Hat tip to Snarkwife.
I’m {your age here}, but I feel like I’m… I’m 37, and I feel 27. I’ll always feel younger than I am – and it carries through in how I treat people as well. Because I feel so much younger, I frequently treat people my own age like they are older. Not in a bad way – in a more respectful way. And it freaks me out when I find out they are my age because I envision myself to be young.
My first airplane trip was… It had to have been when we moved from the US to England when I was a baby, but obviously I don’t remember it.
When I was a little girl/boy, I wanted to grow up to be… A teacher. That thought has never been far from my mind. I attempted to be an education major in college but felt I shouldn’t be forced to take physics in order to teach kindergarteners how to paste cotton balls on construction paper and call it a cloud. So I switched my major to Liberal Arts.
Five years from now, I want to…be an at home mom. It’s actually not as big a priority as it used to be now that I love my job, but when I hated my job? I wanted nothing more than to be a home. But in five years, I would like to be at least a part-time at home mom (meaning I’d work while the kids are in school).
Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne or Ginger/Mary Ann (depending on your preference)? Clark Kent
If I’m having a party and have to prepare one dish, it would be…Malibu rum with chocolate milk. Oh. Does that not count? Okay. Um…ask Denis – he’s the cook in the family.
Sing in the car or shower? The car – and at full volume
My go-to song when I’m in the mood to belt out a tune: “Dancing Queen†by ABBA and “Over and Over Again” by Tree63
If I had to choose between The Amazing Race and Survivor, I’d rather win… Dude – no contest – The Amazing Race
If there’s 30 minutes left in my flight and I really have to go to the bathroom, I’ll… Get up and go to the restroom. No sense in waiting since it takes forever to get off the plane once it lands.
Three songs on my iPod/iTunes “Most Listened To†list: Hmmm…my Zen doesn’t keep a log of that on the player itself – only on the computer software at home. But I can tell you that I frequently play the following three songs: “Over and Over Again” by Tree63, “Center” by Charlie Hall, and “No One Like You” by David Crowder Band
Some days it feels like… My kids are growing up way too fast.
If I were guaranteed not to fail, I would… start my own business.
If I ever make it to the International Rock, Paper, Scissors championship, I’ll throw…Scissors. It’s the most complicated one.
Junk food vice? Chocolate in any form.
Aisle or window? Either. Doesn’t matter.
Tokyo or Kokomo? Can I say neither?
Three things I’m thankful for: Family, friends, life
Three things I can’t live without: God. My family. TV (I didn’t even hesitate with this one – sad that TV beat out books, which are also very important to me).
I swear, I’m going to get all my memes from American Way magazine from now on!
Malibu rum with chocolate milk? Really? I love Malibu, but never thought to mix it with chocolate milk.
I actually got the idea back in college (after I turned 21, Mom, don’t worry) – the old Malibu bottles had drink recipes on the back, and it suggested putting Malibu in a cup of hot chocolate. I thought, “Why not chocolate milk instead?” And voila – my favorite drink EVER was born. Most people think I’m nuts, but it’s truly a WONDERFUL drink.
