Hiya Kelly

It's nice to know all this about you...here's one:

If this was your last day on earth, what would you do?

Hiya Kelly

If this was your last day on earth, what would you do?

I would try to personally contact as many friends and family members as I could. I would want to hear their voices one last time.

Good question, thanks!

1. If you could have dinner with anyone in the world who would it be & why and what would you serve them to eat?

I could get all high-minded here, and pick someone who has changed the world, or is a great thinker, or something. Yeah, that's not going to happen. I've actually given this question a great deal of thought, and I came up with an answer that actually surprised me. George Clooney. He's not someone I would normally give a great deal of thought to, but he always struck me as someone who is probably a really good date (he's had a lot of practice!), like he'd make you feel special, even if it was just for an evening. It's been awhile since I've had an evening like that! What would I serve him? Oysters? Tequila?

Okay, Kelly, even though my affection for George is widely known on TCS, I'm willing let you have one evening with him.

Have to admit the oysters and tequila have me a bit concerned!

Here's my question: Aside from dinner how will you and George be spending the evening? (On second thought, maybe I don't want to know!)

You know, I thought about you, and I kind of felt bad listing him.

But I decided to be honest...sorry!

No, I don't think you do want to know what I would do with the rest of the evening!

I admire your honesty!

Thanks for sparing my feelings about the date too!

ok, here's my question - when your house was on House Hunters, was it really for sale?

 

[lilleah]

When was the last time you did something wild and crazy?

 

[deb25]

This is probably going to sound dumb but, what kind of shoes do you wear to work?

And thanks for the earlier answers. Your job sounds so exciting and rewarding!

 

[katachtig]

Where did you get your first kiss?

Was it everything you expected?

Ah...no. Sorry! I did it as a favor for my friend who was the realtor featured on the show.

Thanks Laureen!

 

[clixpix]

When was the last time you did something wild and crazy?
It's been quite awhile. I had my wild and crazy days to be sure. But it's been many years since dancing on the bar and staying out until well past sun-up. I'd like to say I miss those days, but I really don't. I think I got it all out of my system!

Thanks Lilleah!

Not a dumb question at all. When you're on your feet for 12 hours straight, the type of shoes you wear matter! I've found that New Balance sneakers are the best. The pair I currently have are yellow/silver/blue!

Thank you. Yes, my job is rewarding, and at times exciting. It can also be draining & physically exhausting. But that all comes with the territory.

Thanks Deb!

Where did you get your first kiss?

Was it everything you expected?
On the playground at kindergarten.

I distinctly remember being chased, and then (remember...klutz) I fell and skinned my knees. But he still kissed me.

Was it everything I expected? I'd have to say no...I really expected less scabbing and scarring!

Thanks Jana!

Hi Kelly

Favorite things to have on your pizza?

Hmm...just about anything? But my truly favorite pizza is pepperoni, mushroom & black olive.

Favorite fast food?

Arby's. But, surprisingly, there's not really one near here, so I don't have it very often.

What color is your Honda Element?

Olive green with black trim

Have you ever been to Massachusetts?

No, but I should. I have good friends that live there.

Favorite TV show?

Currently, "Lost", even though I haven't the first clue as to what's going on!

Have you ever broken a bone?

Ding! Ding! Ding! You've won the final broken bone story!

I was, I think, about in fourth grade. I was with my sisters, brother, and a sister's friend were sitting on the floor of the basement (finished basement) playing the game "Go to the Head of the Class". My parents were outside firing up the grill because we were expecting company. Part of the basement was my two older sister's bedroom. My youngest sister stood on the bed to look out the window to see if the company had arrived. The sister whose bed that was got angry, and shoved my younger sister off the bed. Just as I was reaching to move my game piece, she landed on my arm. My sister's friend starts screaming, "Look at her arm!". I looked down to see my forarm at a 45 degree angle...up. I remember little else except running to where my parents were, and a very fast car ride to the emergency room. Again.


Thanks for the questions Karen!

2. What sorts of non-fiction do you like to read?

3. What hobbies do you have?

4. Time Travel: Forward or back?

5. Okay, as a fellow klutz, I wonder, how many time have you needed stitches?

I will have to catch up with this thread later this week yet, but I have a quick question:

1. Can you name a few guilty pleasures of yours Kelly?

1½. What are they?

 

[clixpix]

A few questions, if you don't mind...

Of course I don't mind!

1. When you started Nursing school, did you want to specialize in Labor & Delivery?

I always loved the idea of labor and delivery, but at the time I graduated, hospitals were not hiring new grads into that field. I ended up working in Neonatal Intensive Care (sick & premature newborns), which I did for a number of years. After that, I worked in an office that specialized in assisted reproduction (IVF, etc). After 10 months, the office was closed, so I took that opportunity to go back to my original intention of working in L&D.

2. What sorts of non-fiction do you like to read?

I do like to read some history and biographies. I also like to read books on alternative ideas on spirituality (though some may not consider that non-fiction

).

3. What hobbies do you have?

Oh man, I have so many. I do quite a bit of photography, but since I get paid for it, I guess it's not a hobby. I've done a lot of decorative painting, woodburning, glass painting, some sewing, and any little thing that catches my eye. I always figure I can do it, so I try it! I've made all of the curtains in my house, duvet covers, pillows, etc. There's probably lots more, but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

4. Time Travel: Forward or back?

Ooh...good question! I've always been fascinated by the idea of time travel! I'd have to say "back". I've actually given this some thought, and thought it would be great if we were able, maybe twice a year, to travel back in time for a day. You couldn't change anything, but just participate. On one of the travels, you could go back to any event in history...meet anyone in history. The other event, you could go into your past and relive any day. You could see family members who have passed on, get to spend a day with them. Grief would be lessened because you'll always have the opportunity to see those people again. Okay, I've given it a lot of thought!

5. Okay, as a fellow klutz, I wonder, how many time have you needed stitches?

Hello fellow klutz!

Surprisingly, and I'm knocking wood here, I have never required stitches. Casts? Oh yeah. But never stitches. I could introduce you, however, to some of my siblings who have had to be stitched together. A lot. I swear some of them are literally held together by sutures and a wad of gum!

Thanks for the questions, they were great!

 

[clixpix]

I will have to catch up with this thread later this week yet, but I have a quick question:

1. Can you name a few guilty pleasures of yours Kelly?

Yes I can.

1½. What are they?

Oh...okay.

Actually they're probably pretty mundane. I'm embarassed to say that I really enjoy reality TV, I can spend an inordinate amount of time soaking in the bathtub, love chocolate (who doesn't though), and then of course there's my usual Saturday night stint jello wrestling...you know just to earn a little pocket money, and all the jello you can take home!
