1. Where are you from and where do you live now?
I'm from Cleveland, OH. I now live in Chicago, IL.
2. Favorite childhood story/book/film?
As for books, I love anything by Janet Adele Bloss (I wish I could find copies of her books still), and the Ramona and Baby-sitters Club books always made me happy. Basically, my mom would go to Giant Eagle for her 'heavy' grocery shopping and buy me a bunch of those little cheap books. I'd be in heaven! And book club day? Oh My God. (I still get that way when I make a big order at The Book Depository and it arrives!)
As for films? I loved Firestarter and The Parent Trap. Anything that had little girls who were my age in it? I was all over it. Except I never got into Poltergeist.
3. If you could change gender for a day what would you do?
What do you think? LOL.
4. Do you feel you family is complete or would you like more/some children?
I'm pretty sure I'm done. Mostly because of financial/practical reasons rather than not wanting more.
5. What do you do/Where do you work and do you enjoy it?
I'm a freelance proofreader/copy editor and for the most part, I do enjoy it. I wish I had more steady work, but I like working from home most of the time and editing is usually fun for me.
6. Which three words do you think sum you up?
Loyal, silly, dreamer
7. If you were a fairy what magical powers would you possess?
Hmm. I guess the ability to make everyone around me happy.
8. If you were invisible, where would you go and what would you do? Why?
I'd go to Disney World and people watch. OH WAIT I do that anyway.
9. What song can’t you listen to without crying?
Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne.
10. Which book changed your life – or at least made you think a lot?
I hate to admit it because so many people hate them on now, but Flowers in The Attic and Heaven, both by VC Andrews.
11. Why do you blog?
To express myself, update far away friends, and make new friends.
12. What is your top ‘me-time’ tip?
Lying in bed or on the couch with a blanket, a glass of Kool-Aid, a book, and a kitty cat.
13. What can’t you live without?
Food, water, clothing, shelter, love.
14. Which of all your blog posts are you most proud of and why?
I am most proud of the ones that I am most honest, even though it may have been hard to do so.
15. Have you ever met a famous person? Who and where?
Mmm-hmmm. Mario Lopez. LL Cool J. Meg Cabot. Peter Yarrow. Weird Al. Lots more. Mostly in meet or greet situations.
16. When did you last have a full night's sleep?
Last night!
17. What would you think is harder: Going to work or staying at home with children?
I think staying home would be harder. I'd still rather do that, though.
18. What are you doing for Easter?
I'm almost certain Aidan will be here for it, so he'll get an Easter basket and we might make cupcakes and dye eggs.
19. What is your favorite drink?
100% cherry juice.
20. Do you play any sports?
No.
21. What is your most embarrassing moment?
When I was a teenager, I said to my mother and sister, "Y'all wanna see how high I can kick?" And both my legs went from under me and I landed right on my butt.
That wasn't my most embarrassing moment, but it's definitely more funny than the real one.
22. How clever are you?
Depends on the day.
23. Name a new favorite TV show?
Downton Abbey.
24. Any guilty pleasures?
Yup.
25. If you could have chosen your own name, what would it be?
This has changed over the years. I think I'd be Tori, which is one of the names my mom was considering for me.
26. Who do you most admire in life, and why?
I hate this question.
27. What is your most treasured possession?
Pandernoodle. But you all knew that, right?
28. Tell your favorite funny joke…
Did you hear the joke about the sandwich?
Never mind. It was full of baloney.
29. What is your biggest fear in life?
Never getting my writing mojo back.
30. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream? What does it remind you of?
Chocolate. It doesn't remind me of anything except deliciousness.
I'm from Cleveland, OH. I now live in Chicago, IL.
