Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.
We are always joking around in my family so whenever we are waiting for big news to take that edge off we never give the good news right away. We always pretend it’s the opposite then it takes a couple of attempts to figure out is it really bad news or is it really good news.
It’s good because when it’s actually bad news you have a little hope that noo they will tell me the truth eventually and if it turns out to actually be bad you have almost numbed the shock a little bit.
O another little tradition that we have recently stopped because somehow we are all “adult adults” is because we travel a lot we “take” each others things right before the trip and you don’t realize till you get to where you are going that 😮 “our” favourite is perfume is gone. Others may call that “theft” we call that affection to be returned on another trip
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
I’ve heard different people talking about how beautiful Banff is but I paid it no mind till this year. While wandering through Europe I saw so many mountains and I remembered how much I love mountains.
I’ve been obsessed with water which is my first love in an “elemental” sense but I think 2024 will be my hiking through the mountains year. I also hope to be able to do yoga at the top of a mountain one day but I think first I should visit Banff.
If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
If I could make my pet understand anything it would be to be quiet and not so scared of everything. She barks at the pegions that sometimes sit on the balcony which is fine but she also barks at all dogs on our walks and when there’s someone passing by our door. In an apartment that’s quite a lot of barks and let’s not forget the daily postman bark. I’ve tried to teach her too “talk” and “be quiet” but I probably haven’t been as dedicated as I should but one day I hope I’ll say quiet and she will understand.
Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
It apparently means “who is like the Lord” or “who resembles the Lord” but I’m not sure if it was picked by my parents first the meaning or they just liked it. I don’t have a middle name although I do have a song by the Beetles with my name. I also loved Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion movie even though they spelt my name 😑 😊.
When I was little my pet names were mich-mich, michelin tire in UK it’s usually Chelle/Shelly and more recently many people have taken to Michelle Obama when they hear my name but my family just call me Michy pronounced mee-shii.
The strangest spelling of my name I’ve seen is Mishel and for some reason my grandfather spells it Mitchell. I have a niece named after me but they call her Mimi which is what my mums side of the family calls me. It’s always fun to hear someone is called Michelle and give them the one l or two l’s look 👀.
Apparently my lucky number is 4 but in reality I think 13 is my number and apparently it can mean “as fair as the Lord” which I think I like and agree with more than “like the Lord”.
