Wednesday's Question of the Day

Hope you all don't mind if I have a shot at this one. . . 1. What is your first memory of school? 2. Have you been to Disneyland/Disneyworld and what was your favorite ride? 3. Would you rather go on a cruise to a tropical island or Alaska? 4. What's the best thing about yourself that you've discovered since your surgery? Or, if you're pre-op . . . what are you hoping to discover about yourself?

Wow, I really need to update my picture. Forgot to post my own answers! 1. What is your first memory of school? A: I remember getting in a line in front of the door and the teacher telling us it was time for recess. I thought, "What the heck is this recess business?" (I was a first child and nobody explained it to me prior to school) 2. Have you been to Disneyland/Disneyworld and what was your favorite ride? A: Only Disneyland. I think Splash Mountain was my favorite last time. I went one other time when I was 8 and the Jungle Safari and the Haunted Mansion were my favorites that time. 3. Would you rather go on a cruise to a tropical island or Alaska? A: Pre-op I would have said Alaska but now I'm not sure. My brother-in-law is going to Jamacia on his mission and I'd love to take a cruise there to pick him up. 4. What's the best thing about yourself that you've discovered since your surgery? Or, if you're pre-op . . . what are you hoping to discover about yourself? A: I discovered myself period! I'm very confident now (to a fault sometimes) and others can see the person I always knew was in there somewhere.

What a fun question. 1. What is your first memory of school? I remember being in Kindergarten and laying down to take naps on a little map. I remember that when the other children were napping my teacher called me over and gave me a small Hershey's chocolate bar (Why, I don't remember). I also remember that my teacher was really, really old. When I look back at class pictures I think she must have been all of 30 years old. 2. Have you been to Disneyland/Disneyworld and what was your favorite ride? I've been to both Disneyland and Disneyworld. I love the rides like Pirates of the Carribean and it's a small world. My favorite part of Disneyworld was Epcot Center. 3. Would you rather go on a cruise to a tropical island or Alaska? I've been on a cruise and went to the Bahamas. I would love to go back. It's a wonderful place. I'd love to go to more tropical islands but then I want to go to Alaska too. 4. What's the best thing about yourself that you've discovered since your surgery? Or, if you're pre-op . . . what are you hoping to discover about yourself? That I can fit into a regular chair!

1. What is your first memory of school? I remember laying on some butcher paper so my Preschool teacher could trace around me (can you believe I use to fit on a piece of butcher paper-stretched out, none the less! amazing!) 2. Have you been to Disneyland/Disneyworld and what was your favorite ride? I went to Disney land once when I was a freshman in highshool, my favorite ride was Montazuma's revenge (sp) and only because there was this OLD man that ate yogurt and bran every morning on our bus with us that could not wait to go on this ride...it must be why I remember it. 3. Would you rather go on a cruise to a tropical island or Alaska? HMmm. I use to would say ALaska, but then I moved here so now I'd pick the tropical islands so I can go get thawed out for a bit! Ü 4. What's the best thing about yourself that you've discovered since your surgery? Or, if you're pre-op . . . what are you hoping to discover about yourself? That some people truly love ME no matter what size I am and some people don't.

So the old guy ate a lot of bran and was excited to go on Montezuma's Revenge. Hummmm, that's an entertaining coincidence.

1. What is your first memory of school? Kindergarten, standing in a line against a wall. 2. Have you been to Disneyland/Disneyworld and what was your favorite ride? Yes, Disney land. I am taking my family there next week for 3 days too! (just thought I'd add that) I have no clue which ride I like. Right now I wish I was going after the surgery cause I don't know if I will be able to ride with my kids... Or if I'll want to try only to be humiliated because I won't fit. 3. Would you rather go on a cruise to a tropical island or Alaska? Alaska. I have always wanted to do that, want to see the glaciers! 4. What's the best thing about yourself that you've discovered since your surgery? Or, if you're pre-op . . . what are you hoping to discover about yourself? I loved how Lexie responded to this question! I hope that I discover more energy! I hope that I discover my zest for life again and that I will want to go rapelling and swimming and stuff I don't ever do any more.
