How do you think technology will impact your future?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.I think it will annoy me a great deal as each big change comes down the line. But I will eventually learn to use and appreciate the next new thing technology offers up.
What makes you feel sexy?
Sponsored by Body by Victoria®from Victoria's Secret.
Closely fitting (but not tight) clothing on my body, high heels, short flippy hair and big dangling earrings. I've lost some weight, I'm the thinnest I've been in years and I feel pretty good. I am trying to walk and stay active though I had a real lazy day yesterday. I want to keep the weight off and keep getting stronger. And strong agile bodies are sexy. That's my opinion anyway.
How many times did you move growing up? How did moving (or staying put) impact your childhood?
I moved once when I was seventeen. We moved off the farm into a house in a subdivision. The house was small on almost no land, but it was nicer than our old house. And there were no barns or fruit trees anymore, and no dog. I missed the dog and the views from the farm house out over the valleys below. I guess I got used to it pretty quickly though, I had much less privacy but the new house at least had two bathrooms. We didn't live there long and I was almost old enough to be leaving home so I don't suppose it mattered that much. We were still in the same community and I had all my same friends. I remember playing piano in that house and I remember that my date for the banquet (Mennonite private school had banquet instead of prom) worked out a little thing with my Mom where she served us some treats in the kitchen with candles and such. It was such a thoughtful thing for him to put together, I wish he had been my date but I don't remember why I ended up with a different guy instead of him. He and I are still friends and despite his time in prison he's one of the best men I ever dated.
We moved to another home in the same subdivision after a year or so and that one had a little more land. It was a new house, my parents bought one that was being built. Just in time to make a few minor changes, otherwise it was a completely ordinary house. I didn't live there that long before moving off to college. I do remember dating in that house though, and having parents come home and enter the front door when I'm making out on the sofa only a few feet away, whew! That was close! If they knew what we were doing they did have the good grace not to say anything. I remember plugging my keyboard into the stereo and cranking it up loud, only to have the guy a few houses down talk to my parents at church about the noise. =) So I needed to go back to the piano, which was fine by me I guess. That's a feature of living in town, one must be a little more quiet.
Then I was off to college and began my own series of moves that had nothing to do with where my family lived. In those early days I could still fit all my belongings into the Chevy Malibu that I drove, big ass car with a V8 engine and some serious get-up-and-go. Her name was Brigeet and she was a great old family car that I "inherited" along with an account number at a gas station so daddy paid my gas bill. Can you imagine? A teen with a gas guzzling v8? I must have cost them a fortune! Course gas was lots cheaper in those days.
