We’re on another road trip to Florida; this time to Orlando to see our favorite mouse. The problem is, everyone has the same idea and traffic is ridiculous. If you follow me on Twitter, you would see that I’m not handling it too well either. The kids, they’re fine; it’s me who’s going crazy. So in an effort to get my mind off the fact that we have traveled five miles in one hour, I made a video and did a Skirt! 24/7 interview.
Road Trip Beats
24/7 with Sherrelle and Family
Skirt! is one of my favorite monthly newspapers; I always read it from cover to cover and I particularly enjoy the 24/7 page. I have known a couple of people featured. But since I have yet to be featured on the 24/7 page, each moth I interview myself. While stuck in the car, I thought it would be fun for all of us to answer some of the 24/7 questions (my son was being all “teenage-ry” and didn’t participate.)
Words I live by:
James: “The difference between me and you is that I make this look good.” -Will Smith, Men in Black
Me: “It is not enough to do your very best; you must do what is required of the situation.” –Cathy Hughes
I can’t live without:
Girly: Marcus (my stuffed dog)
James: music, my iPhone
Me: sunshine, sleep
One thing I never want to do again:
Girly: be sick in the hospital
James: leave for Florida during Spring Break late in the morning
Me: be a teenager (although it was much easier than being a parent of a teenager!)
If I could be totally wild:
Girly: I would stand on my head all day
James: quit my job and coach AAU high school basketball
Me: be a beach bum in St. John
The most important thing I ever lost:
Girly: the cutest dog (Tiger Lilly, a therapy dog who helped me when I was in the hospital)
James: my Grandfather’s WWII uniform
Me: my trust in people
I’d like to learn to:
Girly: knit
James: speak Portuguese
Me: play the guitar
I wish I’d known:
Girly: Mommy before I was born
James: that Google was going to be so big (I would have bought stock)
Me: that I might have wanted a third child
Something most people don’t know about me:
Girly: that I can dance really good
James: that I am irrationally afraid of birds
My first job:
James: a paper route for the Oakland Tribune, as a teenager I worked in a deli and my first “real” job was for Wild West records
Me: a Keebler Elf, as a teenager I worked in a candy shop and in college as a Teaching Assistant
Never…..
Girly: forget to Twitter once a day *(now that’s funny..is she our kid or what?)
James: start the day without a game plan
Me: be afraid to speak your mind
I’m guilty of:
Girly: eating too many sweets
James: keeping my phone on during the whole airplane ride
Me: speaking my mind maybe too much
If I were a super hero/heroine I would:
Girly: be Animal Girl and translate animal talk
James: go inside people’s minds and look at their motives
Me: save the world from mediocrity. Oh wait…I already do that!
We finally made it to Disney World after a very long drive.
