Tea or coffee?<\/li>\n<p>Tea, most definitely.  Coffee smells good, but tastes bad to me (don&#8217;t faint, Christine!).<\/p>\n<li>Where would you most like to live?<\/li>\n<p>Actually, I am happy where I am.  Except for the past year or two, the temperatures are within a good range for me, we see all four seasons and we&#8217;re somewhat close to a good number of family members.  If global warming keeps going at this rate, though, we might have to move a little further north.  I do wish that our house was a little more isolated.  I like my peace and quiet and wouldn&#8217;t mind having more than our measly 1+ acre to insulate us from neighbors.<\/p>\n<li>Who taught you to cross stitch?<\/li>\n<p>My mother.<\/p>\n<li>Which do you prefer?  Cats or dogs?<\/li>\n<p>Dogs, because I&#8217;m not nearly as allergic to them.  But I had cats all through my childhood and love them immensely, as long as they are friendly (not like Terry&#8217;s Dad&#8217;s cats who will scratch your eyes out).<\/p>\n<li>On a scale of 1 to 10, how organized are you?<\/li>\n<p>Hmmmm&#8230;  I personally think that I&#8217;m pretty organized, so I would put myself at an 8 or 9.  You wouldn&#8217;t tell from looking at my cluttered house, though.\n<\/ol>\n<p>Outi:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How many languages you speak fluently?<\/li>\n<p>Unfortunately, just English.  Even after 8 years of French classes, I would never have claimed to be fluent.<\/p>\n<li>What you wanted, as a kid, to be when you grow up?<\/li>\n<p>Have I ever mentioned that I don&#8217;t have a lot of distinct memories from my childhood?  This would fall under that category, but I do remember that I <strong>REALLY<\/strong> wanted to be a prima ballerina for quite some time, until I grew too tall.  Other desired professions included being a writer and a professional flutist, both of which were based on my mother.  Funny how I never really wanted to become a police officer like my father&#8230;<\/p>\n<li>Your first kiss? When and with whom?<\/li>\n<p>I really had to think about this and I&#8217;m still not sure, but I think it was the senior that I dated when I was a sophomore in high school.  Or it could have been my good friend&#8217;s brother, over whom two of us fought.  \ud83d\ude06  The only thing I really remember was being mauled by a kid who lived a few houses away and was in my kindergarten class.  He slobbered all over my cheek and it was kinda gross.  \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<li>Is there any finishing method you dislike?<\/li>\n<p>I am good with anything that I can hand-sew, which is probably why I like biscornus so much.  Anything method that requires a sewing machine, though, drives me nuts because I am not very adept with my sewing machine and end up making it do all sorts of terrible things that it shouldn&#8217;t normally do.  Sewing a straight line is a definite challenge for me.  I do muddle through, though.<\/p>\n<li>How old you were when you began to stitch?<\/li>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure of the actual date, but it was somewhere between 11 and 12.  I lean towards 11.\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karen (in Canada): Which do you prefer? Tea or coffee? Tea, most definitely.
