This Week's Theme: HIGHSCHOOL
This Week's Questions:
1. What was your favorite memory in HIGHSCHOOL?
I would say either sports or Lauren. I absolutely LOVED the times I spent riding in the bus to and from games, the early morning practices and the Saturdays spent putting our hardword to play.
But, Lauren was my cherished one in school and not a day goes by that I'm not thinking about her.
2. If you could do one thing over in HIGHSCHOOL, what would it be?
I don't think there is enough space in this blog for that. But if I had to focus on one thing, I would have stayed away from the "wrong side of the tracks." I got involved with a lot of people and a lot of things that I shouldn't have and it let my life way off track. I wish I would have focused more on my studies instead of parties.
3. Did you have a HIGHSCHOOL sweetheart? Do you still keep in contact with him?
I did and no....enough said. Sorry!
4. Have you attended a HIGHSCHOOL reunion yet? If so, how was it? If not, what do you think it will or could have been like?
Not yet.....haven't been out of school long enough lol!!
5. Do you think you were popular in HIGHSCHOOL? Do you think if you went back now it would be the same or different? Feel free to post any pictures of you from highschool.
I floated between crowds. Looking back no one was really 'popular' like you see in the movies. However, yes there was the in-crowd, the in betweens, and the not so much ones. I was an in-between> I had a very vast variety of friends!

This Week's Theme: DRAMA
This Week's Questions:
1. What does the word DRAMA mean to you?
Drama is a difficult word to define in words. It is an emotional and mental state. Sadly, some people choose to live in a constant state of drama. Drama is unnecessary emotional and mental and social strain presented into your life typically through the sharing of confidnetial information.
2. Do you like DRAMA in your life?
Oooh...I will say no. My husband would say yes I do because I tend to discuss private things among friends. This isn't to me drama however. I am not doing this with the intention of sharing any information outside of our select group and typically the discussion is a mere, lets catch up in each others lives and typically one of us knows something about someone within our 'group' who isn't there at the moment. :-/ I do not like drama when it affects my family and do my best to stay removed from drama in each others.
3. What is the biggest DRAMA ordeal you've been in?
I'm sorry but I am not going to share this because it is very personal. I will share a story though from when I was younger!
When in Middle School, I had the opportunity to speak at a school board meeting about the closing of our school. I was in the 8th grade and on the dance team. We had a basketball game that night and therefore I attended the meeting after the game in my uniform. I gave a speech that I had worked very hard on and was warmly recieved by the adults that evening.
The next morning when arriving at school I was surprised and quite caught off guard when I was rushed into the principles office. Apparently, a radio host on the morning radio had taken it upon himself to speak openly about me over the radio.
However, this was more than a mere mentioning. He stated that I deserved to be spanked for wearing such things to a school board meeting and likened me to a street walker. He tried to make it as if I was low class and attacked my family for allowing me to speak my opinion. He claimed that I was uneducated for daring to appear at an adult conference.
I was hurt and crushed. The school and my parents together threatened to sue and he was forced to give an on air apology. This little incident stuck.
The following year in High School I was again on the dance team. At our Homecoming football game, he was there handing out T-shirts. I walked across the field (in a much more revealing uniform this time!) and asked politely for a T-shirt. I then took the microphone from the announcer and publicly humiliated him for varnishing a honor roll students public image and proceeded to light the shirt of fire.
I was offered suspension or an apology. I refused to make a public apology and rather wrote him a letter. I doubt today it sounded so much like an apology and more definetly like I was keeping my spotless school record exactly that! ;-)
4. Do you know someone who loves DRAMA? Who is it?
I've known quite a few people like this in my life. I however avoid to socialize with them today.
5. How do you avoid DRAMA in your life?
I eliminate people who focus on drama in my life. I end or leave a conversation that is heading in that direction and am not afraid to tell a friend they are crossing the line in what is appropriate discussion. My personal life stays personal.

MHO-Monday Mingle
This Week's Questions:
1. Without giving to much info, what is the biggest secret you've ever kept?
Ooohh….it had to do with a Christmas present. I couldn’t tell anyone except my then best friend Amy. Ya see peeps….
My Daddy-o had bought this really awesome leather jacket it Las Vegas one year. It was his most prized possession. Besides me that is ;-) It had an American flag with the words ‘God Bless America’ embroidered around it. It hung on the back of his drivers seat in his semi. He always got a ton of comments about that jacket. Then one winter….one terrible night. His truck was broke into and they stole the jacket. Just that jacket! It made him so upset he came home from being on the road…ON A WEDNESDAY. Yes…that’s right my peeps. My Daddy-o mourned his jacket.
So…I was such a great daughter that I got this bright idea some 5 years later that I would get him another one. This was our first Christmas with my parents divorced so I really wanted it to be special. First, was to track down the original flag jacket at Wilson’s leather. It was discontinued. BUT….an outlet store had one about an hour and a half away. So at 14 years old…I told some white lies about where I was and Amy drove me to buy the jacket. After that, I had to hide it. This was in September. We moved during this time.
I stressed and lost sleep about how to get that jacket out of my house without my dad seeing it. I was obviously successful.
I didn’t realize then how much work it would be to have someone embroider leather. They just don’t want to do it! I finally found one place in town. They charged me a ridiculous amoung (more than what I paid for the coat!) and made me sign a letter saying they were not responsible for damages to the coat. I explained how special this was and the whole story. They promised to do their best.
The jacket turned out perfect. My Daddy-o cried when he opened it Christmas morning and couldn’t even tell people the story for the next year! It is still special to him!
Was that too much info...sorry!
2. Have you ever kept a secret from your Significant Other? Do you think he/she has kept any from you?
Other than surprises about birthdays or friends visiting no. Outside of the same reasons…not that I’m aware of.
3. Who is the first person you would automatically want to tell a secret to?
I don’t have a lot of secrets. But Hubby Dearest. I tell people when they tell me something that I’m going to tell him, obviously unless they tell me not to!
4. Any secrets you want to get off your chest? Even if it's from the third grade, still counts.
Not that I can think of.
5. Are you good at keeping secrets? Why or why not?
Yes. I hate it when I confide in someone and they share that with others, so I am very protective over what people tell me!

This Week's Theme: KIDS
This Week's Questions:
1. Do you have any kids? If so, how many? If not, how many do you want or do you want any?
I have 2! A two year old and a 2 month old! And we are done!
2. What is the cutest thing you've ever heard a kid say?
Lil Mister was sitting on our brothers bike and says to me "passop mama, ek ry!" (translate watch out mama, I'm driving!)
3. What is your favorite memory as a kid, if you could pick one?
Staying up late on weekends with my uncles while they had band practice. That and how during the summer the whole neighborhood hung out together. We lived on a dead end street and spent morning until night together. We were about 20 kids from 3 years old to 15 years old. We played sports, hide and seek, and went to the pool. I loved always having friends.
4. As a kid, what was your favorite subject in school?
History. I love what it teaches us. I've been obsessed with the Middle Ages since I was in 6th grade and we built a papermache castle as tall as we were! That teacher was the best!
5. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Haha...what day of the week? At one point I wanted to be each of these sometimes more than one at a time...teacher, doctor, navy personnel, pilot, vet, secretary, dancer, coach, and a mom!
