1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Well, the truth is I never pay the bills. Gus takes all of that over- he's much better with managing money than I am. Our biggest bill is the house so I'm sure that is the bill he hates paying the most.

2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Probably Gus and Mary's house when they were out of town. It's pretty much the only romantic dinner I've ever had. This was when Gus and I were still "new" in our dating relationship and I fell asleep on his old bed and he snuck out of the house, went to the grocery store, came back and made some of my favorite things from scratch (like chicken strips among other things) and put sprite (my favorite soda) in wine glasses. We had a candle lit dinner. And to both of our surprises (wasn't planned), It started snowing heavily at dinner and it was beautiful outside the windows! (Needless to say, after dinner, we rushed to clean up and get the heck out of there before we got stranded!) But I'll never forget that. It was the one and only time Gus went out of his way like that for me. I always joke and say, "That's back when he liked me."

3. Last time you puked from drinking?
I can't even remember. It's been almost 8 months since I've even had a drink and even before that, I usually stick to my beer and wine. If I puked, it's because I had mixed drinks.

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar?
I've never willingly danced on a bar while drunk, however at a friends bachelorette party, we went to one of the clubs on the Landing and their bars are lower and made of con-crete for the purpose of dancing on them. They make you get up there and dance... so I think I did once for a few minutes just out of politeness to the bachelorette, but that's not my kind of usual scene.

5. Name of your first grade teacher?
eeek! I can't remember that far back! I don't remember a lot from my childhood for some reason.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Well I should be getting in the shower and getting my errands done... but I'm pretty much doing what I really want to be doing right now: being lazy! Playing with my website!.... wait, wrong answer. I want to be in the Caribbean and past my pregnancy!

7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be an artist. When I was a teenager, more particularly a tattoo artist which I still think I'd be pretty good at. My 4th grade teacher (Mrs. Winslade) once told me that she thought I'd make a great Hallmark Card Artist...I never forgot that. That would be awesome. Today, I'm not much of an artist but I do use a tiny bit of skill that I have left remaining in my design at work.

8. How many colleges did you attend?
2. Hopefully I'll get a chance to go back part-time in the future.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
I'm in my PJ's still. I chose it last night because it FIT!

10. GAS PRICES?
Well..... They were almost $4 a gallon and right now are around $1.55 so I'm not complaining at the moment!!! However, we are still paying higher prices everywhere else due to gas prices being so high the past few years. Those prices will never come down. We are in a dark hole.

11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you?
I begged Gus to give up our life here to move to the Caribbean! I just wanted to up and leave! And I was serious! Now that I'm having a baby... maybe not... but it would be so hard to say no if the opportunity rose. I don't feel like I belong in the midwest. When I was a teenagers and young 20's, I wanted to move to the west coast so bad. Now I want to live by the water- whether it's the ocean or the Lake of the Ozarks.

12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
I woke up before my alarm this morning.

13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
I was watching a movie with Gus (Step Brothers) and fell asleep in the middle of it so I'm sure it was a funny thought whatever it was.

14. Favorite style of underwear?
Comfortable ones!

15. Favorite style of underwear for the opposite sex?
boxers

16. What errand/chore do you despise?
hah. All of them!

17. If you didn’t have to work, would you volunteer?
Absolutely. I'm always thinking of ways I can help anyways even though I do have to work.

18. Get up early or sleep in?
Both. Depends on the day and how much sleep I've had.

19. Who is your favorite cartoon character?
Ariel the Little Mermaid. She always was and still is. Maybe she is the reason I love the Caribbean so much today. ;)

20. Favorite NON sexual thing to do at night with a girl/guy?
Dinner, watch a movie by the fire.

22. When did you first start feeling old?
I started feeling "older" or maybe "grown up" at the age of 22... definitely by 24.

3. Favorite 80’s movie?
Not sure..... if Gus was answering this question, he'd have a whole list! He still watches Ghostbusters, Goonies, Karate Kid, Breakfast Club, etc... and he actually likes them. My favorite is probably the Never Ending Story!

24. Your favorite lunch meat?
Don't really like lunch meat but occasionally I will have a turkey or roast beef sandwich. Depends on the day.

5. What do you get every time you go into Walmart?
Mostly bathroom stuff.

26. Beach or lake?
Beach preferably but either will work in the summertime!

27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Ummm.... I think it depends. Marriage for me is good... Marriage is definately not for everyone. So my answer would be no for me. I don't think it's an outdated ritual.

28. How many people do you stalk on Facebook?
I have a facebook account but never check it.

29. Favorite guilty pleasure?
Chocolate? Like most women. And being lazy these days.

30. Favorite movie you wouldn’t want anyone to find out about?
Ummmm.... I really have no shame in the movies I like. Most of my favorite movies would be "guyish" movies such as Gladiator or 300. But my all time fav is Dances with Wolves still to this day. Not a big fan of chick flicks, love most comedies with Will Farrell, and love tribal and historic war movies such as the ones listed above. I love Boondock Saints too... one of my favs.

31. What’s your drink?
Ice cold Miller Lite bottle... or a glass of wine. Usually a semi-dry white or a dry red such as Cabernet. My favorite white is Stone Hill (from Missouri) White Steinburg. It's very calm, not too sweet, not too dry and everyone who has ever tried it, likes it! I give it as gifts sometimes. I also love Stone Hill's Traminette. It's a semi-dry white with a slight apple flavor to it. Yum! We order it by the case. But I love lots of wines. Even cheap ones.

32. Cowboys or Indians?
Indians

33. Cops or Robbers?
Cops

34. Who from high school would you like to run into?
Um.... I see most of the people I went to high school with! All you have to do is go to Alton, haha. Especially going to weddings and bars... everyone is there!

35. What radio station is your car radio tuned to right now?
Either 106.5 the Arch or 102.5 the Christmas Station. Yeah I'm cheesy, I know.

36. Norm or Cliff?
Norm!!! (Remember how the bar would all yell, "Norm!!!" when he walked in the door?) Where everybody knows your name! And they're always glad you came!

37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons?
Definitely the Cosby Show. I don't find the Simpsons at all funny. 

39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work?
Yes
 

40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill?
Hmm... I would be like the guys on the movie Boondock Saints (another one of my favorites) and kill really bad people. I mean, really bad people.

41. What famous person(s) would you like to have dinner with?
Oprah, Anderson Cooper of CNN, Don Cheadle (actor), Bono (singer/songwriter of U2), Chris Martin (singer/songwriter of Coldplay), Nelson Mandela (former prisoner who later became the first elected president of South Africa who worked hard to form a peaceful multi-racial democracy in S. Africa), and there are others, but these are the people who come to mind first. I would not want to discuss what they are famous for, I would want to discuss the different projects and work they've done all over Africa as well as other places in the world.

43. Have you ever had to use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
No.

44. Last book you read for real?
Pregnancy books, A New Earth (not finished)

My Grandpa Neil's lodge 3 hours outside of Toronto in the wilderness.

48. Do you go to church
No.

49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship ?
Definately not a relationship and probably not a new career at this moment. That would be a lot on my plate considering I'm having a new baby in 2 months.

50. Just how OLD are you?
26
