1. What do you add to your coffee? Cream.

2. What are you reading now? Um, a couple of family magazines. And the computer screen.

3. Do you own a gun? Nope. I own a Louisville Slugger (wooden) for protection. And I also have a fifteen-month-old that will bite your ankles and a four-year-old who will tell you to stop the bad stuff. NOW.

4. Are you registered to vote? Yes, I am, but I am a bit disillusioned.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Yes because I don’t have health insurance and only go to the doctor when I think I’m dying. OR if it’s one of the girls I am always certain they are dying, which also makes me nervous.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? I eat them raw, not cooked, if I have to eat them.

7. Favorite Christmas Song? Oh, Holy Night.

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? I drink coffee morning, noon, and night, though I am developing an addiction to Da Man’s Georgia sweet tea.

9. Can you do push ups? No.

10. What was the name of your first boyfriend/girlfriend? Christopher Bowman. He asked me to “go with him” *smile* in the fifth grade and gave me a necklace that I was scared to death my mom would find, so I wore it at school and took it off on the bus.

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? I don‘t wear jewelry anymore really, but I do miss the sterling silver hoop that used to adorn my left nostril.

12. Favorite hobby? Singing. And I love to read when I have the time to really get into the book.

13. Do you work with people who idolize you? I take care of my step dad and he definitely does not idolize me. My girls, on the other hand, I would say they do--at times.

15. What's one trait that you hate about yourself? I judge people often and quickly.

16. Middle name? Jo.

26. Whose answers do you want to read the most? I usually read it if I see it listed as a post.

27. What color shirt are you wearing? Navy blue.

28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? No, it‘s too hard to get magic marker stains out of them (and I know this thanks to Grace).

29. Can you whistle? A note.

30. Favorite color(s)? Blue.

31. Could you be a pirate? I dig the hats.

34. Favorite boy's name? Grayson.

35. What's in your pocket right now? Nothing.

38. Worst injury you've ever had? I’ve broken my foot twice. And I was stung on the lip by a huge bumblebee as a child and almost died. Does that count?

47. Favorite Team? I do not have a favorite team, and nittineedles took my answer.

48. What songs do you want played at your funeral? I don’t want it to be a sad funeral, oh no. I want it to be a wonderful party, a celebration of my life. And I want to be cremated. And those who want to can roll my ass in a joint and smoke me if they wish.
