Run, Forrest, Run...

1. Have you ever forgotten your child in a store or at school?

N/A--but while we are talking about this, I could never get over how many people would forget to pick their kids up when I was directing a Child Care Center. One lady even forgot on Christmas Eve once. I mean, the dry cleaning-yes, toilet paper at the store-yes, but your kid? REALLY???? Now, I'm not judging, Moms speak up if there is something that I am missing here..

2. Where did you go on your very first date? (Like...first first, not first with your spouse or current significant other!)

I don't remember where we ate but we went and saw some movie with Christian Slater--you could probably take 3 people to the movies for what it costs for one now--ahhh, the good old days.

3. What's your "silly" fear? (We're not talking water and heights.)

Hmmm, I think that all of my fears are valid, but probably a fear of mice and bugs, I mean I do kind of have a size advantage...

4. Confrontation: do you cause it, deal with it as it comes, or run far far away?

Run, Forrest, run...I'll confront if I think that someone else is being treated unfairly before I will speak up for myself. Sometimes I do think it is necessary, but for the most part all angry confrontations do is toss a bunch of words out that you can't take back. For the record, that whole sticks and stones stuff is a bunch of crap...

5. Wood floors or carpet?

You know how you always want what you don't have? All of my homes have had carpet, but I thought hard woods are so pretty, so when we bought, we bought a home with hardwoods. Man, the upkeep is killing me! I know that all of the dust that I now see was hiding in my carpet, but it drives me crazy. Our house is very dusty, I dust and run the electric sweeper daily, but I can't keep up with the dust under furniture and the hardwoods hide nothing. Our next house will definitely not be all hardwood, maybe a mix.
