My first meme

This is my first meme, so please forgive if I have not followed meme protocol. It came from

Bookish Kitty

1. If you could have super powers what would they be and what would you do with them? (Please feel free to be selfish, you do not have to save the world!)

Well I suppose since my hearing is so bad, I would LOVE to have xray eyes. HA! I fooled you didn't I? You thought I was going to say better hearing. Who would want super-duper hearing? You'd never get any rest at night. I have always wanted the ability to become invisible. This, of course, I would only use to spy on my children--especially my eighteen year old son who I know speeds around in his car a little too much. Flying would be nice. I'm afraid of heights. I would never have to worry about that again. OK-- after thinking about it some--I have never known of a super hero with this power- but I would like to have super hearing, and be able to turn it off at night. My final power? I would like the ability to change rocks into gold. And I really WOULD give a lot of it away!!

2. Were you to find yourself stranded on an island with a CD player...it could happen...what would your top 10 bloggers island discs be?

This is a tough one. I do not hear so well and rarely listen to CD's anymore, but I can still hear some music, though it's mostly hit and miss.

I like--
B B King
Ray Charles
Belly Dancing Djembe Music CD from my dance class-- do not know the name of it, but I might as well have something to dance to, and the djembes are cool!
Lonesome Dove Soundtrack-- the French Horn on this is haunting, and I can HEAR it!
Perfect Storm Soundtrack--Great book!

Now I'll list some music I used to listen to that I would like to hear again perfectly, that I still try to listen to sometimes-- that I could listen to with super-power hearing :) . . . Got that?

Brandenburg Concertos-- My favorite of all time piece of music-- I will hear it again in heaven
Appalachian Spring-Rodeo-Billy The Kid-Fanfare for the Common Man~Aaron Copeland
Anything by Mozart
Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks
Beatles--Hey? How did they get on this list??


3. If you were a smell what would it be?

The first day of fall.

What bird would you most like to be?

Sandpiper. Aren't they cute? And they have lots and lots of friends and they spend their entire lives on the beach!

5. If you were a bird who's head would you poo on?

I don't think Sandpipers poo on heads.

6. Are there any foods that your body craves?

Coffee-- but that's a beverage I guess. So I'll say nuts. I LOVE them. All kinds.

7. What's your favourite time of year?

I love early Fall best. I think I like all the seasonal transitions best--early Fall, early Winter, early Spring, early Summer-- but early Fall is the very best time of all.

8. What's your favourite time of day?

Night-- I have always been a night owl.

9. If a rest is as good as a change which would you choose?

I believe in moderation. Change keeps the mind sharp, but too much can be exhausting. Right now I feel ready for a change-- which is a good thing-- because I'm entering a new phase in my life-- the empty nest phase. OR. . . I SHOULD be emptying the nest-- but I'm not really-- because my 25-year-old son moved back home. But someday, I'll have an empty nest. . .right?. . .RIGHT??

10. If you could have a dinner party and invite any 5 people from the past or present who would they be? (Living or deceased.)

This is a tough one because of my hearing loss. I would like to have Juliett Gordon Low because I've always admired her as a late-deafened woman who got things done. Also-- she sounds like a kick in the pants-- a real livewire to have around; Bill Cosby-- he's funny and wise; The Dalai Lama--my hero; James Van Praagh-- might be interesting to see what spiritual guests, if any, he would attract during dinner; and my husband-- because he's my best friend and I absolutely would want to discuss this special night with him afterwards!
