Life experience is worth a lot. If you were to receive an honorary degree based on your life experience, what would it be in?
I think mine would be in juggling or maybe multi-tasking. Over the weekend when we were still living in the hotel, I made a trip home to do some laundry. I took clothes out of the dryer and put them in a laundry basket and took it out to the car to be folded later. I found myself at a stoplight with a little extra time on my hands...so guess what I did? You're right, I started folding my laundry. I folded my laundry while waiting at every stoplight on my way back to the hotel. I'm not exactly proud of that...but it does make me laugh at myself.
Why did I do that? Part of the issue is that I despise waiting and the other part of the problem is that I don't like wasting time. If I can get two things done at the same time, then that's what I do. Three? Even better. I hear multi-tasking makes life more stressful...but I think for me feeling like I'm wasting time makes life more stressful. I thrive on the feeling I get when I finish a task...that sense of accomplishment.
How about you? What would your degree be in?

I'd love to get one in reading!
Too funny! Did you get any strange looks at those stoplights?
I think I deserve a Phd in chocolate. I've done my share of research....
I would have a degree in hospitality/entertainment management. I seem to be singlehandedly responsible for planning the social lives of my 3 children and my husband, along with all family vacations, outings, etc. I should be a cruise director.
