Sandra's Story

Life: there you are minding your own business and ''WHACK'' - the years are gone and gravity has taken over your life and the trolls are looking back at you from your bathroom mirror in the mornings ....... . LOL .. ahhh well - what to say - so many years gone by - got married - had family - got divorced AND now have two BEAUTIFUL little granddaughters. I work in office administration - love my job - date occasionally - well thats not quite true - I date 'rarely' - mr. right kept turning left .... or I kept pushing him left - can't decide which .... ''LMAO'' I am at 'that' age when I wonder what the heck happened to whatshername or where did good old 'whatshisname' go. SO - what have YOU guys been up to ?? HEY - I got an idea - Look me up on facebook and send me a message - I said I had an idea - didnt say it was a good one (harharharharh) - I'd love to know your story - what HAVE you been up to this past 40 years .... ????? FROM Q&A I always wanted to be a mom when I grew up (or the wife of a very wealthy businessman who was out of town on very long business trips all the time but who always had the bank account fully topped-up for me .... tee hee hee). My family and friends thought that was a retarded idea. As it turns out, they were almost right. I relax by watching movie trilogies - sometimes for 12 hours at a time - just get lost in the story - and there you go - your troubles have dissapeared - for a little while anyway. The wildest thing I did in school? Cant say! NO really I cant. If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have COFFEE, COFFEE, and and more COFFEE to be able to deal with the day-to-day. I have lived in so many places - either because dad was military or the ex was in banking - or just so I could clear out some of the juck I had collected over the years - can anyone say "pack-rat" ... The one person (actually two) from my past who I'd most like to see again is SHAREN & BETTE, because I somehow felt such a connection with them. MOVIES are my obsession, that and taking pictures of my granddaughters. My BIGGEST surprise in life was that the ex got re-married before me - AAARRGGHHHH - LOL - he's so brave - and I say GOOD for him. He seems content enough. If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the kitchen -put a big addition on the front of the house so it would be lots bigger - and add on a big deck. My dream home would be just where I am at the time that I'm there. I have learned from my children to NEVER take your kids love and respect for granted - it has to be earned. I admire my Grade ...Expand for more
6 Teacher from Maxwell school in Ottawa - cant remember his name -but he was a great teacher and I had a lot of respect for him even at that young age - I'd like to see him again to tell him that but unfortunately he would be in his hundreds now - maybe I'll look him up in the next lifetime. If I won $100 million, I'd give SOME of it to CHARITIES, then spend the rest on my kids, my family and my friends. HEY WHERE IS THE SPELL CHECK ON THIS THING. To be truly happy? I would be in a self sufficient cabin .... LARGE cabin - with indoor plumbing - cause you gotta have indoor plumbing - on a wooded mountain - with a huge fireplace - solar heat - own water supplyl - garden - some animals - may a nice guy to chop the wood for me ...LOL ..... My current age is .. yeah, AS IF ..... When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be DEAD. I was so completely SURPRISED that they werent - and still aren't ... LOL. Satisfaction is in doig my job to the best of my ability while having fun doing it, otherwise - whats the point ... My first major crush was Jack B. in Ottawa. Nowadays I would be considered a 'stalker' - lol. absolutel moooned over that boy. Whats my style ???? what's 'style' precious.... I share my home with two cats, which I find OK. I was never much of one for sports. I did win a first place bowling trophy or two - which got left behind when I left the ex behind. If I had one do-over??? hmmm - thats a tough one ... I'd join the navy.. and travel the seven seas .... or something. In 10 years, I hope to be ALIVE and I'm going to get there by PRAYING.... A LOT ... My oldest friend - hmmm - I think they are all younger than ME...lol ...that would have to be Sharen ... though we have not seen each other for more than two score and three, or so ... I would surprise everyone at a high school reunion by being still alive and being an office admin assistant - all I ever wanted to be was a mom and "homemaker"... AARRGGG - we can all see how well THAT turned out - LOL. My first job was at FLORIST, where I got paid not much to arrange flowers. What I remember most about it is how good I was at it and that I enjoyed it. My fondest childhood memory I think is at my grandparents old homestead in Mount Uniacke when my uncle built me a horse out of snow - it was remarkable - even now - and absolutely magnificent. I dont know how my friends will remember me - or if they even will. I would hope they remember me with kindness - thats all we can really hope for. WELL - WASNT THIS JUST THE FUNNEST LITTLE QUIZ EVER, EH !!?!!!!
