Color Meme
With an invitation to participate in this, here is my 'color chart'!!
RED
1. Closest red thing to you: A red poinsettia sitting in a red tissue covered flower pot!
2. Last thing to make you angry: SLOW DRIVERS CUTTING IN FRONT OF ME! Tho, I've never had 'road rage attacks' the inconsiderate drivers tend to throw me into a fizzy!!
3. Do you have a temper: Oops, now when I answerd the above part...about angry/anger, I can't NOT say I don't have a temper could I?
4. Are you a fan of romance: Depends, I like a good love story with a great ending, even if the ending isn't a happy one. In books (i.e., The Thorn Birds), and movies (i.e., Titanic-2004). A woman is entitled to fantasies of course, but in real life, when it comes to romance, I tend to live a life of realism instead of romance...there is MUCH MORE to life than living in a rose colored environment.
ORANGE
1. Closest orange thing to you: In my pen holder here on the desk --I have a pen that is topped with "Mater" from the movie, CARS---surrounding "Mater" is orange feathers.
2. Do you like to burn things: Hubby would think so! I've burned a few dinners in my time! I've learned to really like charred hot dogs cooked on an open fire!! Hmmmmm, wonder if that is why he took over the bbq-ing?!! But to actually burn for enjoyment, good lord no!!
3. Dress up for Halloween: For centuries!!! Afterall, I am one of the orignials of the pair of witches in arms!! The other one? Ya, she's still around too!!!
4. Are you usually a warm-hearted person: Some wouldn't think so, probably. When I talk logic to them or tell them I think otherwise.....but deep down, ya, I can find some warmth lingering here and there.
5. Do you have anything against redheaded people: ROFL!! What kind of question is this? Of course not. I personally think red hair is gorgeous....especially the frosty blond tinted red heads---and their green eyes!!
6. Are you usually full of energy: You betcha!! But, wait....let's back up a bit. At least for my age group. Some 10 year old wouldn't agree with me here. Altho, sometimes the metabolism runs slow....yet, a quick boost with an interest of any kind can get me going again!!!
YELLOW
1. Closest yellow thing: To my left, perched on my printer/scanner is a stuffed bee with little babes in her wings!! Cute!!! Tho, not ALL yellow of course.
2. The happiest time[s] of your life: Who really knows...I've had too many happy times to list. LIFE is happy. 99% of the time for me!!
3. Favorite holiday: I like holidays...I like decorating and creating things for holidays! ---I can't say I have a favorite per se---I like 'em all!! I think my least favorite would be New Year's Eve/New Years---there isn't much to the holiday. Just another year ahead.
4. Are you a coward: With some things. But generally, I can trek forth to the unknown without qualms.
5. Do you burn or tan: Tan if it's a little at a time...but if I'm out in the sun for hours at one time, I burn. By late evening tho, it's all tan again.
GREEN
1. Closest green thing to you: Not much...I have the poinsettia with green leaves, and the flower pot is sitting on a green/white/red silk scarf--how's that for green.
3. Are you jealous of anyone right now: Nah (crossing my fingers so that the lightning bolt doesn't come outta the sky!!) ---At least I don't feel jealous. No, really....it'd be a waste of precious life and time to be green with jealousy!!
4. Are you a lucky person: I have the air in my lungs, and the heart is pumping at a normal rate. I have a wonderful, sweet man growing old by my side. I have a lovely home. Food on the table...YES!! I consider myself VERY lucky indeed.
5. Do you always want what you can't have: Oh, I'd be lying to say I've never wanted a 10k diamond I saw in the jewelry store window, or an Audi--something way out of my league. But, when reality hits, I know I didn't need it. Material things are just that---material. But to answer the question I'd have to say NO I don't always want what I can't have.
6. Do you like being outdoors: Most definitely. I love being anywhere outdoors. Why I don't even mind stepping around in a cattle lot---outdoors is outdoors!! If anyone stays cooped up inside they don't know what they're missing. (Actually there is an advantage too, being outdoors helps build immunities)
7. Are you Irish: Most definitely. Even hubby. Yet there is 'mixed' blood in the genealogy, it's been traced to Northern Ireland to the 1600s
BLUE
1. Closest blue thing to you: My eyes!!
2. Are you good at calming people down: I think it's all up to the individual. A personal thing....they need to work things out by themselves. I was always 'taught' to look out for #1 --me! And when the time arises for anyone to calm down, it's up to the individual. Not anyone but the individual knows what's working inside. So, the answer, no. I think it's the person that needs to work on the calming.
3. Do you like the sea: Love it. I could sit for days, months, watching and listening to the sea. Love the view, love the smell, love all the sea has going for it.
4. What was the last thing that made you cry: A movie. I get so wrapped up in the storylines, I cry along with them.
5. Are you a logical thinker: Well......lordy!! The previous one would show me that I'm not too logical now, would it? Crying while watching movies....But, wait, that was a very logical response, don't you think?
6. Can you sleep easily: Most times, no. I need to read to even get drowsy. Then, I will remain awake thinking. It takes a long time for me to fall into a sound sleep.
PURPLE
1. Last purple thing you saw: The bathroom in the master bath --purple towels and wash cloths.
2. Like being treated to expensive things: Nah, not really. Again, this is more material, and I, unlike Madonna, am NOT a material girl!! In fact, if the computer goes kaputz on me, I'm not too sure I'd get a replacement.
3. Do you like mysterious things: Somewhat. Here again, it depends. The mysteries of my own life are far beyond my comprehension, so I've just given little thought to that lately. Yet a good mysterious phenomenonal new disease or discovery will intrigue me to read up about it. Science is a mystery that astounds me, always. Something in the lines of Agatha Christie type, no.
4. Favorite type of chocolate: Milk chocolate. I don't care for the bitter sweet dark chocolates. I have two faves...Cadbury's chocolate covered caramel and Stover's chocolate turtles (chocolate covered pecans and caramel)
5. Ever met anyone in royalty: No! Unless you'd consider living with myself. I can be a royal pain!! I think it'd be super fantastic to meet England's Royal Family. Even as far back as the 1500's!!!
6. Are you creative:
Most definitely. I love to create with my hands. Art, crafts, music on the piano--no, I no longer have my piano, but I still have my guitar!! Interior designing to MY taste is creative too, I think!
PINK
1. Closest pink thing to you: My kitty...Winston...his cute little pink nose.
2. Do you like sweet things: Candy, yes. Sweet fruits, no...I don't care for the sugary ones--tart is more my style/preference. I like sweet babies too. As long as I can stand back and admire them....having a babe in the house for me to be responsible for these days isn't for me! Oh, and the sweet fragrance of flowers...yes. Overly sweet smelling perfumes and colognes...NO!!! Sweet little puppies and kittens, surely do!! So, to answer the question, a stong definite yes and no.
3. Like play-fighting: Ummmmm, no. I don't care much at all for physical. Give me a good thoughtful debate that involves no arguing but respecting one's thoughts and I'm there!!!
4. Are you sensitive: Sure. To a point. I would look down at myself if I got overly sensitive about some things.
5. Do you like music: Love it!! ALL kinds. I can sit through a 2 hour playing of classical music that would normally put others to sleep---yet, I'm invigorated by it. The only music I still can't appreciate is hip hop and rap. I'll listen to it for a minute or two, then walk away or shut it off.
WHITE
1. Closest white thing to you: The white in the monitor here, as I create the post.
2. Would you say you’re innocent: No. At my age? How could I be? Only if I were in a bubble.....besides, white isn't a color. It's a 'hue'. And I see below -BLACK, it also isn't a color but a 'hue' ---shades of blacks and whites are NEVER on a color wheel --those hues are used to darken and lighten other colors found on the wheel. Ask anyone who works with arts. LOL See, I'm not even close to innocent!!
3. Good at keeping the peace: If there is some unrest, I more than likely walk away and let the other person resolve their own issues. To save my health and blood pressure. No use getting over worked trying to make peace when I know I'm right!!! ROFLMAO (And keeping peace through arguing and such ISN'T considered debates as mentioned above)
4. Do you like to play in the snow: Used to, when I was a kid. Now? Snow is nasty!! I don't like it one bit. ---Maybe in a photograph.
5. Are you afraid of going to the doctors or dentist: Doctors? No, I don't fear 'em --I've so many doctors and specialists the past decade, I feel comfortable with them! Dentists...well, that's a whole 'nother story. To me, dentist is a four letter word!! And I'm not the swearing type...so, tho not afraid---I still avoid!!
BLACK
1. Closest black thing to you: My mouse, it's black...in fact the entire computer is black.
2. Ever enjoy hurting people: Now, that's sadistic!! Of course not. Those kinds should be locked up!!
3. Are you sophisticated or silly: Oh my!--------I don't think I have a sophisticated cell in me! To me, sophistication is being 'stuffy' ---no. I'd much rather have fun with silly!!! Thank you very much!!
4. Would you like to go to space: Most definitely --- NOT!!!
5. Do you have a lot of secrets: *singing* "Listen, do you wanna know a secret---do you promise not to tell-l-l-l---whoa-o-o!" No. No BIG secrets at least. I'm a secret santa this year, but that's not gonna be a secret for long!
6. What is your favorite color: Actually, I have two that I more than likely tend to like as favorites. I can never choose one over the other...dark purple and deep forest green.
7. Does the color you wear affect your mood: Well, if you consider blue jeans a color ---no, I'd not be moody with my wardrobe---I like being comfy, not moody. Give me a pair of blue jeans, or when it's very hot --cut off blue jeans, and I'm me!! roflmao

Now this was a very different and interesting meme...I learned a lot about you my new friend...I did not know you were Irish and all of the interesting things that make You, You!!
Very good post!!
:-D
Hello there! I LOVE memes! I have never seen one like this! I learned so much about you... Care if I play along? *Smile*
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I will bookmark you and come back and spend some time reading yours.
This was a very different meme. I'd be tempted to play if I didn't have so much decorating to get done!
But...what's this about not replacing your computer if it goes out? How will you blog???
Afternoon Wystful1!
What's this about not replacing your PC? I don't want to even think about that....you know you couldn't stay away from your *adoring public* for more than a few days now, could you? LOL..
Great meme...I've learned so much more about you. (not that I didn't like what I previously knew....) you are definitely an interesting lady!
Have a wonderful day,
Carol
OMG!!! This meme was too good!! I loved reading it! I have that exact Mater pen you are talking about--Well actually it's for my 3 yr old..lol.
thanks for stopping by my blog, and for the words of encouragement. Stop back by anytime :)

I filled this out today too... again, it's in drafts right now. (not sure when it's going up -- I've done too many lately!) But you are going to be sO amazed at how many VERRRRRRRY similar answers you and I have! Boy Howdy!!! We're like two little peas in a pod! LOL!
I've seen this meme on a few sites and it's a fun read.
I just have to comment on a few of them:
- You don't think you are warm-hearted? From what I know of you in the blog world, I respectfully disagree!
- New Years - I agree. I can actually say I kinda dislike New Years. A lot of hype about nothing. I think I've had some disappointing New Years in the past and maybe that's why I feel this way. Not sure.
- I agree with you about material things. I think as you age this becomes more prominent, no?
- I agree that being outdoors builds immunities. Since I started outdoor running a few years ago I rarely get sick (touch wood) and really this is the only change in my lifestyle that I can attribute it to.
- how fortunate you live by the sea because you love it so much. I do too!
- hold on here - if the computer goes kaputz on you you're not sure you'd get a replacement. How would you blog? No way, were not gonna stand for that. That's not a material thing that's a necessity!! hee hee
-I'm not big on hip hop and rap either but since my son is an aspiring musician, I tend to listen to his songs and it starts to grow on me a bit. Only his though! ~ hee I love classical music - Mozart, Handel, Strauss and he does too.
I may have to do this meme one day!
