1. When was the last time you relocated? Did you move yourself or leave it to the professionals? Are you happy staying put or is there a move in your future? Best thing about moving to a new city or town? Least favorite and/or hardest thing about moving house?
We’ve been here for sixteen years. I love my home, but as Savannah gets older, I want to be closer. Hubby wants to stay here, so we will for now, and I do a lot of driving. Someday, I want to move closer, where we actually are closer to the world, the shops, and my Savi.
2. When were you last ‘moved to tears’? Explain.
Oh, I am menopausal, so I cry all the time. Movies, TV shows, Commercials. Yeah, I cry all the time.
3. Do you have rules about eating in the car…any forbidden foods? What’s the last thing you consumed in your car? Your go-to car snack when traveling long distance?
No rules. I do love popcorn and tend to eat that in the car. Must remember to toss in some dental floss!
4. Share a favorite song relating to cars and/or driving.
It’s from an old movie that Gweneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis made. “Duets”. It’s a fun song, even if the movie was a B-movie.
5. What’s your most frequently visited drive-thru…Starbucks? the bank? the pharmacy? some other window?
It’s a tie between Dunkin Donuts for coffee and McDonalds.
6. “He who hesitates is lost”…would you agree? When it comes to making decisions do you generally act quickly or do you more often than not fall into the ‘lost’ category?
7. When was the last time you got lost? Was it stressful or an unexpected happy adventure?
When I went down to Connecticut to see my Dad when he was dying. Coming home, I cried so hard, I missed my exit. After that I got a GPS.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I was thinking the other day about how people just are not nice to each other any more. I do not mean in their own circles and family, but in general public settings. Here is a good example. I was shopping for groceries and was in the Italian section. I was trying to remember the name of the sauce with no sodium (Hubby has trouble), and I had stopped to look. Well this lady came up to me and started to curse and swear, and called me every name in the book. Why? I do not know. She was rude and nasty, and guess what? I wasn’t even in her way! That’s what got me thinking about a general malaise as far as manners go. It makes me very happy that my daughter is diligent teaching Savannah manners. Without them, we are all lost.
Well, don’t get lost coming down here! Looking forward to our visit and the baby shower! Love YOU, Mel
I remember the movie, and like the song too. I do think in general people are less courteous than they were a decade ago. I feel like technology has something to do with that. We’re very wrapped up in us.
May have been a “B” movie but this gal loved it. Who knew Gwyneth could sing?
