Friday 5

Getaways

1. What’s something that recently got away?

My center. My core sense of optimism.

2. Where do you go when you need to get away?

Where I really feel I need to go, and soon, is just about anywhere, alone, sans computer, books, or other amnesia producing devices so I can THINK.

3. What’s your getaway line when someone’s giving you unwelcome attention?

At work, it's something along the line of "I think the printer needs paper." Otherwise, I just ignore them. An incredulous "Ex-CUSE me?" is also helpful, and physically moving away.

4. What’s something you recently got away with?

Ignoring Cat Lady at work today as she petted the guinea pig puppet in need of cataloging for the two-millionth time. I have to get that thing off my desk!!

Oh, and I got to hold a brand-new baby today and walk him to sleep. Can I please be a newborn again? What a freakin' GREAT life!

5. Who’s got a way of making you smile even when you think you don’t want to?

Beast and Sparky. And any tiny sleeping baby.
