there are years that ask questions and years that answer

How many friends do you have in real life that you talk to regularly?

      three

How much money per month is enough for you to live comfortably?       

    depends on your definition of "comfortably." This is a current concern, and as it stands now it's probably around $1,750.

When was your first impression of someone totally wrong? 

     My first impression of my ex-husband was wrong! When we first knew each other, I thought he was an arrogant, pushy prick. As it turns out, he's a mild-mannered, kind, self-effacing sweetheart. Glad he's no longer mine - but I'm also glad he exists in the world.

How many hours a week do you spend online? 

     far. too. many.

What do you love to do?

      dive deep into a subject and learn about it - and the more obscure the topic, the better

What specific character trait do you want to be known for?      

    serenity

Are you more like your mom or your dad? In what way?

      I am a mishmash of each of them (plus a healthy dose of uniquely myself). Some of it is an uncomfortable and seemingly contrary combination - but it's me. Detail orientation, ready napping, sweet tooth (actually snacks of all kinds), long fuse + explosion + rapid cool down, organization, prioritizing...

What is the number one quality that makes someone a good leader?      

    listening, rather than just waiting to talk

What bad habits do you want to break?

      eating snacks, letting the rubble in the house get to be too much, and pulling nose-in to my garage rather than backing in

What is your favorite place on Earth? 

     someplace peaceful and out of the way

What do you love to practice?

      I think this is why I never excelled at sports or music - I don't really like to practice anything. 

What questions do you often ask yourself?     

    • "Is this a migraine, or just a headache?" (more often just a headache lately! Yay!)

    • "Am I actually hungry, or just thirsty/bored/sad?" (usually thirsty. Drink water!)

    • "Why can't I see anything?" (oh, yeah, my glasses are dirty AGAIN!) 

    • "This seems familiar. Have I seen this movie before?" (uh, probably)

    • "righty ... tighty?"

What are you an expert at?     overthinking, rabbit-hole snorkeling, and building online shopping carts that I have no real intention of buying
