2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?  not at all

3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are

going to say? Why?  No, but I might think about things I want to talk

4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?  When things go well

and I feel good about the day.

5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?  I sing in the car

I sang to myself.  I sing to the kids every day, so also Friday I sang to the

kids in my class.

6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body

7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?  no, I try not

to let myself think about such things.

13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future 

or anything else, what would you want to know?  What is our new school

They are hoping to break ground soon after we get out of school in May.

14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why

money, but Karl works all of the time too.  I am hoping in the next couple

of years.

15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?  Becoming a mom.  I was

so terrified to become a mom.  I was scared it would hurt really bad and I

would be a terrible mom.  It didn't hurt at all thanks to the epidural and

recovery wasn't too awful.  I was in my 20's, so it was fast.  I am not the

best mom in the world, but I sure do love it and Josh is such a blessing to me.
