A journey into whole-living: Way more than you care to know

I stole this from a whole lot of people. And I'm bored. So you get to know way, way more than you ever wanted to.

1. Were you named after anyone?

No. I was named because my mom liked the name and she had aspirations of teaching her daughter to speak French. My mom doesn't speak French, so I don't fully understand this one.
ETA: I was intentionally given the same initials as my dad as well.

2. When was the last time you cried?

I'm not sure. It's probably been a few weeks, and it was probably about a movie. I don't cry for my own purposes very often.

3. Do you like your handwriting?

Yes. I have teacher handwriting. It can look completely perfect if I slow down. But if I don't, it still looks pretty good.

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?

Ham. There is little I like more than a ham, swiss, and mayonnaise sandwich.

5. Do you have kids?

Yep. Two of 'em.

6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?

I like to think so!

7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Too often. Sometimes I feel like it's just my lazy attempt at humor.

8. Do you still have your tonsils?

I do not. I got them taken out when I was 18 and had strep and sinus infections back to back to back and they couldn't make them go away.

9. Would you bungee jump?

Nope. I am terribly afraid of heights and also very risk averse.

10. What's your favorite cereal?

Cinnamon Life. I loved it when I was little, and I still do.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?

I don't really have shoes that have to be tied. But I untie my kids' shoes when they take them off.

Physically, no. I am in terrible shape. But emotionally? I've managed things I didn't ever think I would be able to.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Baking smells. Cookies, cakes, bread, whatever. It's just so enticing.
