We Want to Know Wednesday #5

It's We Want to Know Wednesday time!  Hosted by:
Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi and Seriously Shawn

{1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be?

I've always thought it would be cool to be invisible.  Sneak up on the bad guys and strike when they least expect it.

Or do a little "eavesdropping".  Whatever the case may be. 

{2} What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars, tomorrow?

A brand new car.  I've never had a new car.  Only used.  I want something new.  With all the gadgets.  Not sure what model.  But can I get that in say, purple?

{3} What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up?

The Internet!!!  Did you read about my 7 hours of hell last week?

{4} If you were given a choice between being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose?




Well, since I was just awarded a million dollars in #2, which should cover me for a while, I'll go with great wisdom.  I could definitely use it.  With a teen and a pre-teen, I need some help.  Not to mention my own issues! 

{5} If you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days what 5 THINGS would you pack?




Wow, 100 days!  That's longer than survivor!  Let's see, these are probably lame but some of the first things coming to mind are:

• my camera, I'm sure I could find something to photograph
• sunglasses, because when I picture deserted island I picture sunny and I don't do sun without sunglasses
• a blanket...or my snuggy!  Because even though it's sunny I'm sure it gets cool at night
• Books, I'm sure I'd have plenty of time to read!
• CHOCOLATE!  I cannot go 100 days without it. 

Obviously I'm not thinking practical!  LOL  I'm thinking comfort and not being bored. to. death.  

I guess 22 seasons of survivor have taught me nothing! 

I'm not cut out for this!

I'm teaching my teen to drive.  

I'm afraid for my life.

Seriously.  She's already cutoff a semi truck and taken the turn into her friends driveway at 40 mph, missing the driveway completely, driving over the lawn and narrowly missing a huge tree!  Luckily her friend lives in a more rural area than us and has a big yard and plenty of room.  

Good thing her chickens weren't out in the yard.  That sounds strange doesn't it?  I never thought I'd be saying that sentence.

Who says 15 1/2 is old enough to learn to drive? 

Wasn't my husband suppose to take on this responsibility?  I want out!


And there's people out there that do this for a living.  Why?



 

We Want to Know Wednesday

Time for We Want to Know Wednesday again!  Be sure to visit the hosts of our show:
Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi and Seriously Shawn

This week the questions come from Janette


{1}What game show have you always thought you could be on and totally WIN!
I've always liked watching game shows!

There's a few I think it would be cool to be on.  Like Cash Cab.  But WIN?  I don't know.  Probably Wheel of Fortune.

{2}Do you have a tattoo(s)? What are they and what made you chose them? If not, would you get one, yes/no/why?
I don't have any....yet.  I've been considering it for a couple years now.  I was originally planning for it to be a 40th bday present for myself but that never happened.  I'm not sure where I want it (but if going to go through the pain and trouble I want to be able to see it!) and the only tattoo parlor I've been in I've felt out of place so that's what's been stopping me.  Oh and the cost.

I kind of have an idea of some things I want it to have but I'd need someone to design it for me.  I want to work in either my kids names or birthdays, our anniversary and photography.  I had been thinking of doing either a shutter or a film strip with the numbers along the edge.  I also wanted it to say f11 somewhere since my bday is in November. 



{3}What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?
My wedding rings.  That's about the only thing I wear consistently.

{4}What is your driving pet peeve(s) 
One of my biggest ones is people who don't put their blinker on until they are already in the left turn lane or half way into the intersection!  At that point why bother?

{5}What was your favorite sitcom growing up that you wish was still on?
Is the Dukes of Hazzard considered a sitcom?  

That was always one of my favorite shows.  Brings back good family memories.  Friday night was pizza and Dukes night. 

I loved me some Bo Duke!

7 hours is too long

Panic attack caused by lack of internet access

Symptoms include but are not limited to:

• Clammy palms
• Sweating 
• The Shakes
• Twitching
•  Pacing 
• Upset stomach 
• Jitters 
• Irritability
• Obsessively checking and re-checking your router and internet connection status 
• Uncontrollable sobbing
• Frantically driving to Best Buy with laptop in tow to consult with the Geek Squad
• Rushing home to install new wireless USB adapter
• Frantically calling Geek Squad back when still unable to connect
• Shirking all other responsibilities until you have internet!

Seven hours later my laptop is back up and connecting to the internet.  

I feel much better.
