Fun Monday - Getting to Know You!

This week's Fun Monday is being hosted by Mariposa. She would like all us "Fun Monday"ers to get to know each other better. So, here is her challenge.

(1) Share something which you wish your readers would know about you. It could be something you feel you might need to clarify/ share, etc.
Just like Sayre said in her post, I feel like this blog is pretty much an open book. I haven't been as "post"-y as I have been in the past, in part due to being very, very busy at work and at home..and in part because I like visiting Facebook too much. But something I would like to share?? Hmmmmm......I guess I should share that I worry a lot. About everything. Way more than I express here, because if I put it all here I would sound like such a whiner. I especially worry about money, my kids, and my future. But I do pray a lot, and I try to plan and trust.

(2) Ask three questions to your readers, and I mean all readers, whether participants of Fun Monday or not. The questions should be generic so that all your readers can answer them and that it will help you get to know your readers more.

A. What profession would you have if you could completely change from what you're doing now?

B. What helps you relax and trust that things will be okay when you're stressed out?

C. What is one thing you like about me? (I'm feeling kind of needy right now...I need some strokes!)



I hope your Monday was a good one. Mine was crazy...I was observed by the principal today...and my co-teacher really annoys me. But I had a fantastic weekend with Steven. Tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary and he bought me a beautiful promise ring (as in, " a promise of things to come"). It's being sized right now, so I can't wear it (sniff!) until November 12, but here is a picture:


It looks smaller in the picture, but it has 3 beautiful diamonds and is very heavy and comfortable. I can't wait to wear it!

Anyway, hope your week goes well.

Gorgeous ring! I'm so glad you are happy with Steven. I remember some of the stuff before him - it was not happy stuff. Congrats on two years! Man, how could it be that long?

A. What profession would you have if you could completely change from what you're doing now?
I would be a full time writer (provided my writer's block lifts).

B. What helps you relax and trust that things will be okay when you're stressed out? Movies or TV shows that make me cry. Somehow, a good cry clears my mind and lets me think again!

C. What is one thing you like about me? (I'm feeling kind of needy right now...I need some strokes!) Hmmm... well, let's see. What DON'T I like about you? That you live so far away? Yeah. That I've never actually gotten to meet you? Yeah, that too. But from what I know about you, I like pretty much everything else!

A. A sportswriter or professional gambler. Or both.

B. I wish it was something other than eat. ;-)

C. I like that you're genuine and never fake.

w0w… a Promise Ring. How special.

1. A second choice for profession would be 'clinical psychologist'.

2. Any type of entertainment will get my mind off other things and help me to relax.

3. I like that you are a genuinely nice person. We all are fortunate to have your bLog to enjoy you and your family.
