24) Something you miss.
If it were someone I miss then that would be my David. But it's something. Well it's still going to tie into my David. I miss living in California. Not all of, but some very specific parts. I miss being able to go to Disney land any time we wanted. We had annual passes the last few years we lived there. It was great!
I miss being able to go up to Big Bear. We only went a few times but it was one of my favorite places in California. It reminded me of where I am from. Very similar really to Nashville, IN now that I really think about it. Also a very romantic place to spend a weekend!
I miss going to the Rennissaince (sp?) fair. We went every year. The last one even in costumes that I made. I just love that kind of stuff. Going back in time. So much fun and so glad we discovered it!
Finally I miss Santa Monica. It's the other place we would go when we were bored. It's where we went on our first date. We could sit on the pier for hours. Just talking and watching the guys fishing. Never did see any of them catch anything. But when they would shine their flashlights on the water we could see some rather large fishes swimming around. I love the water and would have loved to be able to afford a place right on the beach!

23) A family member you dislike.
This one just feels mean. I feel like I shouldn't talk about a family member I don't like. It just feels rude. It doesn't mean there aren't family members I'm not close to, it just feels wrong to dislike a member of your family. So I am going to just write about a family member I'm not close to. And actually there are several and while I would like to think it's their fault we aren't close. It really isn't anyone's fault. You don't pick your family, you pick your friends. So there are just several that while I wish we were close, we just aren't. I don't know if it's our personalities, or just the lives we lead. But we just aren't close. Yet there are other family members that I am extremely close to. So I guess it all is the way it's supposed to be in the end. God knows what he is doing!

22) your morning routine.
I am not a morning person! I do not wake up easily and it takes hours for me to even feel awake. When my alarm goes off I hit the snooze button repeatedly. I need that time to come out of sleep. Once I'm up the bathroom is my first stop. After that I feed the dog and then the cats if they ate all their food from the night before. I check their water dish also. Then I have to decide if I'm hungry and if I am what do I want. Sometimes I just go back and lay in bed watching tv and/or playing on my iPad. If I'm hungry I make whatever and then watch tv while eating. About a half hour before I need to be to work I start getting dressed. Though if I am just putting my hair up I can wait another ten minutes to start getting ready. That is pretty much my morning routine.

21) Your zodiac/horoscope and whether you think it fits you.
My sign is Pisces.
If you go to Wikipedia you can read a full description of what Pisces is considered to be. I am going to post just part of the description.
Western astrologers assert that Pisceans are perceptive, emotional,[39][68] and receptive.[69][69] Notorious for being highly sensitive,[70][60][71] they are also said to be desperately afraid of ridicule,[70] as the sign is deemed "unfortunate."[60][72][37] Pisces are a mutable sign, which makes them receptive, and susceptible to change.[44][73] As a bicorporeal sign, astrologists believe that events in Pisceans' lives are prominently repeated, suggesting that they may marry several times and that misfortunes never come singly. However, according to astrologer Max Heindel, the Piscean's "good fortune also comes in multiple."[67]
The parts about being highly sensitive and desperately afraid of ridicule is so spot on for me. I feel everything, way to much, all the time. I am so afraid of ridicule, it's why even when I know I'm right I often don't say anything, for fear of really being wrong and then being made fun of. It's why when I was in school I hated answering questions in class. It's why even at work I shy away from anything that could make me look bad.
So for the most part I do feel I fit with my sign. I don't necessarily believe in daily horoscopes. Things can change in a blink of an eye.

20) put your player on shuffle and write your thoughts on the first three songs that play.
1- Superheroes by The Script. I love this song, both the lyrics as well as the melody. When I listen to it it gives me hope. It's what we all want isn't it? Either to be a Superhero or to have someone be our Superhero. Part of the lyrics is about making it right. I love that. I want the world to be good and right!
2- See You Again with Wiz Khalifa. This song brings out a lot of emotion in me. It makes me think about my husband and how he is gone from my life. But that he is in Heaven and how because of that I will see him again. Great song for anyone who has lost someone they love.
3- We Rode in Trucks by Luke Bryan. Definitely a country son! Talking about where he grew up. I like the visual I get in my head. Makes me think where I am from, who I am, is a lot like him. Deep down we are all more alike then we are different.

19) Five fears that you have.
My biggest fear is dying alone. Not just like no one is there, but that I would have no family or friends with me at the end. Having lost my husband and us never being able to have any children has just made that fear worse
I am afraid of birds, or anything really that flies. That can attack you and you won't even see it coming. They have beaks and claws. It's why I have never watched "The Birds" it would freak me out.
I am very claustrophobic. Mostly in crowds. I feel like I will be crushed by the people. Probably came from something like that happening when I went to a rock concert when I was a teenager.
I am also afraid of being buried alive. I know that is similar to my claustrophobia, but not exactly. And I'm not sure where this fear comes from. But it is something that is always there in the back of my mind.
I guess my other big fear is fear of failure. It's why I don't do things. It's why I keep myself shut in so much. You can't fail if you don't try, so just don't try.

18) Your favorite color and why?
My favorite color is green, I like both lime green and a softer maybe sage type green. Not sure why it's my favorite. Growing up it was always read. But sometime after I got married I realized green had become my favorite color. More and more of my shirts were green. It's just a pretty color.
