1. What do you keep a stock pile of?
Toilet paper.
6 people in the house, 4 of them kids, 3 of them boys, 1 of them 6 years old.
The answer?
Toilet paper.
2. If Ben & Jerry asked you to invent an ice cream, what would it be?
Either something fruity and sherbet-y or something like a big container of frozen peanut butter with little bits of chocolate thrown in.
You’d need a chisel to get it out of the carton, but it would be worth it, because you’d have huge chunks of peanut butter in which to sink your teeth!
Heaven.
3. How do you blow off steam?
Dancing.
You’ll know if I’m in an incredibly good mood, or if I’ve had an incredibly stressful day by the music emanating from the kitchen.
Rockin’ dance parties in the kitchen, while I cook dinner, help to eliminate huge amounts of stress.
Take me OUT to go dancing?
I’m relaxed for a week.
I love to go out dancing, but haven’t been in forever.
Except for Mark’s wedding, and that was awesome.
4. What would you do if you had an hour to yourself anywhere within a ten mile radius of your home…no kids, no hubby, just you?
I’d probably wind up going hiking.
There’s a little trail with BIG rocks to climb up, in the town in which we used to live, which isn’t too far away.
There are other, more challenging trails that I enjoy, but not within a 10-mile radius.
I love that trail, because I love the rock climbing.
It’s physically exerting
Monkey Girl loves to go on that trail with me, but if I had the hour to myself, I’d go alone because there is something to be said for being able to go at your own pace, and being able to listen to the ground under your feet and the animals around you. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to be in my own head, without having to actively listen to someone else, as my career and my life at home seriously revolves around active listening. I’m good at it. But sometimes…I just like to be in my head, with my thoughts.
5. When you were 16, what was your curfew in the summertime?
Um…I have no idea.
I think, maybe 11 or 12?
I wasn’t doing anything that would cause my parents to need me to come home early, so I’m not really sure.
Kim? Erin? Michaela?
A little help?
I kind of want to try hiking now. But it’s just…so…much…work! lol Maybe when the kids are bigger!

We have a local hiking trail that I love, and if I had time to myself I would love to bring my sketchbook there and spend time sitting in nature and drawing.

I’m a terrible artist, but I have thought about taking a book with me!
