1. What's a word that describes your life? A word you wish described your life?

The word that describes my life right now is Drama. A word I wish described my life is Joyful

2. Back in my day we__________?

Played outside until after dark and we didn't need to lock the doors. My mother didn't even know where we were most of the time and she didn't have to worry about that. 

3. When it comes to takeout are you more likely to opt for Italian, Mexican, or Chinese food? Does a typical week at your house include takeout?

No a typical week does not include takeout. If we happen to get takeout that would most likely be Five Guys and that would be only a handful of times in a year. 

I did pick up Chinese food on Valentine's Day from a fine dining restaurant because I was going to be in the area of where it was located. 

4. Think about the people you most respect. What is it about them that earned your respect?

That would be someone who doesn't judge you and loves you for who you are. 

5. What's something your friends might see and say is 'so you'?

Most likely that would be a photo of a giraffe because they know how much I love them. 

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

I could have written any one of these answers. Drama and joy were good choices. Those work for me too.

Those were truly the good ole days... can you imagine letting our kids run the streets now days and not worrying about where they were? *sigh* Love the dyed eggs!

MadSnapper said...

brahaha on Tramp. love it.... we do take out everyother week, burgers, deli sub or Salems fish for me and Philly cheese for bob. twice a month, but just started that a couple months ago. we pretty much gave up eating anything from outside for a year.. i would prefer anything and everything to be cooked by someone else though.
sorry about the drama part. did not know you love giraffes. my thing is anything with 4 legs and fur, which would include giraffes.. LOL

Julie said...

I remember those days, playing outside and going everywhere without a care in the world. Love the cartoon!

Hi,
You have the best randoms .. HA!
That is neat that you like giraffes. My mom collects pigs. We gave her the cutest pig coin purse for Mother's Day.
Have a blessed Easter,
Carla

Hoping for less drama, more peace in your life very soon. I think kids can still feel carefree as long as parents shield them from so much of the ugly going on in the world/media. That doesn't always happen because we seem to live in a society where 'airing it all all the time' is a thing. Happy Easter to you!

Cathy said...

I love good Chinese, but unfortunately most of our Chinese restaurants for take-out in the area are not very good. We keep trying to find one though. lol

Love your random.

Cranberry Morning said...

Cute cartoon! I too love Chinese, but I get a three-day headache from it, so I avoid it. I hope life settles down and brings you joy. And now when I see a photo of giraffes, I'll think of you! Aren't they amazing creatures! Have a blessed Easter.

Those were the days...playing outside without fear, and not worrying about locking doors. My grandchildren will never know them :(

I hope your drama turns to joy!

Have a blessed and happy Easter! Love your random thought :)

Lots of questions... thanks for sharing! Happy Easter to you! Leticia

Mara said...

The word that describes me right now? Well, it would be several really: mayhem, nerves, tearing hair out and WHY???? What I would like it to be: YES, I did it. Again!

Chatty Crone said...

Check out the dye job - cheap! cute
I was hoping your life would not be described as drama now,
It seems like another life time ago but even I used to play outside all day - kids don't do that anymore.
Love, sandie

Unknown said...

I remember playing outside till it was dark as well. My partents didn't know where I was or even cared because they knew if I was acting up some other parent would yell at me. we were all safe from harm . Loved your answers. Have a wonderful Easter.

That's a great response to the "Respect" question, Debby! You're the second soul to mention Chinese take-out tonight; now I'm craving it but really don't have a clue which direction to go. This (new community) is going to be a big learning experience!

Love Of Quilts said...

Good read! Cute eggs, judgemental old helfers aren't they or just jealous. lol

Life SPW said...

I hope that you life trends away from the drama and towards the joyful.
When I was a child I was pretty much a "free range" child. I was allowed to run amok throughout the neighborhood and beyond. Somehow, I survived and oh the adventures I had.
A Giraffe is a majestic animal. I see the attraction. I laughed when I saw your random thought. Too funny!
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Have a joyful and blessed Easter.

Lea @ CiCis Corner said...

Well, I too hope the drama turns to joyful very soon. Wishing you a most joyful Easter weekend!

Pam said...

Great answers. Giraffes are so neat. It amazes me how tall they are and they walk with such grace. Loving the random thought photo.....haha, that is so cute. Hoping that the drama in your life is smoothing out to be nothing but a small set back.

Lisa @ Two Bears Farm said...

Wishing you more joy and less drama!

Secret Agent Woman said...

The cartoon made me laugh.

Your answer to 2 reminded me of the time we had a problem with the front door and took it off to be fixed. We lived way back in the woods and I don't think the door even had a lock on it anyway but because my stepfather always procrastinated on repairs, we went without a front door for months! Not once did any of us worry about it.
