Wrapping Up Answers to ASK ME ANYTHING

Now that the 

BIG QUESTIONS 

are out of the way I will answer the rest of them.

Question:

What does your hubby do at the hospital?

Does he mind that I am so open about family matters?

Does my family "get it" with my blog?

Are we on our Second Honeymoon?

Answer:

MyHero is a chaplain at a local hospital.

(Married to a pastor-me-yeah-no one in my

family can believe it either) lol

He is used to me being open but there are

things that I don't talk about.

Some things are too private or too painful

so I leave those out.

He pretends to hate it when I make fun of him.

The truth is, if I don't tease him

he wonders if I am mad at him.

He is the straight man in my comedy act.

He is also the straight man in both of our son's comedy acts.

Our daughters are much nicer.

My family doesn't really GET IT with the blog

but I find it much more personal than 

Facebook where they have 5000 friends

and only KNOW 10 of them-snicker....

I KNOW my readers!

2nd Honeymoon?  Hmmm..that implies that we had

a FIRST honeymoon.  We never did.

Question:

Do you forgive easily?

Answer:

I never hold grudges. They would eat me up.

It takes A LOT to make me mad but  

when I have had enough I will 

LET SOMEONE KNOW.

TRUST ME ON THIS!

However, once I have had my say

I am over it and no longer angry about it.

If I struggle with forgiveness it would be with

someone that does the same awful thing 

over and over again.

Question:

What do I like best about myself?

Answer:

That I can roll with the punches and deal with

most things with a sense of humor.

Question:

If you could change one thing about the world

what would it be?

Answer:

That no one would have to suffer needlessly-

That no child would go to bed hungry or sick.

That those that need healing would be healed.

I guess that is more than one thing but they

all kind of tie together.

Question:

If you could spend one hour with any person

-living or dead-

Who would it be and why?

Answer:

My father.

He died when I was 21 and I never got to say Goodbye.

Question:

Someone asked me if I like light, fun blogs 

or ones that delved into real life problems.

Answer:

I like both.  It connects us when we are honest

and real because, let's face it, life is 

NOT always FUN.

I do think there is a fine line though between

sharing a problem/talking about life

and not falling into a pity party.

Illness, depression, divorce, death

all REAL problems to share.

There is a lessening of burden when it can 

be shared with others.

Okay- I think there will be one more day

of answers to

ASK ME ANYTHING

and then I'll move on.

Thanks for hanging in there.

Hanging?

Hope you haven't felt like 

HANGING yourself after all these

LONG posts!
