What is your favourite song/singer?

This is way too hard! I have a lot of favorites. One of my favorite singers is Willie Nelson, I stood outside, seven months pregnant, to see him in concert. :)
"Can't Help Falling in Love With You" was our wedding song, so that's another favorite.

What is your favourite dessert?
For our birthdays our mom always made rainbow chip cake with rainbow chip frosting. It's pretty much awesome, and it's what I make my kids now.

What ticks you off?
The thing that always makes me lose my temper is when I can't get things (usually the computer) to work right. Example, when I couldn't get my van door to open I eventually yelled, "piece of sh*t!" Once the door opened my two-year-old looked at me and asked, "piece of sh*t?" Um, whoops.

When you're upset what do you do?
Hmm, probably eat something sweet. Which is what I do when I'm celebrating, too. . .It's a wonder I'm not 300lbs. Thank goodness for having to run after little kids, I guess.

Which is/was your favourite pet?
This is tough, too. I'm going to pick two. :) Our collie, Chance, that we had when I was a kid. He was just like Lassie. No, for real, he was. :) And my first show horse, Beatle, (short for BBeat Goes On.) He is 22 now (we still own him) and is still teaching kids to ride. In fact he just took a little girl to a show last weekend.

Which do you prefer black or white?
I'll agree with Angeline on this one. Black, it's slimming. :)

What is your biggest fear?
My kids getting really hurt.

What is your attitude mostly?
I think I'm a pretty easy going person. Hmm, maybe I should ask my husband. . .
Okay, he said caring, but he might be sucking up. ;)

What is perfection?
I think it's all about what is perfect for you, whatever you're talking about. Whether it's a person, book, outfit, whatever, it's all about how it fits you.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Vanilla coolers from Caribou Coffee. I know they are filled with too many calories plus they cost more than they probably should, but they are so yummy.

Okay, now for ten random facts:

I live in the same small (less than 3000 people) town I grew up in.

I'm the middle of five kids.

I knit.

I've never been able to do a proper cartwheel, even as a kid.

I played Maid Marion in my high school play.

I can do a pretty decent impersonation of the giant tortoise from The Never Ending Story. (I did it for a speech in high school called Prayers from the Ark.)

I know how to make biscotti.

I'm messy. (And I married a neat freak.)

I've probably seen every episode of Gillmore Girls at least three times.

And #10- I recently had a short story I wrote picked for an anthology! I'm super excited, it's a first for me. I'll share more later. :)

And now to pass this on to seven others:

Doctor Faerie Godmother
Ashley Nixon
Tracey Joseph
Angela Cothran
