KNOWLEDGE

and there you have it. I hope everyone has a great day.

The six newest questions.

Well we've been tagged again, this time by Mrs. Julie and you know me I couldn't resist the urge to respond to questions no matter how hard they seem to be.

1. What was your most embarrassing moment? When I vomited all over the eye doctor's bathroom here in town several years ago. I didn't feel well and went looking for the restroom which I found a little too late. ( right room, wrong target) ( I still feel embarrassed when I go there)

2. When you go to heaven some day, what is one question you would like to ask God? I never thought about it, I figured it would be God asking the questions and me giving the answers.

3. What is your favorite color? Blue

4. What is your favorite food? I love McMuffins,and steak tacos, okay I admit it, I like steak the best of all food.

5. What do you admire most about your husband? His gentleness and Patience.

6. What is your biggest fear or phobia? That my children will turn out like me, and live a life with depression.

7 random things

This was something Kina tagged us with a while ago, and I see that piratically everyone has responded, so here goes the 7 things you might not know about me.

1. I have never flown. ( too many horror stories and too many airplane movies)

2. I went to 1st Baptist Church of Hammond when I was little- when I lived in Chicago but didn't get saved then.

3. After my marriage in 1991, I lost my dad, I got burned by an oven accident, and had my appendix removed ( all this in 2 months and I'm still married!!)

4. I wrote poetry when I was a young adult ( I plan to share them, one day)

5. I am quick w/ the temper ( only in some cases)

6. I worry & complain about almost everything
( I'm getting better at not worrying about so much)

7. I met my hubby in a tavern in Lyons in 1990 while looking for my dad.

might like it.

I'M A MANDARIN

You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.
Your scores: -Talent: 38%Lifer: 51%Mandarin: 62% Take the Talent, Lifer, or Mandarin quiz
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got this goofy quiz off of Karen (Kare Bear)'s blog and thought it was right on target. I must confess I did it several times but it still comes back to this. While I do believe education is very important, I also believe in having and maintaining a relationship with God and having a prayer life. I might have worked hard- to get where I am but it was by the Lord's Grace and the support of a large family that I made it this far.

THANK YOU GOD FOR PROVIDING ME WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE. Love , Kim
