BYOC

It’s Friday so you know what that means here in Care Bear Land!

Yup, it’s time for BYOC – Bring Your Own Crazy!!!!!

We answer a few questions in an effort to get to know each other better and

to give our blogging brains a break.

Copy to your own blog and enjoy!

1. I’m going to pick a person in your life – not knowing if you have a good or bad, existing or non-existent relationship with them – and your mission is to pick 5 words or traits or thoughts to describe them.

Your paternal grandmother.
She didn't like my mom...which mean she didn't like me.  I never met her.

2. What’s your all time favorite color to paint your nails? And your toes?
Fingers - no polish
Toes - Not a Waitress Red

3. Do you get along with your parents well?
My mom and I get along great.  She raised me and I raised her in some ways.  We are closer than any other mother/daughter in our entire family.  My sister-cousins (really just cousins) call my mom when they need to vent or just want a mom...not their own.  It's actually pretty sad for them.  My mom is my ride or die chick.

My dad is a loser.  I love him, but he is still a loser.  He has 5 children by 4 different women...and he was not around for any of us.  I am the "lucky" one I guess.  He was a part of my life a lot longer than he was a part of their lives.  He doesn't even know where my oldest brother is or if he is even alive.  My other older brother and his mother were married for a time...he left her when my brother was 1 and he stop seeing my brother after he turned 3.  He didn't see him again until 2002 over 20 years later.  My two younger sisters have never seen him in person.  He left their mother when my sister was almost 2 and my other sister was 6 months.  He reconnected with them in 2009...however, he has yet to see them...because he is a loser.  Me...well he never married my mom.  He was engaged to her when he married my younger sisters mom.  He was a part of my life the longest.  Pretty constant in my life until I turned 12.  Then he moved away and only contacted me once...with a $30 money order for lunch money.  I replied to his letter and included my report card...I never heard back.  I didn't hear or see him again until I was 24...only because my brother had located him and me. 

Did I mention he is a loser.


4. Speaking of rainbows – rank the rainbow colors in the order you prefer.

Green
Orange Yellow
Blue
Hot pink
5. Repeat question. How was your week in real life and in blog land this week?

In blog land. Blog land ROCKS!!  Everyone is so supportive and just all around good people.  I mean I literally check the blogs over 50 times a day.  I really should do some darn work.  But I have to make sure I don't miss anything.  LOL  I love my bloggies.

Real life:  Is good most days.  I have a great therapist...I've seen her twice and I always leave refreshed and ready to face the world.  I love having someone to talk to who doesn't know my life.  It's a great thing.  My best friend is in love....with HIM....HE is not the best person for her to love...but I will hold my judgement.  I did however give HIM a call and told him if he hurts her again...he might want to leave the country because I'm coming after his ass this time.  I don't play that. 
I bought a speed bag kit so that I can work on these batwings.  I have made a promise to workout in some form or the other the entire month of August.  Of course Wednesday was shot to hell...and other than chasing kids around yesterday was shot to hell as well.  Today is a new day...my day!!
