It's late, but here's PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.19:
1. Have you ever given someone a present you just KNEW would be "da bomb" and when they opened it you could tell they just hated it? What's the story there?
Steven used to not like the shirts and ties I bought him, but I never thought they were "da bomb." Mostly, any gift that I thought was "da bomb," has been. I'm usually a good gift giver.
2. What do you do that you would prefer that Mother never finds out about?
Well, since she reads my blog (Hi, Mom!), it would be silly to post it here, wouldn't it?
3. Ever get in any arguments with your mother? What was one of the worst?
We argued a lot when I was an angry teenager, but I can't remember one that was too too bad.
4. When was the last time someone special hurt your feelings? Did you tell them or keep it to yourself?
Today and I told them.
5. Has your mother ever laid any guilt trips on you or made you feel like you can't do something good enough?
My brother broke my digital camera when I loaned it to him a couple of weeks ago and my mom was telling me not to "harass" him about it.
6. Looking back on your life, was there ever a point you see as the "crossroads" where you made a decisions that changed the course of your life? A path you did not take? What was that path, and do you ever daydream about what your life would have been like on the "road not taken?" Tell me about that.
Dating my ex-fiance and becoming so serious about someone while I was in high school was a huge turning point in my life. I probably would have gone away to school, would have gone to graduate school in psychology, and wouldn't have a terrible credit rating. I don't daydream, however, about not taking that road because I learned a lot (the hard way, unfortunately) and I think I am ultimately a better person for it.
7. That was an awesome picnic basket you put together, let's stroll out by the lake as the sun sets. A cool breeze blows off the lake as the orange and red reflects off the ripples in the water. I can tell something is on your mind and I ask you. You think about how to reply but finally you say...
"I wish I could swim."
BONUS: What do you think will come of that?
Hopefully, what I want.
