A little bit of me being me

I found this in blog world today and it got me thinking...How would you answer these questions?

If I were a day of the week, I'd be Saturday--sometimes lazy, sometimes productive

If I were a time of day, I'd be 11:33. I don't know why.

If I were a direction, I'd be "East." I miss it over there.

If I were a tree, I'd be a Sugar Maple.

If I were a tool, I'd be a pottery wheel.

If I were a flower, I'd be a peony.
The pretty pink one in the middle. This is Amelia Lyon's photo of my wedding bouquet.

If I were a musical instrument, I'd be a rain stick.



If I were a color, I'd be green.

If I were a fruit, I'd be a mango.

If I were an element, I'd be earth.

If I were a food, I'd be a turkey and bacon sandwich with sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and avocado.

If I were a place, I'd be a library.

If I were a material, I'd be glass.

If I were a scent, I'd would smell of gardenia.

If I were an object, I'd be a worn but well loved book.

If I were a song, I'd be Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallulujah (current obession).

After snooping the original posting, I thought "I have no idea how I would answer those questions," but when I sat down to write my responses, I was really surprised how easily and quickly the answers came to me. Try it out for yourself.

Hey mel, I am going to call you back eventually. My mom just fell down the stairs and tore her Acl and some other ligaments so I've been busy being mom to my family and to my parents and sisters. So I'm sorry I haven't called you back yet.

I once heard that if you ask a person what kind of Fish, Bird, Animal and Insect they would be, you would learn a lot about them.
Your list seems very good for that too. Here let me try a couple:
• If I were an animal I'd be a Kodiak Brown Bear or maybe a circus bear. Either would be fun.
• If I were a house, I’d be a log cabin with a big stone fireplace.
• If I were a tree, I would be a mighty Redwood. So I could see and enjoy the whole forest.
• If I were a bird, it would be a high soaring eagle, one that could easily get above the hustle and bustle.
• If I were a marble, I would be a lost one. You know lost my marbles, hehe
• If I were a nut, Oops, I guess I am one (hehehe)
U R soooo sweet Melzie. I just love the way you think. Thx for brighten my day.

Hi, Melz
I just love you so much, if you want a polaroid camera, you have
one from me. I,ll box it up and its on its way. I might even check for some film. Can you REALLY still buy it?? So let me
know if you have already gotten one or not.
I think of you guys everyday and hope you are doing fine.
Love you, Gramma Swank
