Monday Morning

Join us over at "Write from Karen"
April 14th Questions:

1. If you had one week to do anything you wanted, unlimited means to do so, what are some of the things you would try to do?

I would take all the means and pay off our mortgage completely. Then I would board the dogs at a kennel and take the family to Disney Land and to the San Diego area. We would play and laugh together. Then we would come home and decide if we are really going to move or not. Having the mortgage not be a factor anymore.

2. What’s the last thing you bought for yourself? Do you buy yourself things very often? If you were rich, would you buy yourself things more often? Why or why not?

Friday Evening I went out with a friend and got a cute top for $7. and then a t shirt Cammi to go under it for $5. It is very cute. I wore it to the pick nick on Saturday and felt beautiful. I do not often buy things for myself due to budget. If I were rich I would not change too much I think but I would exchange my clothes that are baggy mom t-shirts for a more age appropriate design that I felt pretty in. I think I would have more fun giving and sharing though.

3. When was the last time you sang? What did you sing? Do you ever sing in front of people? Why or why not? Does your significant other sing well? If you were (are) a good singer and it was financially within your means to do so, would you ever consider auditioning for American Idol?

I sang this morning in church. I sang a worship song. I once (years ago) sang in a choir for the large company that we were laid off from. I also sang for a choir at the church where I met my husband some 26 years ago. I do not sing any more due to the loss of my voice after I had a radical hysterectomy, my clear soprano voice cracked and I can no longer hold key. I took lessons at a college but I was too attached to the song (Places I remember" by the Beatles and I lost the words in a panic. That rehearsal was my last performance.

My Husband used to play guitar and sing. He is a John Denver type singer I love his voice. I would not audition.

4. If you found $1000 dollars in an unmarked wallet on the street, what would you do? Be specific. Don’t just say, “keep it,” Or “turn it in.” WHY would you keep it? HOW would you turn it in? (And if you turned it in, would you follow up to see if anyone claimed it later?)

I would make a poster did you loose something please call and tell me what it was... If no one called or inquired of it It would be kept. If it were called and identified I would gladly give it to the owner. It would be more important to do what was right. I could not feel free to keep it unless I tried to find the owner. This just happened with a diamond ring on my hand tonight. We had it tested and it is not a real diamond. I still tried to find the owner on Creigs list.
