The meme that won't die!
Questions from earthmoon
1. What is your job? I can never tell from the context :D
Department Administrator. I do inventory management and administrative minutia and superviser the admin asst for the publishing department in a company that does research in several fields. Vague enough for you? Ask me again at class on Thursday.
2. How old are you? (yes, nosy parker that's me)
I will be twenty nine again on my next birthday, thereby finally becoming younger than my husband. ;)
3. Where would be your dream place to live (anywhere in the world, no money issues, no language issues) & why?
I pretty much wouldn't want to live anywhere but where I do. My family is all here. If they would come with me, I think I'd like to live in Ireland for a while. I think I'd also like to live on the Mediterranean coast, maybe the islands of Greece.
4. Excluding parenting (cause we all know it wins) what is the hardest process you've ever done? (learned most, hurt most, whatever)
Putting myself through college. I had no help from family, except moral support, and it took me nine years to do it because I had to work alternating quarters. I'm also pretty darn proud of myself for doing it.
5. What was the best thing about your childhood that you loved at the time? What was the best thing now that you look back on your childhood with adult judgment? Same questions about the worst :)
I loved the freedom I had. I'd leave the house in the morning and come home for dinner on the weekends. Looking back, the relationship I had with my maternal grandmother. We were very very close and she was an incredible person.
Worst would be how my mother allowed my brother to treat me. I don't think it was good for either of us. I hated it at the time and now that I have kids of my own, I can understand it even less. He'd be hitting me and I'd go to her to get him to stop and she always told us to work it out between ourselves, which just meant I had to give in to whatever he said or get hit. I'd be watching TV and he'd come in and change the channel and if I so much as expressed disappointment, he'd hit me. We're not close, even as adults and I think a lot of that has to do with our relationship growing up. I see my husband and his sister and what a lovely relationship they have and I wish I could have had a nice relationship with my brother. At this point, we're too different to be close.
