Coffee Chat - someone else

Yay....   Tuesday ... Coffee Chat time!

This is one of my favorite spots of the week.....  Really easy.... Hop on over to my sister from another mother over at  Time out for Mom for her weekly coffee chat....this week's topic: 

 

Not Myself These Days:  If you could live another person's life for a week, who would you choose?    Will it be the opposite sex?  A celebrity?   Or, make the prompt interesting: is it the cat's life for you?


If I could live another person's life for a week, it would have to be a younger version of myself. I would love to go back to a week when I was twenty and ENJOY it...rather than look back on that year longingly. I was living in a dorm --actually was an RA, had a gorgeous boyfriend, was studying history and living in Santa Barbara, CA ..... you know where the sun shines throughout the winter and having a tan is expected.  But rather than live in the moment I was a worry wart....about absolutely everything! and it was the first time I remember being a deep depression..... SO if I could back to that year and one week in it.... I think it would probably change the entire outcome of the rest of my life. (but then I wouldn't have my wonderful kids....) (or would I??)

Hop on over to Les's house to see what everyone else had to say...

Six Word Saturday - What a Ride!

My life's a roller coaster ride

Sometimes I'm straining to reach end

Other times it is easy sailing 

Hardest part are those darn curves!

Want to play along? All that's necessary to participate is to describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. For more information, try clicking here. Feel free to explain or not explain. Add an image, a video, a song, nothing. I love seeing what everyone does with their entries.

Old School Blog Hop

I have been tagged by my friend Susi over at Boca Frau for a Good Old School Blog Hop.... it is really quite simple...

Answer the questions and pass it on...


1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago I was trying to figure out what to do with an 11,12, and 13 year old who were always complaining about something. I worked 30 miles from home and in order to get home in time for dinner I had to make sure they got to school. My youngest two would get dropped off, but my oldest had to find his own way (seems like some things never change!)

2. What 5 things are on your to-do list?

Go see my new granddaughter

Work on the baby samplers

Clean the house

Figure out how to juggle two project simultaneously for work
