~You are my sunshine.
2. How do you think animals think? (i.e. in animal language, human language, etc.)

~prairie air in the summer, vanilla, winter air in the mountains.

5. What sorts of things do you savor when eating them?

I feel it is time to revive the old Friday Five. So here it is.

1. Do you consider yourself to be a good housekeeper? Why or why not?
~I am a good housekeeper. Probably due to years at camp looking after 13 peoples mess. That and the fact I clean to procrastinate.

2. Are there any household chores that you enjoy doing? If so, what and why?

~I enjoy all yardwork and cleaning the garage. Something nice about getting dirt and oil under the nails.

3. Which household chore frustrates/angers you the most?
~Cleaning up other people’s mess.

4. When doing household chores, what do you do to make them seem less of a “chore”?

~Nothing really, I just giver and get them done so I can move on.

5. Which chore do you find yourself doing most often, and why?
~I find myself reorganizing my piles of papers most often. This is probably due to the fact I do not have the space to have them organized the way I want in this small room of mine. I need an office.
