If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?
I would love to be the elephant rider, who knows what she is really called, but that is what I call her.

Would you generally be overdressed or underdressed at a party?

I would be underdressed I am a pretty causal kind of girl.

Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness?

No, then how would they become an all around well rounded individual? With unhappiness also comes happiness. Gotta experience both.

Imagine you're packing a picnic lunch. What would be in your basket?

• a loaf of french bread
• cheese
• strawberries, grapes, and pineapple
• red wine
• blanket
• cups
• plates
• knife to cut bread and cheese

If your life were a weather vane, which direction would it be pointing right now?

North, I am ready to go back to my hometown and spend a few weeks!

What's something that people do in traffic that really annoys you?

Hello!!! Please use a turn signal and don't just slam on your brakes and turn.

If you could completely redecorate any room in your house at no expense to you, what room would you choose?

Above is a picture of our room that we are currently working on redecorating. Money is an object so this isn't the room that I would redecorate if it wasn't. The first room that came to mind that I would love to redecorate at no expense to me would be my master bathroom, it is so blah and just a typical bathroom right now. It is small and I would love a huge bathroom with a gigantic tub, double sinks, huge shower that would have water spraying from every direction. Of course I would love a maid to come along with it to keep it tidy.

Which hour of the day do you feel goes the slowest?

Some days it is the 8 p.m. hour when I put my kids to bed, I look forward to some peace and quiet and adult time. It is 9:17 and the youngest is still awake...uhhh...we are past the 8 p.m. hour and are now into the second hour tonight. Gee wonder what prompted me to pick this hour right this minute. :)

If your birthday could be in a different month of the year, when would you have it?

I really enjoy having my birthday in the month of July. It has always been a non school time and it is usually a beautiful summer day. If I had to choose a different month I would say that anytime between September or May would be great that way it would make my second graders happy and they could celebrate their teacher's birthday! Thank goodness for half birthdays!

What's the best summer job you ever had?

The one that I currently have had for the past 10 years. None! Gotta love being a teacher and having my summer's off.

Tell me about the worst date you ever went on.

Hmmm...don't think I ever really had a terrible one. A few come to mind but they weren't really that terrible.

Do you think the age for a driver's license should be raised (currently 16 here in the U.S.)?

No, I think 16 is OK. Any younger and I wouldn't be happy with it. Of course my opinion might change as my children get closer to 16.

Do you recycle? Why or why not?

I do recycle and feel it is important for the environment and my children's future. The only sad thing I have to say is that it has to be convenient or else I don't. :(

Would you rather be a pirate or a prince/princess?

I would rather be a princess, even though I am not into the thought of looking like a princess and being all frilly.

Are you into astrology? If yes, how does it affect your life?

I enjoy reading it but don't follow it or have to have it in my life daily. I find it interesting to read when I come across it.

Do you enjoy brain teasers or do you find them frustrating?
I enjoy them, but only after I know the answer. :} When I cannot figure them out on my own I find them very frustrating!

Do you have any unusual collections?
Nope...I try not to collect things because I hate to dust.

What do people notice about you within the first hour of meeting you (other than appearance)?
My first thought was my eyes, but that deals with appearance. So I would have to say that people would think I am shy and quiet, but watch out when they get to know me and I am comfortable in the situation I am in.

Do you screen your phone calls?
Sure do!

When was the last time you lost your temper?
Oh probably this weekend when one of the boys did something to the other one. It is a daily occurence around here. Oh yea and Eric and I had a disagreement yesterday...stubborn!

When you're lost, do you ask for directions?
Sure do again! Unless of course I want to be lost which somedays may be nice.

Happy Monday!

What would you do with an extra hour each day?

I would spend an extra hour at the beach with my family. I am 20 minutes away from the beach and don't go there like I should. My boys love it and it is a great place to just kick back relax and watch the waves roll on in.

I think we may have to go to the beach this weekend!

Do you wear a watch? If so, tell us about it. If not, how do you keep track of time?

I used to always wear a watch, but about a year ago the battery died and I haven't replaced it. I always have my cell phone with me so I just look at the time on it. While I am at work I will either look at the clock on the wall or the time on the computer since my cell phone is locked away with my purse in a file cabinet.

If it was possible, would you want to know how many days you had left to live?

No way! I like to live every day to its fullest!
