Saturday 9: I'm So Excited

  

1. What was the last event or situation that got you really excited?

It's honestly been a while since I've been truly excited about anything. It's been so long that I can't even remember!  I'm looking forward to school starting. I'm looking forward to the fall coming. But real excitement - not so much.

 

2. How old were you when you started working and what was your first job?

I was 14 and worked for some summer job program for poor kids. I was placed in our local district court helping out in the judges lobby and probation office.

 

3. Tell us about your grandparents.

My Father's parents: I never met my grandfather. They were divorced many years before I was born. But My grandmother and I were very close. She lived next door to us and I spent a lot of time with her. She played games with me. We watched TV. Read books. She made me open faced toasted cheese sandwiches. She died when I was 16. I was absolutely devastated.
My mother's parents: They are both dead as well but I was able to grow up with them. My grandmother spent her last few years in a nursing home that I hated so I never went. My grandfather worked for Revere Copper and Brass. To this day, my favorite cookware are the old Revere pots & pans. They lived in a triple decker in the city and the place always smelled like Lysol. Grandpa drank

Narragansett beer and always gave me the bottle cap with the puzzle on it.

4. Do you procrastinate or are you usually on top of situations?

Both. I try to stay on top of things but I do procrastinate about a lot as well. If I am anxious about something, I tend to put things off as long as I can.

 

5. What would others say about you?

That I am quiet. Strong. Creative. Organized.
Ha!

 

6. Do you believe in life on other planets?

I believe it's crazy to think that we are the only ones out there. There is so much we don't know about space -  It may not be life as we know it - but yes, I believe there are other forms of life.

 

7. When was the last time that you were called too thin?
HA HA HA HA HAAAA

 

8. Do you work out? Have you ever joined a gym and quit almost immediately?
I do not currently work out. I did join a gym many years ago and went for maybe 6 months. I refuse to pay for a gym membership when I can get up and walk around the neighborhood for free.

9. Do you feel that you utilize all your intelligence in every situation?

For the most part, yes. It can be hard when I am very nervous or intimidated but in general - yes, I do.
