Inspiration came from Kendra today, with some modifications from me.
What is the last thing you watched on TV? The news. I'm not really a TV watcher, but I do try to catch the news a couple of times a week - which goes hand in hand with the Today show. Gotta stay informed.
When did you last step outside? What were you doing? I just got home from picking up my kid from choir practice. It's FREEZING. While I was in DC, it was 70 degrees at home. Today? 36, with wind gusts of 35 mph.
What is on the walls of the room you are in? Pictures of my kids, pictures they drew, 2 white boards with work notes jotted all over, funny and sarcastic sayings - I'm in my office.
If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? I'd have a lazy river pool put in my back yard, a hot tub and I'd redo my bathroom. And then I'd go to the bookstore.
Tell me something about you that most people don’t know. I don't think that there's anything about me you don't know.
Who made the last incoming call on your phone? Telemarketer.
What was the last book you read? I just finished Unbroken. I'm midway through Orphan Train.
If you could change something about your home, without worry about expense or mess, what would you do? I'd rip out the stupid garden tub in my bathroom, convert it to an enormous two or more person shower, with jets from all angles. I'd make the current shower in to a bunch of cool shelving.
What was the last thing you bought? I paid for golf team for my son. No, wait, then I went to Target, where I bought the following: Method laundry softener, razor blades, shaving gel, bandaids, deodorant for a kid, Ensures, cortizone cream, eczema cream, raspberries, strawberries, fresh green beans and cherry tomatoes. And Peet's French Roast K cups and half and half. Oh, and a new pair of sunglasses, since the old ones had a super scratch right over the middle of the lens.
If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? No one. I'm not a celebrity person. The reality is, eating lunch with a celebrity isn't a big deal to that person, and when you are done, they don't remember you and it made no mark on their lives. I once had lunch with Jillian Michaels and found this to be so true. I'd rather eat with someone who isn't famous, but to whom that lunch would mean something - really, mean something to both of us.
Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Sephora. All the way. Or Amazon, but that's not really a store, I guess.
Is the glass half empty or half full? Of what?
Name something that took you by surprise. When I took my kid to the doctor today to have her face looked at and we left with an ear infection - she has reported absolutely no pain.
Name one TV show you will watch every time it's on - Family Feud with Steve Harvey. That guy is hysterical.
Name a movie you will watch no matter how many times you've seen it. Overboard with Goldie Hahn.
What's your favorite musical? I have a ton, but probably Fiddler on the Roof, Rent, or Spamalot.
What’s the farthest-away place you’ve been? Vancouver.
What’s under your bed? The controls to my bed. I'm super anal about keeping it clean under there.
What is your favorite time of the day? When I'm in bed, reading for a few minutes. Everything is done - everyone is quiet.
What Inspires You? Really good writing.
Orphan Train is one of my favorite books!!!

BTDT with the ear infection. One Thanksgiving, I KNEW our then-3-year old had a cough, but it wasn't a COUGH, so I held off going to the doc. After a visit to the inlaws over that weekend, it hadn't cleared, so I took him in. 102 fever in the office (yes, I had taken it at home; nothing) infections in BOTH ears, and bronchitis. I. Felt Like. Such. A. BAD. Mom. Especially after I called my mil to tell her the "surprising" news, and she said, "I KNEW something was up. He kept us up both nights, coughing." He's 27 and turned out OK. :)

A shower for two or MORE people? Sorry, it's hard to not read into that one :)
I would love to have multiple jets in my shower. Also, unlimited hot water.
