Joining the 32nd Street Blog Parade!

I haven’t joined up with one of these things in a long, long time. This one seemed fun, so here I go!

1. What’s your favorite time of the day, and why?

I love early-mid evening. After dinner, when everyone is fed & happy & engaged in their own activity. I can go upstairs, pull out the computer, fire up the TiVo and have a little “me” time.

2. If health wasn’t an issue, what food could you live off of?

Oh, so many, many things. :hee: A good Starbucks frappucino, a big bag of Black Forest gummy bears, and the famous gondola sandwich from Avanti’s in Peoria or Bloomington, IL. I honestly can eat those things until my stomach fights back & my jaw cramps from chewing.

3. If you could have one wish granted (besides wishing for more wishes), what would it be?

To have the word (and sentiment behind the word) “retard” eliminated from the English language. To have my son, Henry, who has Down Syndrome, find accomplishment, success, love and, most of all, acceptance in his life.

4. What’s one thing that you get teased about a lot?

Probably my comic pratfalls. For some reason, I have the grace and dexterity of a drunken llama and my husband gets a lifetime of giggles from watching me trip myself, lose my balance and tip over and walk directly into doorframes.

5. If you could choose one movie, book, or TV show to spend your life in, which would you pick? What type of character would you be?

I’d love to live in the Harry Potter universe, I think. It would be cool to go to Hogwarts, learn magic and have Professor Snape to secretly dream of detention with. Oh, and there’s Lucius Malfoy, too. Look, I can’t pretend it’s really for any reason other than to hang out with Alan Rickman & Jason Isaacs. To pretend otherwise would be a big fat lie.

6. If you could have one talent that you don’t already have, what would it be?

I would love to be magically proficient on an instrument like piano or guitar. Or even drums. It would rock to be able to just sit down and accompany myself and do it well. I wouldn’t mind being an amazing writer, either.

7.If money were no object, where would you go on vacation?

All over Europe. I went to part when I was in high school, but didn’t visit as much as I’d like. I’d love to see Britain, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy (again), Greece – the whole deal.

8. If you were an awesome singer, which genre would you sing?

I don’t know how awesome I am, but I do sing already. If I could be a successful singer, I’d probably choose Praise & Worship

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, what would it be?

Amazon.com. If online doesn’t count, then Target. Definitely.

10. If you could live in any point in time, when would it be?

I love living now, but I’ve always been attracted to the Regency period. Cuz it’s filled with delicious British guys in breeches. Yeah, I’m a dork. But I’d have to be wealthy. It would be bad to be poor in this time period.

11. If every outfit in your wardrobe had to be one color, what would it be?

PURPLE!

12. If you were one of the seven dwarves, which one would you be?

(Doc, Grumpy, Sneezy, Sleepy, Bashful, Happy, or Dopey)
Sleepy. Hand’s down.

13. What’s the last album you listened to?

I don’t listen to entire albums, but I did listen to some songs from Lady Gaga’s album today.

14. What’s something we’d be surprised to know about you?

I got run over by a Homecoming float my freshman year of high school. Though, considering the answer to #4 above, how surprising is it, really?
