16. How often do you eat out?
Lunch 2-3 times a week. Dinner once a week during choir.
17. It\u2019s Kurt Russell\u2019s birthday \u2013 a child actor who grew up. Have you seen any of the Disney films in which he acted (he played the college student Dexter Riley)?
I checked IMDB, and it looks like I didn't really see anything of his until the 1980's.
18. Which flowers or trees are blooming where you live now?
um....the white trees? lol I've heard they are pear.
19. If you had the space (and the time), would you like to keep chickens?
No way, Jose. I have no problem with other people's chickens, but not a fan of domestic birds.
20. Was learning a new language part of your education when you were at school? Can you still remember any of it?
We learned a tiny bit in elementary. Then nothing until college. I learned a little bit of Japanese, but have forgotten most of it. Actually got my credit requirement through choir-we sang in so many languages (fun!).
21. It\u2019s National California Strawberry Day. What is your favourite way to eat strawberries?
chocolate covered. :)
22. Do you still buy physical books, or do you tend to buy e-books these days? Does it depend on the type of book (i.e. fiction or non-fiction)?
Still prefer to have physical books. Have gotten e-books if it's way cheaper or I am impatient, but often wish I had a real book. Don't mind reading fanfic on the phone or computer, though. Weird.
23. When was the last time you ate some chocolate?
Yesterday I had a Riesen.
24. Harry Houdini was born today in 1874. Are you a fan of magic shows? Have you ever seen someone perform close-up magic?
When I was younger I had a cousin who did magic. I also did a little myself about that time.
Yes, I know it's all sleight of hand, but it's still impressive what they can do.","comments":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/624299.html?view=comments#comments","category":["meme","random"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623959.html","pubDate":"Mon, 16 Mar 2026 01:59:13 GMT","title":"Ides of March","author":"adafrog","link":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623959.html","description":"8.

9. As it\u2019s \u2018Check Your Batteries Day\u2019, when was the last time you checked your stock of batteries? Or, do you just buy them when you need them?
I try to keep some of each available. Had to buy AA today.
10. It\u2019s International Wig Day \u2013 have you ever worn a wig or a hairpiece?
A wig for a short amount of time. They make me itch *so much*.
11. How organised are you with household paperwork (or is everything just in one big pile)?
Both. I keep it in a pile for a while, then log and file when I feel like it. Can be a few weeks, or a few months.
12. When was the last time you vacuumed the floor?
bwaaa hahahaha. I mean, I just swept the living room floor tonight. (see #15)
13. It\u2019s International School Meals Day. Did you ever have school meals, and what dish still sticks in your memory if you did?
Yes. I had institutional food until I was 28. (gotta love school). I know I had favorites, but don't remember what they were. I did learn to mix cereals in college, though.
14. International \u2018Ask Me A Question Day\u2019. Go ahead \u2013 ask me a question!
I'm pretty sure this means you ask me a question.
15. What\u2019s the weather like today?
OMG, so shitty. Was 80 yesterday and so nice. Today it's in the 50s, with feels like in the 20s. Sustained wind over 30 mph with gusts to 45. Dirt is ***everywhere**. Also, the wind is coming from the north, which has no wind block. At least the barn is okay, since the stalls open to the south.","comments":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623959.html?view=comments#comments","category":["meme","whine","random"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623705.html","pubDate":"Sun, 08 Mar 2026 03:44:38 GMT","title":"Saturday","author":"adafrog","link":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623705.html","description":"3.

28. Do you own many notebooks? What do you use them for?
I have a few. The fancy ones stated as journals, but only have a few pages done. lol
1. Since 1990, Clean Up Australia Limited has sponsored a yearly Clean Up Australia Day. Have you ever taken part in a \u2018clean up\u2019 initiative where you live?
We don't really have them where I live. Companies can 'adopt' sections of highways. It's pretty flat, and there's a lot of wind here, so even if something was cleaned, a few days later there will be trash. Or vice versa. ;\/","comments":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623476.html?view=comments#comments","category":"meme"},{"guid":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623133.html","pubDate":"Thu, 26 Feb 2026 03:44:21 GMT","title":"I still exist!","author":"adafrog","link":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/623133.html","description":"Regular Olympics are over.

Was wondering why I hadn't gotten paid yesterday. This morning I was reminded it was because of the holiday. Ah. Already had waited a day since the 15th was on Sunday.
Valentine's Day was a little stressful because I socialized! The opera had a fundraiser with a social hour (ack!) and then an awesome folky-ish concert. https:\/\/www.americanportraits.org<\/a>
I successfully socialized without bursting into flames. lol The musicians were wonderful, and the pianist was quirky fun.

Functionally, one. I have two half siblings that I don't really interact with.
13. What\u2019s the weather like today? Is it about average for the time of year?
It was in the 70's with nasty bad wind. The temp is a bit above average. The wind was a bit more than usual, but spring we tend to get nasty wind. Going to be in the 50's in a few days-that's more normal.
14. How many flights of stairs would you consider walking up in a building, or do you always take the lift\/elevator?
One of my attendings once said I take the elevator up and the stairs down. Thought it was smart. lol It depends on where I am. Mostly, though I'll go up one, maybe two.
15. Have you ever considered how you would leave your home in an emergency?
Yes. Luckily I have good windows or doors in my house. I do worry about my critters.

Choir last night was interesting. We spent the last 15 minutes in the nave, singing with the bells. We are doing an anthem together. The first time ever.

After a fall (from a horse)several years ago it came out the first time, and stayed that way for a long time. Since then it'll come out once in a while just for fun. It makes my whole left lower back hurt and pulls my hip, so I walk like an old lady.

Cold here. Forgot to turn the faucet on in the tack room last night, so that's frozen. The space heater is running still, so I'm hoping that'll be enough to not have a break. (I've had two breaks before, and it floods all the stalls. Not fun) It's been before. *crosses fingers*

Got ice cream next door :). Dropped off most of my tax stuff. Ran home to grab the dogs, then drug them to the vet. I needed more heart worm meds, but they wanted new weights and heartworm tests. Dropped them off home, changed my pants and coat (OMG, hair!), then ran to Starbucks. There I got another refresher and my 'dinner' of a coffee cake while I looked over the info for the vestry meeting. Which then took an hour longer than usual because we were going over the budget. And it was cold, as usual, because the building we have it in is old and the HVAC is only sometimes working.
And now I'm home, have fed, and have to go to sleep soon. :p

16. Do you have a favourite genre of music?
I can tolerate\/enjoy most music except western. I do like older country, but the newer stuff is a no go. Favorite, though, is probably musicals. Vocal jazz, Anglican choir music, 80s, folk, taiko.","comments":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618685.html?view=comments#comments","category":["meme","music"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618465.html","pubDate":"Fri, 16 Jan 2026 03:17:40 GMT","title":"Ugliest House Day","author":"adafrog","link":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618465.html","description":"They release the new episode of Ugliest House in America on streaming today.

14. Mark Antony was born today in Rome in 83BCE. Have you ever seen \u201cCleopatra\u201d starring Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra and Richard Burton as Mark Antony?
I think I've seen pictures, but never the movie.
15. If you could, would you like to be a little bit taller or a little bit shorter?
Never shorter. I occasionally would like to be a wee bit taller to look more elegant in the saddle, but I usually like who I am. Well, I try to, anyway. lol","comments":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618465.html?view=comments#comments","category":["tv","meme"]},{"guid":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618025.html","pubDate":"Wed, 14 Jan 2026 01:27:10 GMT","title":"Tuesday","author":"adafrog","link":"https:\/\/adafrog.livejournal.com\/618025.html","description":"Had a good riding lesson today.
