Wouldn't It Be Nice???




1. What's the nicest thing a complete stranger ever did for you?


One time when coming back from Massachusetts to Michigan for a Dr. appointment, we had been 
having the worst luck. (car trouble and just about anything else you can think of, not to mention, I 
was sicker than I have ever been in my life, or at least if felt like it!!) Well we had just crossed the Mich.
border  (Yes, finally!!!) and all of  sudden, a tire blows out on the Cadillac, and we don't have the special tire key that a Cadillac needs or some sort, and because of all the troubles we'd had, we were down to 
$20 left, AND...we were running on an empty tank. Basically the $20 would give us enough money in 
gas to make it home...but what about the tire??


All of a sudden, some man walks up and asks us, can I help you with something??
When we explain our situation, he says he had noticed our flat and he knows the owner of the tire shop
 just down the road. Within minutes, he has a tow-truck towing our car to the shop and putting a brand
 new tire on  the car. We tried to get his address to pay him back, but he wouldn't hear
 of it!!!  What a nice man!!


And just real quick...another 100 miles into Michigan, the other back tire blew and my friend at the 
time had a tire put on our car and paid with her credit card so we could make it the rest of the way in!!

2. What one thing that always speaks deeply to you, to your spirit, no matter your 
mood or what else is going on in your life?  


Just the thought of meditating!! If I walk into my meditation spot, my own personal Sanctuary as I
 like to call it, I suddenly feel more at peace no matter how much I had on my mind before I entered.

3. How many jobs have you held in your life? How many of those were part of your chosen career field?


Seven/five (one before I even realized I would go into Business Management, lol)
And now I want to finish up my  Masters in Library Science, even though,
 I may NEVER work again :(


4. Of those jobs, how many did you leave voluntarily?


All of them!! I have never been fired from a job!! I did however have to leave a great paying job
with wonderful benefits and bonuses at a moments notice due to a domestic violence situation
on my part with my ex-husband :( But my work completely understood. I would have took a transfer,
but I was too scared to leave my house, I was in hiding for awhile with my kids in a new town where
they had relocated me to!!

5. How did you discover Saturday 9? How long have you played?
 (Thank you for joining in!)


I discovered Saturday 9 thanks to 'Mom's Place' It's a brand new blog that I found last night 
when I couldn't sleep...and she has all the meme's she plays along with each week listed on her
side wall...Very cool!!!

Photobucket
Found here.

This is my very first week!! I'm always interested in things like these. I like to read the others'

blogs and responses, not only do I get to know the person a little bit, but I often find some great
new blogs!! Thank you for hosting :)

6. What's the worst beverage you've ever tasted?


Oh, Egg Nog, by far!!! *gagging and shivering with convulsions just at the thought."

7. Is there anything in life you are "certain" about? Firm in your beliefs?
 Strong in your convictions?


Absolutely!!!   K.A.R.M.A all the way!! 



"Every action, every thought has a result. There is no such thing as an action or thought without a result."

"Every action and every thought is weighed on the scales of eternal justice."




Ok, Ok...enough of that...I guess it's safe to say, I'm pretty firm in my beliefs, lol ;P

8. How do you come up with the title of your blog's posts?

I try to make them relate to what I wrote about, but I also try to make them intriguing to the
reader. I find that asking a question is quire often a good one :)

9. Would you consider yourself a good cook?


Not bad, just not really great!! I mean the kiddos don't even turn down what I make or anything 
like that, so it can't be that bad :) I mean if I try a new recipe and I follow the directions, it almost always turns out, it's just that I almost NEVER try new recipes....meaning I pretty much make the same 
fifteen or twenty boring meals over and over and over and...do you see the repetitiveness yet???




Ok, so all in all that was cool!!

Maybe you learned something new about me,
maybe you really could care less???
