In EFM this week, our question was, “If you were a color, what would you be?” So that’s where this Friday Five comes from, at least its jumping off place.

1. If you were a color, what would you be?
I’d be blue-hoo-hoo, blue-hoo-hoo, blue-hoo-hoo-HOooooo! (Sorry! Gratuitious Veggie Tales Reference!)

2. If you were a flower (or plant), what would you be?
No question. I would be a rose. A beauty with thorns.

3. If you were an animal, what kind would you be?
A cat. Probably because the idea of sleeping 20 hours a day appeals… and because we’re a 3-cat household. I don’t think I could be anything else.

4. If you were a shoe, what type would you be? I’d like to say a pair of Birkenstock sandals, muddy from the back yard… but I don’t want to horrify my daughter. Probably I’d be a pair of my Rocket Dogs flats because they go anywhere, work with just about anything outside of formal wear, and still look great. I love Rocket Dogs! I can find them for a reasonable price at DSW, and they don’t hurt my feet!! I’ve been eying these beauties and are waiting for the price to come down.

5. If you were a typeface, which font would you be?
Something that is not regular and regimented, but is still readable. Probably something sans serif and as far from Times New Roman as I can get and still be considered “professional.”

Bonus: Anything connected with metaphors that you’d like to contribute.
Well, you might have noticed that my blog is “An Unfinished Symphony” — the title and reason are a metaphor in themselves!

Life is an unfinished symphony. God holds the score in His Hands. Sometimes my life is a cymbal crash, and sometimes it is pages of counting rests. But always, He is the Conductor. (…and I hear the Coda He’s written is out of this world!)
