an interview with smartmama

"Smart mama, recently you have been blogging as though you are being interviewed by some anonymous questioner, can you explain this?"

Well yes, after all we are taught to "be prepared" right? As is I am way too unpolished for improptu spots on David Letterman, ET, or 20/20 and should I stumble upon sudden fame I would find myself totally unprepared.
So today my readers you may ask smart mama all your burning questions and I will do my earnest to answer them to the best of my abilities...
1.snowy sundays 2. no school mondays 3. reading and writing

great picture of you.
Tell me Smart Mama...WHY are you willing to shovel walks in your Sunday best????
YOU are a trooper!
Ok. I will leave you with that question and go think of more...this is FUN!

smart mama said...

Someone told on me...

okay I will give you pick your own adventure answer to this question...
1. My hair didn't look good when i left so I figured if i stayed out in the snow I could blame it on getting wet.
2. The only good cover for exercising on the sabbath- the knee high leather boots throw people off.
3. My parents raised me to be a good Mormon girl- useful and the like.
4. I wanted to show off my cheap new $6 metallic gray coat from old navy clearance.
5. Because I'd rather shovel snow than a lot of other stuff...

Ditto of the picture - I LOVE it. :) Hmmm....I'd love to know your most embarrassing moment - EVER! Do tell.

okay so I was walking across BYU campus I suddenly I saw a pair of green victoria secret underwear coming out of the leg of my jeans- so what did I do- stop and extricate them and shove them in my bag as fast as possible- and hope few people noticed--yes right in front of the HBLL what else could I do...

andrea said...

surely you have more embarrassing moments than that...:0)

you look beautiful in that picture...I am going to have to ponder all of the many questions I could ask and come back. This is going to take some thought!

Do you remember my most embarrassing moment? At SW Plaza? I am pretty sure you were there.

smart mama said...

I try to avoid utter humiliation- and then again I have fairly thick skin... I can't think of anything really bad...

andrea- do remind me...

okay if you want one form HS days- maybe when I was on my AP history study retreat up at estes park- and one night everyone asked for my swelvet and shequita inner city romance novel recitations and as it turns out a whole bunch of people (not from our group) gathered outside and were listening

Cute picture. I have so many embarrasing moments, I could lend you a few. I will save them for night when we need some new material you haven't heard.....like losing my g's in aisle of the plane. xoxoxo

I have a question. Months ago you mentioned something about some idea for some type of multi-person possibly art-related project that you were formulating.

First, do you have any idea what I am referring to? And second, what was the great idea?

smart mama said...

tamlynn let me respond with
1. possibly?
2. I vaguely remember having this idea about a cool LDS women artist group a few months back but then i got so caught up in new things I abandoned it- ps how is the painting these days- any new work??

Caveat- new wild ideas come in and out of my brain kind of like mr. toad in wind and the willows- I have learned if I don't write them down they are quickly bumped out by new ideas...

Swimmingmom said...

What a funny thread. I like your picture. I did see that metalic jacket at ON and thought it was cool, but no, not anyone could pull it off. I'd imagine it looks great on you.

As far as a question, hmmm, I'm always asking you questions about something. I think I've just about run out.

Oh I know, how is it that you know so much about so many things? Kinda like my Dad?

smart mama said...

you are funny donna- I can claim bits of unformation on a range of topics- where it has come from I know not...sadly much of it is not highly useful
