Tuesday Coffee Chat...What makes you Unique?
my my my, Les sure does come up with good questions. well, we are all unique in some way b/c there is no one else out there like us. not even if you are a twin. so what makes me unique? well...
--i am not yet 30
--i have a brother who is 7 years younger than me and is Autistic
--my family is from Nigeria, so in the real sense of the word and meaning, i am truly an African-American.
--i have lived in many places due to the military life of my mother. my favorite places had to be Orlando, FL (can we say Disney all the time and I swear I do no remember a single trip to the place in my younger days...hahah) and Sicly. oh how i wish i was not a teen when we went there and digital cameras were in existence so that i could take load of pics.
--i love the dollar tree! if someone gave me a gift card to the place, i would be totally happy. i love to get my little snacks, drinks and make-up there.
--i love Cool Gear type cups...i must have say 15 of them and you will never see me without a cup/drink in my hand or near me. i am all about staying hydrated.
--i would rather be hungry than thirsty.
--my full African name means "In the mist of plenty" as i have gotten older i see this meaning taking place. it does not mean money really, i am in the mist of plenty with friends, family and love and i know i have been spared many times
--i love McDonald's chicken nuggets and sweet tea!
--i love to shop/well really, find really good bargains
--i am a HUGE Florida State Fan!! GO NOLES, have been since age 2 or 3 b/c the gator as an animal scared me and i really liked the team (FSU) with the pony! do not judge me...i was 3-4 at the time :)
ok, now lets go to to more Q and A with me with Everyday Ruralty. i came across this blog link up from my friend who always leaves a sweet comment for me Retired not Tired :)
What are your favorite condiments?--ketchup, honey mustard, ranch dressing, honey, and splenda
What are you reading?--juicing books and lots of magazines. i need to get back to a good book.
What was the last dessert you had?--the pound cake i made
Wendell would like to know if you would build him a snowman. (If you don't have snow, just pretend. He's not detail oriented.)--sure, i would build him a snowman if he would help. since i live in FL it may really be a "sandman" instead.
Tell me something fun or interesting.--i miss climbing trees. i used to climb them all the time when i was younger.
~ER...
So glad you linked up to my blog and joined in with Patrice and Wendall. You are truly unique. My grandson is autistic as well.
ReplyDeleteRNT, me too! I look forward to continuing. Speaking of "unique" those autistic kids sure are unique.
DeleteWelcome to Chats. I enjoyed reading your answers.
ReplyDeleteBecky, thank you! I hope to be a regular. glad you liked the answers!
DeleteYou are very uniquely accomplished. Welcome to chats, I have never made a pound cake.....does it actually have a pound each of all the ingredients?
ReplyDeletethank you Banker Chick for your kind words. Not really a pound of each. in fact this one was a quick one i found on Pinterest and it was actually quite light in the tasting.
Delete"in the mist of plenty" I LOVE that. so beautiful and profound. It suits you for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteI really have to get better at staying hydrated. Maybe if I got a cool cup? It could be my signature cup - my unique water holder. I like that idea.
Rory, hahah! yes, they sure do increase my water/fluid intake for sure and they are cute and stylish too. thank you for your comment about my name :)
DeleteI think that if I were to try to climb a tree these days, there would be an Ent-moot! The trees would rebel and so would my body. :)
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that you're into bargains. My husband and I are, too, though both of us hate to shop. haha Have you heard of extreme couponing? There was a TLC series of the same name. It was really interesting to see the deals those folks got. My husband and I are trying to get to that level now, at least in regards to savings. We don't need to stock up on 9 zillion bottles or boxes of anything. Six months to a year supply would be good enough for us. Some of those folks had enough stuff stockpiled to last 4 years!
It is nice to meet you. I am a new follower. Have a great week!
Nice to meet you too! Yes, I have heard of that show. i miss it actually, but that is just too much work in general with it all. but hey, they have the time. a good stalk-pile is nice. thanks for following i will do the same!
DeleteI love the meaning of your name, yes we are all unique. The one thing I think that makes me unique is I love to wear moccasins. Being bare foot is my favorite, but it is cold during the colder months. Wearing moccasins is the closest I can get to being bare footed in the colder months. Thanks for sharing again on Tuesdays With a Twist, stop by tomorrow to share again.
