The next two questions from the Journal Jar:

If you could be a flower, what would you be and why?
I would be a poppy. Their color is gorgeous, they're cheerful to look upon and they show up in the most unexpected places.
Between the age of 5 & 10, what was your favorite activity?
The best thing in the world was to play on a swing. This was fun to do with friends but I enjoyed it the most when I was alone. I never had my own but our next-door neighbor who was my Godmother had a swing set for her daughter and I spent many an hour swinging away and singing with great gusto the entire time.
I enjoyed this pastime so much that I took myself back to my old grade school the day before I got married and indulged myself in a good swing. I think I was saying farewell to my childhood once and for all; a form of closure you might say. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered as an adult with a small child of my own that swinging for any longer than a brief time made me feel quite queasy. It would take me several days to feel "right" again. Oh, traitorous gastric system!

That's funny about swings making you feel motion sick as an adult. The exact same thing happens to me! I find it highly annoying. Lisa :-]
