A Hodge Podge of Questions

1.  When were you last facing an ocean? Using just ONE word, describe how you felt as you faced that ocean. 

We're lucky to live on the coast so I see the ocean almost every day... it's beautiful..

2. What are three sounds you hate to hear?

"MOM!" "MAMA!" "MOMMY!" - they are also the same sounds I love... it just depends on the time of day and the tone of the voice...

3. This question comes to you courtesy of some real life friends. Hi real life friends! When you shop for yourself, do you try everything on in the store before buying or do you buy, try on at home, and then return what you don't like or what doesn't fit?

I try on everything in store because I know that what looks good on the hanger often doesn't suit me...

4. February 26th is National Pistachio Day...are you a fan of the little green nut? Do you use them in cooking and baking or prefer to eat them right out of the shell?

I am a temperamental fan - I do like them, but I don't often eat them...

5. When did you last have to compromise with someone?  Were you happy to reach the compromise or slightly irritated it was necessary? 

I have to compromise all the time - I have kids... and I'm usually pretty happy with the negotiated settlement...

6.  Have you ever written a letter to an elected official? Did you get a response?

I have... and I usually get a response.

7. We 'March' into a new month at the end of this week...what's something on your March calendar guaranteed to make you smile?

Hubby turns 39 in the middle of March... he hates having a fuss, but his birthday always makes me smile...

8.  It feels weird.. I got a good night's sleep last night and I am feeling worse than when I cobbled together a few hours... I'm not tired, but I feel kind of out of it... sleep drunk... can't win...
