I love baked goods and spaghetti

What food would you say is your specialty?

I always love making fresh baked cakes like poundcake or lemon and I really love making all kinds of fresh baked cookies from scratch. It’s so appealing to watch them bake and to teach my kids how to do it when they were little side bar I had an incident where my daughter was baking cookies and the cookies looked really beautiful, the only thing was she forgot to add sugar so if someone had tasted those cookies, it would have been something to think about. We went ahead and fixed it but they came out looking brown like they were chocolate cookies because they had already began to melt from in the oven when she realize she had it as sugar, it was a funny thing that happened, but they still turned out really good. The next thing next thing I love to cook is pasta dishes either macaroni and cheese from scratch or spaghetti. Spaghetti is my all-time favorite meal, so I always love putting that extra love into it because it comes out so wonderful tasting. I don’t make it often because all of those noodles are not good on your stomach, as far as pounds go anyway, I have tried different recipes and they still come out tasting really wonderful.

I have learned healthier ways to cook, but when it comes to my spaghetti, it is the complete fat meal always

Barack Obama become president

What major historical events do you remember?

The day when I saw Mr. Barack Obama become president, Barack Obama was a day I not only was overwhelmed. I was also excited overjoyed. and really really very happy. He not only made it possible for me to see someone like me in the White House as First Lady. He also made it possible to see someone who I could be with who would be the President of the United States. I felt so much pride and gratitude, all at the same time, it brought tears to my eyes. I wanted to be in Washington to watch the inauguration. myself I was so satisfied. Realizing that we as a people could come together and agree to put our differences aside and just pick the right person for the job and we didn’t just do it once we did it twice that day will be forever ingrained in my head the day we knew that he won And it was set in stone

Although after that, the United States failed miserably bringing that non-president. We still got it together that one time, and I am forever grateful for it.

My children I’ve made it through so many things so many obstacles and are still standing they are all in their own world but they are still connected in one way or another they seem to get separated but still come back around they are strong resilient and such lovely people they seem hard on the outside but when you are in the world you can feel their heart and it’s such a great aura to be around them that you wouldn’t understand how a person that has such deep seated pain can still be so grounded and lovely I am so proud of them for so many different reasons as I watch them grow into more mature adults I see them as the epitome of what great human beings are supposed to be and I love them even more.

Most days I wish I was dead

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I walk around with a smile on my face but behind that smile I feel as if my life has been one big disappointment after another I wanted to raise my kids in a good environment taking them on family trips like I experienced as a child what I got was brainwashed by someone who knew I was already vulnerable needing and desiring love to take advantage of me and ruin my children’s lives forever in one way or another.

Some days I think of driving into on coming traffic or taking a bunch of sleeping pills just to stop my pain or to stop thinking that I’ve failed my children even though they are all grown now my pain is still great and I still struggle with it

Rested and still more tired

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Lazy days I try to rest but I still feel more tired I lay down I try to rest I try to clear my mind I try to meditate not think about anything maybe even focus on what is to come and then not focus on anything at all but yet I still feel tired I guess doing all of that trying I’m not resting so I guess I have to not focus so much and just rest

My mom is the first person that comes to mind.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

This is my mom my Beautiful success story she has the most beautiful smile

Since I was a little girl I have always looked at my mom as a success story to me because I have always seen her persevere through everything. I watched her make enormous life decisions get disappointing it and still land on her feet even after my dad passed she went to work she was able to get new cars keep up the house that we were living in maintain her sanity and travel with us to different places in the country in order to keep us involved with family and friends she even moved us across country because of the possibility of building a brand new life even though that ended up being somewhat of a pipe dream that was not reality she still landed on her feet again she has always been a devoted church member a consistent employee for whatever business even a human dictionary a real inspiration to be around. Able to pick up new material fast always showing that she is an asset to whatever she is doing not to mention her phenomenal ability to play piano that I for one have picked up a bit here and there. She has always looked super human to me you never realize someone is getting older until you’ve been away from them for a while. She is still as beautiful as ever though she is still able to live on her own do things on her own maintain her ability to think Moe speak and talk to me often she is simply awesome. Not bad for someone in their 70s she’s beautiful super smart and still capable of being helpful and cherished as I do as much as possible she is the greatest success story that I can think of. She’s giving strong loving considerate always compassionate always had a great work ethic just a all-around great person so she would be the one who I would say it’s not just my hero but is my favorite one to say is my success story.

Looking out even when it doesn’t look like they’re looking out

What makes a good neighbor?

The neighbors of today are a lot different than the neighbors that I knew as a child I knew my neighbors names and their parents everyone on my street we talk to each other we were friends with each other we looked out for each other no one could come on our street without us paying attention or noticing what was happening we made sure everyone was safe even have one of our neighbors went on vacation and something happened to their house our neighbors would let each other spend the night until we got the house together we were that close so to me what makes a good neighbor is someone that you can always know they are there even when you don’t realize they are there they are paying attention to you and you are paying attention to them you are your neighbors friend and not your neighbors gossiper.

Honesty, integrity, and loyalty

What principles define how you live?

The principles that grew up with was always be loyal, be transparent, and be as honest as possible have integrity, and everything that you do, and don’t mislead people, because being misleading can cost you your life always let people make their own choices. Don’t take the choice from them because it’s not fair and it’s not right And they can hurt you in more ways than one when you devote yourself to something follow through because when you follow through more than likely when the tables turn around and you need someone they will follow through for you don’t give to receive give just because because those things Matter the most and it always comes back around and one way or another always have faith and know that things will work out. It might not be the way you see it but it will be the way it needs to be because things always work out in my favor Weather now or later and never give up no matter how bad it looks or how it seems and even if it looks as if everything is going wrong and everyone is against you because it might be 100 knows where are you in 1000 it only takes one gas to make all the difference And I know that yes it’s coming so these are the principles I live by and I haven’t messed yet. I falling down and I’ve been down for a while but I always get back up.

Understanding why!

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I have been fighting Social Security for over six years now and for the life of me I have been in a fog just going through the motions every day trying to figure out what The next step is to get my life back in order which direction to go or whether to just cut my losses and do what I know best to do and every time I start to go in that direction I feel like I am on the brink of, doing something that will turn my life upside down if I go that route because making rash choices in my life in the past has cost me greatly and I don’t wanna do it again even though I don’t regret those choices I don’t want to do them again and end up in a hole bigger than I’ve ever been in even though I’m not happy in the situation I’m in right now and I know I don’t wanna be in it for the rest of my life I don’t want to uproot again and start over somewhere else without having my ducks in a row or having a solid plan I don’t want to begin again without at least having everything that I know I came here with because it wouldn’t be right and I would be devastated so I’m trying to understand what it is that I need to do and why I am so hesitant to move forward even though I know I am able to land on my feet and get things done I just don’t feel like I am supposed to go anywhere right now and I don’t understand why so that is why I am trying to figure out why and why it’s taking so long and it’s such a difficult fight to get everything moving forward for me right now why am I being held here.

I am putting off making plans I am really living my life the way that I want to live it actually finding the love that will love me the way that I am used to being loved having someone who is compatible with me who is honest and loving and giving and has roots like I do and who is honorable who I wouldn’t mind taking Home to my mom and who has morals and things of that sort who I can travel with who will cherish me and celebrate me as I would them this is what I’m putting off with the life I’m living right now it’s like my life is shrouded in secrecy because of who I am with and what I’m dealing with and I’m tired of living in shame. I am a family oriented person and I want the person who I am with to be family oriented as well I love my family and I love traveling I don’t want to be just one of many I am the one and that is how it should be so this is what I’m putting off and I don’t want to continue that for much longer.
