Tags and Little Women

Do you remember in junior high when you would get all those mass-emails that you had to answer a bunch of questions. And then at the end you had to forward it on to several other people in order for some special wish to come true? Sadly I think I gave in and filled one of those out once a upon a time, and I have regreted it ever since.

Well, this pretty lady decided to tag me in a question game. Since I know the intended purpose was not some mass email thing, and I love her dearly and the questions she asks, I'm going to answer them. But I'm not going to tag new people to answer these questions. Instead since I know there are about 7 of you who regularly read this blog, you can think of how you would answer these questions yourself (you don't even have to blog about it, but you are more than welcome to).



Okay, here we go:



1. Assuming your life had a soundtrack, what song would accompany the happiest moments and what song would accompany the most embarrassing ones? Why?

Answer: The two worst questions someone could ask me are 1. What is my favorite movie? and
2. What is my favorite song?. I never have a specific answer. I feel I am too complex of a being to get the full satisfaction of every aspect of life out of just one movie or just one song. There are simply too many good ones out there. Therefore, I have several favorite movies and songs. And on the mention of songs--I'm so bad at remembering all the words to songs, let alone know their meaning, to determine whether a song idealizes a part of my life.

Lame answer? tough

2. Would you rather live your entire life in Pocatello, Idaho or Beaver, Utah

Answer: Beaver--closer to Lake Powell. Enough said.

3. If you could travel through time, to which era would you want to travel and who would you want to meet?

Answer: This question does not say I have to travel BACK through time...so I would pick to go FORWARD in time and meet two people 1. Myself as an old woman that has already lived a full life, and 2. Christ at the Millenium.

4. Which sister do you identify with most and why do you think that is?




Answer: Okay this question is why I even felt like this whole thing was worthy of a blog post.

Background information:
My Mother's favorite movie is Little Women.
I have 6 sisters

My answer to this question is totally lame again--I feel I relate to them all in a certain way. But that isn't what matters. I want to just tell you how much I love Little Women.

This story reminds me a lot of my life--growing up in a predominately female house with sisters of such different personalities but as the best of friends. My mother would also be the one, if I were sick with fever, to bring the fever down instead of the doctor.

Mitch is my best friend and the person I would pick to spend forever with; but there are some bonds that can only be made between girls. I think that is why only women truly appreciate masterpieces like Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, and Pride and Prejudice.

Cheers to my sisters and the special bond that we have--especially dear Katie who spent so many nights on the couch in the basement with me so we could watch Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, or Pride and Prejudice together.

Cheers to Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, and Pride and Prejudice.

I never did fill out those questionnaires. And I broke a million chain letter type things. The latest thing I have broken (a few times) is the recipe email list. They make it sound so easy, and then tell you to pass it on to 20 friends. 20! I'm not going to bug 20 people. Maybe 3, but then I'm ruining it anyway, so why try.

Hahaha, Heather I loved what you wrote. To be honest, I'm surprised I did it myself.

And I like the idea of meeting you as an old woman.

Little Women is one of my faves too. Since there are four of us and four of them we all pretended we were them. Missy lucked out getting Jo, and they all tease me and say I will die first... anyway. I liked this.

Pride and prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Women are three of my very favorite movies. I think when you get home we should have a movie marathonand watch all three!
