July 15 "What Are You Most Afraid Of?"

2012  Depending on the moment I will answer this question differently.  If I am in the basement, I am most afraid of going up the stairs and having someone follow me.  If I am in the grocery store, I am most afraid of someone hitting the back of my ankle with their shopping cart.  If I am at home and thinking about my family, I am most afraid of losing them.

July 14 "What Was Your Horoscope Today? Was It Accurate?"

2012  I don't read my horoscope. I did get a fortune cookie at a Chinese Restaurant last week.  I don't remember what it said.  I guess that shows how much I rely on fortunes.

July 13 "How Much Is Gasoline Per Gallon?"

2012  Gasoline is too much per gallon.  It ranges from $3.40 to $3.50 per gallon.  Just to reference, I looked up in Cole's baby book the other day and 16 years ago it was $1.48 per gallon.

July 12 "Who Inspires You?"

2012  I don't have one person that I constantly look to for inspiration.  There are a lot of people who inspire me. The prophet and other leaders of the church are inspiring.  Who ever is speaking in sacrament or teaching the Sunday School or Young Women lesson is inspiring.  I almost always hear what I need to hear to be inspired.  So depending on what I need and where I am will depend on who I am willing to let inspire me when I am willing to listen.

July 11 "Who Did You See The Most of Today?"

2012  Today I saw many people.  There wasn't one person I spent the most time with but it was probably my girls.  Cole left for Trek at 4:30 am, Norm left for work at 6:00 am.  The girls and I left at 9:00 to clean the Nehmers and Lindsay picked them up at 11:00 to go to Day Break Lake.  I had lunch at Michelle's with Angie and several other ward/neighbor people.  I got home about 4:30 and Norm got home about 5:30. Maddy left at 6:00 to go to YW on a hike and Norm, Tenley and I went to the Joy Luck for dinner to celebrate Norm closing a big deal he's been working on since December.  Maddy got home about 8:00 and we all chilled on the couch watching So You Think You Can Dance.

July 10 "What Recently Happaned That Made You Proud Of Yourself?"

2012  Wow, this made me realize I need to push myself more often to feel that sense of accomplishment.  I don't love the word "proud", it makes me think of "pride" and that word often gives me a negative feeling.  But a sense of accomplishment, that makes me feel good.  I would have to say that twice in the past week I have gone walking with a friend, our kids and the dog.  We walked five miles one day and about four the other day.  It was hot, I was dripping sweat and I felt good about myself.  I felt good that I was being an example to my kids.  It made me feel like I wanted to keep doing it and keep pushing myself to go farther and faster.

July 9 Name One Thing You Should Toss Right Now, But Just Can't"

2012   Well,  I just dejunked my hall closet and my craft/office/game room so I am feeling pretty good about my hoarding at the moment.  I have come along ways from saving every single piece of paper from school after moving 20 times over the past 18 years.  I feel pretty decluttered. I can think of one thing that I set aside to see if a neighbor would want... a workbook for 5-8 year olds.  I should have thrown it away but I felt like someone I knew could use it.
