Breakfast ~   What is a compliment you have received that you still remember? Just a few weeks ago I received a gift and a note from some of my recent students.  They all complimented me on the teaching I had done in their class, stating that they really learned from me and that they appreciated my teaching techniques.   I work very hard to teach in a way that will help the students learn and retain the information they will need to practice in the real world.  These compliments mean the world to me! Lunch ~   Do you compliment others often? Not nearly as often as I should.  Most days I am so oblivious to the world that I...

I search, and search, and search to try to find the "best" deal I can find.  It is exhausting, and I'm constantly in a panic that there will be something better that I miss.  But, it usually all works out and we have a great time in the end. Lunch  ~   How do you stay on top of things? Are you supposed to stay on top of things?  I'm always playing catch up!  I do have my calendar at my fingertips at all times, and everything I have to do is put on the calendar.  If it isn't there, I don't do it.   Dinner ~    How do you keep calm in stres...

I booked and paid for a trip that we could use anytime within a year.  I should have known better.  If I don’t book with an absolute plan things never seem to work out.  Now with Tasha expecting I want to spend my vacation time with her when she has her new baby, so the trip will just be wasted. Lunch ~ How do you deal with things you can't change? After beating myself up about the situation, I then just try to either deal with it or try to forget it. Dinner ~ When things get stressful, what is your go-to for calming yourself? I wish I could say that I calm myself with something productive and healthy like going for a walk or yoga.  I can’t sa...

Lunch ~ What happened this week that was unexpected? Austin Taylor was killed when his car hit ice and he collided with a semi.  I know Austin’s family very well and this news was devastating.  My heart hurts so much for his cute wife, Marissa, and their 2 ½ little girls. Dinner ~  What is your go to meal when company is over or when you have to take a meal to someone? Since I rarely cook, this is a hard question.  When company comes we often order pizza, or if ...

My least favorite  is actually putting up the decorations.  I LOVE having them up, but actually decorating drives me crazy.  And I don’t like trying to figure out where to put the stuff I take down to put up Christmas. Lunch ~  What one thing would make Christmas just not Christmas for you? To no...

However, if I have planned for something and then a change happens that I’m not prepared for, I am a very unhappy camper.  I guess the answer is that I like change when I am the one to initiate it! Lunch ~  What is one thing you would like to change about yourself  in each category: *Physically *Emotionally *Spiritually *Mentally ...

Dinner ~  Do you vote straight party or cross party lines? I tend to favor one party, but have no hesitation to going outside the party if I feel strongly about a candidate. Midnight Snack ~   Was there a particular issue on ...

Lunch ~  What do you listen to while driving? I listen to audiobooks.  I would prefer to listen to LDS novels, but they aren’t easy to find so I listen to Christian novels because there is no sex or language.  Last year I listened to a whole slew of Amish novels that were fabulous. When I start getting tired I put on music from musicals becau...
