3. How do you feel about the dentist?

4. What foods are you most picky about?

A. I don't eat spicy foods, and I'm allergic to black pepper.

5. Name some Internet friends / penpals you want to visit in person.

A. Oh, I would love to visit all of them. I'd like to meet Bev, who does Sunday Stealing, and Sam, who does Saturday 9. I'd like to meet Kwizgiver (which should happen given that she has a sister who lives not far away . . .), and Stacy, and Diane, and oh . . . just everyone.

6. What are your healthiest habits?

A. I'm not sure I have any. Let me think. I shower daily and use lotion. I brush my teeth twice a day, sometimes three.

A. Same place I go in winter - to my office in my house, or to my chair in the living room. 

9. List your comfort books, tv shows, and movies.

A. My comfort books would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy or most anything by Janet Evanovich or Nora Roberts. TV shows would be Big Bang Theory or MASH. Movies would be Under the Tuscan Sun, Dirty Dancing, Steel Magnolias, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

13. What are some topics you’d love to learn more about?

A. I'd like to learn more about astronomy, archeology, music theory, and other languages.

14. What happened about this time last year?

A. I wrote 33 blog posts last August. My husband was recovering from his hip replacement surgery about this time last year and getting along well, so I would have been dealing with him.

15. What are some favorite memories of someone you’ve lost?

A. My grandmother had varicose veins, and when I was quite young, I was sitting with her and I starting tracing the lines on her legs. I looked up at her and said, quite earnestly, "Gee, Grandma, you're cracking up!"  She loved that and reminded me that I said it many times.

She used to talk to her friend, "Mama Fore" every day. We were not allowed to interrupt when she was talking to Mama Fore.

When I cut my thumb open when I was 10, I passed out in her arms.

I called her once a week just to talk after I became an adult. I miss that.
