But when my kids started doing Latin, I was happy I knew about them!<br /><br />I too love everything bagels. I like them with pepper jam.

I've just starte...I loved reading your answers! I've just started studying Spanish myself so I'm a little more prepared for my trip to Mexico, and it's been fun so far. I can't help being thrilled by the lack of cases after Russian. hehe<br /><br />Anyway, here are my answers...<br /><br />Can you type properly, or are you a hunt-and-peck kind of person?<br />I can type properly; we had lessons all through elementary school that involved them turning off our monitors while we typed. :o<br /><br />Name your favorite hobby besides reading.<br />Photography<br /><br />Why are you named what you are named?<br />I had a great grandmother named Eva.<br /><br />What is your favorite breakfast?<br />An everything bagel with a thin spread of real butter.<br /><br />Charles Dickens or Leo Tolstoy?<br />Tolstoy! But really, almost every author would win with me if they're up against Dickens. hehe<br /><br />Are you more of a big-city or a rural sort of person?<br />Big city: I love museums & restaurants & bring able to walk everywhere.<br /><br />Are you going to celebrate Pi Day, and with what kind of pie?<br />Nope: I don't really like pie, except for pumpkin. & I limit that to Thanksgiving because otherwise I'd eat WAY too much of it!<br /><br />Would you rather have Indian or Mexican food for dinner?<br />If I'm cooking, Mexican. If I'm a restaurant, Indian!<br /><br />Who was your best friend when you were 10?<br />Mary, a classmate whose family lived just outside of town and had chickens, goats, and a couple of donkeys.<br /><br />As long as we're doing nostalgia, what was your favorite song when you were 14?<br />Probably "Lightning Crashes" by Live.<br /><br />What odd thing has happened to you lately?<br />When I went to pick up my library holds yesterday, I found a book called "The Ultimate Flooring Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Choosing and Installing Flooring." I'm the polar opposite of the DIY network, so I was trying to figure out how I'd accidentally requested it. But I went to the librarians, and it was actually meant for another patron at a different branch, but somehow got attached to my gardening book.<br /><br />Ok, that's not very odd. But I live a sheltered life! ;)Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703372903532502944noreply@blogger.com
