Tuesday, February 5, 2008 - I stole from Emily!!!

Okay, this is an idea I stole from Emily over at thelearningneverstops.  Sorry, I'd give you a link, but I don't know how to do that!! Sad, I know, truly pathetic!  But I think Laura over at duckygirl stole it too......so I feel good about this type of thievery!  Here it is:

If I were a pair of shoes, I'd be a nice pair of brown boots.  Understated style and not flamboyant enough to draw attention to myself!

If I were a city, I'd be Leavenworth, WA.  Beautiful, fun, yet peaceful and secluded too.

If I were a season, I'd definitely be autumn.  You never know what is going to meet your eyes when you look out the window around here in the fall.  Fall is my favorite season because it is deep and beautiful and changeable.

If I were a car, I'd be a 15-seater van, so that I leave room for all of those babies I pray and pray that God will bless us with!

If I were a vegetable, I'd be a cucumber.  Cool, crisp and refreshing.

If I were a fruit, I'd be a strawberry.  Always my favorite fruit, sweet yet a little tart and juicy.  One taste brings back many good memories for me.

If I were a color, I'd be peach.  My favorite.  Calm and serene.  Soft and silent.  My highest aspirations.

If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be a leather couch.  Again, stylish, understatedly elegant, but very comfortable and a notch above the ordinary.

If I were a song, I'd be "All By Myself" sung by Celine Dion.  I so identify with this song that every time I hear her sing it I cry! I don't WANT to be all by myself.  My place of choice is right here, in this house, with this very family and my husband home every day.

If I were a country, I'd be France.  This country is intriguing to me, and I've always thought it was so variable, with city, country and mountains right there, and cafes, bistros, boulangeries, avenues, perfumeries, all fun to explore and you can go from elegant to a country picnic.  I speak the language a bit, so let's go!!!! But let's go where there are no snooty people!!

If I were a drink, I'd be Decaf coffee with hazelnut creamer.  My favorite, and every time I take a sip I smile because it's so comfortable and cozy to me.  I could sit on my leather couch (that I don't have~!) and sip a big cup of that all day!!

If I were an article of clothing, I'd be a good fitting pink sweater.  A cozy, trusted, softly woven sweater, maybe a cashmere blend, which I have never had the privilege of owning in my whole life! Comfort, peace and contentment.

If I were the weather, I'd be a sunny, clear sky day, about 78 degrees, with a slight, cleansing breeze blowing.  I always sense the Lord very strongly on these days, especially when I can hear my windchime's sparkling tones laugh gently on the wind.  When do YOU hear the Lord speak??

If I were an animal, I'd be a bird.  Do creatures of the air qualify in the animal category?? I've always wanted to fly, it looks so free and majestic to me!

If I were a dessert, I'd be a bowl of peach crisp.  This is my favorite dessert, actually, anything with peaches is my choice! A warm bowl of comfort and happiness!

If I were a plant, I'd be a sunflower.  These are my favorite flowers, and their nodding heads of radiant sunlight always renew my spirit.  I plant them outside in the front yard and it always brings me happiness to see their smiling faces.

If I were a word, I'd be loyal.  My husband has always said that one of my best qualities is loyalty.  Once you have proven yourself to me, you're in.

Come on! join the fun by posting this on your blog!! I'm curious to know what Marsha would pick for herself, as well as both of the Gayles!!!
