Random Dozen...





1. Define a great relationship:  Friendship, trust, laughter, support, compromise, understanding....

2. Why is it called a "drive-through" if you have to stop? (Real question: What was the last food/drink you purchased at a drive-through?): After our hike on Monday we ran to Timmys at Nottingham.  Lloyd had a coffee.  I had a bottle of water.  The children each had a bagel and a small iced capp.  I wasn't hungry at all but was really thirsty for something cold - I just wanted water and all the water we had taken with us was gone...

3. As I type this, the Butler Bulldogs are getting ready to play in the NCAA championship game. Every Hoosier is hysterical about this except me. So in honor of the Bulldogs ... what is your favorite breed of dog? (I tried.)  I like many breeds of dog.  I'm not attracted to small dogs at all really.  I like large breeds.  I love blue great danes....Red Setters...but I really do think you can't beat Golden Retrievers - they are just so friendly and devoted and loving....real family dogs!!!  I think Burnese Mountain Dogs are gorgeous too.  

4. If you had to move to a state besides the one you currently live in, where would you move?  Well I don't live in a State - I live in a Canadian Province, and although I always thought I wanted to live in the US, a few things lately have made me think twice about that.  However, I would like to live somewhere warmer or at least have a Winter home somewhere warmer....I'm still undecided as to where - maybe by the coast somewhere.

5. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?  I would have stopped my parents moving to the house they moved to in my teens - and I would have stopped Lloyds parents moving away when he was in his teens too - BUT saying that, everything worked out anyway - so all in all I wouldn't change a thing ;)

6. Who's the funniest person you know?  My husband - and my children...they all make me laugh so much and they 'get' me and my humour so they know how to really make me laugh!  Lloyd makes me laugh the most - not a day goes by without us laughing like crazy about something!!!

7. Did you get enough sleep last night?  NO!!!!  I was awake at 3am for about 2 hours and then Lloyds alarm went off at 6am but luckily he changed it and came back to bed for a while :)  I think we're both tired this morning!  Not a good night!

8. What's the first thing you thought about this morning?  Lloyd woke me up with coffee and so we just sat telling each other how tired we were and giggling really...he was in his suit and I was trying to open my eyes but some mornings they just don't want to open - like this morning.....and it's funny....I'm so glad I don't have to get up and go out to work!

9. Grilled or Fried? I don't fry anything!  I don't often grill anything either...I tend not to cook things that way...but if I had to choose I would say grill because frying isn't healthy...if I had to fry I would drain off all the fat - ewwwww!!!

10. Are you afraid of the dark?  No...I think it's fun.  To go out for a walk i the dark is fun and you can scare each other with noises etc....try and guess if there are animals around etc.  We live so far out there are no street lights or anything so it's VERY dark out here....the stars are amazing...I love it :)  

11.When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?  An educational psychologist lol - I wanted to work with kids who truanted etc etc hahahahaha  which is kind of bizarre because now I think so differently about schools that I have homeschooled all of my children at some point and am unschooling my youngest two children....I would prefer if my older children chose different paths but unfortunately they have been institutionalized for too long now.....

12. If you had one word to describe yourself , what would you choose?  Me.
