Q: what is your idea of a romantic evening?

I messed up, but am glad to see I'm not alone. I too answered the question from the bottom of page one so here goes with the next in line.

A: My idea of a romantic evening would be my husband dropping me off at a nice hotel with a pizza and saying becouse I love you so much I'm giving you a night of peace and quiet.

Q: What is it about cats that attracts you?

A. The fact that they are so independent. They play only when they want to, eat when they want to, want attention when they want it! And some of the different breeds are so beautiful!

Q. If you could be any animal, any breed what would you be & why?

A: As bad as this sounds, I think I most want and like being a human. Only reason being...we are pretty much at the top of the food chain!!

Q: If you were on Survivor..what would your essential item be?

A. Hard question to answer..... I would say water. Water is an essential in the wild to keep you from becoming dehydrated. I would have to chose that as a #1 item.

Q. If you were stranded on an island all by yourself, & you could take only 1 personal belonging, what would you take and why?

A. I would bring my pillow. I cannot live with out it. I even take it on vacation with me when I fly!

Q. What makes your "best friend" the best?

A. Best friends I consider to be someone that has been there for me through good and bad. That's why I have more than one. More than your own family. That says alot.

B. What is your favorite perfume (aftershave)?

Donna - I have "lots" of best friends too (besides my fiance). The 4 of us have been joined at the hip since 7th grade (about 11 years ago). Even though we now all live in separate states (VA, OH, PA and OR), we see each other as often as possible. We have even continue a tradition that started when we were 16. One weekend in the summer we go to my friend's grandfather's cottage with no phone, no tv, no boys, and plenty of hotdogs, marshmellows, beer and giggles.
__________

A. I don't use perfume, and neither does anyone who wants to be close to me. I have some strange reaction to most perfume in which I cannot breathe or swallow well.

Q. What is your favorite Olympic winter game to watch? (it is snowing here so I am thinking about skiing)

A. Figure Skating, without a doubt. We don't have television, and I really prefer it that way, but I do miss watching figure skating!

Q. If I were buying you a house, let's say I gave you $1 million US, where would it be & what would it be like?

Remember, this is hypothetical. I don't even have a miliion dollars. YET!

A: If you gave me a million bucks, I would build a house (a mansion) right here in Iowa, cause that's where all my family memories are, and I love Iowa....even though it can be a bit dull at times. And I would have a huge kitchen (cause I love to cook) and I would make a special addition for my cats!!! A big playroom!!! (oh,,,and of course it would have to have a fireplace....I love my fireplace &so does Merlin...LOL)

Q: If you could go back to high school....just for awhile, is there anything you would do differently than you did?

If I could go back to highschool I would a minutes but only if I could go back to highschool in the time I actually went there (80's) and with the people I wnet with!
What would I do doffierently?
Iwould take the subjects I wanted not what they told me I would need to succeed in life. I would have had a whole truck loa more fun than I did! Cause hey facet now that I am28 well established in a career I look back and the stuff I learned there doesn't really count for much!

Q: If someine made you and indecent proposal would you accept?

A. Heck no! First of all, there is nothing worth losing the respecct of my husband and my own dignity. Secondly, there is nothing that someone could offer that I could not get for myself with a bit of hard work.

Q. What is your favorite guilty pleasure?

A: Oh man, that one's easy for me!!! My favorite guilty pleasure is eating all the foods that I normally avoid, because I try so hard to watch my weight. So my favorite guilty pleasure is eating cheese curls and kit kat bars!!! Which I don't do very often...maybe once every three months, if I'm lucky!!!!

Q: If you could be any age again, what age would it be?

A: Sixteen. I was Sixteen in 1988
and in grade 11 at school it was
the best year of my life. Before
my Dad got sick and I was dating the most beautiful boy at school (for the second year running!)
and had a really easy year in
school. I made a lot of great
friends that year too. Plus since Richard was in grade 13 that year it was our lastyear in school together! Ahhhhh the memories. Yah so 16
it would be.

(you know Good night John Boy?)

Grandpa Walton is my favorite. I loved that show and wished so bad I could run away and become a walton! LOL

Do you really have solitude in a houseful of cats???

A: No, I never have solitude..however I don't think it's a bad thing. If I wasn't so crowded and busy all the time, I would not know I was alive and well

Q: What is your favorite board game?

Sandie...DUH!!

A. Scrabble of course. It stimulates the brain cells (what little I have left) AND gives me something to do at work.

A. If you could bring back one deceased person from your past for only 20 minutes, who would that be and why?

A: I would bring back my grandfather. He passed away at the beginning of this month. I wish I could tell him how important he was to me and how much he influenced my life and who I am today. I would also like explain why I never called when he was so sick, not because I didn't love him, but because it broke my heart to hear him like that.

Q: If you had all the money in the world, what kind of car would you drive?

(I am asking this because I just found the perfect wedding dress for me, but it was $4,000... and I wouldn't pay that much even if I could)

Easy.... a brand new Mercedes Benz. Silver or Black. I think those are such classy cars!!

If you could have any job, what job would you have?
