11 Random things about myself:

11.  I had a tracheotomy when I was three after having been diagnosed with epiglottitis.

10. I watched reruns of ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ for much longer than I should have.

9. I am very much afraid of flying.

8. I am also very much afraid of earthquakes.

7. Last week I began taking piano lessons.

6. I am allergic to raisins, but not grapes.

5. I honestly miss having an annual pass to Disneyland and not being able to go whenever I want.

4. I am constantly amazed (and not in a good way) at how much it costs to see a doctor, even with health insurance.

3. I really don’t like cake or pie.  I prefer cookies or brownies.

2. Although I have been told you have to try it more than once, I have tried snow skiing once and hated it.

1. I love listening to my kids sing!

My answers for Catherine:

1. What is your dream job? Why?  To get paid a good amount of money and not have to do much…oh wait, I had that job already.  My dream would be to enjoy and appreciate the fact that my job right now is being a wife and mother.

2. Favorite TV show ever?  That’s a difficult one.  I would have to say NUM3ERS.  I am currently watching all of the seasons again and I still enjoy them.

3. Who are your top 3 favorite authors?  Karen White, Cassandra Clare and Suzanne Collins.

4. Describe your dream home location.  Location, location, location.  I would like to live in a more woodsy area, but still be like within 10 minutes of a major city.  I don’t know where that puts me.

5. Are you an early bird or a night owl?  Since having children, neither.  I used to be both at one time.

6. Tell me 2 things that fascinate you.  The inability of most people to properly operate a motor vehicle and that there is no test to pass or class to take for people to have children.

7. What is your biggest fear?  Drowning

8. Who is your hero and why?  My dad.  I’ve always wanted to be like him.  He possesses a lot of wonderful qualities I think most people lack.

9. Name 5 things you could not live without.  My family (both immediate and extended), sleep, microwaves (well, I probably could but rather not), shelter and I must admit, I do love chocolate!

10. What is your favorite color and also most hated color?  Black (though I’ve heard it isn’t really considered a color, but this is my answer and I consider it one), and most hated is pink.  I’m sorry, but it is just too perky a color and I generally don’t care for perky people either.

11. What super power would you most want to develop if accidentally bitten by a spider/fall in a vat of acid? :)  I would like to be able to read people’s minds, but honestly believe that once I had the power I probably wouldn’t like it much.

My 11 questions for others:

1.  What one person has most influenced your life?

2.  If you could repeat a year of your life, which would it be?  Why?

3.  Is your glass half full or half empty?

4. What is your favorite animal?  (Beware, when asked this on a psychological test, it apparently reveals a lot about you?)

5. What is one bad habit you would really like to kick?

6.  How many times have you moved?

7. Do you have a favorite saying, quote or words to live by?

8. Do you think what happens in Vegas should really stay in Vegas?

9. What is your favorite smell (i.e. a type of food being cooked/baked, a candle scent, etc.)?

10. What is your favorite number?  Why?

11. Which came first…the chicken or the egg?
