Here's my Saturday 9 post just a little early this week. Tomorrow is going to be crazy busy, but I didn't want to miss out. Enjoy!
1. What has someone done unusual to make you feel their love?
My husband is awesome at doing goofy things to show he loves me. On my 35th birthday I got the entire set of Where the Wild Things Are stuffed animals. I also got a shelf to go with them for display. The usual part was when he hung the sign under them that said, "Mrs. Greenberg's Classroom- Room # to come soon." He knows I want to have my Wild Things in my classroom, so he was helping me to dream. I still had a year of school left to go at that time.
2. Do you own a smart phone? If yes, is it everything you wanted? If no, how seriously have you considered a purchase of the new smart phone?
I do not own a smartphone, nor do I intend to purchase one. I do have an iPod touch, and I am VERY pleased with that. I really don't need to spend any more money on technology.
3. Have you ever camped out to purchase something?
Heck no! I hate shopping as it is, and I don't like crowds. The idea of camping out for the privilege to buy something creeps me out. Ug, I'd rather do just about anything else.
4. What is your worst habit?
Although I'm on my way to breaking this habit, the worst I have is chewing on my nails. I have stopped biting them for the most part, but now I pick or chew at the skin around the nails because it doesn't feel right.
5. What is your best habit?
My best habit is that I go to bed and get up at the same time every day, give or take an hour. I really am like a human alarm clock. If I sleep past 6 AM there is definitely something wrong.
6. In your opinion, what is life's greatest mystery?
Life's greatest mystery is why there are people that are pure evil. Were they born that way? What happened that made them so angry, bitter, or just plain ugly inside?
7. Are you one of those people who is constantly busy with projects, social outings, etc. or do you just like to lay low and stay home?
I go through phases in regards to socializing. Sometimes I am constantly on the go, other times I would be happy to never leave the house. For the most part I prefer home or hanging out with one other couple.
8. Whether you're busy all the time or like to just chill, have you always been that way?
As I said, I do go through spurts when I am busy with book clubs, social activities, and volunteer work. Generally, though, I have always been a home body. I would often get grounded on purpose as a teenager so I had an excuse not to go the the parties and other crazy things my friends were doing.
9. Is there something you'd like to change about how you spend your time? If so, what is it? If not, why not?
If you follow my blog, you know I would love nothing more than to be able to exercise and spend more time doing that. For the new readers, please see the About Me page to understand why I have sat on my couch since March 23rd. Yeah, I would like to spend my time differently, but that is not exactly an option right now.

Hi Karen, I'm way behind this week and wanted to pop over and say a huge thanks for following my facebook and adding my button to your blogs page - much appreciated. Loved this post and am so with you in many of the items - I too hate shopping, wonder about evil people and am not interested in spending even more on technology, to name a few. Great to be getting to know you.
Cheryl, it's my pleasure to have your blog button on my page. Ah, a fellow shopping hater. I don't find too many of those! LOL Thanks for stopping by. It's great to be getting to know you, too. Have a great weekend!
Hey Karen, stopping by from the Saturday 9. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks. I hope you have a great weekend too!
LOVE your husbands gift of Where the Wild Things Are. I didn't even know they had stuffed animals-now I want them:) I so wish I was a human alarm clock-my internal clock is broken I think-it just never wants to go off;) Could you send some of the "want to exercise" mojo this way?
Blessings~
Marcee- I sent you an email showing you which stuffed toys I have. Here is the link in case anyone else is interested: http://www.amazon.com/Crocodile-Creek-Where-Things-Plush/dp/B000F14D8Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1309016029&sr=1-1
This is Max, the main character. He came with me to the hospital for my 3 day stay, and for the ER visit that followed that. Where the Wild Things Are really has a meaning to me that is close to my heart. Anyway... enough about that.
I can definitely send some exercise motivation your way. I'm sending positive thoughts now. You may also want to check out this link: https://challenge.meyouhealth.com/signup
