Random Dozen-Whatever number we're on-

This weeks Random Dozen from 2nd Cup of Coffee.
1. Which physical trait do you now accept--maybe not love, but accept--and no longer feel extremely self-conscious about? My Inner-Child- - -Does that count?

2. This week Meredith Baxter Birney, best known as the mom on the favorite 80s sitcom "Family Ties" came out of the closet, which led me to formulate this question: Who do you think is/was the best TV mom? I loved the mom in the Grady Bunch

3. Do you speak any foreign languages? Are there any you'd like to learn? Speak no, attempting to learn yes, Latin. I would say any languge Sweedish would be a cool languge to learn how to speak.

4. Who is your personal hero? Hero, I don't know- - -Some I look up to, There are a few, and for different reasons. Currently Mrs. Tower

5. What is one holiday food that you find extremely difficult to resist over- indulging in? Thanksgiving/Christmas/When ever there is Pumpkin Pie involved ;p

6. Tell me about a Christmas decoration that has special meaning or sentimental value. The Carolers


This year we just got them from my grandfather. My grandmother and I used to put them up and I remember doing it, it was something I always loved doing, but ever since she passed away in 2001, my grandfather only put them up once. My mom has tried to get them earlier, but my grandfather wouldn't let them go, needless to say they are now all up for the first time in a long time, and I have my favortite up in my bedroom.

7. How do you feel about snow? It changes with my mood, I usually don't like it, but it makes the earth so pretty, its hard not to like/love snow.

8. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get each night? Not that I'm jealous of any number over three or anything. Ummm, it depends. . .I would say around 10, but that is only beacuse I'm going to be at 7:30 and waking up at 5:00/6:00am

9. Tell me about your first crush. - - -Hmmm it was at an acting class, and we were talking about teenagers dating and if they should, or shouldn't date, and then he told me that he like me, and I was thinking "Wow, you're such an idiot, you're talking about teenagers that shouldn't be dating and you like him, and he just asked you it! Way to go!". Needless to say, I intoduced Jordan to my mom who picked my up, and Jordan to my dad next class when he picked me up. Both of my parents approved, and we went out for a little bit.

10. You're stuck in a room for 2 hours with only a chalkboard and chalk. What will you write/draw? Do I have a bed? Well if I had to write, I would start writing stuff that I needed to do, or continue my novel.

11. Do you dress for the current temp or for the day's forecast? For the day's forecast, there is no point in dressing for a cold morning, only to learn that it's going to be a nice day.

12. Favorite Christmas movie is? "The classics" that air on ABC Family

Wonderful story about your ornaments. I can so relate when I read your profile. I have a grown daughter that I still have a very close relationship with, and then a daughter that I had late in life. Im 48 and she's nine and I hope to have the same close relationship with her that I have with her sister.

Latin is very cool. My teen daughter has studied it for years (since 3rd) and now that she's taking French she's finding it REALLY helps. So stick with it.

I'm glad you got your grandma's ornaments and they'll have someone to care for them. Otherwise, they're just "STUFF"

SouthLakesMom- Latin is hard for me, especially when I know that I won't use it if I went somewhere, well unless I went to visit the Pope, but since I'm a protestant, I doubt that would happen. Mom and other adults around me say that it is very good for SATs and stuff like that, so it would be somthing I need to keep up with it.

I'm glad I got my grandmother's stuff too, it's nice to see them out again.

Thena-The relationship between my mom and I is 99 % of the time close, but there are times that her and I get into yelling matches, or we need to take a breather before we can talk to eachother, but I would have to say having a mom that is close to you and someone you can tell anything to, is amazing!

You're writing a novel? How admirable! ;-)

Kirsten-Yup :) It is easier said then done, I started writing it when we were moving, and I didn't really think of it as a novel, but as it is over 170 pages, it's now my goal to see if I can publish it.
