Getting to know ME

Here is another "participation" blog activity....again it's a week late....





The questions..








1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....?



Not sure....used to have a couple of prom dresses, but not anymore. Collectively, there is ALOT of clothes; expensive because I don't wear much of it. 





2. Have you ever played a team sport?



As a child, played softball.  Otherwise, no, not very athletically inclined.



3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be?



hmmmm...while being a fly could be helpful in many situations, they tend to be swatted alot....so I'd have to say a butterfly.





4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? 



probably the female chest...need I say more?





5. Are you happy?



Most of the time, yes.





6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them?



As long as i know what it means, no not really.





7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?



Every place has it's pros and cons.  Climate wise....I wouldn't mind somewhere less wet in the spring and less hot/humid in the summer.  House wise...I like our house...could sometimes stand more room...but we like it nonetheless and we like the city where we live.



8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full?



I don't typically have any problems stopping when I'm fully; unfortunately, my brain just doesn't always tell me I'm full in time for me to stop from stuffing myself.  Move the plate away, cover it up, leave.

Monday Minute

I found a few blogs that have participation projects ( I don't know what else to call them)....they sound like fun.. I'm just joining in the fun, so this is from last week. 




Monday Minute




Have you ever peed in the shower/bath/pool?





As a child, I'm sure I did...at least in the pool or shower.  Not the bath...gross.





What is your biggest pet peeve?



gossip, liars...so dishonesty in general, I guess.







What's the story behind your blog title?



No story--it's the means I use to share what's going on in our life.  The Juelfs Journal started out as an intended yearly newsletter which never seems to come to fruition...so this way I can share all year long.







What is your definition of success?



Oh my.  Success is being happy with who I am, where I am in life and what I am doing.  I may not always accomplish the goal either in timing or effort, but as long as I am happy in the journey, then I was/am successful.





If you were famous, what would you want to be famous for?



For never giving up even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges (for the record, I don't WANT to be famous. Ever.)
