Cee challenges people to share a bit about themselves by answering questions she poses. Here’s the latest list:
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Ironically as a kid I wanted to be a truck driver. Something about being on the road appealed to me. Of course I didn’t know about the rest of the job, the way they are paid, the stress, or the danger. Still the road pulls at me today and probably always will.
If you were invisible, where would you go?
Once upon a time I would have wanted to go into the executive meetings at work to figure out what was behind some of the policy. But since I’m retired I don’t have that urge anymore. I guess now I’d like to be in my Senators’ offices to see what happens day to day and how they make their decisions.
Would you rather forget everyone else’s name all the time or have have everyone forget your name all the time?
Definitely I’d rather my name was forgotten if in return I could remember other people’s names. I am so bad at names. I forget them immediately even when I’m concentrating on remembering them. I forget my neighbor’s names, people I worked with names, friends names. I’m hopeless.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I have a hard time remembering last week. But I know I’m grateful to be retired and having most of my time to myself. This week I’m grateful for beautiful weather, not too hot, not too cold, not too wet. The dog and I should be able to camp in the backyard a couple of nights and that’s always special.

Very nice to know you a bit more. I like such personal questionnaires that help illustrate ourselves.
Have a good day (or night) wherever you are.

Amazing that you wanted to be a truck driver! I mean, instead of a cowgirl? 🙂

I only ever road a horse once and it tried to scrape my right leg off against the fence. Don’t think I’d make it as a cowgirl.

I enjoyed this, Dawn. It allowed me to get to know a little more about you. 🙂 I forget people’s names, too. No matter how hard I try, they disappear somewhere inside my brain.
