Cee says it’s time to share more of our world. She’s going beyond asking things like “what’s your favorite color/food/holiday?” and asking questions that require thinking! Not sure it’s a good idea for me to try to think with a beer in hand and after a day of running around being sort of busy. What the heck? If I make no sense, you’ll just ignore it, right?
1. Crunchy Peanut Butter or Smooth? Most often smooth, but every once in awhile I like to change it up and go for crunchy.
2. Is there a job you interviewed for and didn’t get that would have totally changed your life as it is now? Please explain. Not that I recall. Unless I fudge a bit and go back to the airline stewardess thing, but that wasn’t a matter of getting as far as an interview, just growing too far. Had I not gotten too tall, and had I actually become a stewardess, I’m sure it would have changed my life. Since I think I am where I’m supposed to be, I’m glad I got too tall.
3. What’s the most interesting “Ice Breaker” Question you have ever been asked? (This one is selfish, I’m always looking for more questions.) This would be easier to answer if I could think of any – the only thing that comes to mind is very juvenile, and was asked of me (frequently) when I was a teenager – “how’s the air up there?” because I was taller than everyone else from the age 12 on. I got so sick of hearing that, so I’d say it’s not a very good ice breaker.
4. If you had the choice between an RV, a sports car, an SUV, or a bicycle, which would you choose and why? This one has many “ifs” attached to it. IF I could afford it, I’d like to have an RV so I could go stay places for a few days at the time, taking my dogs with me without having to hassle finding pet-friendly places to stay. IF I could afford to have a small car to tow behind my RV. IF I lived closer to a shopping area, a bicycle would be good, IF I didn’t have to deal with hills, and snow, and ice. IF I have to be practical, I would like a small SUV-type vehicle, with all-wheel-drive or four-wheel drive. Beauty is not a requirement, reliability and economy are.
That’s the best I can do this week. But I will offer a few photos from the fair, which is where the Artistic One and I headed after the wildlife refuge last week.

It would not be a fair without a “fair-ris” wheel, now would it?

I like your posts when you share a little bit more of your world, and I get to know a little bit more about Carol. If I were to answer the question about the car or bike, I would have as many “if’s” as you do, if not more! I love the horses in the parade, they look very grand.
Love the photos. Gorgeous horses and a beautiful hue on the Ferris Wheel photo. I may have to join you and Cee this week. I have a related airline stewardess answer to the job question.
I’m partial to smooth peanut butter, too
And like Joanne, I especially enjoyed the photograph of the horses in the parade.
You’re right about there being too many conditionals for the last question. And although I almost always buy smooth peanut butter, I will not turn it down in any form.
I was tall too as a kid. I was like 5’6″ or taller since about age 12. So I totally understand your ice breaker question. Regarding you said “Since I think I am where I’m supposed to be”, I her you on that one. It is kind of cool how life turns out.
I too grew too tall to be a stewardess … but I think we may have discussed that before. And me to, age 12 onward, head and shoulders above everyone else. As to the oft repeated, ‘what’s the air like up there?’ my comeback became, ‘grow up and find out’.
This sharing your world is a wonderful idea. I really enjoy hearing your answers Carol. And other comments too. The peanut butter question is the opposite for me, I’m a crunchy person . Although almond butter has become the new peanut butter in our house. Love the photo of grandma and her grand kids!
