PromoGuy's Monday Mission

1. Have you ever given someone a present you just KNEW would be "da bomb" and when they opened it you could tell they just hated it? What's the story there?

No, not that I can think of. I actually prefer to not be in the room, just in case they don't like it!

2. What do you do that you would prefer that Mother never finds out about?

Well, if I told, she might find out!

3. Ever get in any arguments with your mother? What was one of the worst?

Of course. Don't all mothers and daughters argue? Probably the worst was over a boyfriend I had in high school. The one I remember most was when I committed "forgery" on a school paper. She broke the pepper shaker she was so upset! But hey, I was in 3rd or 4th grade, I didn't know what I was doing.

4. When was the last time someone special hurt your feelings? Did you tell them or keep it to yourself?

Not going there.

5. Has your mother ever laid any guilt trips on you or made you feel like you can't do something good enough?

Guilt trip, definitely, she's famous for it! Like, just this weekend; we live a few hundred miles away from each other amd I couldn't just "hop" on over to see her for Mother's Day. :)

Made me feel like I'm not good enough? Never.

6. Looking back on your life, was there ever a point you see as the "crossroads" where you made a decision(s) that changed the course of your life? A path you did not take? What was that path, and do you ever daydream about what your life would have been like on the "road not taken?" Tell me about that.

I can't really think of one particular instance that changed the course of my life, I think it's just a combination of a lot of different decisions. But sure, there have been decisions I've made that make me wonder how things would be now if I had gone the other way. But I don't regret them; reminisce and wonder, sure, but not regret.

7. That was an awesome picnic basket you put together, let's stroll out by the lake as the sun sets. A cool breeze blows off the lake as the orange and red reflects off the ripples in the water. I can tell something is on your mind and I ask you. You think about how to reply but finally you say ...

Um...umm...right now, honestly, the only thing on my mind is, when is lunch?

BONUS: What do you think will come of that? I will finish these questions and eat! :)
