Melli played this last week. I thought, "Oh that's cool, she's found another blogging meme/subject." Then when I read it, I found out it was from Linda's over at 2nd Cup of Coffee who I have been reading for a while. And I have to admit that I was then thinking, "Huh?? When did she start that? And how did Melli find it before me? (Cause I didn't think Melli and Linda even "knew" each other.) Then I reminded myself that I have been a supreme slacker blogger this past few months and really what did it matter anyway?
Today, though, I decided to jump in and play. So here you go:
1. What is something that you have changed your mind about either recently or over a number of years? Hmm...this one is a bit difficult right out of the chute! Oh wait, I know...I USED to think that TV's do NOT belong on walls and I am now thinking about putting ours up there. My DH and my kids are beside themselves that my mind has shifted on this!
2. Choose either subject, but does your a) church b) job feel more like a dental chair experience or an easy chair (recliner) experience? I have to say that I have been in both "a" and "b" when they felt like a dental chair. But, for me, right now they are an easy chair. I love what I do for my job and totally feel called to it. I love our church and feel it is really doing what it's supposed to in the community. Ahhh...time to recline!
3. Kisses or hugs? I actually typed "huts," which might have been a more interesting question. I'll take "huts" for 200 Alex! No, I like hugs... A LOT!
4. What do you think is the biggest threat to families today? BUSY BUSY schedules that rob together time.
5. A day after you grocery shop, you open a perishable item that is horribly spoiled. Do you take your receipt back to the store to be reimbursed or just throw it away and forget about it? I have to be honest, I have done BOTH. I have taken stuff back when I'm in the mood...we live right down the street from the store, so it's not a huge deal. On the other hand, there are times, I just throw it away cause I don't want the hassle.
6. What personality trait (feel free to address good or bad or both) do you notice yourself adopting from your parents? Um, my control freakness...sorry Dad! My worry....sorry Mom! My determination, love of people, and family focus....thanks Dad AND Mom!!
7. How many slices of bread do you leave in the bottom of the bag when you throw it away? Two? Three? Just the heel? None? (I really want to know if you eat the heel.) I have to be honest, I usually don't eat the heel...but I have been known to turn it upside down on DS 4's lunchbox sandwich to use it! I use it when it's in a casserole broken apart. Generally there's two pieces left, the heel and the wimpy one that gets bent beside the heel.
8. What mispronunciation or usage error really irritates you? I can't stand the their, they're and there OR the your and you're mistakes that I see all the time in status updates on Facebook! Makes me CRAZY!
9. In honor of the uniqueness of today's date, what does the numeral 9 mean to you? (Any special life moments attached to the 9th? Are you the 9th kid in your family? Can you count by 9s really fast? etc.) Absolutely NOTHING! It is simply one less than ten to me. I can think of nothing special about the 9th of anything.
10. Does the general color palette in your closet match the colors you chose to decorate your home with? Interesting, a few years ago, I'd have answered "no"...but today I have to say "yes" sort of.
11. When you're hanging out with friends in the kitchen, do you automatically ask to help, or do you sit there and chat until the host asks if you'd like to help? I'm not implying that the 2nd choice stems from rudeness or laziness, just not a first-response like it is for some people. I ask to help, but I'll be honest, when people are in MY kitchen, I'd rather them just visit with me...unless it's my friend Sandy bailing me out of my cooking "issues"!
12. Let's end on a pleasant note: What do you enjoy about September the most? The anticipation of putting out my fall decor even while it remains 100 degrees outside! My DS 2 was born in Sept. The fact that school is now really underway....All these things make me enjoy this month!

ROFL! You crack me up!!! What in the WORLD difference would it make if I found Linda's meme before you did!??? You are soooo silly! I LIKE her meme's! She asks GOOD questions!
I'm finding myself verrrrry THANKFUL today that I haven't experienced too much of that dentist chair at church! Only occasionally during one of Pastor's sermons! But as far as church issues go - I've not had uncomfortable times ... yet! ;)
#4 is a big issue. Amanda only has ONE kid and has already started learning about doing TOO much. We've already had the talk about Luz NOT having to participate in EVERYthing... and about Amanda not having to participate in EVERYthing too! They need a few nights a week to just BE at home enjoying toys and time together! Especially with ALL DAY Kinder! (I really don't like that!)
I hear ya! I hope you know I wrote the stuff about you and Linda with great love and respect. I just love it that your lives intersected and I (sort of) missed it!
:-) Hugs!!
Hooray for Sandy helping out with "cooking issues" lol. We were in Whole Foods over the weekend and she told me about a certain phone call you placed to her while you were recently in Whole Foods...lol, you crack me up Susan. Hope your week is going well, many HUGS! :)
