I'm somewhat of a middle child. I'm the third child out of four. I used to be the baby until I was five, and my mom came home with no belly poking out and a little sister. She was cute, but I lost my position as the baby of the family! Didn't affect me that much, I was still daddy's little girl. Oh my gosh, I could do no wrong in my dad's eyes! Looking back now, I feel bad about my brothers! They were accused and blamed for everything! :-)
A suprise birthday dinner at a local Chinese restaurant. It was so awesome! I was a little down that day. I was in training to spend a whole year in Iraq. I was away from my family. My ex-boyfriend who coincidentally had the same birthday got a cake from his new girlfriend in shape of her boobs. My friends totally came through! I didn't have cake but I had a ice cream sundae complete with bananas in cherry sauce. Rainbow sprinkles!
Gosh! This book! I never made it past page 6. I tried so many times to read this book! Finally, I just gave up! Maybe one day, I will find my way back to it. Hopefully, I will find the patience,too.
I would invent a phone robot. It would remind myself to call my mother, then turn around, call my mother at the appointed time, and pretend to be me. We both win! My mother can get it off her chest what a disappoint I am to her and how perfect my oldest brother is... and my self esteem doesn't suffer!! Yay!
she could be a real bitch
Because I can be when provoked. But seriously, I want them to tell stories about how I fit in their lives and their favorite memories with me....
Everybody wants to be remembered, right?
What experience did you miss out on and wish you'd been a part of?....
It would have to be the whole college experience. Living in dorms, living of my parents hard earned money, having no real responsibilities, meeting new people and making new friends, frat parties.... It's not too late for it, but in a way it is...
If you had to lose one of your senses for a year, which one would it be? I pick hearing. I want to learn sign language. When I was little, I learned the alphabet and my friends and I used to sign words across the classroom. When I was in high school, my guardian had his voice box taken out due to cancer. I learned a little about reading lips. But mostly, I want to see if I can easily learn sign language. It's not the same when you can hear the words. I want the whole experience.
Christmas Reunion at the Grandparents..
My grandparents had 12 children. So every Christmas, we would have a family style reunion event at their house. It always ends up the same. Enough food to feed a whole army, children everywhere, and that drunk uncle we always have to pick up from somewhere. Fun times. :-)
Frosted Flakes or Corn Pops. Just dry, no milk. When the dining facility is far and it's a 130 degrees outside... those cereals are great meals! They made my 15 months in Iraq!
I was in a department store and they were holding a raffle. I got my and the instructions was to say a word they gave you when they called your number. They called my number but before I could say anything, this old lady started yelling that she won! It was kind of funny because she was 5 numbers off. They still gave her a prize, and I still got my a gold necklace with a Swarovski crystal pendant. Win win!
Let me tell you a secret....
I think this every single day... Pack up my favorite shirts and my jewelry and leave. To not think about the consequences. To not care about the people that are left behind... because some times I do think they are holding me back from happiness. From adventure.
My journal kit
This includes numerous journal books, pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, and crayons. I love writing down random ideas and drawing pretty flowers and butterflies.
A book: To Kill A Mockingbird
My favorite book. I can read it over and over again.
My giant body pillow
I'm one of those people that needs a ridiculous amount of pillows. I figure my giant body pillow will have to do. If not, I might have to steal or bribe people...
I remember matching my outfits with next door neighbor girl for kindergarten. Our houses were quite near so instead of using the telephone, we would yell out the windows. "What color underwear are you wearing today?! Wear the purple dress!"
I can be a real jerk sometimes. Most of the time,they deserved it. But when I know I hurt their feelings and I'm wrong, it's really hard to apologize without looking like a real jerk. That's why now I get all the details before I do or say anything.
Festival or a Carnival
Sunshine. Carnival rides. Colorful customes. Funnel cake. Giant corndogs. Snow cones. Brisket sandwiches. Lots and lots of handmade jewelry booths.
All of my favorite things in one place!
