50 questions to free your mind: Part 2

First, and most importantly because I forgot yesterday, HAPPY NURSES WEEK to all of my fellow nurses and future nurses. Give yourself a pat on the back for being awesome!

 

True story.

 

Free ice cream yesterday at work for nursing appreciation. Sooo yummy.

 

As part of my 101 goals in 1001 days, I am answering 50 Questions that will Free Your Mind in 10-Question segments. To read Part 1 click here.

11. You're having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful an unjustified. What do you do?
Defend my friend, of course. If their criticism is unjustified, then I will definitely put them in their place (in a respectful way) and let them know that it is NOT okay to talk about that person in front of me.

12. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?
I'm not really understanding why I'm offering advice to a newborn... but lets roll with it. I would tell them to do what makes them happy. To pray about the big decisions and to always do what they feel is right in their hearts.

13. Would you break the law to save a loved one?
Save their life? Duh. To save them from getting into trouble, for something they did? Nah.. I'm a big believer in paying your dues and suffering consequences you bring upon yourself. Sorry 'bout it.

14. Have you ever seen insanity where you later saw creativity?
I suppose so. I can't think of anything specific, but I think everyone thinks most ideas are crazy...until they work.

15. What's something you know you do differently than most people?
The way I eat reeses cups. I pick off the thick chocolate from the edges and just eat the center. Everyone that has seen me do this thinks I'm crazy. But I don't like the chocolate part as much as I like the peanut butter part.

16. How come the things that make you happy don't make everyone happy?
Because we all have our own personal preferences. I like my tea cold and sweet, some people like it hot and lemony. That's what makes this world a beautiful place. Everyone has their own likes, dislikes, opinions, and things that they love.

17. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What's holding you back?
I really want very much to travel. I've started a list of places I want to go and I plan on eventually going to all of them. As for what's holding me back, mainly money. The fact that we're working on getting approved to buy a house. And that I'm going back to school. There are a lot of things. And I'm okay with waiting. They say that good things come to those who wait. Or patience is a virtue.

18. Are you holding on to something you need to let go of?
I can't think of anything in particular...

19. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?
Florida. Because I pretty much lived there most of my life. Because there's a beach. The winters are mild. I also wouldn't mind South Carolina.

20. Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
Sometimes I do. No I don't really believe it makes the elevator faster. But most elevators won't shut the doors unless a button has been pressed.
