Just thought I'd answer a few random questions so that we could get to know each other better. Imagine we're sitting in a quaint, sun-lit room by the window seat, each with a warm beverage in hand. Isn't this cozy?
What food reminds you of your birthday?

| It's that delish dish in the front |
It's so funny but actually, the food for my sister's birthday is what comes to mind. Each year, Mom would ask us what we wanted for our birthday. I'd always say homemade spaghetti, but my sister would always ask for pork tonkatsu (which is deep fried pork cutlets cut into strips). I remember it so vividly because we only had it once a year because it was so involved. I think Sis asked for it at least six years in a row.
What is your favorite song from a Broadway musical?
Growing up it was probably Oklahoma! (yes there actually is punctuation there). Now, I'd have to say Aida. It's so beautifully haunting. Picking a favorite song would have to depend on what mood I'm in.
Is it Written in the Stars is one of my favorite duets. I'd grow a Pinocchio nose if I said that I've never cried while watching this play.
Who would you consider your enemy or rival?
Mirror, mirror on the wall...
It's myself, of course. I am my own greatest enemy. *
Be prepared for some philosophizing. You've been warned*.
When I meet new people, I've been told I'm prickly. Who else can I blame for not doing those exercise videos, for eating the entire batch of chocolate chip cookies, or for staying up waaaay too late watching Doctor Who? You get the picture.
What is one thing that is hard for you?
I find it terribly difficult to
open up about myself. Rejection looms ever present, but what am I really afraid of? That people won't like me?
What is something that is hard for you to do?
Other Random-ness
I love to read and write (obviously). I'm MWK (married with kids) and a SAHM (stay at home mom) and I love it!
Growing up I:
- Dug for salamanders under logs while in the rain
- I lived in what my friends lovingly called "the sticks" (see no. 1)
- I experienced my first culture shock when I moved to Canada while I was sixteen (Yeah, they all speak English up there, but I was thrown for an arctic loop for a while).
What about you?
- Did you ever get left behind as a child?
- What TV show would you hate to watch?
- What environmental message do you disagree with?
- Where does a good night's sleep rank on your priorities?
p.s. Shh! Don't tell anyone, but I've got a wonderful little giveaway coming up, so stay tuned!
