2. Do you have a writing background? No, I don’t write for my day job, I don’t have a degree in English or whatever, but while in school for my Paralegal Studies degree, I had to write a lot of legal briefs.  A LOT.  My professors always gave me A’s.

3. How often do you post?  I TRY to post every day, however, I don’t usually post anything on the weekends.  I’m basically too lazy to get up off the couch and walk into my spare bedroom, where the computer is.

4. What’s your favorite dessert?  I don’t normally eat dessert anymore, as I try and follow a Ketogenic diet (very low carb, high fat).  That said, Key Lime Pie is my go-to dessert while on vacay.  My sister and I will try it at every restaurant to see who makes the best.

5. Coffee or tea?  Coffee (with heavy cream) in the morning, or decaf with afore-mentioned key lime pie, but iced tea for lunch/dinner.

6. Favorite movie?  Gone With The Wind.  Sappy, but I have a thing about the Civil War.  Scarlett O’Hara and I have the same resting bitch face thing.  I believe it should be classified as a disability.

7. What makes you laugh out loud?  Stupid bathroom humor.  Larry the Cable Guy.  My nutty family.

8. Best place you’ve ever visited?  I loved the Bonita Beach, FL area and the rental house my sister and I stayed in.  Nothing like having a martini, floating in your own pool, after spending the day at the beach.  Paradise.

9. Something you like about yourself?  Physically — my legs (thanks Grandmas!).  Personality-wise —– my humor, my loyalty, and the way I can love someone so HARD (family, friend, lover).  By that I mean with my entire soul.

10. Best way to spend your spare time?  Out on Mom’s back deck, my whole family around, drinking wine and cracking each other up.

11. Who’s had the most influence on your life?  I can’t pick just one.  It’s a tie – my mother and my step-father.  My mother is the original bad ass of the family.  She’s still naughty but pretends she isn’t.  Raised us 3 “original” kids with an alcoholic Navy husband, then, when she left him, raised us in the projects…..until Daddy rescued us.  My step-father was 36 and never before married when he met and married a lady with 3 children, one of which was a teenager (me!).  He’s been our Dad, mentor, friend, etc. ever since.  We wouldn’t have another brother without him. He’s bad ass in his own way.
