Share Your World 2015 – Week 26

Posted on July 2, 2015 by Mama Cormier

…..half way through the year….thanks Cee for 4 more questions

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

It depends. On long trips I like to switch it up. I find I get tired very quickly and need to take frequent breaks. It also depends on whose driving. If it’s my Dad I’d rather be driving.

If you were handed free opera tickets, would you go or sell them? Why?

I would go. I’ve only been to one opera and I wouldn’t mind seeing some more.

Describe your own outlook on life in seven words or less. (NOTE: does not necessarily have to be a sentence.)

Experience all that life offers. Keep learning.

Which would you prefer: a wild, turbulent life filled with joy, sorrow, passion, and adventure–intoxicating successes and stunning setbacks; or a contented bordering on happy, secure, predictable life surrounded by friends and family without such wide swings of fortune and mood?

Can’t I have a combination of both? I like the idea of joy, passion and adventure and living a contented life surrounded by friends and family. When I was younger I used to think that fame and fortune were important. Not so much anymore.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I’m grateful that school is out and that I’m finally on vacation. I spent a wonderful weekend with family and friends and I finally spent time with my friend MC who is recovering from hip surgery. I’m grateful that she’s doing so well. I was worried for her because she doesn’t handle pain medication well but it looks like they found right dosage so that she didn’t have to suffer complications from the medicine.

This week I’m looking forward to getting up to the cottage. It’s taken me longer than I had planned but as soon as I finish this article I’m off.

Share Your World 2014 – Week 26

Posted on June 30, 2014 by Mama Cormier

….now we are truly at the half way mark into the year

Is your refrigerator, organized or a mess inside?

It depends on the day. Of course after I clean it, it’s organized and I try to keep it that way. My husband, however, does a lot of the shopping and he doesn’t always check to see what’s already in there. Consequently we have doubles and even triples of condiments and vegetables. Even if he does check he often doesn’t see what’s near the back of the fridge. So some days it looks a tad messy in there.

If you could be famous for one thing, what would it be?

If I could be famous, I’d like to be a famous artist, preferably while I’m alive.

An earlier attempt at collage.

What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?

I’d love to have my own art show. I was suppose to have a show at a community arts centre several years ago but because of politics, the group that I was working with was kicked out of the time slot that we had booked to make way for a more established group of artists who were also on the board of directors. The experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I haven’t booked another show since.

Where do you eat breakfast?

I try to eat my breakfast at the kitchen table. If I’m running late I’ll take my breakfast with me or stop at the local Tim Horton’s and pick up some oatmeal. Once I get to school I sit down in the staffroom to quietly enjoy my meal before my classes begin. Now that the weather is nice I sometimes eat my breakfast out on the deck both at home and at the cottage.

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I’m grateful that school is out and I can now focus on my fitness and weight goals once more. Even though I have to go back in this week to tidy up some more and pack away more books I’ll be able to do it without having children around to supervise.

I’m looking forward to spending time up at the cottage. I haven’t opened up yet and finding someone to go with me this weekend was impossible (too much going on in the city). I’m also looking forward to having my hair cut and my feet pampered before I go.
