Here are the questions she asked.

Questions:
1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family? I have a can named Neo (yes I named him after the Matrix) who was my baby before I had a baby. Now he’s still pretty cool, but come on, he’s a cat.

2. If you could have a dream come true, what would it be? Wouldn’t have to worry about money, health, safety issues. Really it’s money.

3. What is the one thing most disliked by you? That some people lie like it’s going out of style and have no idea what the word communicate means. And yes, this is about one person. And no, no one on here knows him.

4. What would you do with a billion dollars? Travel, pay off bills, buy the family/parents new houses, help charities. Basically anything anyone with a billion dollars would do.

5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood? Exercising. Reading. Scented bath. Hanging with friends. Watching a good movie.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? Both. I love that my daughter loves me…even if she says she doesn’t when she’s throwing a tantrum.

7. How do you unwind? Reading, listening to music, exercising, taking a scented bath.

8. What is your bedtime routine? Oh, the usual hygiene things, get the kid to sleep. Then internet/writing (I write at night mostly!) and sometime in there is a snack.

9. If you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be? La Nora.

10. What kinds of books do you buy? I love all books. I read a lot of romantic suspense, medieval romances, contemporary…really whatever catches my eye. I try to read different genres to keep my voice fresh.

11. Where do you see yourself in ten years time? Writing a lot. Being uber healthy. Ooo maybe even dating by then.

12. What’s your fear? Inflation (how is anyone in my generation supposed to get by?). Something happening to my child. Health. Growing old and having no money. Seriously, getting old is a fear. It’s like…do I save for college for my kid or save for myself? Oh, that’s if I have any money left over to save. Seriously, this economy SUCKS.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is? She’s a talented writer :)

14. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Feed the kid and check email.

15. What’s your favorite magazine? I subscribe to Self magazine I think. Or is it Fitness. I do read it. I swear. Sometimes. They always have like crazy workout/fitness routines though. Just throw my arse on the elliptical for an hour and I’m good.

16. Formal wear or casual wear? Casual all the way. I’d live in my pajamas if I could. But I do love getting dressed up and stuff for conferences.

17. Mountains…. or seashore? Hmmm seashore with mountains behind me.
