1. How did you choose a name for your blog?
I wanted to use the name I use for most online correspondence "Mombear."
2. How many times have you changed the name of your blog?
I've never changed it.
3. How many blogs do you update regularly?
Unfortunately, I don't update any as much as I should, but I do have three of my own. This is the only one I update the most.
4. How many times have you moved in your life?
Nine times, plus a couple of temporary moves enroute to new permanent residences.
5. On a scale of 1-10, how stressful is moving (in your opinion)?
8 - I think it is very stressful, although I do enjoy going to new places. Our last move was difficult because I had thought we had made our final move when DH retired from the military. We left a lot of friends and I loved my former job.
6. When moving, do you/would you rent a moving van/truck?
Two years ago we rented a U-Haul truck and trailer, and drove our two vehicles in three trips cross country. It was a tough move, but I think we might do it again, depending on how much heavy furniture we will move next time.
7. Do you wear glasses? If so, how old were you when you needed them?
Yes and I got them when I was around 16 yrs old.
8. What one question would you hope someone running a meme, would ask?
What is your wildest dream?
Name 3 (or more, or less!) things...
1. ...you cannot live without. My kids!
2. ...you CAN live without, but cannot seem to part with. Buying more scrapbooking supplies... :)
3. ...you wish to accomplish this COMING week. I need to make several cards, a couple of scrapbook layouts, start planning for Christmas.
4. ...you have accomplished this PAST week. I made five cards.
5. ...on your holiday (or non-holiday) 'wish list.' I wish for happiness for my kids, continued good health for my parents, and a miracle to help us financially.
6. ...you would like to change about yourself. I'd like to lose at least 40 lbs more, become more active, and less nervous about driving.
7. ...you like about yourself. I like my eyes, I like showing off my success at weight loss.
8. ...you should be doing right now instead of what you ARE doing. Making cards or scrapbooking or writing our family Christmas letter.
9. ...in your life that could use a little more organization. Housekeeping, finances, hobbies.
I hope you've not answered these before, but if so, humor me and answer them again!
Do you.....
1. Code your own website or use a template? I use a template, although I have taken a class on HTML and have used it for some pages on my site.
2. Use a digital camera or a film camera? If digital, do you print your own pictures, order them online, or send them out? I mostly use a digital camera, but also have a film camera for backup. Since I do a lot of scrapbooking, I do sometimes print my own photos. If I have a large number of pictures to print, I will go to a photo center to print them. I have also used Snapfish.com and Shutterfly.com to order pictures online. I do prefer Snapfish.
3. Make your own cards or buy them at a card shop? I recently started making my own cards and enjoy it immensely. I have, however, purchased my Christmas cards. :)
4. Draw your own graphics or get them from the internet? From the internet or elsewhere. I have tried making my own, but it seems to be beyond my creative capabilities. LOL!
5. Take showers or baths? Showers.
6. Make your own candles or buy them? And are they soy or paraffin? Buy them.
7. Celebrate Halloween or not? We enjoy Halloween... fun to participate in trick-or-treating.
8. Sleep in on weekends or get up early even if you don't have to go to work? I usually sleep in on weekends... but then again, since I don't currently go to work, I COULD sleep in every day. :)
9. Correct other people's grammar, or just let it go? I usually let it go. It doesn't drive me crazy like it might some people.
