1. If a major newspaper wrote an article about you today, what would the headline be?

Local Girl has profound moment of happiness when told of cyst



2. Name one thing you like about being an adult.

Options.  (i.e. choices but Drazil already took that one and I can only copy so much!)  When I was a kid I can't tell you how many times I heard "Because I said so" when I asked my mom if I could have something, do something, borrow something, lend something, whatever.  Now...It's because I say so that I choose things.  (Or my husband.  He gets a say, too.  Equal, even...)


3. What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon when you were a kid?

I always hated cartoons as a kid.  Can you believe that?  In recent years I've decided they have humor.  But as a kid, I didn't appreciate having to watch tv that was dumbed down and uninspired.  That was how I saw 'em back then.  I know, now, that it's not entirely true; don't really think that anymore.

I just wanted to watch real tv with real people along side the real people.  And I was one of those kids with time limits, anyway.  I got half an hour a day.  Yes, I could take a half hour off this day and put it on that day....so long as at the end of the week, it was three and a half hours...but I certainly wasn't going to waste my time on goofy cartoons when there was The Brady Bunch and Silver Spoons and The Facts of Life and Dukes of Hazard and...

On the rare occasion that I was at a friends house and I literally had to watch a cartoon...the only one that ever appealed to me was Rocky and Bullwinkle.  Usually I was able to talk my friends out of cartoon watching and could get them to go outside where I really preferred to be.


4. When is the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt about them?

I tell my husband every day.  It's never planned, it's never in the same place or at the same time.  But somehow, every day, an "I love you because...." comes up.  Or some spontaneous "I love you" which is met with a why which is met with babytalk that would drive you insane.  Enough so that one of our best friends is constantly saying "I don't know if I hate you two right now because you're so stupid or if I'm jealous".

I have always been able to tell people what I think...honestly.  My mom told me that I was brutally honest and even with a word like brutal in there, she admired that, she said.  No one doubts if they are in my good graces or not.  And I don't mince words.  I think I've learned, over the years, to tone my brutal-ness down.


5. Repeat question: Summarize your week in life and in blogland.
 
Week in life.  Good.  I am just so content right now.  Content with my journey, content with my progress, content with my husband, content with my sanity.  I reek content.  I love it.
 
Week in blogland...much improved.  I'm back.  Courtesy of work not working for a couple days in a row, I've had more time to blog and to even work some on my catching up.  And it feels good.
