A - Z Blogging Challenge - Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How

It is important to use these words when writing a story.  Who, What, When , Where, Why, and How.  They are called the six W's.  They are interrogative pronouns.

I am going to use these words to tell my story.

Who am I?  I am the mother of four children, just about all grown.  My youngest is still at home, he is 18 and a senior in high school.  I used to work as a bookkeeper, but my job was downsized a little over a year ago.  I am married to my second husband, the father of my youngest child.  My first husband died when my older children were 2, 4, and 6.  I spent a few years raising them before getting involved with someone else.  So there is an 18 year age difference between my 3rd and 4th child.

What is my favorite color?  My favorite color is red!  I love wearing the color red.  I have always had really dark hair and I have a dark complexion.  I thing red goes with with my coloring. 

When will I get another job?  I don't know.  I would like to retire.  I have thought of trying to make money with my blog so I don't have to go out and get another job.  My husband says I need to go back to work in the fall when my son goes to school.  He thinks I need to work to contribute to our son's education.  I can't draw any of my retirement until I reach age 62, which is a few more years.

Where is my favorite place to travel?  Those of you who have been reading my blog probably already know this.  I traveled to France in April of 2012, and I returned to Europe and visited England, France, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein, and Switzerland in late October 2012.  My favorite place is Paris!  I loved everything about it!  I would like to live in Paris.  It speaks to me!

Why am I trying to lose weight?  I have been losing weight my entire adult life.  Even when I was 120 pounds I thought I needed to lose weight.  Now that I am over 170, I really need to lose weight.  My doctor agrees with me now.  It used to be all about how I looked, now it is about being healthy.  I think when you get older you are concerned about staying healthy so you can have an active life, at least that is how I feel.

How do I plan to lose the weight?  I am doing my best to give up wheat and sugar.  I also feel that it is extremely important to exercise regularly.  I think the combination of those things will allow me to get to a healthy weight.  It is all about making good choices and doing it consistently.
