    1) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Search and Rescue dog handler.  I have always wanted to do this and I will probably look into it as soon as Monks is old enough for me to do the hours of training.

    2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why? My husband's Hungarian Goulash.  The way HE makes it with the spicy Hungarian paprika.  It is my favorite dish he does. 

    3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? About 2 years ago.  I was visiting my Aunt and climbed their climbing tree to prove to the young'ns that I could still do it.

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life? While having Monks ranks up there, I think the best thing I have done so far was taking on my SS 

    Between "fixing" the issues that his BM created and dealing with the normal early teenage / hormonal carp, this has been the hardest year in my life.  It has put my patience, emotional strength, empathy, compassion and education to test on an almost daily basis.  

    But in the end, I know that he will be as well adjusted as possible AND we will never have that phone call.

  • 1) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Pre DS I would have Anthony Bourdain's job travelling the world, experiencing all the cultures I would love that Post DS not really sure actually.
     

    2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why? Minestrone, I don't really know why I just love it

    3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? I tried this weekend but the branch was dead so I changed my mind real quick

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life?  Ds I wish I had more to say than that, but at this point he is the best thing I did, before he came along my life was a mess, although getting back into school is as well, though it doesn't feel that way all the time.

  • 1) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?  If it was an acutal Monday - Friday job and it paid better (or I was rich from the lottery) I would love to be an animal exhibit designer for zoos.
     

    2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why? Boston Market's chicken tortilla soup. It is the only soup that can make my mouth water just by smelling it!

    3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? Lol! This wekend!

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life? Other than my son? Leaving his father. It was starting to lead further down the abuse path & I just decided one day I had had enough & that my son deserved better. I refused to let him grow up & be like his father.

    2 years ago.  I was about 80 feet up.  I wouldn't do it again.

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life? 

    I'm not sure.  The obvious answer is being a mom and stepmom and loving J.  But there were a lot of important decisions along the way that brought me here, and my life as a mom is just beginning.  I'd like to think that the best things are still down the road, like seeing our sons have their own kids.

    Stay at home mom to a house of boys: two amazing stepsons, 12 and 9, and our 4 year old.

    1) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Shel77?s Tasty Travels?  Like the Anthony Bourdain idea but saw him eat camel in Saudi Arabia and that destroyed my fantasy. 2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why? Chili?s not a soup, is it?  Ok, then anything spicy with a decent beer accompanying 3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? Sigh, was much more of a nerd as a kid?and adult.  I was in the Swiss Family Robinson tree in Disney World last year 4) Name the best thing you have done in your life?  I?d like to say getting my doctorate, 10yrs and $160k in the hole but with some perspective, think having made the leap from single to soon-to-be wife and SM has been more labor-intensive and in a qualitatively different way, equally rewarding.  Never thought that I?d be proudly sitting at some one?s end of the year kindergarten show or tucking some one in 3yrs ago.
  • 1) If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? Travel show host. Or perhaps royalty-is that a job?
    More practical, I would love to own a small bakery or tea room

    2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why?  Potato. I love potatos.

    3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? Don't remember

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life?  Ummm, the best is yet to come.

    2)  What is your favorite soup?  Why? I make a mean tomato cheese shrimp torellini

    3) When was the last time you climbed a tree? Probably ~2 decades ago

    4) Name the best thing you have done in your life? I have to add on to this... Thing: Graduate college- even though it took a long time, longer than most, I am proud that I plugged away; in my case it means a better future for me and the most important people in my life. Accomplishment: My son.
