Monday Morning Meme: August 30th, 2010

August 30th Questions:

1. What would you say to your 16-year-old self, and why?

I would tell myself to ditch the guy I was dating because he was an abusive ass.  Then, I’d tell myself that I’m not fat, I am pretty and worthy and to focus more on horses than worry about having a boyfriend, especially because he didn’t treat me well.  And I’d tell myself to go to college.  Just go!

2. What are you avoiding?

The dishes.  I just don’t want to do them.

3. Describe a “Hah! I told you so” moment you had recently.

Can’t remember having one recently.

4. Do you think that back-to-school shopping is a big deal? How did your back-to-school shopping go this year?

I love back to school shopping!  Only this year, we’re not doing it.  Dude’s education will be happening here at home, online and the girls had to fly so there wasn’t room to do any for them.  Dude will need minimal amounts of things.  And frankly, with the move, the losses and the recent drama around here, I’m relieved he doesn’t really need anything!

5. Bonus: Write a caption, poem or short story inspired by this picture:

“Inside every woman is a fun, playful spirit waiting to come out.”
