You make it look so easy, but I'd be fiddling around with one for hours. How long did it take you to whip that one up? <i>SAJ says: It did take me a bit of time and I'm not 100% happy with it but it's okay. Sometimes I like illos that are a little fast and rough on the angles and shadowing etc... I think it took me about an hour. But I really don't know because when I get in the zone I have absolutely no concept of time. Regarding the compliments, I could say the same about you and coding. I'm sooooo jealous of your coding skills.</i> I sooo love your illustrations and that one is totally great. You make it look so easy, but I’d be fiddling around with one for hours.

I'm so used to making do with what we have (because it's paid for!), or simply pining over having <i>more</i> space, that the idea of having my ideal is too much to fathom. More than one bathroom, plenty of closet space, more land (for gardening and privacy) and a nice view (ocean or mountains, both are great) would be plenty. OK, while we're at it, let's have more garage space, a second "living area" (family room, whatever, so that the kids--mine are teens--can have a space to entertain friends without parents breathing down their necks), DSL, and a pool (unless a nearby lake or ocean suffices). And now that I've lived in the arid west (grew up in New England), I'm a wuss with humidity, so it would have to be dry or else always have a cool breeze. Better stop thinking about all the possibilities or I'll ask for the moon. 2) I adore brownies! Chewy, gooey, chocolatey not-too-sweet goodness. With or without nuts, it matters not. Preferably warm with ice cream on top. But if I had to choose one or the other (what a cruel question!), it would be soooo hard. I'm not one to eat ice cream very often, but I gotta concur with Kuky--so many possibilities when it comes to ice cream. And I've had some bad brownies (too dry, burned, crumbly). Suffice it to say, that if I were blindfolded and went "eenie, meanie, miney, moe... " I'd be happy either way. :) 3) Set the alarm, if it's a week-night. Then once I'm it bed, I snap my night-guard into my mouth and set the TV timer. 4) I'm ignorant about fine art and can't name many artists, so this isn't a good question for me. I'd need a good art appreciation class before I could answer that honestly. Plus, there are so many different kinds of art--music, photography, sculpture, architecture, fashion are all art, too (not to mention body art, performance art, literature...). At the risk of sounding corny, I'll say "mother nature." I love photographs of nature, flowers, earth and sky best of all. 5) I'm with SAJ--really don't care for either, and haven't had either in years! I take that back; my daughter let me taste a couple jelly beans she'd bought at the "Candy Jar" at the mall a few weeks ago (buttered popcorn and jalapeno, iirc). But I do like football (I actually won the football pool at work--weekly winner something like 4 times and overall winner to boot!) and jalapeno cheese dip if that counts for anything. I don't have a real blog (I'd like to, but spend too much time reading others' blogs and posting to message boards), however I participated in this at my sister's blog (http://melstra.livejournal.com/) a few days ago. 1) Ideal?

I am so excited I get to play! I don't have a blog so I never get to do these. :-) 1. My husband and I have given a lot of thought over the years to our perfect living space, because we're a Navy family and have lived in lots of different houses. Right now we live in a two-story house and it just doesn't work for me. So I think what I would want is a one-level house with a fairly open floor plan and a fireplace somewhere and built-in bookcases in various places. And I'd love to live in an old city neighborhood with huge trees. 2. Pfft, no contest--brownies. I don't really like ice cream all that much either. I mean, I like it, but if you give me a choice between almost any other sweet and ice cream, I will take the other. 3. Check on my daughter and give her another good-night kiss. 4. My favorite right now is Normal Rockwell. I also love folk art of all different kinds. 5. I think Jelly Bellies are fun because of all the different flavors you can play with, but after I eat about ten of them I'm done. However, I can go through an entire movie-theater package of Twizzlers all by myself in about ten minutes. I also love Peeps and eat the creamy center out of Cadbury Creme Eggs and think cherry sour balls are one of the best things on earth.
