Question 17 - Holiday Q&A
On a scale from one to ten, how adventurous are you?
How low can you go?
Carmen: a negative twelve. And I'm married to a man who is a positive fifty-three.
MoMMY: What is the negative scale?
Karen: Lord, about a -55. I consider it an adventure to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night in the dark.
1 to 2
Sabrina: 2-- Not adventurous at all.
Sour Duck: 2.
Ann Douglas: One. I am always able to see the worst case scenarios associated with anything in which person a, so I am a bit of a nervous Nellie—except when it comes to the world of business. I am very entrepreneurial when it comes to forging new paths in my career.
Colin: Adventure is a concept I am not familiar with... 2
Jen Lawrence: About a two. And that's just because I like spicy food.
Desperate To Be A Housewife: I get nauseous on planes, boats, cars and at 3D movies...adventurous? Not so much.
Jenny: I'm like, maybe, 2 or 3.
3 to 4
Elisa Camahort: 3
Busy Mom: Perhaps a 4, I'm more the cautious type, but it depends on what the adventure is.
Jordana: Not very adventurous -- maybe a three. I do well on adventures, but have to be dragged kicking and screaming to set out on them.
5 to 6
Dawn: Depends. I am brave, but not fearless. Cities freak me out a bit, having grown up in small towns, but I can overcome as long as I know where I am going. I say I am a 6.
Graceful: I'm only about a 5. I am pretty calm and a homebody
Jory: I'm more mentally adventurous than physically. In terms of mental/emotional adventure I'm a 10, but hell if I'd ever jump out of an airplane, which pushes me back to a 6.5
EverydaySuperGoddess: Not very. Maybe a 5.
Beth: Compared to who? Compared to my husband - 42. Compared to most people, maybe a 5."
Ms. Jen: Six. I love to try food, but I hate to try anything that involves heights. I frequently travel, go out to see bands play, and eat by myself.
Eulallia: I will usually try anything once, just to see what it's like, but I don't go looking for wild adventures... so I'll give myself a 6.
mazeway: Well hell, that's vague. I'm not going to Columbia on vacation, but I've eaten bear. I wear flowered pink Doc Martens, but I have no tatoos. I'm well aquainted with Good Vibrations, but some areas are Off Limits. So, 5, I guess.
Lauren: I would still put myself at a 6. I'll try all kinds of new things,
but I have limits.
Allison: Maybe a 4? Oh, wait, at least a 6. I do have three children that I homeschool.
Meghan: 6
Sleeping Mommy: That's a trick question. Depends on how drunk or angry I am. Stick me in the middle with a 5 because in my right mind I'm pretty cautious about thinking out consequences.
Kris: A 6. On a good day, a 6 ½.
Kathyrn, the daring one: 6 - The conservatively-Daring Young Mom
7 to 8
Melanie Lynne Hauser: Eight
Jenijen: 8
Clickmom: 8
Pamalamadingdong: 8 --- I just opened a restaurant AND I've had sex outdoors in the last 6 months.
Lucinda: 8.
Jenn: I agreed to answer these, so I would say 8
Amber: I know it's all relative but I would put me up there on 8
Wahoo!
Charity: 10
hadashi: again. "this one goes to eleven." actually, i go to twelve. when can i go bungee jumping again? skydiving? please?
Just Dawn: I am a "will try anything once" type of gal. Twice if I like it!!
Tonya: I am off the scale, at least a 15.
Erin: How high can I go after ten?
Jelly: 10. i ate gator last month, dammit!
I've slowed down a bit.
DaniGirl: Before kids, a seven. Now, a two
Holli: I used to be a ten. I'm on the slow decline. I think that's why I'm still alive.
Justice: not anymore so adventurous since I became a mom.
Depends on the situation.
Emily G: Depends on the situation. At home, something like a 5. Traveling, something like a 9. I do some crazy stuff while I travel.
Susan: Are we talking jump-out-of-an-airplane adventurous or spend-a-whole-summer-without-child-care adventurous? No skydiving for me, but I get a ten for going babysitter-free all last summer.
Sleepless Mama: Oh, I don't know. Depends on the situation, I guess. I was adventurous enough to move six states away from everyone I've ever known, fully aware that I'd be gone for five years. On the other hand, I was never brave enough to ride the Texas Cyclone at Astroworld, the world-renowned wooden roller coaster. So put me in at about six.
Baseballmom: Depends, I am really adventurous when it comes to camping, etc. but to like, travel to a different country? No way.
la Mala: Depends about what. I really am not a nature person but in terms of trying new things I'm pretty carefree.

Adventurous? Not very, I'm afraid. I wish I had the guts to be so.

I'm pretty adventeruous when it comes to things that interest me. Unfortunately, in my SAHM life, not enough adventuresome opportunites (that I find compelling) actually present themselves.
