The technical aspect of figuring out the measurements to make the pieces seamlessly interlock, challenges the mind. Being able to make a mental vision become a reality is also very gratifying.grumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343685906689924031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-78016897554993343572011-01-11T12:31:00.935-05:002011-01-11T12:31:00.935-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.nsandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147704642324141056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-27805652530526196432011-01-11T12:30:26.351-05:002011-01-11T12:30:26.351-05:00Laughter, Quirkiness, Music, Creating. These are m...Laughter, Quirkiness, Music, Creating. These are my turn-ons. The best thing about them is that there are a number of ways in which I can receive my fix. <br /><br />Making my wife laugh till she is wiping tears from her eyes, glancing at each other biting our lips as we listen to another one of our daughters life thoughts or our son headbutting everything in site. <br /><br />Things that make people unique or doing things that other people might find embarrassing I find interesting. Being uninhibited without being out of control. <br /><br />Of course music turns me on and often times I use it to turn me off. There is music for every occasion and it is a passion of mine. I think I delve into as much music as I can because I regret never picking up an instrument and learn to play. I have no music biases and love to talk about music to anyone who listens (as you know, even though time constraints have hindered this lately.)<br /><br />My other passion is creativity and creating memories and art any new way I can find. Whether its drawing/sketching, graphic design, or photography I love visual art and could spend countless hours looking through photos and logo designs and advertisements. I've been privileged enough lately to be acknowledged and compensated for my photography, something I never thought could happen. I am trying to be careful however because I have often burned out with my creativeness when I am obligated to get things created as opposed to being able to do it casually. <br /><br />Recently, I have noticed my daughter Emmma becoming a very good little artist and I love thinking that she has some of my passion for creating. (She also follows in my footsteps in the fine art of being a smart ass.)<br /><br />I think this is a great topic, as I recently hit a milestone birthday and have been reflecting more on where I'm at and where I want to be and this helps bring out some of the good things. Thanks,<br /><br />oh, and when my wife wears pigtails in her hair it turns me on. :)nsandersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147704642324141056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-83570333881140863582011-01-11T10:26:47.282-05:002011-01-11T10:26:47.282-05:00The first thing that came to mind was the thought ...The first thing that came to mind was the thought of a color fan deck. You know those HUGE skinny "books" that decorators carry around with all the color chips in it? That thing makes me absolutely giddy. To me there are infinite possibilities in that thing. I enjoy decorating, although I have no delusions that I'm proficient. Most of my ideas get stolen from other designers then tweaked to suit our needs. But the process of planning, shopping, placing, finishing and enjoying the final project is exciting. Unfortunately, for my husband, I also get bored very quickly with my surroundings and if the budget allowed, I would have already redone my kitchen, family room and the kids bonus room. ;) Not to mention repaint all of the entryway, downstairs hallway, the stairway and the upstairs hallways!! Whew! Hmm... where IS my fan deck anyway? (btw, we've only been in our house for 6 years).<br /><br />Similar to decorating. Purging and organizing a pantry, dresser or closet. I even get excited when I hear that others have done it for themselves! It is a sickness, I think. LOL! After completing a project like that I feel like I've lost weight and that sense of "aaaahhh". Just thinking about it is motivating me to get to my closet to get it straightened up. The beautiful line of shoes by color & season, the clothes hanging by type and color. Work of art, my friend! <br /><br />Completing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer weekends, whether I'm walking or crewing. There is such a sense of accomplishment that comes when crossing the finish line after almost 40 miles and wiping away the last of the tears when closing ceremonies are done. I immediately look to the next year and the possibilities and while the weekends are a bonding experience with other women for the same cause, I hope eventually we'll just walk in celebration of finding a cure.<br /><br />This sounds totally silly, but Randy & the Professor... I have saved several podcasts, so if I need a lift or pick me up or just need some R&P, I listen and I feel better.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-12285341639555569302011-01-11T07:59:16.615-05:002011-01-11T07:59:16.615-05:00Oh, and cultivating my online relationships!Oh, and cultivating my online relationships!Chief 187https://www.blogger.com/profile/09485730643132355212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-19394079698313532992011-01-11T07:38:56.576-05:002011-01-11T07:38:56.576-05:00Great responses, Gentlemen!

Thank you, Racer, I am touched to my core. xoxox<br /><br />Add to my list things I forgot at 5 in the morning: Jewelry (a lifelong passion), music, theater (especially musicals), Hallmark Keepsake ornaments, Christmas, and Barbie Dolls.

Things that make me go "Oh yeah"...Well... Things that make me go "Oh yeah" include good coffee, good book, interesting music. Used to be playing guitar, and once in a long while I pick it up and have a bit of fun but it doesn't captivate me the way it once did. <br /><br />Bikes - mainly bicycles - hold my fascination. Taking parts and building one up is a Zen-like activity. Riding I enjoy, sometimes long road rides, sometimes dirt trail adventuring, sometimes a wuick jaunt. And recently I found I like racing. <br /><br />My family is a big source of rejuvinating energy. Hanging out with my boys, plaing with the grandkids. My beautiful bride also. After 20+ years together it feel like we are once again becoming the giddy kids we used to be sometimes. She is fantastic.J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13723460232714270509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-4550821825286542352011-01-11T06:04:54.667-05:002011-01-11T06:04:54.667-05:00YOU... turn me on.
The way that you write, handle...YOU... turn me on.<br /><br />The way that you write, handle our children, clean the house, read a book, glance over a magazine, do the dishes, shovel snow, drive a car, make a phone call, stand at the bus-stop, talk to me, watch TV, teach our children, heck - teach anyone's children, write a blog, answer an email, and myriad other things that you do... turn me on.<br /><br />Oh yeah... and driving a racecar. That turns me on, too.Racer187https://www.blogger.com/profile/06425831517476971653noreply@blogger.com
