I have some questions for you now!



1) What time do you usually get up every morning? between 6 and 7
2) What is your fav breakfast food? ham, cheddar and broccoli omelet.
3) Favourite all time food? I LOVE Mexican food!

4) What do you think is your best personality trait? Tough one - I going to say loyalty; I am a loyal friend and family member and will stand up for any of my friends or family if challenged.
5) Physical trait? uh none...

I'll go with my eyes.
6) You just celebrated a wedding anniversary (congrats again by the way!)Thanks! how did you know that Aaron was "the one"? We met Freshman year of college, and were friends at first, but it slowly became more and I always wanted to be with him, talk to him, know what he was thinking, etc. As weird as this sounds, I think we both knew even before we started officially dating that this was it for both of us. We just really clicked.
7) If you could have a conversation with Abby and she could speak back..what would you talk to her about? I would ask her if she was happy here with us, if she missed any of the other cats from the shelter, ask what her life was like before the shelter. Ask what we could do better for her.
8) If you could go anywhere on a vacation right now where would you go? I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise. I've always wanted to go there, and I just spent some time editing a friend's pics from there, and now I want to go even more!
9) Can you play a musical instrument? nope!
10) Are you a daytime person or a night owl? definitely daytime!

A cool crisp fall day

Here are a few more for today...

-Have you ever been sitting at a stop light and the left turn light turned green(straight ones did not) and you pulled out? Has anyone NOT done this?

-What is your favorite thing about the government? Least favorite? I am not a very politcal person - I avoid all form of politics. I never like ANY of the candidates for any election!

favorite :We live in a democracy, not everyone has that freedom.

least favorite - personal agendas of elected officials and philibusters



-Have you ever been pooped on by a bird? By anything else? Sure have, there are lots of seagulls and geese around here! Ummmm let's see, what else....cats, a hamster , various insects.... my nieces and nephews....

-What has been the biggest thing about you that has changed in the past 10 years(can be anything-physical, mental, personality, etc).

personality - big time! I have become more outgoing and much more assertive in the past 10 years. When I quit my job a year and a half ago I also changed. The job was wearing me down mentally and physically. Just the fact that I finally took control of my life and quit after 10 years was HUGE. I am a much more relaxed and nicer person without the constant stress I dealt with. My friends and family noticed a change immediately.


What do you think(or maybe hope) will change about you in the next 10 years.


Lose weight.

(Woo Hoo used a new smilie!)

-If EVERYTHING you had for the rest of your life had to be one color, which color would you choose and why?

Blue - it is a calming and peaceful color. I don't need constant action, calming is good.

What does your DH do for a living? He is a Computer Engineer. He has some big fancy official title, but don't ask me what it is. He has his bachelor's in Computer Engineer and Masters in Computer Science. He is actually working from home today on the other computer in this room, programming.

Is he a "cat person"? Very much so! I believe if the choice was between me or the cat, he would choose the cat!

Do U have any Human babies? no

What is your major goal for this year? Lose some weight, get more of our projects done around the house and to possibly take a photography class.

If you and Dh had all the money you felt you needed what would you do with your lives?

I would like to set up a few charitable foundations and help raise and administer the funds. The toughest part would be selecting the cause. We have a few things that are directly affecting my family right now.

As I get older I find I take less for granted and find wonder in many things, both tangible and not tangible. My home, my cat, my education, my husband and the life we have built together, the love and support of family and friends. Have you ever sat back and just looked around and said "Wow" ? As I get older, I am doing this more often.

2. In what ways is your life admirable I always do my best to take care of my family and friends that are in need.

3. What is your most valuable personality trait Loyalty

4. Do you have any enemies I think everyone has enemies, both known and unknown.

5. Do you live by any particular code or moral standard Do unto others as as I would want them to do unto me.

6. If you had to leave one book, one movie, one meal, and one drink as a record of your personality and life, what would they be.

I'm having a very hard time with this one. It's the book and movie that is giving me problems. I could just give you the name of any book or movie, but I don't want to do that. Let me think a little and get back to you. As far as meal and drink - a nice spicy pasta dish with chicken (because I am a bit of a chicken) and cheese, because you must have

, and a nice glass of red wine.


Ok, on further thought, I still ahve no idea - I am looking for a classic movie or book, and none apply to me - I have too many facets

7. What was the last thing that really scared you My husband left an open paint can out all night, I saw it first thing this morning, and couldn't find Abby right away - (she's fine)


8. What is the most lovely thing you have ever seen a newborn baby
9. If you could relive one day of your life, which would it be and why my wedding day because it went by too fast and I didn't really get a chance to take it all in and spend enough time with my loved ones.
10. If you were God for a day, what would you change. WORLD PEACE!

Have you ever worn your husband's underwear?? T-shirts yes, briefs, no

Eat food that you dropped on the floor?? sure

I have to buy you a birthday present, what would you hope I buy you?? People say I am hard to buy for, but I'm not, I am always happy with candles, bath and body works products or a gift certificate to a bookstore.

I'm coming to visit for a few days-what would we do?

Well that depends on what YOU want to do. Are you coming out here to see the area, or just relax?

If you are looking to relax, we would do some casual sightseeing of the area, scenic drives, nice dinners, and we would have to go see the Green Animals Topiary Gardens, and the Arboretum. There are a few greenhouses in the area you would also enjoy. We would also just spend time sitting on my deck with some drinks!

If you want to sightsee, I would drag you to Newport, Boston, Providence, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

In reality, it would probably be a combo of both.

When is your flight landing?

Do you garden with or without gloves?? without

Your favorite TV show on Wednesday nights?? I don't watch a lot of TV, but I will be watching "So you think you can Dance" until that ends.

Otherwise, my husband would probably have some type of ball game on.

What the best part of your day? Dinner - my husband has just gotten in from work, we are both relaxing, talking, and Abby is just starting to wake up from her long afternoon siesta.
