Interview

I'm sure everyone has seen the interviews going around. Heck, I'm probably the last one to actually get one done! Kristal was kind enough to send me five fabulous questions, and here are my responses.

What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?
Hmmm. I eat anything. No really. I will try anything once. The strangest thing I ever ate on a regular basis was probably when I was a kid. Mac-n-cheese has always been a favorite of mine. Well, for about a year, I used to LOVE eating it with steak sauce (i.e. A-1.) I tried it again recently, but it was not nearly as good as I remember. Another thing I never got into was deep fried spinach. Flash or pan fried spinach is great, but deep fried is really gross. It's like breading filled with tissue paper. Ugh.

You have to endure a natural disaster (earthquake, hurricane, etc.). Which would you choose and why?
Well, I did several tornadoes growing up in the Texas panhandle. We had that earthquake last year, but it wasn't serious. I think I would choose hurricane though. You always know it is coming at least a couple days in advance so you can prepare. The drawback is that it can last so long.

You are offered the position of President of the United States. Would you take it or not? Why?
I had to think about this one for a long time. I think I would rather be a Supreme Court Justice (even though I'm not a lawyer) than be the President. The reality is that the office of the president has very little power in terms of day-to-day policy. The Congress has much more power in terms of legislation. I feel like being president has a whole lot of requirements but not as much reward. Plus, the pressure it would inevitably put on my family would probably make me feel very guilty. I would always wonder if they resented me for putting them in that situation.

Would you rather be hilariously funny or drop dead gorgeous?
I'm ashamed to admit that I would rather be gorgeous. I know all the stuff about beauty being skin deep, fading with time, etc. But having always been average at best, I would really love to even be pretty.

You have to sum up your life on a bumper sticker…what would it say?
Where did those breadcrumbs go? I left myself a path somewhere!

Well, there you have it. If any of the five people who read my blog still need to be interviewed, give me your e-mail, and I'll send you five questions.

My First Tag!

Angie tagged me! I feel so special. She mentioned how sometimes blogging feels like a popularity contest, and I certainly know how that goes. It's cool to know that some people do read though. So thanks Angie!

Here is the premise for the award:

I tried to nominate people who I don't think always get noticed. Thanks for making my days go by a little quicker!
