The Splits and Climbing Trees

happy Tuesday! i sure hope you all had a nice weekend and also took some time to remember our fallen solders for our freedom. overall, i had a nice weekend. mother comes back home today from her time in Africa. cannot wait to see her and listen to all she has to tell and see some pics of her and grandma and my cousins. also cannot wait to see what she was able to bring back from the "motherland" i sure hope one of them was raw organic, straight from Africa shae butter!

ok, now lets chat over some coffee, well, for me today it is sweet tea. if you know me, this is NO surprise what so ever to have sweet tea in the morning. it is a southern thing i suppose. 

ok, so the question for this chat is...If you could go back to your childhood, what thing would 

you do right now that you have missed as an adult?

ha, this one made me LOL. the first thing that came to mind was climbing trees and doing the splits. see, as an adult now these are just things that one cannot do anymore for various reasons. but i sure do miss the ability to do so!

and hey for a little bit of hey it is ok...IT IS OK that i cannot climb trees or do the splits anymore. really it it. just happy i can still stretch and appreciate trees!

Memorial Day

The Sunday Social #103

happy Sunday! it is time for The Sunday Social :) i am a bit late on this one b/c i was at the beach :) lovely day for it too and the water was great and little bro surprised me by going all the way out in the ocean...well, at least it seemed that way. ok, here we go with The Sunday Social.

1. What is your favorite handbag you own?

--my Coach bags (yes BAGS/PURSES/PLURAL). i have gotten into the habit, good or bad to buy a new one each year around New Year's when they have their end of the year sale at the Coach Outlet.

2. 3 things you would buy right now if money was no object?

--a house, a new car, and i would take care of my student loan debt.

3. Name a place you would go right now if given a plane ticket to anywhere?

--Italy/Sicily. love the place and now that i have  digital camera and great camera phone...it is on! picture overload!

4. What is the most valuable life lesson you've learned from blogging?

5. What is the most valuable life lesson you've learned from a friend?

--do not be surprised by people; they can change in a blink of an eye. not everyone is going to like you all the time or ever, and that is ok. the ones that do are the ones you keep close to you heart and know you can depend on.

ok, let's do some Sunday Stealing...random style!

Random XV
1. How old is the oldest pair of shoes in your closet?--i have my first set of shoes of when i was a baby. my mother gave it to me, so that would be a 29 year old pair of shoes (almost 30 in July!)

2. Did you buy Girl Scout cookies this year? If so, what variety?--none this year. really i did not see the Girl Scouts out this year :( i hear Dollar General has the generic brand Girl Scout cookies (thin mints and coconut-caramel kind for under $2 a box) taste like the real thing to me :) 

3. Do you know how to ballroom dance?--no, but i would like to and i think i could pick it up quickly as long as "he" is leading right.

6. If you're going to have a medical procedure done, such as having blood drawn, is it easier for you to watch someone else having the procedure done or have it done yourself?--does not matter to me. i have had 3 eye surgeries to repair structural damage, so i am ok with medical procedures. i did watch it on YouTube so at least i would have an idea of what was going on. i was awake/twilight sleep during it all.

8. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received??--good evaluations at work and someone saying "I Love You". that is always nice. 

9. Do hospitals make you queasy?--not at all!! see question #6 for more reasons why.

10. At which store would you like to max-out your credit card?--hmmm, Super Target. one stop shop. the other place would maybe be a thrift store where my money would go a LOOOONNNNGGGG way and a good bit of the money spent at most of them go to a good cause (church, homeless, kids, etc.)

11. Are you true to the brand names of products/items?--no

12. Which is more difficult: looking into someone’s eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when he/she is telling you how he/she feels?--the first one. looking into someone's eyes when you are telling them how you feel.

13. What’s one thing you’re deeply proud of — but would never put on your résumé?--how i have overcome quite a few set-backs, and still able to achieve a goal (such as, some classes i did not do so well in, but i did them again, did better, and achieved my Master's Degree!)

14. What’s the most out-of-character choice you’ve ever made?--hmmm, perhaps some of the boys/men i have dated in the past??

15. What’s your personal anthem or theme song?--the song "Just Stand" by Donnie McClurkin. love the part that says "After you've done all you can...You Just Stand".
