1. Are you pleasant when you're ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient? Hmmm...I'll give you MY answer, but I suppose my DH and my kids know best. I would say I'm fairly quiet when I'm ill. I really like to be left alone and just "veg". BUT, I know that I can also be whiny when I'm ill. I don't think I get grumpy--although cranky (which seems a little lower down the grumpy/fussy continuum) might be a good word.
2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction? This is a very interesting question for a Floridian. First of all, I have lived here for 42 years and I think school has been cancelled about a total of four days in that time---and all of THOSE days happened in the last 5 years! Secondly, if we have a cancellation, it's generally because we're getting ready to be pounded by a hurricane...so that brings with it a bit of anxiety. Honestly I can remember one or two times where I've thought, "It'll be nice to sleep in tomorrow..."
3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve? Keeping my kitchen counter clear and spotless.
4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine's Day? Nope.
5. What song is on your mind today? Mark Schulz, "He's my Son".
6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic? It depends. There's a time for both.
7. How well do you "compartmentalize" your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room. Nope. I have an awful time with this. I can usually remember stuff from days, weeks, or months ago that sometimes impact my reactions to a situation or a person. I work on it. I am no where near where I need to be in this department, however.
8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you're single, to your best friend.) His smile and love for God.
9. When was the last time your heart raced? Wow! I can't remember. Perhaps it was a few weeks ago when I was mad and scared all at once.
10. What are your memories of Valentine's Day at school? We always made our own "mailbox" and then delivered the little cards to friends on that day. It was usually accompanied by some treats and a movie (reel-to-reel in my day). This is one tradition that hasn't changed all that much (except, of course, the movie projector).
11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine's Day, which would you prefer? I really would prefer to NOT receive candy for V-day. BUT, if I did, I'd love almond M&Ms---they don't even have to be pink, red and white.
12. Red or pink? I think I prefer red most days.

Read your comment on Leigh Ann's blog and had to come see where you are from. LOL, you need to come play in the snow. I'm from Michigan and we have plenty to share with you.
Love the look of your blog!! Did you design it?
Your meme is fun. I may have to snag it to add to my blog for Valentines.
I'd be late too, but I need to make sure I answer these this week. They are great questions and tons of fun!! And the weather question is so cool since we are off work today due to snow (in Texas). We've got about 3 inches so far and it hasn't stopped falling. Have a wonderful day!!
I came over here to find an editorial you printed re. the Tebow commercials- read it at Chatty Kelly's, but then I started reading your answers to the Random 12 and when I read the answer to the one about the song "Mark Schultz, He's my son" I thought Mark Schultz was YOUR son and I was like: hey, I'm about to be the newest follower of Mark Schultz's mom- Wow! I get it now, but yeah, this is kinda typical for me, sadly.
Love your blog design btw. I'm off to find the editorial now.

May your hands always be busy. May your feet always be swift. May you have a strong foundation. When the winds of changes shift. May your heart always be joyful. And may your song always be sung. May you stay forever young.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
One of my best friend's moved from Germany to Florida (her husband is in the Air Force) last year and she is loving all the sunny, warm weather! Such a change from Germany.
I love almond m&m's too, one of my favorites. Or just good old chocolate covered almonds are good too. I always feel a little healthier when I eat them because I figure the almonds are good for you, right?
Good answers!
