Questions:
1. What is something you've always wanted to do but never have? Why not?
My husband is a man of a million hobbies. I'm always trying to find mine. I suppose at the moment my hobbies would be cooking and drinking wine with friends (um, yes, that counts!) but I'm really passionate about music. In high school I was in musicals and choir and loved to dance. Something I've always wanted to do would be to somehow morph that into an hobby. Adult tap dancing class? Hmmm...
2. Fill in the blanks. People sometimes think I'm ___ but really, I'm ___.
This is a tough one for me. I think I'm a pretty easy person to read? You tell me!!
3. What are your favorite kinds of gifts to receive?
My favorite gifts these days are gifts of time. Like when Kyle does the grocery store run so I can relax or watches Cooper while I clean my closet. I know its lame, but my time is a scarce resource and when someone helps me produce more of it that is a huge gift!
4. What is something someone has done for you that really touched you?
This just happened yesterday...good timing! I was standing down the street talking with my two neighbor mom friends and watching four kids run around. There is another little girl just Cooper's age and between the two of them some mom is always scrambling to keep kids out of the street and within sight. Yesterday, Cooper was pushing his toy up and down the sidewalk and I was running after him, calling for him to turn around. About the 10th time, he turned around and came back on his own and before I knew it all three of the moms were cheering for him and telling him what a good boy he was for listening. I could really tell that my friends were proud of Cooper too and that touched me!
5. What are three things you really like about yourself?
Sheesh! Um... 1) I like my willingness to try new things 2) I like my ability to make decisions, not a lot of gray area going on over here! 3) I like my eyelashes. They always say boys get the best eyelashes but I think mine are pretty OK!
6. If you have kids, what are three attributes you hope to instill in them?
Kindness, tolerance of people that are different than you and ambition to go after what they want in life.
7. What is something you struggle with?
Easy. I struggle every day with balancing my time, energy and focus between work and home. Oh, mother's guilt!
8. What are you really good at?
I'm really good at listening. Sometimes I think I missed my calling as a therapist. Other times I think I missed my calling as a veterinarian, go figure.
9. What do you wish you could be better at?
I wish I could be better at getting more involved in things outside of work and home. My friends Lyndsey and Whitney are always going going going. I really admire their energy!
10. Tell a funny joke.
I tell the worst jokes, ask Kyle. Here goes!
Q: How do you make Lady Ga Ga cry?
A: Poke her face.
11. How many hours do you sleep per night, on average?
Probably 7. Sometimes 4 sometimes 9 but 7 is a good goal!
