I saw this whole Five Minute Friday idea awhile back on The Gypsy Mama and thought I should try it sometime...
She provides a "prompt", you take it and write on it~ but only for five minutes.
Today's prompt is: If you met me...
go
If you met me, I hope you would feel like I was easy to talk to. I think we'd laugh. I hope I would be a good initiator of conversation; that you would feel cared for and encouraged. I would probably say at some point during our conversation: "I'll pray for you about that". (And I would mean it.) I hope that I would be a better listener than a talker. (But that's pretty iffy).
If you met me you would hear me talk about Mark and my kids, because I love them so much. We might talk about books we've read, homeschooling, adoption, parenting, and maybe even Survivor-- if you watch it, that is.
If you met me, I hope you'd like me.
stop
(Was I supposed to not edit that? At all? Because if so, I cheated a little. I figure I earned some editing time due to the fact that for the first two minutes I just sat here, staring at my cursor.)

ha ha....I sit there thinking too. The words suddenly freeze somewhere between my head and my fingers! Great post :)
ReplyDeleteI have meet you.
ReplyDeleteAll of the above is true and happened during our time together except the Survivor discussion!
And I do really like you :o)
Love reading your posts!! You are always so encouraging! I'm so glad I found your blog a few years ago!

Well, I've met you and I'd say that's about right. :>
ReplyDeleteOh that blank screen. I was in the same boat and I just want to go do it over again now that I am a little bit more awake. So hard not to cheat and edit. I have never been to your blog before and I must say it is so pretty. I love the design. I look forward to looking around a bit.
ReplyDeleteWell.....I HAVE met you, and I think you are ALL that!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have met you, and I am all the better for it!
((just for the record, I was going to make some sarcastic comment about me wanting to edit your post FOR you...then I thought maybe I shouldn't say that....but I guess I just did!?!? Of course, I would only have really nice things to add.))
I want to meet you! I want to meet you! I think we would have so much in common!
ReplyDeleteGreat posting idea, sounds fun! I'll have to hunt down the Gypsy Momma.
Have a great week Stacy!
Thank you ALL for your kind words... :)
ReplyDeleteLove ya!

Stacy-
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Didn't realize someone else out there was The Gypsy Mama ... good thing my blog is private and I don't write on it much anyway and I just change the name whenever I feel like it. I felt like "Gypsy Mama" was appropriate for me for this year. :)
ANYWAY - I think that all the things you said are true... and I DO like you and really enjoy spending time with you. You inspire me and encourage me even when I'm far from Washington. I appreciate your friendship. :)
Love,
Colleen
You are too cute. I probably would have stared at the cursor for at least 3 minutes!! :) TOTALLY would have cheated too. I think you did a great job describing yourself though.
