Now I think I have figured out what a meme is, and it looks like fun. So here goes!
From Curious as a Cat
1) If you spoke English with an accent other than the one you currently have, how would you chose to sound?
I'd go back to my original one. I was born in Mississippi and I miss the sign of my heritage. Dorky I know but true.
2) Be honest: how do you feel about people who smoke?
It really doesn't bother me unless they get uppity about putting it out around sick people. I guess that's because I used to smoke.
3) Whose death touched your own sense of mortality the most?
My maternal grandmother. She died when my mom was just 6 so I never met her but her loss has had a profound effect on my family. I look at my own kids differently, knowing I have already had more time with my oldest than she had with Mom. I also take things Mom says with a grain of salt now that I know more of how losing her mother wounded her.
4) What has been the most difficult promise you have ever kept? Why?
Breaking the cycle of abuse and addiction in my family. I have always promised myself, "It ends with me." but never really realized how easy it is to just "do what you know" once you have your own kids. I think 4+ years of therapy, Jesus, and Mr. P. are the only things that have enabled me to keep my promise.
5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.
(it's a pic of a tree with cicadas in it)
Hmmm, bug spray?
BTW, this one was for last week but I loved the questions. I have a feeling I'll be doing this more often. Thanks Cat!
Til next squeak,

Thanks for playing! This week's questions went up late because I forgot--Easter messed with my head.
--Cat.
(There's a joke here somewhere about cats and mice, but I'm too tired to find it. hee)
I'm sure we can come up with one somewhere down the line. LOL!
Happy belated Easter! It messed with my sense of time as well.
