The Sassiest Meme

K I took this from Sunday Stealing Who took it from two other bloggers. I am going to post this because we are going on an “adventure” as the hubby says and not sure when we will be back today. So here we go…

1. If you could say anything you wanted to say to George Bush, what would you say? You tried with what you were given. We all mistakes. (Yeah, I’m a Republican)

2. If you had to be the mother of Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan, who would you choose and why? Wow, that’s a selection that makes you want to be childless. If I had to pick, Britney, at least she’s trying.

3. You get to be Queen for a day. The kids are all taken care of, and you can spend as much money as you want. What do you do all day? Ohhhhh I go to the spa, get my nails and toes done, then I go and get what I need for the house to be decorated and then I grab the hubby and head somewhere sweet and romantic for the day and decide to decorate later.

4. Is there a song that brings tears to your eyes every time you hear it? If so, which one? Amazing Grace. I always associate it with my father’s funeral now and it’s a beautiful song. Those two combined and I melt when I hear it.

5. A fairy taps you on the shoulder and tells you that you can either have a perfect face or a perfect body for the rest of your life. Which do you choose? Perfect body- at least I could kiss a diet goodbye! But only if I get to keep the face I have now.

6. If you could live any place in the world and money was no object, where would you live and why? Ireland. It’s always been a place where I would like to go, I’d pick to live there just to be able to study the culture and history

7. What is your biggest regret in life? Ohhhhh the biggest? That I gained all this weight in the first place.

8. If you could go back and visit one person in your life who is now dead, and ask one question, what would that question be and why would you ask it? Mamaw.(my father’s mother) The question? Did you just give up?

9. If you had the choice to age forward (like we are now) or aging backwards (think Benjamin Buttons) which would you choose and why? I think age forward like we are now. I don’t want to start out old and get young. I want to start out young and age gracefully!

10. What will the epitaph on your headstone say? She really did it!

What about you?

I What?

I am me and no one else.
I think there is a lot of good in this world that is still untapped.
I know I am loved
I have the world’s best set of safety nets to fall on in the form of my friends and family
I wish my inner creativity would just pop out one day!
I hate monikers that we place on each other
I miss my family in Shreveport
I fear never being the person I want to become.
I hear so many things, the good the bad and the ugly, even when you don’t think that I do.
I smell the roses each chance that I get
I crave Reese’s cup whoppers
I search endless for what I think I want, only to find that I have it.
I wonder if there is ever going to be true world peace
I regret Scott, ‘nuff said
I love the beauty in life
I ache when I think of all the orphans who need a good home and aren’t wanted because they are too old, too sick or too something other than an orphan who needs a good solid home
I am not as strong as I want to be
I believe there is a reason for everything and that reason will be known one day
I dance when no one is watching
I sing in the car
I cry at sad sappy chick flicks
I fight for what I really really want
I win every step that I take
I lose my safety crutches and learn how strong I can truly be
I never give up unless it’s utterly useless
I always have wanted to find my mother.
I confuse smart politicicans and jackasses
I listen to everything around.
I can usually be found reading or writing
I am scared of snakes, scorpions and spiders
I need to learn that I can do it.
I am happy about my life
I imagine that sooner or later, I’ll do it.
But what exactly is it??
Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.  What are you???  If you do the meme, leave me a comment!!!!
