Random facts about me:
1.
I am named after a little girl Mom used to
babysit. She had blonde curly hair. She died of spinal meningitis. I have no
middle name.
2. This
is my 599th blog post, I dedicate it to Kristen.
3. I
think I am way funnier than I actually am. Do not get me wrong, I am funny
stuff, but it takes a special person to get all of my humor.
4. I
can tie a cherry stem with my tongue; I can also open a Starburst wrapper with
my tongue. I have many skills. #wwynnihs Sadly …
5. I
am an introvert in an extrovert’s body.
6. I
have one training class left and I will be a certified foster parent. I just
have to wait to be licensed, and my house has to be licensed as well.
7. I
am a kosher Mormon because I am allergic to pork. I retain an unhealthy mix of
Jewish/Mormon guilt over things I do not need to feel guilty for.
8. My
deepest ambition is to feel confidence in my singing ability and be cast in my
dream musical roles.
9. I
do not like confrontation, but I usually do not back down from a fight.
10. I am
Mormon, as mentioned before, but I also am a Democrat with pretty liberal
views. I support gay marriage for many reasons; mostly because I would not like
people to take my rights away and it is not for me to judge, it is for me to
love and respect.
11. I
was pretty methodical about answering this award for Foxy because 1) I did not
want to disappoint her B) The questions were so great and LAST) it was a great
way to avoid thinking about work.
Answers to Foxy’s questions:
1. If money/success were no hindrance to you
what would you be doing for a living? Why?
I would be a crossing guard. Sure the morning hours suck, but then you get most of the day, until you have to go back to work around 2:00. How great would that be?

2.
Is
there a character from a movie/book you most relate to? Who is it?
I relate to the character of Anne Elliot in Jane Austen’s classic ‘Persuasion’. This is not because my family even remotely relates to her family members, rather I relate to the story of feeling overlooked sometimes in regard to love.

4.
What
is your guiltiest pleasure?
Swearing. I have a potty mouth. I try to watch my mouth around those it would offend, but sometimes nothing feels as good as letting out a slew of cuss words.

What
would you today tell the you of ten years ago?
Great question!! My answer is twofold: Just get the hysterectomy now, you will get one anyway, why stay in pain for 10 more years? And start working out NOW to get in shape. Holy crap it is harder when you are older!

6.
Do you
sing along to the radio? What's your favorite song to sing to?
I sing along with my iPod, rarely do I listen to the radio. I sing at the top of my lungs to almost everything as long as I am in a good mood. If I am in a pissy mood I do not sing.

If you
won the lottery tomorrow, what would be your first non-bill/debt paying
purchase?
So after I pay off the debt I have, pay off my house, and the houses of my loved ones … then I would take my dearest friends on a trip to New York where the flight, shows, food, and hotel stay are on me. I would make them pay for their own souvenirs … because come on, I can’t be THAT generous. We would stay for a week and see a show a night. Right now what would we see? Good follow up question Foxy! I am thinking “I’ll Eat You At Last”, “Lucky Guy”, “Once”, “Nice Work if You Can Get It”, “Matilda”, “Wicked” (because I won the lottery and I can see it again!), “Newsies”, and well who knows about the last one. I might surprise myself and see “Book of Mormon.” Though I hear the book is better; I have read it, I love it! Who would be in this group of lucky ones to come with me? Oh crap I cannot answer that right now on the basis that it could incriminate me later.

Favorite
vacation spot?
If I could sit my fat butt down on a beach in Maui for the rest of my days I think I would be a very happy person. I loved my vaca to Hawaii!

Describe
your perfect day.
All I can think right now is that line from ‘Miss Congeniality’ where Cheryl Frasier says “I’d have to day April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” My perfect day involves a full night’s sleep, waking up not to an alarm, my house is magically spotless, my Mom does not have cancer, I have people who love me and make me laugh more than should be allowed my law around me all day, I win a Tony for directing, and my people have their perfect day too. I do not think it is too much to ask!!

10. What is one
thing on your bucket list?
I want to visit all of the Presidential Libraries especially JFK’s.

11. If you could be anyone else for a day who
would you choose and why?
This is the question that kept me thinking. I had a pretty big list that included everyone famous from Sutton Foster to Bette Midler, from Michelle Obama to Mother Theresa, from President Reagan to Mikhail Baryshnikov. Meh, it would be fun, but honestly I would want to be whoever my Grandma Parker’s best friend was growing up so I could spend a day with her. She was an amazing adult and I wish I had known her when she was a youth.
