Soda or Pop?
Neither. I’ve been “clean
and sober” since August 1, 2009, just
after trek. I’m an ice water girl these
days.
What would you
consider your best trait?
I’m not sure. Maybe,
the unnatural ability to volunteer, seemingly for everything. But, that said, it may not always be my "best" trait. Good question. If you have an idea for me, please let me know.
What advice would you
give to yourself at 13?
“Relax about him, already.
He marries someone else, but you end up friends. It is much more comfortable this way. Trust me.”
Romance, Action or
Mystery/Thriller?
Of those three…probably, romance…but not that slimey Harlequin kind. Give me a good, well written, Austenesque story. Those, I love! Actually I just finished P.D. James’ “Death Comes to Pemberley” which is both a mystery
and a little Regency romance.
Would you rather
vacation on the West coast or the East?
Vacation, you say?
East coast…I LOVED Harry Potter World at Universal Orlando, and would go
back in a heartbeat. I’d love to take my kids to Washington DC and see everything
we could there in terms of the Smithsonian, history, museums, etc. Maybe visit the Big Apple, and some
other New England revolutionary & Civil war spots, as well as some old church history
places. But then, please let me come back
to the West to live.
Who is your favorite
literary character?
It is hard to beat Elizabeth Bennett. That is one sassy, strong-willed, say-what-you-mean, win-the-guy-in-the-end kind of gal. But I also love
the characters in the Harry Potter series. They are so well written, and I can hear their voices in my head anytime ithink of them. I( may have mentioned that once or twice before.)
What makes you laugh?
My 14 year old son.
More than he should, to be honest. He is too charming for his own good.
What would you buy if
someone handed you $100 and told you to go and spend it on yourself?
I’d have a hard time.
My mom sends money for my birthday with just that direction, and there
are times I really have to think hard about it.
Usually I end up with some needed new clothes, shoes, or books.
What song speaks to
you most at this moment?
Not sure on this one either.
I’m not a big radio listener anymore, and when I do, it seems to always
end up at some classic rock or '80s station. But give me
a big-hair-band tune from back in the day, and I’m all over it. I do love me some Bon Jovi, Van Halen or
Queen on a given day.
Do you have a
favorite poem or quote?
“It is our choices that show who we really are, far more
than our abilities.”
When was the last time you cried?
(And why, if you care to share)
Monday night in FHE…I shared a lesson
on defending our family…and I testified to my kids and hubz how much I love
them and that my strongest wish is to be together with them forever. Bawled like a baby.
