- If you knew you had only one week to live, how and with whom would you spend it? In my last week I would take my kids to their favorite places & make as many happy memories with them as I could. I would make the families favorite meals every day. Have a photographer follow us around & have that photographer make a memory book for my boys so they could always remember that last week with a smile. I'd take out a very large life insurance policy (if possible) that would set my husband and kids up for a comfortable life. Every where we went I'd hold hands with my husband. I'd make sure that I told them how much I loved them, & give them lots of hugs & as many sugars as they'd tollerate. *oh, I'm getting emotional just at the thought*
- Why do you think your most favorite film touches you so deeply? my favorite films are happy, emotional, a little humorous, dramas (fried green tomatos, steel magnolias, hope floats, the notebook...etc etc) the "real life" emotions they portray, often remind me of me or my family

- What do you want people you meet for the first time to think about you? I want them to think I'm friendly

- If you could go back in time and change things, how would you alter the last ten years? I wouldn't worry about getting my college degree, or I would take class by class as we could afford for me to pay as I go. I hate having my massive student loan :(
- If you could get rid of one of your responsibilities today, what would that be? ohhh tough one! Maybe making our lunches at 5am....or dishes (but I could have the boys do that & I don't)....it's a tough pick!!

- What do you think is the biggest injustice that was ever done to you? that would be me in my younger years letting myself go completely wild after I grew up in church & knew so much better. I had a lot of demons I guess I just didn't want to deal with. I'd been much better off dealing with the demons
- What type of person angers you the most? Selfish people, stuck up people, people who think they are better than anyone else....it's just annoying
- Who never fails to make you feel good about yourself? my momma. No matter how rotten I've been she can always find a good way to "spin" what I do. She thinks I'm perfect <3
- If you could start all over again, what would you want to study? I still don't know!! Probably something that would help out small farmers with their land & animals
- Which type of intelligence do you wish you had: kinetic, visual, interpersonal, linguistic or mathematical? Seriously, I don't know what all that means. I'm guessing linguistic is language & I'd LOVE to know Spanish, French, German, or any foreign language but I'm too lazy to study & work towards this goal on a regular basis
- What is your biggest pet peeve? Rudeness, it wouldn't kill folks to say Hi & acknowledge folks in a general way. Saying thank you, appreciating what others do for you. I hate when I see my friends or family get taken advantage of by rude selfish people
- What was the one opportunity you always believed you’ve missed out on? One opportunity I'm not sad I missed out on would be having a career. I never dreamed I'd be a homemaker or enjoy it but I do LOVE it.
- What do you like about yourself the most? I can laugh at myself and if I'm wrong I'll apologize
- What do you regret the most? running away when I was in the 9th grade :(
- What is the most hurtful thing you’ve ever witnessed? Why did it affect you? On tv- an old man got hit by a car & all the people that saw, no one went to help him. That broke my heart. I don't guess it affected me but it was the worst thing I've ever seen.
- What would you like most to be acknowledged for in your life? I would like people to say, "people wanted the same happiness & peace that came from her faith", something like that. I'm not very eloquent with words.
- What is the first thought that usually crosses your mind the second you open your eyes in the morning? Is the coffee ready?? *I set it on delay brew the night before*
- What is that thing about yourself you’re sick and tired of? Being sick & dad-gum-tired!! I'm so sick of my allergies but I just can't take a ton of pills all the time, I'm not comfortable with that
- Who really depends on you? Why? My kids. Because their kids & they're supposed to be able to depend on their Momma for so many things, food, support, love...
- What was the main factor that played a role in your biggest mistake? me not forgiving people that hurt me. keeping emotions bottled up & not sharing my pain. You gotta get that yucky stuff out!! Keeping it bottled up turns you nasty from the inside out.
- What was the main factor that played a role in your biggest success? God, he has provided for me & my family all the time!! I have two healthy boys, I am in love with my husband & he loves me too. My family is my biggest success.
- What childhood memory sizzles your heart? Running Track. Something about running was very healing for me.
- What was the most frustrating period in your creative life? I'm not creative, so in that aspect, it's all been frustrating LOL I'd love to be creative but what I can do is follow directions VERY well to re-create ;)
- What is your future self calling for? Creating a homestead, a comfortable home, and teaching my boys old fashioned skills (I'll have to teach myself those also)
- Do you love yourself? Very Much
- If you were your own coach, how would you guide yourself? I'd say, don't rush, be patient, PRAY!! Read your bible girl!! I'd point out who I could trust & who I should avoid. I'd encourage Yoga & jogging, healthy eating & organizing more productive days. And I'd end each effort with encouraging words :)
Do you think it’s easy to answer such questions about yourself?
