1. Are you an extrovert or introvert?
2. What is the worst injury you've ever had?
3. Do you have any nicknames?
4. What is your biggest life issue right now?
5. Have you ever played a musical instrument?
1. Being in the ministry I know how to be extroverted, but inside I'm screaming INTROvert!
2. I have been so very fortunate to not have any serious injuries in my lifetime so far. I've only been in the hospital twice and it was to bring home 2 adorable baby boys!
3. Lou Lou, Mamasita and "The Enterprise"...no I will not explain the last one!
4. Continuing to help my boys adjust. It has been up and down and it really feels like we are leveling out! I am so grateful that even though there are things pressing in my life like my dad's health, etc., I really do not have anything to worry or complain about!
5. 4 years of piano lessons w/ "Mrs. Marosock" (who would spit on my arm while she counted beats) and flute in 4th /5th grade.

1) introvert, but have become more extroverted as I get older.
2) knee injuries, resulting in 3 knee surgeries
3)Mom, Bethie, Susanna (Who knows why?)
4) We need a new vehicle and it's a big decision!
5) I played a trumpet for one year - poorly. I do play piano; I took lessons for 8 years.
1) LOVED your answer. For me it totally depends on the situation. and the number of cocktails I've enjoyed ;)
2)Right after I had my bunion surgery I rushed to get out of the boot so I could wear "pretty" shoes for a date. Ended rebreaking the foot and had to spend another six weeks in the walking boot, What a dummy! My c-sections weren't too bad, I just had to hold a pillow over my belly when I had to cough.
3)MAN, I hate all these! Petunia, Gappy and Muppet.
4)Girl, you know my story!
5)flute 5th grade, doesn't work so well with an over bite!
1. i can be both, i'm weird like that.
2. either my broken ankle in 8th grade, or my four surgeries that cut my belly open, do those count?
3. Gertrude, Dardo, dk
4. letting go and letting my kiddos grow up, i am really struggling with one becoming 18 and graduating. ugh. i swear it can't be happening.
5. flute, jr. high, and i can play chords on the piano...i do use my voice as an instrument though, i sing harmony with anyone.
1. I am an Introvert, I am outgoing if I need to be, however I am quiet and shy most of the time.
2. I have had two knee surgery's and one ankle surgery, however not the worst. I fell off of a horse when I was 12 and hit my head on both the tree branch then the rock on the ground, that was possibly the worst.
3. When I was growing up it was 'Nessy'(my middle name is Vanessa) until my sister started calling me 'messy nessy' then it was over, my mom called me 'pudding' I had a roommate in college who called me 'care bear'.
4. I am blessed to be healthy and have a wonderful job and family, I have to say my relationship with my mother, I am working things out with God on that one.
5. I am a wanna be musician, I tried piano, guitar and whatever else I could get my fingers on, but was very intimidated by the music reading and afraid others would make fun of me.
1. Textbook introvert! I am okay in social situatuions, but being around a lot of people totally drains me! I reenergize by being alone...which is not easy when you have four children and you homeschool!
2. Haven't had too many injuries. I guess the worst was in 5th grade when I fell off a tire at school and broke my upper arm. It was too high to cast, so for six weeks I had to wear a sling with and ace bandage wrapped around my upper body to keep it still and was threatened by the doctor that if I moved it, he would have to staple it back together!
3. We will stick with adult nicknames since the childhood ones have scarred me (I kid!). Starlight is the most common, although I really try to get my hubby to call me Star of Royal Beauty Bright--jsut can't seem to get hm trained!
4. My biggest issue right now is getting our household more organized and structured. I know that sounds very small, but when you homeschool, not having the right organization is detrimental. What has worked for us for the last seven years is not working anymore and we are having to make A LOT of changes--which does not come easily for this hater of change!
5. I took piano for 1 year--we couln't afford it after that which was just as well because I just couldn't seem to make my hands do two different things at the same time. I played the flute from 6th grade until I was in 10th grade...didn't really love marching band. My senior year I discovered that I was really better suited for choir, I LOVED it and loved to sing!
1. extrovert for sure...if you have met me for 5 minutes, you know it! :)
2. I have never had a bad injury and never broken a bone, but I did have to have my gallbladder taken out.
3. just mommy!
4. keeping my focus on God when my circumstances are stormy. Knowing/understanding that sometimes He knows that future glory necessitates my enduring some pain right now.
5. I took piano lessons for several years, but I wouldn't say I could "play" the piano. It amazes me that my kids all play multiple instruments when then came from two non instrument playing parents!!
I'm very middle of the road. I can be extroverted, but lately I've become more of an introvert.
I had a bunch of stitches in my head once...from a car accident.
My sister calls me 'J'
Biggest life issue...my bank was hacked this last weekend, cleaned us out.
No instruments for me.
1. Hmmm...More of an extrovert, I believe, with high tendencies of introvert-ness when I'm not in the "mood." lol
2. Broken arm. I've been extremely blessed.
3. Penny, The Ju (got nixed cause people started thinking I was Jewish), J-Rob, and, naturally, Lois Lane (regarding our wedding).
4. Dealing with co-workers.
5. Piano. But not well. My husband has played for over 20 years, and he is amazing. So I just ask him to play whatever I want!
1. Without a doubt an introvert!
2. I've had ACL surgery on both of my knees. I love basketball, but it doesn't like my knees:)
3. Nope
4. Struggling with who I am and how I do things, and how that differs with a lot of the people I am around.
5. Saxophone from 7th grade through high school and now I play guitar. Love them both. I only wish I still had my saxophone, but I had to trade it in to get the guitar:)
Hope you've had a wonderful Wednesday!!
1. introvert mostly.
2. I've never had a broken bone.
3. My real name is Constance but
everyone calls me Connie. Or Mom or Grandma.
4. Finding meaningful things to do now that I'm retired.
5. Play the piano but not real well.
1. Technically an introvert - but I'm getting better at faking it!
2. I had a tracheotomy (where they cut open your neck and stick a tube in it as you aren't able to breath) when I was 18 months, and then broke my ankle the summer before my senior year.
3. Stephie, Stephers
4. Not being so self-centered....
5. Nope, unless you count the "recorder"
1. I used to be SUCH an extrovert, but I'm SO much more introverted now. I don't know what the deal is with that.
2. I was jumping in my sleeping bag as a kid and fell and hit my head on the corner of the TV. I had stitches and all that.
Then another time I wiped out on a motor scooter. That was BAD, one whole side of my body was bleeding. Gross.
3. My dad always called me "Heathro" Don't know why. Lots of friends and family members call me "Heath" for short. Ryan calls me "Sugar pants." :)
4. Biggest life issue? Having our house on the market! one to two showings every day...so stressful! But good...
5. I "played" both the flute and clarinet...but I honestly really never caught on, faked it, and then quit. Not proud :)
1. TOTALLY introverted. I need my alone time to get refreshed after I've been around people too long, even though I love them.
2. Hmmm...nothing really comes to mind...the only time I've been in the hospital is to have Savannah!
3. Just variations of my name - Jack, Jacks, Jackesto.
4. Hmmmm...well, it's sort of a toss-up right now. Dealing with the whole secondary infertility thing has been weighing on me, as well as our financial situation. But I'm hanging in there on both counts!
5. Yes - piano and saxaphone. Still play piano, but haven't picked up the sax in years.
I didn't get online at work yesterday (actually had to work, imagine that) but I'll take a stab at this today anyway!
1. Extrovert in comfortable situations and introvert in uncomfortable situations, if that makes sense! If I know everyone, I can be quite chatty, but if I don't, I'm painfully shy. That has been a major challenge as a Pastor's Wife!
2. I've been pretty lucky too, no major injuries, just 3 c-sections delivering my boys
3. Harm and Harmy. My dad called me princess when I was a little and bones as I get older, luckily he has dropped both!
4. My biggest life issue right now is trying to figure out what the next step God has planned for my family. Don't know if it is time to move on or stay. Quite the dilemma right now, trying to remember to rely on God to lead us!(moving our boys like you had to is an issue too!)
5. I played flute from grade 7 until 12 (haven't touched it since but miss it) and recently taught myself to play piano by chords and now play every Sunday at church.
