Participating in The Random Dozen, hosted by 2nd Cup of Coffee

OK, So There's No Number 4. I Got Lazy & You Got a Break.

1. Is there a word which you initially mispronounced? Were the circumstances in which you made the faux pas embarrassing? By the way, that's not "foax pass." (I know you know that. Just jokin' with ya.)

 

     I do not "memember" misponouncing anyting........joking.............I really do not recall an issue pronouncing words.  I was the only girl, in the family,  with two grown brothers who had children of their own.  So, I actually did not get the opportunity to have much peer based conversation unless my nieces and nephews came over to play......;-D.....I have, however, noticed how many people say "pacific" instead of SPecific............just sayin'

2. How do you feel about the use of texting shortcuts and trends? (ex: "I've got ur notes. Get them 2 u 2morow.")

     As an educator, I am convinced that text messaging using shortcuts has empaired the minds of our youth...........on the other hand, I find it very useful and utilize it often........"dnt do as I do".

3. Tell me about your high school senior picture. Please feel free to post.

     My high school picture was standing next to the love of my life wearing a long white dress.  I could not wait to graduate........took my GED and "bolted".  (Later went back and got my B.S. and M Ed.)

To my 5 grandchildren:  refer to #2........;-)

5. Share a high school or college homecoming memory.
     refer to #3
6. Linda at Mocha with Linda wants to know: "Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets?"
     Love sunsets...........

 

I took this one on the way to Cozumel, Mexico..........ahhhhhhhhhhh 

 

7. Lea at Cici's Corner asks, "What is something you have not done that you desire to do?"

    

      I would love to have the opportunity to teach at the college level.

8. Carol at Wanderings of an Elusive Mind ponders, "If you could come back [in another life] as an animal, which would it be?"

    

     A gator on the University of Florida campus...........seriously, no idea.............

9. Joyce from The Other Side of the Pond is curious: "Where were you 10 years ago?" Please feel free to elaborate more than just your physical location.

     Ten years ago I was in South Florida.  My oldest daughter had been married for 4 months and I was in mourning over the "loss" of my first baby.  This was NOT a great time in my life in many respects.  I am glad we have moved on...............

 

10. When you are proven to be correct in any contentious discussion, do you gloat?

     I don't call it gloating, I prefer to describe it as a  "learning" moment...bahahaha

11. What is your favorite food which includes the ingredient "caramel?"

     

     A nice ice cream dessert made with Klondike bars layered with cool-whip, chocolate sauce and drizzles of caramel..........hmmmmm

12. From my 17 year-old daughter to you: "If you could be part of any fictional family, which family would you choose and why?" (She's so cute. And clever.)

    

     The Partridge Family............I loved to watch that every day............"I think I love you" ♫♪
