Share Your World – 2016 Week 34

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world which may not always match our reality.

What is your favorite comfort snack food?

CHOCOLATE!!

Is the paper money in your possession right now organized sequentially according to denomination and with the bills right side up and facing the same way?

Yes! Nerd City! LOL!! 🙂

If you were a mouse in your house in the evening, what would you see your family doing?

Being that my family is my cat Sylvester. (My brother Stephen does not live with me.) And Sylvester is a Mouser Extraordinaire that would be one Dead Mouse!! Be it Chuck E. Cheese, Mickey, Minnie or Mighty Mouse (which are nothing but glorified rats to me!) I’d be playing Taps for the mouse before evening became morning.

Would you rather not be able to read or not be able to speak?

Speak. Reading is my Life. Anyway technology exists for people with brain damage, damaged or non-working voice boxes that enables them to speak.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I will use a modified Facebook post to declare my Gratitude and Appreciation!!

First reason for my Love of my Dresses: The Visitors/Public often mistake me for a man. At least once or twice a week museum visitors address me as Sir or Mr. ???? Sometimes instead of the pants I’ll wear the skirt so they will at least see me as female not male.

Why do I Love wearing dresses?! Because of all the Lovely compliments. Usually many of my co-workers are only used to seeing me in my rather drab ugly uniform. This morning I ran into male co-worker at the local deli not far from our workplace. He had such nice things to say about my dress and about how much better it looked than the uniform! LOL! I just felt so happy and the good feeling stayed with me all day! For women our uniforms make us look like Charlie Chaplin! Yes Dresses are much much better. Makes me feel so feminine. Singing the song, “I feel Pretty! Oh So Pretty!” LOL!!

Another male Co-worker complimented me either Friday or Saturday at work. It felt so good to hear his wonderful words. At least I know I’m not a total dork or nerd. It does not matter how old you get as a Woman you still want to hear from Men that you look good. Especially now that I’m in my late 50s I really appreciate those special uplifting words from men of all races.

I’m also grateful that Thursday I was able to attend the annual Union Basketball game. Free pizza and chicken. Nothing like seeing our guys get down on the Basketball court!! A great time was had by all!

As for next week I look forward to my weekend which is Sunday/Monday. Rest, Sleep & Relaxation.

Share Your World – 2016 Week 33

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world which may not always match our reality.

Would you travel into outer space?

No!! Never!! Terrified of heights. Bad back! Bad stomach. Poor digestion. Barf City!! Ugh!!

Which country/city in the world (that you have never been to) would you most like to visit and why?

London. Would like to visit The British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum and the Tate Modern.

What could you do to breath more deeply today?

Not much. New York is having a heat wave. It’s been 100 degrees for the last several days. I’ve already taken two showers and am trying to stay inside with both the fan and AC going. Drinking ice water. Breathing techniques have never worked for me. Meditation and mindfullness do nothing for me. I’m probably the only person alive who has been going to a Buddhist Temple for five years with little or No effect! I’m extremely high strung, nervous and have a lot of anxiety. That’s just the way I am. However if somebody would give me $50,000 so I could take off work for six months I’d be very happy!

Complete this sentence: This creamy peanut butter sandwich could really use some …

Jelly.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Grateful that last weekend I got to spend time with my brother Stephen. Also met up with a friend that I had not seen in a long time.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to anything this week. Just hope that I make it through the workweek. My job is very stressful.

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

Are you left or right handed?

Right Handed.

If you had only one TV, would you prefer the TV in the living room or another room?

I don’t have a TV in my current location. No room. I can’t afford a TV or the high cost of Cable Television. I did save my Mom’s small TV after she died but that is in storage. Now I’m used to not watching or having a TV so even if my housing situation improves I doubt I would purchase one.

Have you ever participated in a distance walking, swimming, running, or biking event? Tell your story.

Thanks to Uncle Sam who had me marching, walking and running long distances Yes. I served in the U.S. Army from 1977 – 1981 and believe me like that old TV commercial used to say soldiers do more before 9:00 am than most people do during an entire day. Good Old Papa Tango or PT!! CQ banging on your door with a metal stick at 5:00 am so you can make a 6:00 am formation. We ran in boots sometimes our Jump Boots. No fancy sneakers or running shoes. Usually the Sgt. is running alongside the formation calling Cadence. Most of these songs raunchy but you got used to it. They weren’t there to pamper your ears. Here are two of the cleaner Cadence songs from my Army Days.

I was in the 569th PSC, Augsburg, Germany and the 101st Airborne Division (Screaming Eagles)!!

While working at my former company I did participate in one of those Heart or Cancer walks. Can’t remember which one. Maybe once I retire if it is physically possible I might start doing some 5K walks. No running. Bad arthritic knees.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

My one week vacation for the first week in May got approved!! Hooray!! Now I will be able to be with and help Celebrate my brother Stephen’s 55th Birthday!! Yippee!! I am also Thankful for a wonderful Palm Sunday and yesterday Easter Sunday. Looking forward to the month of April and hopefully warmer weather for the New York City area.

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 12

Wanting something to quench your thirst, what would you drink?

Water

What made you feel good this past week?

Having Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off from work. Getting some much needed rest. Saw Stephen on Wednesday.

When you’re alone at home, do you wear shoes, socks, slippers, or go barefoot?

Slippers.

Would you rather live where it is always hot or always cold?

Always HOT!! I Love the heat. My skin, hair and body thrive in hot, heat & humidity. My hair grows like wildfire and my skin is hydrated, soft and supple. Whereas in the cold, freezing icy winter weather my hair breaks off and falls out, my skin cracks and peels, my joints become more painful and sometimes freeze. There have been times when I had to call out from work because I could not move my legs! When I retire I need to move where it is Hot if not permanently then temporarily to avoid these brutal snowy freezing New York winters.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Extra time away from work. Having Tuesday and Wednesday off gave me a Four day weekend! Hooray!! Also grateful for receiving my Palms for yesterday Palm Sunday. Looking forward to Easter/Resurrection Sunday!! ❤

What would you ask for if a genie granted you three wishes?

Good health

Loads and Loads of Money. I want to be Rich. I want to be Wealthy because Rich people have options that poor people don’t have!

More time with my brother Stephen.

What experiences are most meaningful to you?

Spending time with my brother Stephen.

Writing

Photography

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

At first I wanted to be a Mommy then as I got older I realized I wanted to work outside the home like my Daddy. For a while I thought I was going to be an Artist because I enjoyed drawing and sketching. Finally in my later teenage years I wanted to be a writer. Well I’m neither a Mommy nor an Artist. I do write but I don’t get paid to do so and I doubt I’ll every make a living as a writer. Lucky for me Writing is something I will always do whether I ever get published or not.

Complete this sentence: The best day of my life was….

Earning my BA in English and graduating from Marymount Manhattan College in May 2002!!

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Grateful for last week’s vacation and time spent with my brother Stephen this past weekend. Looking forward to next weekend.
