Monday Morning Meme

 

As usual, I got this from over at Karen’s.  Won’t you play along too?

1. Would you rather be extremely successful professionally and have a tolerable yet exciting private life, or have an extremely happy private life and only a tolerable and uninspiring professional life? Explain your answer, please.

So, do I want to be successful and have a terrible personal life or a great personal life and a mediocre professional life?  I don’t know of anyone that would intentionally choose a terrible  poor personal life.  So, I think the question comes down to, would you rather be happy or be successful.  Personally, I’d rather be happy.  However, success at work, where my social life also existed was great.  Home was for resting.  I get this isn’t a common condition, but it worked for me.  Now, I’d rather have a great personal life because being professionally successful isn’t a need I have.

2. What are you doing to help the environment? Tell us how you cut down on your environmental impact.

We have one vehicle, we recycle and we have cut back on utility usage.  I talk to my kids about the environment as well so they’re aware and starting to “think green”.  I also use eco friendly household cleaners.  And, we’re planning on moving closer to my husband’s work to cut down on fuel consumption.

3. Who would you not mind being stuck in an elevator with? Someone who’s handy could help get you out. Someone hot could help pass the time. List who’s in there with you.

My husband.  ’Nough said.  It might get a little steamy.

4. How often does your family have their portrait taken? Is it professionally done? If possible, post your last family portrait. Now that I’ve got you thinking about it, when do you plan on having your next family portrait taken?

We haven’t had a family portrait taken yet because it can be hard to get both of the girls here at the same time and have everyone feeling well.  It’s been a challenge.  We have a few candids from a couple years ago all together, but as the girls are rarely together, it’s been difficult to accomplish.  And, those photos aren’t on this computer.  :(
