Bloganuary Prompt #19: What color describes your personality and why?

What color describes your personality and why?

Blue (analyzer/ organizer)

The color which describes my personality would be blue. Why you might wonder; it is the color that represents those who like to be organized & analyze their life and surroundings. I like to have everything in its place & do not like the order of my things to be disrupted. I prefer not to have conflict with others, but would rather have everyone get along and work comfortably together. People know when I work on a job or task that he will be completed and done well. I am a good listener and am observant of situations around me and try to crate the best possible solutions. I like structure & tend to prefer to not need the need to improvise if at all possible. That being said, I do work well within a team and am an invaluable asset.

Bloganuary #20: What irritates you about the home you live in?

What irritates you about the home you live in?

Just about everything irritates me regarding the “home” I currently reside within. You might wonder why I stay in my current residence if everything about it irritates me. The predominant reason I reside where I do is my grandson. Right now he is my world 🌎. I take care of him 24/7 in my daughter’s apartment. If it weren’t for him, I’d leave in a heartbeat. But then there’s financial issues which makes it difficult to leave. This is not what or where I thought I’d be just a few short years ago.

What irritates you about the home you live in? Is it the neighborhood? The people you live with? What can you change about it? Would you make changes if you could?

Bloganuary #13: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it?

First of all, Is the billion dollars post taxes? If not, the government would take a huge chunk of it. That being said, with the portion I would actually be able to spend I would first off put a portion of it into stocks and/or bonds to hopefully increase the value.

Next, I would set a portion aside in trust funds for my grandchildren that would become theirs when they turn twenty-one. Who knows, I might if I deemed necessary, raise the age in which they would have access to it.

Then, I would purchase or build a modest home somewhere in the country with plenty of land around it. I prefer not having neighbors super close. I do not need or want a gigantic house. Just one that would sufficiently meet my needs.

I would also donate some of the money to charities that are close to my heart. I would be extremely selective on those charities in which I would choose to contribute.

I would like if at all possible to use a small portion of the money to travel to the various places I can only dream about visiting.

It is fanciful to think about what one would do with a billion dollars. Saying you’d spend it one way, however, good intentions aside one never knows until one would actually obtain it.

How would you spend a billion dollars if you had it? Spend it on yourself? Give it away? Invest it? Lots to think about on the subject.

Bloganuary Prompt #26: What language do you wish you could speak?

What language do you wish you could speak? The language I wish I could speak would be Spanish. Hablo un poquito de español. I speak a little Spanish, however, I would like to speak it fluently. I took some Spanish in high school, but with lack of constant use I am lacking the ability to truly communicate. I can understand more than I am able to speak. It would be a wish of mine to be able to speak, write, and truly be able to hold a conversation in español.

Bloganuary #14: What is your preferred mode of travel?

What is your preferred mode of travel?

My preferred mode of travel is by car. Usually when I’m going on a long trip I will rent a car. Rental cars have more space and in better condition than any vehicle I have ever owned.

Is there an advantage to using a rental car for road trips? In my opinion, yes definitely. What are those advantages?

There are several advantages:

  • No wear and tear on your personal vehicle …
  • Drive Something More Comfortable …
  • Don’t Stress About Pre-Trip Tuneups …
  • More Space so You Won’t Feel Cramped …
  • Drive a Car in Great Condition …
  • Save Gas … rentals tend to be more fuel-efficient …

These advantages are the reason I prefer to travel by car whenever I travel, especially for long distances.

Bloganuary #12: What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

The chore that I find the most challenging to do would be any chore I try to do while my grandson is awake. He demands so much of my attention that I can’t take my eyes of of him to do laundry, watch dishes, sweep or mop. I especially find it challenging to do any chores during the day. I have to clean the bathroom late in the evening, so as not to have my grandson near the cleaning materials, such as the toilet cleaner and the toilet brush.

The most challenging chore during the day is trying to sweep and mop the floors. Why is it challenging? It is because my grandson loves to try to help, but he is more in the way than helping when I move furniture to clean the dust from under where they lay.

Have you ever tried to clean with a three year old trying to help? It takes twice as long and is sometimes irritating even though I know he only wants to be a good helper.

Bloganuary Prompt #18: What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat?

What’s your favorite meal to cook and/or eat?

I do not think I have a favorite meal that I like to cook or eat. However, my family likes it when I make homemade enchiladas.

My enchiladas are made using ground turkey 🦃, diced green chilies 🌶️, chopped black olives 🫒, and shredded cheddar pepper jack cheese 🧀, all inside a fajita tortilla. I use red enchilada as inside and out.

Homemade Enchiladas

My family likes them better than frozen enchiladas and even restaurants enchiladas. Where we live it is difficult to find authentic Mexican food.

What is your favorite meal to prepare, cook, and/or eat? What do you prefer: to cook and eat at home or go out to a restaurant to and eat?

Bloganuary Prompt #10 – Has a book changed your life?

Has a book changed my life? I have read many books throughout my years. I have read fiction, non-fiction, romance novels, family history, and many other various types of books. I have read actual physical books 📚 and other books I have read through Kindle and/or iBooks.

While most books I read only once, there are others I have read several times. Do any of them affect me in any way? Yes, some do. Some make me laugh, some make me cry, and yet others make me think 🤔 and ponder on what I have read.

Holy Bible

The book that has had the most influence on my life is the Holy Bible. How has it influenced my life, you might ask? The Holy Bible has changed my life in so many ways. It is the source that let me know God loves me. It has provided the knowledge the God forgives me, not just once, but over and over again. It is my lifeline, my guide book about how to live my life. It is the authority, the origin of my faith in Jesus Christ.

Bloganuary Prompt #8: How far back in your family tree can you go?

How far can I go back in my family tree? It varies on the line I follow. On my paternal side, I can trace the paternal line back for eleven generations. On my father’s maternal line I can trace back for ten generations.

For my maternal line, I can trace my mother’s paternal line back for twelve generations. Now for my mother’s maternal line, I have only been able to trace back six generations.

The paternal line traces my father’s paternal ancestors. My father’s father, his father’s father, and so on.

The paternal maternal line traces my father’s mother’s mother, her mother’s mother and so on and so on.

The maternal line traces my mother’s side of my family. My maternal paternal line traces my mother’s father’s father, his father’s father, etcetera. My maternal maternal line traces only the females. My mother’s mother, her mother’s mother, her mother’s mother and so forth.

Have y’all tried to trace your family history? It can be quite interesting and for some very confusing. Our ancestral DNA 🧬 often reveals a different story then the one we’ve been told all our lives.
