- I grew up on a farm with cows, pigs, horses, rabbits, cats and dogs…but I don’t really like animals…with the exception of my dog. Animals kind of creep me out. A trait I think I passed along to my kids…ask Ceara about squirrels!
- When I watch a movie I’m always thinking about how the scene was shot. I can picture the film crew and all the technicians behind the camera. A curiosity I obviously share with Elliot (my film student son!).

- My brother is a prince. Ok, that’s just what my sisters and I call him…and how our mom treats him! My daughters would add that I have followed that tradition.
- I have a 1850s upright, fully restored piano in my living room…that I can’t play!
- I can sew, cross stitch, crochet, and paint….but I rarely do any of them anymore.
- I love playing with HTML code…but once I get started I ignore the rest of the world so I try to limit my indulgence.
- My answer to the question… “Where were you when Kennedy was shot?” …being conceived.
- Sometimes I even surprise myself with my ulterior motives.
- I came THISCLOSE bleeding out once after a surgery…and just for the record…blood transfusions are freaky.
- Every time I look at a Velveeta cheese box I think of the kitten me and my brother buried in one after my dad stepped on it.
- I have 2 sisters and a brother and we all live within 20 minutes of each other.

- I have 3 amazing kids.
- I’ve learned that brain tumors have a way of changing things.
- Even though I love my girlfriends…sometimes I find that my guy friends are so much easier to deal with!
- Every time I watch Message in a Bottle I hope Kevin Costner’s character doesn’t die THIS time.
- I don’t have a favorite color, a favorite song, or favorite movie. It changes constantly. Depends on my mood.
- I used to drink at least 2-5 cans of Diet Pepsi a day. I gave it up about a year and a half ago and can’t imagine ever going back!
- I miss water-skiing.
- I was the student speaker at 2 of my graduations.
- I don’t like old, black and white movies.

- I do not like being cold.
- I have a degree in Business Administration…I minored in Political Science…but am in the process of turning that into a major as well.

- My dog is named after Toby Zeigler on The West Wing.
- I change my mind…a lot.
- I love Hostess Snowballs. Especially when they come in pink!
- I once owned a brick and mortar gift shop.
- My friend and I once parked her car in downtown Chicago for an entire day with the window down and our purses in the back seat…and nothing was stolen!
- I’ve lived in 7 places in my life. All with the same zip code. I would LOVE to move to somewhere that begins with a 2, 3 or 9.
- Ok….that’s enough!
Enjoy what’s left of your Sunday!
