Road Trippin’

You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

If I were going on a cross country trip, I would use a couple modes of transport- an airplane, train and car.

I think I would start off in a car, then a train and finally an airplane.

Tattoos

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

If I were to get a tattoo, I would get a beautifully done Calla Lily as it was both my mom’s and husband’s favorite flower, one of them at least. The other flower my husband loved was a sunflower, and the other for my mother was carnations. I also think of getting a calla lily and a sunflower, then maybe sprinkle carnation petals around it.

Decisions, decisions. 🙂

My mom passed away when I was 4 and my husband passed away 20 years ago in November 2025.

I am a type two diabetic and they don’t look fondly on tattoos, so I’m a little bit not sure still if I should get one.

The Best Compliment

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

It was a bit backhanded but I took it anyway. Since I was a young, I wanted to get into radio broadcasting, aka a DJ. I was a fan girl of several LA DJ’s and got autographed pictures of them. I didn’t have the support I wanted from my dad or stepmom, so I didn’t fulfill this dream, however, as an adult working at an answering service in my 20’s, a customer told me, “You give good phone, you should be on the radio.” I was embarrassed, but appreciated the compliment. 🙂

My Autobiography

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

Growing up, on the outside seemed idyllic, you know, playing with neighborhood friends, riding our bikes all over, playing Kick the Can in the street, tag, kickball, dodgeball, the all American apple pie stuff, until the street lights came on, or we heard our Dad’s distinct whistle letting us know it was time to get our asses home.

My Perfect Space

You get to build your perfect space for reading and writing. What’s it like?

My perfect space would be like a little nook in my room, or add on to the house. I don’t really know what total silence is anymore, but to have a killer nook carved out, with a coffee pot close by would be just perfect to me!

Playtime

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

I have been up since 5:15am. I’m exhausted right now, but my play comes babysitting my granddaughter the past two weeks. She cracks me up and we just have a good time.

When I’m done babysitting, I will either go to my room and chill or go to my fiancés house, relax and ask about his day.

If I go to my room, sometimes I’ll just chill and rest or I’ll scroll, or I’ll watch tv while I clean my room, or just do whatever I want to, or not. I got 3 books for Christmas and I really want to start reading them.

It’s been raining so I haven’t really gone outside to do what I need to, but that time is coming.

Great question!

What’s My Favorite…

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Since I’m still a kid at heart and like to be silly, I do really like SpongeBob Square Pants. I also like whatever my 18 month old Granddaughter likes, LOL. We act silly together :-D.

Favorite Games

What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

I LOVE The Sims Free play. I don’t play it very often because it’s so time consuming but it’s fun when I do.

My favorite games growing up were the Game of Life and Monopoly. I also loved Clue.

I love playing Go Fish in card games, as well as Solitaire, War and Slap Jack.

Preference

Dogs or cats?

I prefer cats, but I like dogs too. We have a Belgian Malinois/shepherd mix and while she drives me crazy, she’s a cute, sweet dog. She’s actually my daughter’s dog.

We have a cat, she’s just over 13 yrs old and once she passes, I won’t get another pet.

Sleep

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Well, since I ride the school bus in the morning, currently, I wake up at 4:30am. I give myself time to have breakfast, shower, do whatever I can in the morning, then get to the transportation yard before 7am when our bus leaves. I usually try to go to bed by 9pm, sometimes I make it, sometimes I don’t, LOL.

On weekends, it’s a free for all until Sunday night.
