What is the funniest movie you’ve ever seen? What About Bob?

What’s your greatest pet peeve? People wasting my time! Ugh!

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? My Kindle (book reader), sunscreen, food

What was your first car and did you love it or hate it? The first car I bought myself was a Dodge Omni. I owned it for 12 years and when I got rid of it, it had 52,000 miles on it. That's because it broke down in a variety of ways and I couldn't trust it. It's the only car I ever names - CFH (Car From Hell). I loved to hate that car.

Describe your fantasy vacation. Fly to Hawaii and spend a week. Fly on to Tahiti and spend several days. Fly on to Sydney and spend a few days. Take a cruise to New Zealand. Spend a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm a vacation dreamer...

How do you celebrate your birthday? I usually celebrate over multiple days with several celebrations. They might be low-key, but things I enjoy.

  • What is the funniest movie you’ve ever seen? - So many! One of my favorites is Undercover Brother. I don't know if it's the funniest, but I definitely watch it when I want a pick me up
  • What’s your greatest pet peeve? People who want to get paid, but don't want to work.
  • If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you? Big Bubble, some tools, and shelter. I say Big Bubble because he can fish, knows how to purify water, can fix anything, he's truly McGuyver. He could keep us alive for weeks and find a way off the island. I would whine and get myself killed in a couple of hours.
  • What was your first car and did you love it or hate it? Toyota Corolla. Absolutely loved that car!
  • Describe your fantasy vacation. - Somewhere that's 68 degrees with old buildings, plenty of places to walk, cobblestone paths, lots of greenery, and room service.
  • How do you celebrate your birthday? - low key, but usually the entire month. My best friend and mom have birthdays close to mine, so I feel I'm always celebrating.
  • What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done? - I gotta think on that one. Seems my life is one embarrassment after another

What is the funniest movie you’ve ever seen? National Lampoon's Vacation

What’s your greatest pet peeve? Smacking, snoring and sneezers who don't cover their noses

If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want to have with you?
Food, tools/materials to navigate off the island, medicine

Describe your fantasy vacation. Cruise to Antarctica to take a quick dip in the frigid waters.

How do you celebrate your birthday? I turn off my cell phone because too many people have interrupted the one special day to me with complaints about their problems after saying happy birthday. Then I proceed to stay up all night watching movies and eating all the junk I want. I make splurge purchases too,

What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done? A few years before Youtube thank goodness, I was acting silly and dancing my butt in my cousin's face and I didn't know I was being filmed. Later that year, my sister showed the video over Thanksgiving to the entire family. They never saw that dancing side of me so I was embarrassed for them to know I looked like a stripper on a pole. lol

What is the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done? It's not something I did purposely. I had a job interview and had to get some pantyhose (this was over 25 years ago). I'm tall so I couldn't find any pantyhose for my height. I decided to put my panties over the too short pantyhose I purchased to help them stay up. They stayed in place during and after the interview, but I decided to test my luck and run to the grocery on the way home. Bad mistake. I could feel them slipping while I was walking back to the car. Unfortunately, the faster I walked the more they slipped. To my horror, I looked down and my panties were at my ankles. It was broad daylight and I was mortified. There was a man standing in front of me with this weird grin on his face. I stepped out of them, grabbed the front of my skirt to keep my pantyhose from slipping all the way down, and ran the rest of the way to my car. EMBARASSING!! Good thing though, I did get the job.
