.
.

within the three hours that follow.
2. If you could eat lunch with one person, who would it be? Katherine Hepburn.
I would say my Dad who recently passed away – but lunch just wouldn’t be enough.

.
.....Am I the only one that doesn't like the incomplete sentences on "get to know you"
questionnaires like this??.....moving on.....

It's SO fun to have a stick again.....vroom, vroom!

24. Where were you born? Twin Cities, Minnesota
25. Favorite sport to watch: Is demolition derby officially a sport?
No? Then Baseball – great when in the stands…great when
dozin’ on the couch on a summer afternoon. It’s good either way.
I love cars - so the Indy 500 is great – but it only comes once and year
and jealousy sneaks in when I watch (I’m a frustrated racer) so it's bittersweet.

humor who gets
what's going on here. DO IT! (copy this - put in your own answers and email me!)

but they weren’t given as an option, were they?
30. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Ha, ha! Yeah, morning person.
31. What is your shoe size? Excuse me? Why don’t you just ask
how much I weigh while you’re at it. How rude.
32. Do you have any pets? I've adopted two cats from the Eau Claire County
Humane Association.
Monty - is a total rock star! Awesome personality,
acts like a dog - but attacks my face in the night so now they're
banished from the bedroom.
Miss Priss - is...well, a priss. (hence the name,
if it weren't so fitting I would have picked a cooler name).
It was really hard to decide to get another pet after my dog died back
in January of '07. No one will ever fill the void she left
Some day I may get another dog - but I don't feel like I have
the time to give one right now...but they are awesome, awesome pets.
33. What is your dream car? The 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition
Court Figoni & Falaschi Coupe.
34. Favorite vegetable? It used to be potatoes. But since learning that they hype up
your glycemic index and turn everything in to fat I'm rather peeved at them.
My new favorite vegetable has yet to be decided...that's a big decision. Stay tuned.
35. Last book you read or are reading? Admittedly I’m not much of a
“reader” – the last book was read was The DaVinci Code.
If every book were as compelling – I’d be a bookworm.
And I frequently visit - Dear Professor Einstein: Albert Einstein's Letters
to and from Children. Very interesting...a suprising look at Einstein.
36. First thing you do when you wake up? Hit the snooze bar and
think to myself – “Really? Already? I need to go to bed earlier tonight….”
Witnesses of a flooded street in Washington got to see more than water. A group of migrating salmon was swimming across it. One of the fish was even caught by a frisky dog. The flooding on the Skokomishriver occurs almost every year after heavy rain on the Olympic Mountains.
