This is not the best one I’ve EVER taken but it is a favorite for this week. It’s the port at Catalina Island and I just think it’s a gorgeous place. Very European feeling, in my opinion,

An Author I Admire
It would have to be Dean Koontz. he’s an amazing, prolific writer and has such wonderful dialogue. He’s witty and I love his books. His books aways have a spiritual element and I love that, too.

Sunrise vs. Sunset
I love sunset better than sunrise but I get to see some beautiful sunrises as I drive to Tallahassee once a month for court. I have to leave home around five am and it’s interesting to see what time the sun comes up- it varies based on the time of year. It’s awesome most of the time.

My Worst Prom Date
It was a prom. My parents were out of town. The guy I went with was a former boyfriend but we’d broken up when I found out he went out with another girl when I was on vacation in California. We already had prom plans, so we went anyway. It was awkward as he wanted to rekindle the relationship and I didn’t. When he took me home, he insisted on waiting until my parents opened the door. I’d forgotten my key and knew there was no one home and the parents would not be coming to the door. I FINALLY got him to leave. I knew the front window lock was broken and I could climb in that way. The windows were the same length as the door but were split paned, so I had to get on my knees to crawl in. So, here I was with my butt in the air, in a formal gown, crawling in the window and just KNOWING he was going to just drive around the block and come back. In retrospect, when I think about my frantic, speedy crawl through that window, all the while worried that he’d come back and find my parents gone and try to take advantage of that situation, I crack up. What a sight that would have been for him to see.

My First Album
My first Album I bought with my own money was an Osmond Brothers Album- I can’t remember the name of the Album but it was the one with “One Bad Apple” on it. I lived in Virginia and bought it at the grand opening of a Zayre’s store in Fredericksburg. It was under five dollars since my allowance at the time was $5.00 a week.

If I Were President
I would look much older than I am. I would’ve gone almost completely grey in my first year or so in office. The burdens of the office are much more intense than the benefits, in my opinion. Who wants to have the weight of the world on their shoulders and get old before you need to? Not me! I’ll pass.

A Favorite Game Show
I’d love to be on Cash Cab. Not so much for the prize money but because I enjoy Ben and the questions. I’m a huge trivia nut and I do pretty well answering the questions- the other great thing about being on Cash Cab would mean I was in one of my favorite cities- New York!

My Competitive Side
1 of 2 Two delightful girls give thumbs up – Runners at 1st Annual Rock 2 Rock 5 Mile Fun Run
I’m competitive about Everything. Every single thing. Wish I wasn’t but I am. That being said, I don’t begrudge anyone their own achievements. I relish it when my friends succeed. To me, their success takes nothing from me so I can be happy for them. So, I guess the real truth is- I’m competitive with myself and place too much pressure on myself, but that’s the way I roll. I’m too old to change!

Why I’m Thankful for Caller ID
I have a family member that never calls me unless she has a legal question. Even if it’s not something I handle or it’s a different state, she calls. She won’t give up calling until I pick up the phone- even if I can’t answer the question and even if my spouse tells her I’m not home, she’ll call back and leave messages like “I know you don’t want to get involved, but…”
She NEVER calls just to chat or to see how we are. I feel very used. I don’t like it at all.
