About Me
I'm going to cheat and fill out one of these surveys that go around - hopefully it will tell you a few things about me you wouldn't otherwise know!
The phone rings; who do you want it to be?
Todd or my mom. Or someone calling to tell me I've won the lottery.
When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Yes, for two reasons: first, so I can get my pound coin back, and second, because I used to work at a grocery store, and had to go out and collect the carts
In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
Definitely a listener
Do you take compliments well?
Not really - I usually just feel embarrassed.
Do you play Sudoku?
Yes, particularly on my phone.
If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?
Depends where in the wilderness - somewhere in Canada in the summer, probably. In the Amazon rainforest, not a chance.
Do you like to ride horses?
I do! But I don't do it very often.
Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
Yes, at Kenosee Lake in Saskatchewan.
What was your favorite game as a kid?
Clue, at Grandma and Grandpa's House
If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you go for it?
No - and not just because I'm already married too. :) I have seen too many issues caused by unfaithfulness to want to have any part in it.
Have you lied to get out of a date?
Yes - no further details will be provided. :)
Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?
I married him!
Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
Pursue - being pursued makes me uncomfortable, much like the compliments
Use three words to describe yourself?
Hard-working, Passionate, Homebody
Do any songs make you cry?
Oh, several. I cry very easily.
Are you continuing your education?
Not at the moment. I haven't ruled out the thought of doing an MA someday, but would need to be able to afford it first.
Do you know how to shoot a gun?
I have shot a rifle before, but wouldn't feel comfortable without further training.
If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you grabbed?
The cats - assuming Todd was already up!
How often do you read books?
Every day! I have a two hour commute each day, so I read a lot.
Do you think more about the past, present or future?
The future - I am always making plans.
What is your favorite children's book?
Love You Forever
What color are your eyes?
Brown
How tall are you?
5'5"
Where is your dream house located?
At the moment, in a little town in Austria
Do you have a secret fetish?
If I told you, it wouldn't be secret any more!
Have you tried sushi?
I love sushi, though I have to admit I prefer the kinds without fish in them. :)
Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?
Lots of times!
When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
I tend to only go to Olive Garden in New York, so it would be the last time I was in New York, in May 2008.
Where was the furthest place you traveled today?
The backyard.
What was your favorite job?
My internship at Livent - I only wish I could take the experience I have now and apply it to that job!

No.

Both are good.

More like my mom, though I have my dad's nose

The last Harry Potter movie.
If you could fast forward your life, would you?
Sometimes I wish I could fast forward to the weekend, but generally I think no.

We had a quiet night in - Todd was still sick. Watched the fireworks on TV.

What? Who would hate chocolate?
Are you easy to get along with?
I think so, but I'm not close with many people.
What is your favorite time of day?
Early morning, when I don't have any commitments for the day. So many possibilities! Or, late evening on the prairies, when the sun is at an angle and the shadows go on forever.
