Ten on Tuesday

Even though it's late in the evening, I still wanted to get around to doing my Ten on Tuesday. This is Chelsea's 40th week of posting Ten on Tuesdays.

1. How do you take your coffee on an average day? How do you like your coffee if you are splurging?
I prefer to drink my coffee with just a splash of cream, nothing else. Even if I spend a little more money on coffee somewhere, I might order a vanilla spice latte.

2. What is your genre of books to read?
Autobiographies. It's like being a people watcher through books.

3. Where do you want to retire if you could go anywhere?
If I had the luxury of retiring anywhere, it would be Lanikai, Hawaii.

4. The 17 year old you is told to write a 10-minute speech. What topic would you have picked?
Wow, back then I probably would have talked about peer-pressure.

5. What word describes you best.
Optimistic

6. What is the next event you are looking forward to?
Family vacation in a few weeks.

7. Do you like to discuss controversial topics or do you prefer to avoid those type of conversations?
There is a time and a place to discuss controversial topics. That being said, I do enjoy talking about politics, money and world issues. The key is respecting that someone can have a different opinion than you.

8. Would you rather add 4 free hours to each day or add 1 extra day to the week?
1 extra day to the week, that way we could have a three day weekend.

9. If you created a sports team, what would your colors and mascot be?
My husband would do a better job at answering this question. I suppose blue and while and the mascot would be a mustang. Those are the colors of my high school and the mascot, see I'm not good at this question.

10. If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach?
Government. Growing up, I loved English and thought about it for awhile, but I don't think students know enough about Government as they should.
