Bernard Pivot Blogfest - 10 questions-10 answers

Welcome to the Bernard Pivot Blogfest!

"What I love about the questionnaire is you can either answer the questions with all the truth in your heart, or you can approach them with creativity and cleverness -- finding answers or deliveries no one else has ever come up with.  But which ever way you go, each of your answers will be revealing, telling us interesting things about you."
From: Nicole Ducleroir

-------------------------------

1. What is your favorite word? Rhubarb

2. What is your least favorite word? But.
Because it’s usually followed by bad news…usually.

3. What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? Music.

4. What turns you off? Stress.

5. What is your favorite curse word?  Fuck!
In the right context.

6. What sound or noise do you love? My son and husband laughing together.

7. What sound or noise do you hate? The alarm clock.

8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? Before I wanted to be an author, I wanted to be a rock star.

9. What profession would you not like to do? Anything with numbers. 

10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?  
We’re closed for remodeling.


 Thanks for stopping in.

  5. Rhubarb--that really is a fun word, the way it sort of rolls off the tongue and the almost audible silent H. :)

  9. Wendy - Thank you!

    KO & j.leigh.bailey - It is a great word. Its part of a joke in our family so we actually use the word a lot. Thanks for reading and commenting!

    Liz - I know I have to get up but does it have to be so annoying? Thanks for coming.

    Sylvia & Michelle - I have only had rhubarb when it is mixed with strawberries and baked in a pie. Then it's REALLY good. But I haven't really had it in other things. Maybe it's time to branch out! Thank you both for stopping in.

    Jessica - I don't play any instruments. I like to think that I can sing, but I also like to think that I'm a writer!
    There is that whole can't speak in front of people thing going on too so that pretty much burns that bridge.
    I appreciate you coming by.

  27. The closed for remodeling may be a problem - where are they housing you during this interruption of operation? Don't let them send you to the alternative resort, though I do have a beach house there - I just can't rcommend the weather. Have them fly you home and give you a raincheck.
