Thursday Thoughs ...
Cindy, over Another Step Forward tagged me!
She sent me a list of questions to answer. That was 2/22/11 and I am just now getting ready to do it. I'm slow, but sure. I was just going to give her my answers, but decided to do it on my blog for her. She took time and asked me so I feel a need to answer her back correctly - respect. I'm really not all that interesting, but here are my answers - yawn - lol.
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself.

Hi Sandie! Loved reading your answers. Hope your day today is doubly blessed. Susan
Thank you Sandie for such a wonderful honor! Getting to know you has blessed my life. I would also only eat chocolate if I only had six months. I am also trying to forgive everyone. It's an internal journey that asks me to take steps everyday...
God Bless,
Shanae
You are interesting, Kiddo! Stop kidding yourself!...:)JP
Great answers! yeah, totally not giving up junk food - I don't even care one lick about going to space.
Good answers there Chatty, and I love that final picture of the old lady puckering up!! LOL!!
Oh man, I loved this list! Who knew you were so interesting? (Wait - that didn't sound right at all!)
So - I really did enjoy learning a little more about you. For one thing, I also love reading murder/suspense. I also think my ideal hours are midnight to 9 AM. You know how I feel about Marty. Also fear the process of dying.
And if you ever want a traveling buddy when you head to Europe - sign me up!!
Thanks for sharing - this was really fun!
xoxo
Very interesting how so many of us have so much in common! Enjoyed reading about you...from your own viewpoint.
I totally agree on the dying one!!!! You get up at 5:30??? Ecchh!!
Fun questions and very interesting answers! Loved this! hugs, Linda
I LOVE your answers!!
Hey Thanks Sandie, you and I are alot alike, we both love chocolate,hehehe.
I'm honored, I takin' it home gurl, straight to Loblolly.And try and answer the questions, without boring everyone into a coma.

Great post. I enjoyed reading more about you.
I thought it was very exciting and I love your answers!!!
looks like you aged a bunch since you took your profile photo. ha ha ho ho just go home from eye doctor with dilated eyes, so might do the questions later. very interesting news about you. i read all of it this morning and then closed down without commenting like a dope.
Thank you Sandie. I enjoyed getting to know you better. Loved the picture of the old woman. Have a good weekend.
Hey Sandie...you crack me up...you really do. love these answers....and that pic of you at the end throwing a kiss....too cute.
Yeah, I definitely don't see the choice between loving someone or being loved by someone. It's gotta go both ways, no compromise! And the beauty of love, of course, is that it can and does.
I loved your post,as usual you made me smile! I liked the one about you being the first person your hubby hired. Blessings jane
Great minds indeed. LOL! You answered just about the way I would have answered except for the chocolate part. Maybe its because I am hungry right now but I could eat homemade mac and cheese for the next 6 months. Go figure!
Hugs
HI CHATTY!!!
NOW that was awesome
great answers!!!
I agreed on alot of those!!
With you!!|
Same answers!!
Some quite different!!
But that is what is great is that we are all different!!!
Hope you see the US first then Europe!!!
I have been to all 50, not every city, but at least had my foot in all 50!!
Now on to Europe!!!
I won't see it all, but my foot hopes to touch at least 6 or 8 countries!!

jamie
I thought your answers were interesting!
Have a Great Day!

I like to read these because we always find out more about people. Why Kate? I'm with you about the chocolate too! When I was doing a weight loss clinic one time (slow learner, I managed to gain back the weight several times, LOL), I was doing the protein shake routine and I got the chocolate ones; they were so good that I didn't mind drinking them four times a day instead of eating (ate one meal a day and four protein shakes)
I agree about hating injustice; God does too
betty
Sandie, these are interesting. I love what you said about finding people who work hard with the billion dollars one. That's something I'd like to do too.
I got a grin about how you met your husband. So... he hired you and has been working for you ever since. Right?
Ha!
Have a great day today.
Wow, that was a lot to answer. You did a good job Kate:) I would change my name to Honey.
Oops, I'm late!
... but couldn't resist checking-in. 'LOVE what you wrote about Disco being your "grand"!
Say, how do you feel about us calling you "Chatty Kate"?
I'd love to hear more someday re. first meeting your hubby!
OMG, Sandie! I loved reading your answers and am honored that you passed this on to me. Please give me a few days to get 'er done though! I did notice that some of answers are the same. Thank you again! Hugs ~ Tanna
