Monday MeMe Again

Here’s a new Monday Morning MeMe from Daughter #1’s blog Write From Karen. Thought I would share a little of myself to whomever is interested.

1. What did you do over the weekend? (Saturday and Sunday – be specific, please. Remember, this is a journal about your life, so, tell us about your life. *smile*)

I work in retail (Wal-Mart, to be specific) so that means, yeah, I work the weekends. Sat. was also my birthday. So after I got home from work, Hubby and I went to see #1 daughter for a nice visit. Then we went shopping for a new boom box that would hopefully record cassettes to CD’s. But, no luck.  Next was to eat supper, then a quick trip to the grocery store, then home. Since I got up at 3am to go in to work at 5am, I was zoning out at an accelerated rate. I was in bed by 7:30! Sunday was work again, then home by 3:00. I pretty much slept in my recliner all evening — not very productive, is it?  

2. Which are scarier to you: ghosts or aliens? Why? Do you believe in either/both? Why or why not?

The unknown is always a little scary, so both would be to me. I believe in God, the Devil, and Angels, so why wouldn’t ghosts be just as believable. I’ve heard and read about some strange happenings in my lifetime, and I’ve always tried to keep an open mind. So I’m open to whatever causes them to happen, whether we call them ghosts, spirits, or whatever. And who says ghosts have to be bad?

In the same respect, who am I to say that there couldn’t possibly be other lifeforms in the vast regions of outer space? And who says aliens would have to be bad?

3. I can’t live without my _________. Now, please tell us why you can’t live without it.

I can’t live without my crafts. I LOVE making things with my hands, be it creating something to wear, decorate the home, give a child as a gift, or whatever. It’s almost like a compulsion. I HAVE to make things. I remember as a child being fascinated watching Mom making something with a crochet hook and a ball of string, or my aunt’s fingers flying with the tatting shutter. I remember going to church bazaar’s and barely being tall enough to look over the tops of tables at all the beautiful items that people had made. I wanted to be able to do that! This is the passion in my life and so, yeah, I can’t imagine living my life without it.

4. What is the cheesiest movie you ever saw, and secretly enjoyed? Why did you enjoy it so much?

The ones that come to mind are the “Ernest” movies. Ernest Goes Camping, Ernest Joins the Army, Earnest Scared Stiff, etc. They really are cheesy, but in a funny, sweet way. Ernest is so innocent and genuinely caring, you can’t help but love him. My very favorite of all is “Ernest Saves Christmas”.
