Question 43 ~ Childhood slaves :)

Were you ever responsible for any chores?  What were they?

 I did a lot of chores when I was at home.  Me and my sister had to my dinner I think twice a week each.  I remember trying to be creative, but my cooking talents hadn't developed yet back then. I remember making pancakes one Sunday and the outsides looked great, the insides were not even done yet YUK.  I used to be so mad about having to cook, however, now I'm glad she had us do that because I know how to cook and people say I'm very good at it.  Also we had to take turns doing the dishes every other night.  I still hate washing dishes. 
We also had to clean the house...For a while there was a time my Mom came up with this idea.. where she got it I don't know.  Whoever got the house done first.. or did the most on the house got the bigger allowance.  I was NOT a morning person and liked to sleep in on the weekends.  So my sister would get up early and get the house finished.  Guess who didn't get much of an allowance every week.  Of coarse I complained constantly because I was doing the other chores I was supposed to do, and I couldn't help it if my sister had no life YADA YADA YADA and went to bed early (sorry sis!!) lol.  So she ended up stopping that deal.  We went back to sharing the work and our allowances went back to normal.  Looking back we did a lot of work around the house.  Cleaning, cooking, dishes, yard work.  When my sister move out though things sort of changed, and I really only did the dishes and help clean a little on weekends, but I did have to do my own laundry (sometimes)  I guess when I became the only child I became spoiled .. only for a short time though.  The whip began to crack again the more I started to take advantage of it.  Oh well, it was sweet for a bit.

question 42 ~ getting together w/family

Tell about Family reunions:

  We didn't start having family reunions for a long time.  Then finally my mother started to put one together about 7 years ago. After being at my aunts funeral and running into the caretaker of the apartment complex I lived in, we both walked up to each other and said "what are you doing here?" and saying at the same time.. This is my aunt's funeral"  turned out we were cousins and didn't know it.  It was odd because we were all having to introduce ourselves to each other (cousins and that).  We had them for about 3 years.  They were fun.  We'd meet at the park for rolls and coffee, I never showed up until later... but the older people did to save the spots (which I found odd since we reserved them anyway)  We'd have adult games, and kids games.. sack races, three legged races, egg tosses (usually kids paired up with their parents so we could actually egg our parents lol)  it was a lot of fun. We'd swim and play volley ball, by the end of the evening we'd be pretty much grouped off, some playing cards, other's laying in on blankets and talking some dancing.. a lot of us a little tipsy.  It was good while it lasted... But it ended up where one or two people had to do all the work and we stopped having them. 
I have family day now about once every two month but just immediate family.  I don't put any demands on people (which my mother does try to interfere in that lol) .. I do cards, have movie/pizza, game nights, bowling, softball is coming up, and we are planning on going to the twins game in June... it's sort of a come if you want thing no pressure. Little mini family reunions. I started this after my brother died because I want my family to stay close.  And have some fun, and always remember each other without the big old drama of the holidays only.  Guess I got off track here...

Question 41 ~ Favorite....

What is your favorite scripture and why?
   I thought I would change up the ? for anyone
   who isn't very religious or would just rather 
   answer a different questions: You can answer
   either or both if you wish.
What is your favorite inspirational saying and why?
  
I have two favorite scriptures although I'm not very religious anymore, I feel I'm more spiritual .. and to me there is a difference.
     

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
and
Hebrew 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
These are my favorites because they give me comfort and I think they sort of speak for themselves where that is concerned.

Question 40 ~ Lets eat!

Where do you eat out and what do you order?

Well, I don't have just one place I like to eat.  It usually depends on my mood.  I will crave seafood, and depending on what, like if it's shrimp there is this great place downtown called the Criteria (sp?) that I love.  If it's crab legs then it's Joe's crab shack.  If I want a streak, I love going to this place called the steak house, or cattle company.  So it's always different depending on what I'm hungry for.  Also if someone asks me out and wants something different or wants to take me to a certain place then the choice is that persons.  I know some people that have one place they always go to, that's just not who I am.  I like to go where my stomach wants to go. I don't eat out much anymore for many different reason.

Question 39 ~ Movies

What do you think about movies and why?

I love movies, most movies.  I enjoy going to movies, but I usually wait for them to come out on DVD.. It's hard for me to concentrate at the movie theater. I really love the movie theater popcorn though.. that's one reason to go out to the movies lol.
Some movies amaze me, how they do the special affects, some movies scare me so I can never watch them alone. Some have me walking away with my head shaking... but there is always talent involved in any movie.... (except that movie "that darn cat" lol) Movies can take me away from my reality so I like that.  I like to watch documentaries also, keeps me learning.  I just don't seem to have as much time as I used to.  I have one of those online movie accounts, I've had the same three movies sitting here waiting for me to watch.  Good thing there isn't a late charge.
