You know, I don't know if I really idolize anyone. I definitely don't idolize celebrities, never have. I remember in grade school when my friend insisted I had to tell which New Kid on the Block was my favorite, and I really couldn't as I could care less about them (I don't even think I knew all of their names). I think there are people I am amazed by and would love to follow their examples, but wouldn't say I idolize them.
What is something you are really proud of that you have accomplished?
Being a mother to my kids, I don't always do it perfectly, okay check that, I never do it perfectly, but I try and most of the time I love it and to see their success and the good kids they are, it makes me proud. Oh and I hope to add writing and getting my book published to this list sometime this year!
What is something you are not so proud of?
The times when I have unintentionally offended someone and the times that I have put others things before what matters most.
Who was your best friend when you were 5, 6 or 7- tell something about them.
My best friend at that age was my friend Jill, I have actually blogged about her here.

Well not a still do but still have-- a flat stomach. I think short of a tummy tuck and it will never be like it was before I had babies.
If you could choose what would be your last meal?
I would have a hard time picking one thing, so how about a super fancy buffet where I can just pick and choose everything I want. I know what a cheap answer, but it is true, I LOVE buffets!
What are two or three jobs that you have liked?
I really haven't had that many jobs in my life; I like being a photographer. I enjoyed my data entry job- I worked for a small company that was making physical catalogs into on-line catalogs (yes that dates me and I bet that company doesn't exist anymore), and I have a love/hate relationship with my job as a foster care worker.
What is one job that you did not like?
Probably my job as a foster care worker. It was my first real job out of college, and it felt good to help people, but it was also horrible and horrific the things I saw and the people I had to deal with (both clients and other agencies).
What is your least favorite chore around your house?
Putting laundry away! My bedroom floor can attest to that. I do have cute laundry room decor at least... but still doesn't make me want to put the clothes away.

I am 5'5" (barely probably more like 5'4 1/2") and most of the time I am just fine with it. My husband is 6'8" and so while you think that would make me feel short, it has actually had just the opposite effect and I think I am taller than I actually am. I wouldn't mind being a few inches taller.
What is one of your favorite quotes on love, life or motherhood (choose one)?
Do you have a favorite quote? What would you eat for your last meal? I would love to know!
I like these questions. My last meal would be a really good gnocchi with pesto, a great glass of Reisling, and creme brulee. Love that food.
ReplyDeleteOkay that sounds really good! I love gnocchi! Though hold the wine for since I don’t drink :)
DeleteLove that 4th grade pic!
ReplyDeleteI'm horrible at putting laundry away.
Glad I am not the only one :)
DeleteYour picture with your friends made me miss Keds. ;) And a buffet is the PERFECT last meal choice, although I would probably just go with only the desserts...
ReplyDeleteDesserts and cheese would definitely be a lot of my stops at the buffet :)
DeleteNew reader here! This is such a fun way for me to know more about!
ReplyDeleteThank you and nice to meet you too! Off to check off your blog.
DeleteUgh! I am terrible at putting my laundry away!
ReplyDeleteGlad I am not the only one!
DeleteI hate putting laundry away too. I'm totally guilty of rushing and jamming it all into my dresser drawers. It makes me cringe to think how disorganized they are! I love love love the quote about motherhood. I truly feel that it is my calling as well. Your job as a foster care worker sounds heartbreaking. :-( I've been talking to Match about the idea of fostering with the intent to adopt, but I don't know if my heart could take it.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely eat sushi for my last meal. Specifically the deep fried, cream cheese and spicy tuna variety.
The majority of my clothes I tend to hang in my closet, so I will lay them all out flat on my bed, so I can put hangers on and hang them up, but too often come bedtime that stack just gets transferred to a chair or my dresser in my room.
DeleteAfter doing my job I don’t know if I ever could be a foster family as I would never want to let a child go back, but then again after my doing my job I understand so much the importance of great foster families.
Oh my goodness, quite an interesting quote! And I suck at putting clothes away too, my bedroom floor can attest to that too.
ReplyDeleteYes, it really flips things around in my mind when I start to feel like I want "my time" and “my things"
