It's better to know the truth and beware than believe a lie and not care.

Do you keep the TV on just for background noise?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

Right now, I have the TV on because I'm alone and I don't like being in silence when it's dark outside. Yes, it's silly - I know. :-) I keep the TV on as "background noise" like this from time to time, but I'm trying to break...

Do you have an office job?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

I have had office jobs in the past, but I never really liked them that much. I didn't like that feeling of confinement because I didn't have any windows. I work in a home office now and, from time to time, I work on my couch in my...

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

Lately, I've been working every weekend just to make ends meet. I don't work full days some weekends, so I'm able to take a bit of a break. I'm afraid of the economy, though. So, I'm working this weekend. Are you working this...

Name something you can do tomorrow to make yourself happy.

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

It seems pretty simple, right? It's more difficult that you think. Not only is coming up with something that you can do that will make you happy a challenge, but following through with it is another challenge. Are you up for this...

How many articles or blog posts do you write each day?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

I tend to write a lot in one day, but that's mainly because the topics (for the most part) are provided by my various employers. The most I've written in one day ... hmmm ... I think it was twelve short articles (300-500 words...

How many times have you seen The Notebook?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

I'm absolutely in love with this movie and have seen it so many times I've lost count. I love the book, too, but that's a different story. What is it about this movie that you love? How many times have you seen The Notebook?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

Do you feel like you're getting enough sleep at night? Are you dragging through your day, or do you feel rested? Lately, no matter how much sleep I get, I'm still exhausted throughout most of the day.

Do your kids have chores?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

We don't like using the word "chore" because we believe it holds a negative connotation. We prefer to call what they do their responsibilities, or part of their routines. So, when people see what they do around the house and ask...

What is your favorite kind of cake?

explorations @explorations (1712) • United States 30 Jan 09

My nephew won't eat anything aside from ice cream cake, but I don't care for that very much. My fiance loves chocolate cake, and my kids love ... cake. :-) As long as it's cake, it's good to them! My favorite is jell-o...

Today, we're moving in a troubled teen and I'm worried she's going to have a hard time adjusting. She's been moved around quite a bit in her life, but it looks like she'll be with us for at least two years. I want to make things...
