Monday Mission
Sunny days, everything a-ok, will you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
1. As a child, did you ever wish you had a different name, maybe a name you wish your parents had chosen? To what would change it if you could?
No, which I find odd because I would imagine myself to be someone else. Someone who was more elegant, smarter or prettier then I. Someone who was more popular, more agile and capable of speaking eloquently. Who didn't stumble over words. Through out all my imaginings, no matter whom I made believe I was the name my mother gave me has always stuck. Granted it has been shortened by myself, easier to pronounce that way. There are several names I do love, Mirie and Anushka are a two. [Maybe one day I'll have daughters and can use those names then.]
2. What skill have you been wanting to learn but have just kept putting off?
So many. I would love to learn some woodworking and there are some more computer programs I would love to pick up as well as some languages. [Spanish is one of them]
3. Are there any regional foods you love but just can't get where you are living now? (burger chain, ice cream shop, etc. that was in your hometown but has no locations where you are today)
Nope. Lucky enough to live in a city that has pretty much all the food that I love. Ok, with the exception of Peri-peri, a hot sauce which I haven't been able to find here, yet.
4. What recreational activity would you take up if you had the time and/or money?
There are three. The first is flying. I would love to get my pilot's license, both my private and commercial license and then go onto hydroplanes. The second is sailing. I have always loved the ocean and would love to relearn how to sail. The last time I sailed I was twelve. It's been over a decade since I have had a chance to glide on water. The third is being able to do more camping/hiking and climbing. I miss being outdoors. I miss waking up near a lake as the sun rises and the campfire is lightly smoking. Don't have enough time or money to do that right now.
5. What's the biggest lie you've ever told? Has anybody ever found out?
That would be telling now wouldn't it? Though in all honesty, I haven't really told any huge honking lies in my life.
6. What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon when you were growing up?
There was the Bugs Bunny show [I miss that show], The Fantastic Four, The Jetsons, The Thunderbirds, The Hannah-Barbara Show [Yogi Bear] Fat Albert, X-Men, Spiderman and and His Amazing Friends, [that was a great show] The Gummy bears. I wasn't a fan of the Smurfs. Then there was the Transformers and GI Joe on weekday afternoons. Later on there was Reboot.
7. Let's say one of your relatives slipped you a $100 bill, to help you out for the month. Your significant other didn't see it, would you tell them or keep it to yourself?
Tell them. I enjoy sharing things with the person I love.
BONUS: Whatever happened to Saturday night? [blank look]
It became a night of drunken debauchery?
