PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 3.29
1. The other night my family took a walk while I stayed home to finish some chores. I knew they would be visiting some neighbors on the other block, but the longer they were gone, the more I got uncomfortable. As darkness fell and no one was back, my mind just went nuts with all these scenarios that could have happened. Of course, everything was fine and I was upset for no reason at all. But it is amazing how the mind can really do a number on you. Have you ever been in a situation where you were worried sick about something/someone and your mind played out horrible outcomes? What was the situation and what did your imagination come up with? How did it all turn out? Sheesh. A thinking question. Probably something like this happened while I was in college and I was worried about passing my classes and what would happen if I failed. I try not to worry. Sometimes it’s hard.
2. My Great Grandmother would turn her car around and drive an extra block, if a black cat crossed the road in front of her. I used to toss salt over my shoulder when I spilled some. Silly stuff, really. Are there any superstitions that you believe in, or just do out of habit? Do you feel like it makes a difference? I wore the same socks to every track meet. Washed, of course. Sometimes I’ll knock on wood or try to do things the same way that they worked…I try to think I’m not superstitious, but I’m sure there are things I do that show I am.
3. Spiders, mice, insects, blood, being home alone at night…some folks I know told me that those things really scare them. What frightens you? Falling off a cliff scares me. Failing scares me. Of course, I’d still like to try skydiving.
4. Has there ever been a time where you were too proud to ask for help? What was the situation, and did you ever finally ask? I hate to ask for help. I can never figure it out on my own though, so I should just get over myself and do so. I always have had a hard time asking teachers to explain things, cause I guess it seemed like I should be able to figure it out since I was “gifted.” But I think I missed out on a lot because I didn’t get to know my teachers.
5. Have you ever had, or do you have In-Laws (or the non-marriage equivalent) that you just don’t like or do things that drive you insane? What are some of the things they’ve done that almost drove you over the edge? I don’t have any in-laws yet. Hopefully the guy I marry will have nice parents and siblings. I want my kids to have the best family they can.
6. It has been said that you can tell how a man will treat his wife/girlfriend by watching how he treats his mother. Do you think that is true? I do. Because everyone is influenced by their mother whether they realize it or not.
7. But then, there is the other extreme. Do you know any men that are just a little too close to their mothers? You know the kind, they won’t make a decision on their own, can’t do their own laundry and so on? How did that relationship work out for you? Any stories to tell? Considering the fact that I’ve only had three relationships in my life and the boys there were perfectly young enough to still be mama’s boys, I don’t have any stories. I’m a bit of a parent-lover myself. I’m glad I have parents that care about me.
BONUS: Radio, what’s new? There’s something new on the radio? Gasp!
OCCASIONAL SUPER SECRET BONUS QUESTION!!!
8. What did you do last night after the sun went down? I was flying away from the sunset, leaving LA and coming back to StL.
