Like a kid kept prisoner in the house due to the rain, I’ve run out of toys, so I just keep pumping out new blog entries.  This will be the last, I promise.  This is an answer to Cee’s Share Your Week Challenge.

List 2 things you have to be happy about.

I am happy that I have a MacBook Air again to make writing and posting effortless.  But, I am also happy that fate forced me to learn how to operate an Acer PC so now I have both backup and an extra computer to do research on, receive videos and take to the pool to watch movies on while I do my aerobic exercise.  I’d do so right now, but I see it is still raining!  48 hours without a letup now.

Last time this happened, we had a major landslide through my fraccionamiento and the village below.  It took over a year to repair the damage.  So nonstop rain does create a bit of worry, but the other 4 day nonstop rain was during the rainy season when there had been a few months of rain leading up to it, so why worry?  Also, this post is supposed to have a happy theme by the looks of it.

Do you prefer ketchup or mustard or mayonnaise?  

Mustard. (Why do you want to know, Cee?  Is a lunch invitation in my immediate future?)

If you were to paint a picture of your childhood, what colors would you use?

Yellow and Green.

Green because my main toy was our big yard that stretched around our house.  Lawnmowing day meant huge grass piles we could make into nests.  My older sister was the mamma bird, feeding worms to her baby bird (me.)  The worms, in case you were going to ask, were bologna (we called it minced ham) cut into long strips.  Right, Patti?  Or do I have it wrong?  It might have been cooked spaghetti.

Yellow because the two times (prior to age 11) that I got to choose what color I wanted my room to be, I chose yellow both times.  I chose, predictably, green for the linoleum and the first time my much older sister painted the dormer wall of my room red.  The rest was yellow, as per my request.

Do you prefer a bath or shower?

Shower, now that I have an outside hot tub that fills with natural thermal hot water 4 times a week.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am grateful that my friend Dianne came to stay with me for the week while she was a presenter at the local writers conference and for the conference itself and all the new friends I met there.

In the week coming up, I’m looking forward to a jazz improv/ poetry reading (Entitled “Dangerous Intersections”) that I’m giving with six other members of my poetry group, “The Not Yet Dead Poets.”  I’ll post a flyer later this week.
