I have to say that most of the time I'm remiss in updating this blog, as I'm always busy - but for those that take the time to read it, I hope that time has been treating you well. :)

On a side note, it's almost a full moon - last night, looking up into the starry sky and see it shining down brightly.. it reminded me just how small I am. It also reminded me that I need to spend more time appreciating the little things, lest they pass me by.

Did America really put a man on the moon?

I'd like to think so, although there is a lot of "evidence" that debunks this. Call me paranoid, or a conspiracy theorist, but I confront most things in life with an air of suspicion!

Have you ever created a unique dessert, main meal or side dish?

No, unfortunately.

What three things would you like to change in the world?

1. The notion that we own the Earth
2. The concept of "living for the afterlife"
3. The idea that we are anything but one breed of creature - albeit differing hair color, skin color, beliefs, diet, etc.

When you're having a bad day, what do you do to feel better?
I try to put myself in perspective - I understand that a bad day for me is say, not getting my coffee and/or getting a parking ticket, while half way across the world.. it would take something truly horrific to impact the life of someone surrounded by death and pain constantly.

So, I try to suck it up, and stop being such a baby. If that doesn't work ice cream does have some magical healing powers. :)

Do you share any of your family's physical traits?

Some say that I have my Mother's eyes - I've actually been approached by people that didn't know me personally but could tell who I was just by my eyes.

But, more disturbingly, I have my Father's body hair. I was a "late bloomer" so I have some hope that I won't become a member of the "fur shirt" club, but there's a good chance that someday I too will have body hair curling out of my t-shirt's neckline. In the meantime all I can do is hope!

What was the last thing you cried about?
I spilled my milk.

What's your favorite dessert?
Hands down - peppermint chocolate chip ice cream. I love peppermint - peppermint coffee, mints, mouth wash, lamb kabobs.. regardless of what it's in. :)

What would you do for fun if you had to give up the tv, electronic games and computers?
Same stuff I do most days - play with the kids, play music, listen to music, cook.. talk politics, religion.

Geez, that one was easy. :)
