So… the fam damily has been wanting to go to a movie for several weeks now, but various things have kept us from being able to go. But — FINALLY — we managed to get fed and out the door in time to see a showing of Super 8 at a reasonable hour.
We even found parking up close — it felt like the planets had aligned!!
Then THEY came into the theatre…
Let’s just say, “I’m not enthused.”
The Boy is officially off for summer vacation, having finished his last final exam an hour ago.
Since then, he’s terrorized Rosie by firing at least a hundred rounds from the Air Soft rifle he bought off of the Step-son. (Now I know why Manny was so keen on the thing leaving her house.)
He’s also begged for re-instatement of his video gaming rights.
Oy!
My buddy Joanie Balonie posted this on Facebook today:
It takes a while to get going, but once it does, I found it both moving and thought-provoking.
I would answer as many of those who were interviewed answered: I don’t have one.
I lived as I needed to in order to become the person I am now.
I learned from the things that I’ve done. If I did them differently, I might not have learned the lessons my mistakes taught me.
Plus, the biggest lesson I learned was from my mom when she was very sick — Don’t postpone your joy!
I’ve pretty much always lived that way, but having her put it into words has made it something that is now written on my heart.
So, how would YOU answer the question?
