We Want To Know Wednesday

Photobucket


Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi and Shawn are the hosts of We Want To Know Wednesday. Be sure and visit them and link up with us!
This week the questions are coming from Impulsive Addict, so here we go:

{1} If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe.

I could drive 30 miles from here, get a hotel and be perfectly content, I swear. Getting away and not being anywhere near home is sometimes good enough for me, but since money is no object, I will go with Australia!

There are a few reasons why I would love to go there, one being that it is beautiful there (from what I've heard and pictures I've seen). The culture has always intrigued me too and I think I would love to experience that someday. For now, it's only a dream.

{2}What's a bad habit that you have (or had) that is/was hard to break?

I have a very bad habit of blowing things out of proportion. It is something that I have tried working on and I just can not, for some reason, overcome it.

For example, right now there are not one but two different issues that I am having with my vehicle.  When I discovered that there was a problem, I freaked, over-reacted, and basically was a nervous wreck. In hindsight, I know that it is something that I can not control, but something that can be fixed, but still, I stress. Big time!  I continue to work on that!

{3} If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?


To be honest, I am not on a diet. I do not count calories and would not even know where to begin to do that.  I am not bragging, just stating a fact. Since I was a kid, I've been tall and thin.  Again, I am not saying that is always a great thing. We all know kids can be mean, and not only to the fat kids. I suffered a lot growing up being the 'skinny' girl.

I would like to have Chinese for dinner tonight!

{4} If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask?


This is a toughie! I think I would go with my mom.  She passed away about 3 1/2 years ago and I miss her every single day. I know in my heart that she is in a better place but the question I have for her is, "What is Heaven like?" I know she is there and I would love to be able to know what she thinks about it. *tear*

{5} Describe yourself in 6 words

Sensitive, emotional, strong-willed, funny, caring and smart.

So, that is it! Thanks Impulsive Addict for the neat questions, you had my brain churning this morning!

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

That's an interesting question for your mom. I didn't even think about that. :( Happy Wednesday.

I could eat my weight in Chinese food...Hunan Chicken is my favorite...the spicier, the BETTER!

I tried not to cry....I did....my eyes only teared up a little bit on the interview question.
I was the fat girl that got made fun of and my best friend was a bean pole and she got made fun of for being skinny. I always told her I'd rather be made fun of for being skinny LOL.

I stress way too much as well, over things I can't control. It's sickness.

Blowing things out of proportion is a specialty of mine also!

What a great question to ask your mom.

VandyJ said...

I have to try hard to not let things get to me--I tend to stew on the small stuff.

Susie said...

I would turn the tables and interview Oprah or Martha. Both women of success intrigue me:-)

Shawn said...

Ok we're doing Australia together even if we are old and grey and using walkers!

My oldest over-reacts to most things. I don't get it but I'm sure the two of you think my "lazy" approach is just as confusing.

I'm not gonna lie, I;m a little jealous of your good genes!

I'm sad for your loss but thrilled yo;re able to understand that she is in a better place. I'm sure that did not come easily!

Great qualities!

Impulsive Addict said...

Australia would be awesome except for that long ass flight! Ugh. But I still want to go someday.

What? You're one of those naturally skinny girls that I wanna cut? I'm completely jealous. The last time I had chinese food, my water broke 6 weeks early! lol

Aw, number 4 was sad. I'm sorry.

Thanks for linking up! You're so faithful! =) <---I'm totally trying to talk in your accent right now.

Helene said...

Australia!!!! YES!!!! It's definitely on my bucket list of one of the places I have to visit at least once in my lifetime!!!

So sad about your mom...it must be tough not having her here with you.

Dee said...

I've never been on a diet lol. I'm trying to lose 15 lbs right now but I'm not dieting or anything. I'm sorry about your Mom boo. I lost my Mom 11 years ago and I still miss her every single day. Hugs!

McKenzie said...

Chinese sounds amazing right now! I have a high metabolism too, except I am short and skinny haha.

Anonymous said...

I'd probably have a lot more hair and better skin if I didn't blow things out of proportion too...and then procede to worry about them constantly, no matter how insignificant they are. If you figure out how to curb that, lemme know! :o)

And sorry about your mom. That makes me sad. :o(

Jessica McCoy said...

Love Australian accents!

So sorry about your mom. I feel the exact same way about my Nana :(

Janette @ The Johanson Journey said...

Aw! That's sad about your Mom.. I'm sorry.. but that's a great choice!! I should have put my grandmother, but went for silly people instead. Australia would be awesome... I wish it wasn't so far to travel to these amazing places! I wonder if anyone living over in the amazing places would say, I'd love to go to DALLAS TEXAS.. in the USA... and then all their friends jump on that bandwagon and say, GOSH, I've always wanted to go there!! Doubt it.

I don't know if this would help you at all or not, but I used to freak at EVERYTHING. A little game I learned to play with myself was to let myself get really, and I mean really carried away with what's the worst that could happen to where I was saying stuff like well the whole world could explode and I would be stuck here for the rest of my life with no one and nothing and everyone else was dead and --- you get the idea --- and once I got to where I could laugh at myself about how ridiculous I was sounding then I didn't need to be quite so drama-filled and learned you really don't need to sweat the small stuff- of course, that came with time and experience and since I am old I can say with some confidence whatever "it" is, this too shall pass. It always does.

Great answers, I am so enjoying everyones answers.

Mamarazzi said...

a hotel in the same town with some chinese food sounds good to me right now.

i love hotels and eating in the bed there!!

i would add kind to your list...you are always so sweet to me!!
