P.S. This might be a long one. Please bear with me...
Six: What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced?
I would be lying if I didn't say that my mom's death wasn't the hardest thing I've ever experienced. There's no need to go into detail about it, since I frequently write about it on this blog. I will say this, though: I believe that out of bad comes good, and I believe there was good that came from such a tragedy.
Seven: What is your dream job, and why?
This is such a timely question for me right now since I have been doing some soul-searching on this topic. I feel like so many things could be my dream job. I love to write, because it's a great way to express your feelings and get your point across without fear of interruption. It's also a wonderful outlet to create new worlds to travel to within your mind. On the other hand, I've always loved fashion and think it would be awesome to be a fashion merchandiser or buyer - though I have no classical training in this field whatsoever. And on the third imaginary hand, I would still love to work in the field of psychology, possibly as a family therapist. So basically my answer is, "I have no freaking clue." Try looking for that one in the classifieds!
Eight: What are 5 passions you have?
- I am passionate about my family.
- I am passionate about my home and making it "homey" and an inviting place for family and friends.
- I am passionate about my friendships.
- I am passionate about documenting our lives through pictures and written histories, like this blog.
- I am passionate about learning about history, including my own.
Nine: List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
- My dad has influenced me to work hard to support your family (not only financially but through actions as well), be frugal, and enjoy the small things in life.
- My mom influenced me to follow my dreams, pursue my education, read, and put your children first.
- Harry has influenced me to never settle for less than you deserve.
- Samantha and Michael have influenced/taught me what unconditional love is.
- Mrs. Kelly influenced me to never stop learning. Also, to play nice with others.
- Professor K influenced me to have a "just in case" file - also to remember that every day above the ground is better than being under it. (She was my professor in my "Sociology of Death and Dying" class, in case you were wondering).
- People reading this blog have influenced me to keep writing it.
- Bella influenced me to put a border fence up around the garden. Bella is one of my dogs.
- All of my friends influence me to be a better person, while always being myself.
- The Homeowners Association influences me (and Harry) to cut our yard and weed the flower bed.
Ten: Describe your most embarrassing moment.
Um, yeah, that's probably gonna be the banana-peel slip whilst in the middle of a kick line at state cheerleading. Yes, the one you read about in Three, Four. Yes, I do have it on videotape. No, you may not see it.
Eleven: Describe 10 pet peeves you have.
- People who don't signal while driving
- Poor grammar and also the use of "text" lingo in actual letters and/or emails
- Tampon commercials
- I HATE when people misspell things to be cute. Example: daycares called Kids' Korner. Yeah, I'm not sending a kid somewhere that can't even spell it's own name. It's not cute. It's stupid.
- When the weather forecast is wrong - I'm looking at you, Weather Channel!
- People who don't leash their dogs
- Generic brand Cheetos or Doritos
- People who interrupt my Desperate Housewives time, although that has apparently come to an end...
- Couples that share Facebook or email accounts and/or cell phones (even when they have their own cell phones)
- People who can't figure out a 4-way stop
By the way, I asked Harry to help me out with "Eleven" and he said, "most of your pet peeves have to do with traffic, weather, and grammar." He knows me all too well...
