PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.48
1. Suppose God (or your deity of choice) grants you one miracle. Consider
the world in which we live. Consider your life and family. What would you
request for this miracle? Are you sure that is the best way to use it? You only
get one. Egad. I have no idea. Probably something like an end to hunger or no more wars, or religious harmony. A greedy miracle would be to win the lottery. Well, not totally greedy cause I would buy my parents a new house with a greenhouse and a basketball court. And a studio. Can’t forget the studio.
2. I believe that prayers do get answered, but I realize not everyone
agrees. Have you ever had an experience where you truly believe your prayer
was answered? If you don’t believe in such things, how come? What is your
philosophy on prayer? I know He answered my prayers during last track season. He helped me get through college when I wasn’t sure I could, so there’s another. I haven’t gotten fired yet, so that’s a good sign. And my parents aren’t divorced or separated which is the best of all.
3. Have you ever lost a pet? That is, have you ever had a pet get
loose, run away or be stolen? Did you get it back? How did the loss impact your
life? I never ‘lost’ a pet, I never had a cat or dog to run away, but I did have some die on me…I was so sad when my rabbit, Tipps, died when I was, oh, eight…I can still see her sitting in that cardboard box, waiting to be buried. And my hampster, Ruby, died when I was on vacation, and was stored in my uncle’s freezer till we got back. Alas. The little ones are never with us long.
4. Getting together with family at the holidays is great, I just love
it. Most of all I love the food. What is your favorite holiday food? Eek…stuffing? the real mashed potatoes? Turkey? cakes and pies? crab dip? I can’t choose!
5. One thing I’ve noticed about the holidays is that no one makes
Pumpkin Pie like my Grandmother. She has totally spoiled me on her recipe, I
just don’t like the taste of anyone else’s Pumpkin Pie. Are there are dishes
or desserts that someone in your family fixes better than anyone else? Our family makes the best chicken and dumplings. It’s my grandma’s recipie, but my mom and my dad also make it, and everyone makes it differently, but damn good. And my dad makes the best egg rolls and crab rangoon. We always have to bug him to make them, but when he finally does, they are si bon…
6. Since I have no brothers or sisters, I am always wondering what it
would have been like. Now that I am older, it kinda stinks that I will never be
an Uncle. Do you have any siblings with children? How does it make you feel
to be an Aunt or an Uncle? If not, would you like to be have nieces and nephews?
Would you make a good relative to them? I’m an only, and I know there were times when I wish I had a playmate when I was littler, or someone to talk to during hs that wasn’t one of my parents. I do feel sad that I’ll never be an aunt, unless my husband has sibs…I hope so. I love my aunts and uncles. And cousins! I want my kids to have cousins! So, boys with sibs, contact me! lol.
7. I am putting together a CD of great holiday music. Do you have any
suggestions of what songs (title/artist) I should include? Amy Grant’s ‘Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.’ Mariah Carey’s ‘All I Want for Christmas is You.’ Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli, ‘The Prayer.’ Kenny Rogers Christmas album (don’t laugh). There’s more but my Christmas collection isn’t in front of me right now.
BONUS: How would you feel knowin’ prejudice was obsolete and all
mankind danced to the same beat? Wouldn’t that be the sweetest thing?
