    15. What were you doing before you started this?  Having lunch with Chloe, that girl ate two huge spoonfulls of black beans, 1/4 of a grilled cheese, half an eggroll (leftover from last night), 4 baby carrots, and a spoonful of peas...I don't know where it all goes...

    Midnight. But I'm going to finish grading this one class's papers tonight before I go to bed, no matter what.


    2. If you could be given ANY gift what would it be?

    If someone magically paid off my student loans ($56,000 to go; I'm halfway done!), or if they bought me a year of house-keeping service.


    3. What was the last film that really moved/disturbed/thrilled you and why?

    Shakespeare Behind Bars, about a group of inmates who put on one act of Hamlet per year. It's amazing how much you feel for the guys and then you hear about their crimes, and you're really conflicted. I teach/volunteer at the prison here, so I know what that's like.

    I really, really liked The Wonder Years.


    5. What's your favourite way to wake up and what's the first thing you do?

    I like the natural sunlight and the sound of birds waking me up. Hopefully, I can experience this again over spring break :-) Depending on weather, the first thing I will do is go jogging.


    6. What would you call yourself if you could choose your own name?

    I used to want a less Jewish name, but I think I'm good with it now.


    7. What's the worst/most embarassing CD/Album you've ever owned and do you still have it? 
     
    Omg. I owned all of the tapes of Europe (the band that did "The Final Countdown"); I owned some Air Supply. You know, all of the fun 1980s stuff.

    8. What would be your dream vehicle (bikes, cars, boats, batcar and millenium falcon are allowed!)?

    Anything paid off and not falling apart :-) My 1996 Toyota Camry has some things that need fixing like broken door handles, etc., that are really starting to get embarrassing.

    9. What characteristics do you dislike in yourself?

    I'm not very disciplined; I get academically snobby.


    10. Your favourite item of clothing and why?

    My Merrill boots. They're *awesome* $300 boots that I got for $30 on eBay.


    11. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be and who would it be with?

    The British Isles with Jared & Liam. LOVE England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales but haven't been since 1999.


    12. If you could have any animal/creature, what would be your ultimate pet be?

    13. What did you want to be when you were little and do you think you ever will be?

    Ballerina. I got the minor in dance and seriously only need six more college credits to have a degree in it :-) But the average retirement age for a ballerina is 26, and I wasn't that good. (I was a choreography concentration, not performance.)


    14. What's the next planned event you're looking forward to in your life?

    My next book coming out. (I know. I need to finish writing it first. But it's so exciting when it happens.)


    15. What were you doing before you started this?

    Teaching two, two-hour back to back classes. Running around like a crazy woman picking up handouts, lecture notes, etc.


    16. What was the last thing you ate that you really shouldn't have?

    Dried fruit that had been in my desk drawer forever. It had added sugar, which is stupid and pointless for something that's supposed to be healthy.

    Hey, All,

    I got out of a meeting a bit early, so I thought I'd post a GTKY to get the board moving a bit :-)

    1. What time did you go to bed last night? 11


    2. If you could be given ANY gift what would it be? Someone to pay off my mortgage!


    3. What was the last film that really moved/disturbed/thrilled you and why? The original Wicker Man.


    4. What is your favourite TV show of all time? Friends


    5. What's your favourite way to wake up and what's the first thing you do? To sunshine coming through my window; yoga.


    6. What would you call yourself if you could choose your own name? I like my name as is.


    7. What's the worst/most embarassing CD/Album you've ever owned and do you still have it?  Village Men, no.
     

    8. What would be your dream vehicle (bikes, cars, boats, batcar and millenium falcon are allowed!)? Dodge short bed, crew cab in a gorgeous blue, with heated seats (priorities, right?), and while we're dreaming, it should get good enough mileage for me to drive it to work.  Oh, and it should also come with a 3-horse slant load.



    9. What characteristics do you dislike in yourself? My temper.  I've had to fight it a lot, but it's come a long long way.  So, while it's the thing I dislike, I'm also very proud of the progress I've made.


    10. Your favourite item of clothing and why? Do shoes count?  Of course, they must!  It's a tie between my running shoes because of the miles that they've taken me, and how they allow me to run pain-free, and my riding boots because if I'm wearing them, then I'm spending time with my four-legged soul mate, and life is good! 


    11. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would it be and who would it be with?   I would like to see Europe--all of it--with my DH.  We're great travel companions.


    12. If you could have any animal/creature, what would be your ultimate pet be? My horse!  He was orphaned, and he bonded to me in a way that he probably should have bonded with another horse.  We are super close.  I swear he can read my mind. 


    13. What did you want to be when you were little and do you think you ever will be?  I wanted to be a vet, but that won't ever happen.  I'm too afraid of needles.  I also told my mom when I was 4 that I was sorry because I knew she would be sad, but I was going to have to be a barmaid because that's where all singers get their start. LOL!  And no, I'll never be a barmaid or singer, either. 


    14. What's the next planned event you're looking forward to in your life? Refinancing my house/starting the addition, running my half marathon in June, starting TTC #2 in July, buying a new car to fit #2.... 


    15. What were you doing before you started this? Nursing LO to sleep.


    16. What was the last thing you ate that you really shouldn't have?  Chips with my lunch.  The little b*stards came with my sandwich.
