This week's questions:

Have you ever had a blog slump?

YES! For the past few months I think that has been my new address: 202 Slump Street, Blogslumpville, Same Ol' Slump, USA.

What's your favorite way to serve hot chocolate (cocoa)? Marshmallows on top? Whipped Cream? A cinnamon stick?

I love hot chocolate with the little marshmallows, lots of little marshmallows.

How do you handle it when you see someone you think you know, but cannot place? Do you approach them and ask, shy away, or just go home and hope you don't think of it at 2am?

I generally go ahead and let them know that, although I should remember their name, that I don't at that moment. Old lady brain and all that you know. I'm better at remembering faces than I am at remembering most names.

What was your position in your family? Were you the oldest, a middle child, the youngest or an only child?

I am the oldest and also the runt of the litter. Between August 1965 and July 1968, my mama had four babies. There are twin boys sandwiched between me and my baby sister.

How do you handle accumulated possessions (stuff)? Are you a pack-rat, a minimalist, or somewhere in between?

Pack-rat, definitely a pack-rat, at least when it comes to things like books and magazines, beads, and yarn. You never know what you might need later. I know why I am the way that I am. One never knows what financial turn is ahead and maybe a person would no longer have the resources to be able to buy these things in the future. Besides, with the books and magazines especially, in another year or two I won't remember that I read it so it will be a brand new book all over again. (It might not even take THAT long for me to forget that I've already read it!)
