Since I had no connection this past Friday, I figured, we’ve done it on a Saturday…why not a Sunday???
1. Do you think cursive writing is overrated? (Schools in Indiana have now voted to take teaching cursive writing out of their curriculum.)
I do.
In the digital age, I don’t think that what your writing looks like is important, rather the content of what you write. We need to focus on WHAT they are writing…not what it looks like.
Monkey Girl has terrible handwriting but is remarkably creative. She writes a phenomenal story and loses points for handwriting? Why can’t she just type the darn thing? As an adult, how much handwriting do you do, anyway?
2. Do you still use a pocket calendar or notepad or do you keep your info on your smart phone?
Given my answer to Question #1, I find it funny that I use both.
I enjoy writing things down on my pretty calendar I bought from Barnes and Noble, and I have a family calendar that we keep in the kitchen with everyone’s info, however, it all also gets stuck in my iPhone, and I have a Google calendar that I share with Real Man.
What we’d like to have, and have talked about many times, is a digital family calendar in the kitchen. We’re working on it…maybe in the new house.
3. What 3 things would you save if your house was burning down? (family & pets are already safe)
The CD’s that have our family photos on them. Aw, heck. Probably the computer because we haven’t downloaded them all to CD yet.
I guess our old photo albums, as well.
Other than that, I guess my laptop or my phone. I’m not a very sentimental person, so the only thing that I have that can’t be replaced would be the photos. So, other than those, I guess my laptop, since it has other photos of the monkeys and my work stuff saved on it.
I’m wondering what this answer says about me. Am I going to read other responses and smack my head and say “Oh…I totally should have said that!”
4. Country Mouse or City Mouse, err Person?
Honestly?
Country Mouse.
I want to live in the country.
Wide open spaces and all that jazz.
I have always wanted to live in the country. There is something very attractive about living out in the country with dirt roads and nothing to see for miles on end. Slower pace. Quieter life.
I want that.
5. If you could pick ANY reality show to go on, which would you pick?
Oh, I don’t know.
I’m not really interesting enough to be picked for any reality show, so I guess I’d go with American Idol, if I didn’t already WAY exceed the age requirement.
American Idol for Moms.
That’d be my pick.
And I’d rock it.
