MMoM

I never seem to make this one on time. But it’s a fun meme and I’d hate to miss it.

Questions for this week:

1. What is your favorite kind of pie?
2. Have you ever run out of gas in the car you were driving?
3. How many languages do you speak?
4. Do you take daily vitamins?
5. What is your worst eating habit?


1. What is your favorite kind of pie?

Any! LOL. Although I don’t like coconut and lemons. I’d say my favorite… might be…. well, raspberry. YUM. Every year, the children go out and pick berries, and carefully save them in a freezer bag in the freezer. It’s usually too hot to bake pies during the humid New York summers, but as soon as the weather turns cooler, I take the berries out of the freezer and make a pie. It’s usually our first pie of the season. And we only get ONE every year, so it’s pretty special.

2. Have you ever run out of gas in the car you were driving?
Once. In traffic near a WalMart complex (so traffic was thick as flies on molasses). The gas gauge on our old minivan didn’t work correctly- we used a mathematical formula (miles per gallon and how many miles we’d traveled) to keep track of the gas amount. Well, my dear Hubs made an error in his calculations, and when I went to go to WalMart, the van quit in heavy traffic. Unfortunately, the drivers were so rude; they started honking at me, even though I put my hazard lights on, and hopped out of the van to push it over to the curb. One wonderful angel of a young lady stopped to help me push the van over to the gas station (about 200 yards away). The men drivers honked and roared on by as we two ladies towed a van. :( Oh well. I was so thankful for that lady. God bless her.

3. How many languages do you speak?

Oh dear! I speak English (obviously, lol) but I took FOUR years of Spanish in school and I barely remember it! However, I love languages, so I have dabbled in Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Russian, French, etc. If you know a little bit of Latin, you can untangle Spanish, French, and Italian without too much effort. Ben Franklin taught himself languages- he started with Latin, and the European languages came easy after that. But although I have interest is many other languages, I have mastered none. I even wonder if my English is up to par, lol. My Hubs lived in Iran for a few years, and he knows some Farsi (Persian), which I think is so cool!

4. Do you take daily vitamins?
No. :oops: I know I should! I need to take iron because I struggle with anemia. And doing the house renovation really pooped me out. I have lost a lot of hair from the massive overwork and stress, and my skin is in bad shape right now. Now that I am older, I am suffering the effects of a lifetime of very hard work. I am slooooowly starting to consciously do things to improve my health.

I really do need to apply myself to take care of myself better. But I’ve never been very good at it at all. My kids are helping me remember, but I’m still not consistent.

5. What is your worst eating habit?
Chicken wings. Fatty, greasy, caloric, spicy, delicious, exquisite, WONDERFUL things, yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :jittery: They are so bad for me. But I love them.
