Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
Back in 2010, blogger Nigel Vanstone from Away from a Bit asked his
readers this series of questions. He said he was tagged by another, unnamed
blogger. But I'm not tracing it back any further. Nigel Vanstone is a cool
name, and that's enough for me.
10 Questions with Nigel
1. What's your life's motto? My boss is always reminding me to "err on the side of grace." I think that would make a good life motto.
2. Where were you living 13 years ago? We were living in a house a few miles from where we live now. We bought it new when our kids were about 5 years old - right before they started kindergarten. We bought this house in 2014. It, too, was new.
3. Is anyone jealous of you? I seriously doubt it!
4. Where were you when you heard about the 9/11 terror attacks? I was on the treadmill at the gym. I remember stepping off the treadmill and walking over to the TV. Everyone in the gym did the same thing. We saw the second tower fall and we were all in shock. I remember walking out to my car and driving home . . .and not wanting to leave! I was so glad when the kids and Mark were at home that night and we were all together.
5. Do you consider yourself kind? I hope I'm kind. I definitely want to be kind.
6. Can you change your car's oil? I have never changed the oil in my car. I guess if I watched a Youtube video . . .I could change it. I hope I never have to change it.
7. What's the last thing you heard about your first love? Y'all . . .that was so long ago! I had some crushes but I guess my first love was my first husband. We were married for about 18 months when I was 18 years old. I feel like I'm telling a story about someone else - wow! He died of AIDS after we were divorced.
8. Have you ever been burned by love? The divorce I mentioned in #7 was very tough. In hindsight, I'm so thankful we didn't have kids or very many assets. I met and married Mark when I was almost 26.
9. What was the last thing you paid for with cash? I bought a diet pepsi at a gas station a few weeks ago and paid cash.
10. Do you hug your friends? I hug my close friends.
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
I have never lived in a new house, I just realized. The one we're in now which we bought in 2000 was bult in the 1920s!
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteLife's moto: To be of help to others and not be of any problem to others.
On 9/11, I was at home, since it was my day off. A friend called to tell me about the tragedy. And then I switched on the TV.
No I haven't changed the car's oil. I doubt it I can, unless someone tells me how to do that.
Just today I paid with cash at a store since the amount was a round figure, and the store keeper asked me if I could pay by cash, since he was running out of it. He would need to go the cash machine to take it. So, I paid by cash, since I had cash with me.
I hug just a couple of my friends. Not all.
"Err on the side of grace" is a good motto.
ReplyDeleteI love that life motto! Such wise words!
ReplyDeleteInteresting questions! I may have to rethink not blogging on Sundays and check out Stealing again. I enjoyed my visit here! Have a blessed week ahead!!
ReplyDeleteThe answers to #3 make me smile. None of us believes anyone is jealous of us! Does that mean that we bloggers hang around with loving and mature people? Or that we don't realize how cool and wonderful we are and just don't see that we are the envy of the planet? ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm divorced too and it was really tough to go through. But it was almost 30 years ago and I have been happy since. It must have been really tough to see 9/11 in America itself. It was a truly tragic day.
ReplyDeleteCheers
