· What books and magazines are you reading right now?
I am reading A
View From A Height, a new novel written by a friend and coworker, J. E. Murphy. It is a bit sci-fi; not my normal reading
material, but it has captured my attention. Ever the stickler for typographical errors, I made a comment to him halfway through
reading, that he should have asked me to help him proof, because I had come across a few errors. He asked me to mark them.
Well, he asked for it…I continued reading and in the remaining 200 pages, I found 30 changes. He made these corrections
as well as adding my name as a proofreader. I told him if my name was being included, I would like to reread the first 400
pages and look for more changes. This is my idea of fun!
· What is your best and worst personality trait?
This is so perfect for me right now—nonassertiveness!
Let me explain, I like being easygoing and nonassertive and I have found it to be a very good trait. However, it can also
be a bad trait. For instance, last week I got my hair high-lighted. I was obviously unhappy (almost crying) with the results
- but do you think I would stand up for myself and ask my hairdresser to fix it? Are you kidding, I tipped her and
left. In the next three days, I picked up three different products ($) and asked countless friends for advice. Wouldn’t
it have been easier to ask the hairdresser for help? I finally did and now I like my hair.
· How did you meet your best friend or significant other?
I met my husband in a singles Sunday School class.
I was the social chair and the day I met him, our class was going bowling in the evening. For the first (and only) time, I
called three guys to invite them to our social. Guess who showed up? That was twenty-seven years ago!
· What do you do for fun?
See first question above. Plus, sewing, scrapbooking, crafting,
reading, swimming, traveling, and hanging out with my family!
· What's the last song you listened to?
“Bridge Over Troubled Water” came on at
lunch today as I was getting out of my car. I turned it up loud and sang along!
· What's your housework strategy?
Hurry up, company’s coming!
· What's the last Web site you visited and why?
http://iaap-centark.tripod.com. I had to do some updates (including this column).
