My apologies for the wonky formatting. I have no idea what's going on. Don't have any more time to fiddle with it right now.
1. American Idol is back for a 14th season. Are you watching? Have you ever
watched?
Yes, I've watched probably 10 seasons. Some weren't worth the time because of the
judges and the wasted time on terrible contestants. I am watching this season, as I
did last, because I love the judges. Not only are all they gorgeous to look at (Harry
really knows his music theory, and is absolutely hilarious and did I say dreamy? or something akin to that?/and I tend to agree with his judgments of the performances more often than I
do with JLo's or Keith Urban's.
If you were to audition for the show (or were made to audition), what song would you
sing?
"His Eye is on the Sparrow." It is near and dear to my soul and is one I can sing solo in the right key and still hit all the range of notes. Would I make it Hollywood? I can pretty well say with assurance, that's a big fat NO.
2. Mark Twain is quoted as saying, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in
the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first
So when did you last have to 'eat a frog'? Or two? How'd that work out?
I think my innerds are half frog. Too many examples within the family setting to
mention.
3. If you were going on safari, what is the number one animal you'd want to see?
A giraffe. They mesmerize me without frightening me.
4. January 21st is National Granola Bar Day. I know. Do you like granola bars? Chewy or
crunchy? Your favorite flavor? How about regular granola? Let's exhaust this topic in
honor of the holiday okay?
I do like granola bars, prefer chewy ones, especially a chocolate-peanut butter kind.
I love granola cereal and the best is the homemade recipe from my friend Kelly G.
When it's warm from the oven,it might as well be dessert.
5. If only my hair would cooperate for more than two weeks after a great cut....
6. You can add one item to your bedroom. What will it be? Keep it family friendly please.
Teehee. How about I call "a seating area" an item? I want two cream colored club
chairs, a small table, and a vase of fresh flowers in my bedroom.

7. What is one thing you've enjoyed about winter thus far? If it's not winter in your
corner of the globe, what season is it, and what is something you've enjoyed about
whatever season it happens to be?
I have loved hearing four little words a couple of times thus far: ''School is closed
today."
My sister Andrea is moving today from Arizona to Kentucky. Her husband is not going. She is
unable to take her beloved pets because she'll be living in a hotel until she buys a house. While my
heart is broken for her, she is being as positive as possible, and she will be in a climate that her
asthma should be better. Her doctor said if she stayed in Arizona, where it's dry and dusty all the
time, it could eventually kill her.
On the bright side for me, she will be only about 8.5 hours away from me, a very doable drive or a
quick flight. My younger sister is helping her drive their personal truck while a moving company
handles the big truck. I'm praying for their safety and my sister's comfort as she starts basically a
new life this week.

Praying for your sister!
I will be thinking of your sister and her road ahead, literal and figurative, and will add her to my prayers today. I'd like fresh flowers in my house everyday too.
How I love "His Eye Is on the Sparrow"! "I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free..." POWERFUL! Your sister will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.
Interesting about the Arizona climate. I always thought it was good for people who suffer with asthma and have allergy issues. All that clean air. But, yes, it's dry. I hope her move goes smoothly.
I'll be thinking of your sister! How sad to hear she has to leave her husband and pets. I remember when i lived in SoCal my allergies were worse, northern CA has been a better place for me.
I agree on your idol comment and giraffes!
Best wishes to your sister on her new start in life.
I love "His Eye is On The Sparrow". So many times my thoughts have wandered to fretting about things I shouldn't and I glance out the window and see a little bird. My mind immediately says thanks to God and I can't help but smile :)
Love "His Eye is On The Sparrow," I grew up with that song and know it word for word.
Bless your sister's heart, what a tough time in her life. I do pray she will be very happy in her new place and with hr new life.
Happy rest of the week!
See? i KNEW we were sistahs'from'anotha'mutha - chocolate peanut butter granola bars! His Eye is on the Sparrow! Two of my favorite things! (Only I got a little excited when I read your last item incorrectly and thought your sister was moving TO Arizona, which, as you know, is mighty close to CA, where I live. Because it's all about me. No seriously... I'll be praying for her - that's a huge move, and oh dear, to not have her husband going with... so much change. I'm so glad she has you!
I am a morning person. But need to do a better job of eating frogs. Yes, Harry is super dreamy. No, I do not watch AI. I watch very little TV, actually. Takes time away from quilting :-)
Spent Christmas in New Orleans - best thing this winter.
Sending best wishes to your sister!!!
