Monday-1:30pm

I guess I had written that I don't do awards but had neglected to also include tags--LOL!  (I have now added tags to my comment note.)  But since that was my oversight, I shall respond--somewhat, anyways.  ;)  I'm not going to do the whole tag from In My Mind It's Always Funny, but I'll answer the questions she posed, just because she is a hoot and a nice lady.  ;)
****
1. Why did your parents choose your name? Does it mean something?  I like to believe I was named after the actress Rita Hayworth, but my mother always said I named myself.

2. Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not.  Yes.  Why not?


3. Do you think any president will be able to fix our economy? Do you feel like things are better or worse with the current president.  I don't discuss politics.  Gives me a headache.


4. Favorite time of year. Why?  Fall!!  Not sure.  Has always been the time of year that I find the most exhilarating.  
The cool, crisp air; the colorful, crunchy leaves; the hint of far away snow in the air...and knowing Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner.  Ahhh!  Plus is such a relief from the hot, humid summer--my most unfavorite time of year.  

5. Favorite item of clothing, past or present.  I don't get very attached to clothing.  But I am sentimentally attached to a denim shoulder tote bag I made and embroidered that I used as a diaper bag when my son was a baby.  Does that count?


6. Name the strangest pet you ever had.  Would have to be either the iguana...or the skunk...or maybe the axylotyls...or the baby snapping turtle...or maybe the skink...or the rat...or the rescued toads......


7. If you could take a week off and travel anywhere with money and time away not an issue, where would you go and why?  Well, if health wasn't an issue, either, I'd go visit friends and family.  :)


8. Do you miss a time when we didn't have cell phones are you happy for the latest inventions?  I have learned to LOVE cell phones, lap tops, digital cameras, recording TV shows on a computer...all of it!  No way!  I wouldn't want to go back.  I may be slow to jump on board and Dagan and Leah have had to push me a little, but I have become a convert.  The new technology is kind of like my brain--I only know how to use about a tenth of it--but I would be lost without it.  ;) 


9. What is the one thing you dread more than any other thing? Be honest.  To be perfectly honest--having to leave home for appointments (due to IBS and pain issues).

 
10. Are you high maintenance? Hair, nails, clothing, looking perfect, massages, etc. If so, do you do it to make yourself look better or to FEEL better.  I've always been a low maintenance girl who's slowly become bare minimal maintenance and doesn't even wear makeup anymore when I leave the house or curl my hair.  Clean and combed is good enough.


11. Insert random thought about me here. I am out of questions.  Sorry I didn't post that I don't do tags, but I hope this will suffice.  ;)


****
This is quick today.  It doesn't look like, with the cut and past questions, this is going to work with the font larger.  I will try to post normal size print and see what happens.  I hope it's readable.
byebye!  :)

I really enjoyed reading your answers. It is always nice to hear a bit more of someone that you admire.
I hate writing about myself, so I hope I don't get tagged!

Hope you and Karma are having a good day! ;)

I want to know how you named yourself? I'm with you about politics, it can give one a very big headache indeed!

Good answers, for being reluctant. :-) The awards/tags are time-consuming. I'm with you, low maintenance. I hate the time that taking a shower takes!

DJan said...

It was fun learning these things about you, Rita. Some I knew already but some I didn't. :-)

Friko said...

Pain doesn't stop your sense of humour, does it?
Good for you, Rita.

Cindy Lane said...

Nice to read more about your Rita.

You know I only just found out that axolotls are the immature forms of salamanders, and most here in Australia never get to that stage.

Unknown said...

I love your list of "zoo animals" for pets ... You are a real animal lover! Cute list! Thanks for sharing ... Even if you don't usually play along :)

SandeeNC said...

LOL, I understand your feeling about awards and tags, but I actually enjoyed reading your responses, so it was fun for me! HA! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)

Jenny Woolf said...

C'mon Rita, I want the full story of that pet skunk now! :)

Anonymous said...

Man you have had some pets! I'm a natural girl to. No time to primp it up. :)

Dee said...

Dear Rita, I so love the iconoclastic streak in you.
Peace.

fun to read your answers...xx

Sorry to read about the spam mail you are getting. Is that in BLogger? I guess I've never seen it. I can't understand since you moderate your messages, something I have never done. But I hope you were able to connect to the Doodles class.

I love your strange pets you have rescued over the years. I rescued a turtle once. He lived at my place for years before he decided to move on.

I had to laugh. I don't even own a comb anymore. Haven't for about 15 years. I keep my curly hair very short, so all I need are my fingers to comb it. Guess I'm even more low maintenance than YOU (grin).

Hilary said...

I don't do tags, memes or the award obligations either though I do still enjoy seeing what others have to say. You did a good job of it, Rita. You make folks smile.. and that's such a good thing.

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

Loved reading your answers I like your answer to question 8, I do not know how we managed way back when.....lol

Karen Smithey said...

Well, I'm glad that you did this set of questions, as it's always nice to learn more about people! I loved your list of pets (my most interesting pets were the goats that showed up in my front yard--lots of goaty adventures ensued!)

I'm with you about fall. Always been my favorite season.

Toriz said...

I've never been high maintenance. As long as my hair is combed and my clothes are clean when I leave the house, that's good enough for me!

nutschell said...

Tags can be time consuming, but it's a great way to get to know someone. Glad you answered the questions. It was fun getting to know you:)

Love Rita Hayworth. I want to watch a movie I watched several times as a child to see if I'll still enjoy it. She was a goddess who came down to earth. Don't even remember what the movie was called! Patsy from
