1. What's the one thing about your younger self that you would like to reclaim?
Agility, or flexibility, or my ability to do cartwheels (or get up off the floor) without hurting myself. (Maybe if I started stretching or like exercising or something, that would go away.) Or the fact that I had no wrinkles around my eyes. I totally have them now and I've yet to touch 30!
2. What's something you are really good at?
Packing the back of my car full of groceries. I think I would be a really good grocery bagger, too. In fact sometimes when no one is working in my checkout line, I'll start bagging them up (and I think it's fun).
3. Before I die, I'd like to....
look over at Neal, smile, and tell him thanks for not dying first.
4. John, Paul, George, or Ringo?I grew up with an extremely devoted Beatles fan for a mother, so I can appreciate all four for their own separate personality traits, learned so well by watching Help! and A Hard Day's Night over and over. Mom prefers Paulie (she loved John when she was a teen), but I always went for the nerdy types, and have always had a little thing for George, even though he had the worst teeth. Plus, my sister is going to hook up with his son in Oxford, so we need to kiss up a bit. PLUS he wrote a few of my favorite Beatles' songs (Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun). That's why.
5. Who was your favorite teacher and why?
Mr. Barrett, my English and Latin teacher in high school. He taught me how to love words and how to use them correctly. He also had a way of letting you know that he thought you were really going somewhere in life, and he appreciated the kids who really tried to learn. But since he made learning so fun, we all had no trouble. He was so great that sometimes my friends and I would actually eat lunch in his classroom. Nerds? Brown nosers? Nope, he was just that cool to hang out with.
6. I wish I could ignore....
my dirty bathroom.
7. The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is.....
pretty much the biggest decision ever: where we're going to live and start working. Luckily, Neal and I are working on that one as a team.

when mike and i are old, we are going to start living dangerously so we can die together.
and mr. barrett was my favorite, too-- for the exact same reasons you listed. but i was never nerdy enough to eat lunch with him.
the answer to #7 lies in the valley of the sun.
wow, you know a lot about the beatles! maybe george is my favorite too, since "here comes the sun" is my favorite beatles song. and who says you can't learn from blogs?
#7, I was right there with you at this time last year. I feel your pain. I'm glad we chose here. Very glad.
i love your response to #2! a bagger :)
I am with you on #2 for sure! I LOVE bagging ~ that is why I worked at Longs Drugs in HS. ; ) I've always loved to do it since I was a kid. Cute answers.
Your response to #3 has to be the best answer EVER!
Ever considered New York? It would be great to see you again and catch up. I love your responses and your blog in general. And I cannot think of ANYTHING more fun than shopping for school supplies at Target. I CANNOT wait until Cyra is old enough. I have already started her with color pencils (my favorite!)
