Your unique talent – I’m good at packing. I’ve moved over 30 times in my life (some across the country, some across the street) so I can pack a house and load a trailer like an expert.

Share something not many people know about you – I love shoes and jewellery. I’m at 45+ pair (and I donate them when I get tired of them) and I feel naked without a necklace and earrings.

 

Which best describes your personality:

 Are you a “pet person” or prefer no pets? Sorry, I don’t really care for pets. Too much work. I’m glad to be an ‘empty nester’ and I’m not about to take on what is essentially is another child!

Would you rather travel or stay at home? My bio-polar nature says both, in equal parts. J

Do you read more or write more? I probably write more, but I am an avid reader, too. It depends on my mood.

Prefer cake or pie? I definitely like pie better than cake. I can usually say ‘no’ to cake pretty easily unless it’s something spectacular.

Would, or do, ride a motorcycle or prefer to ride/drive a car? A car, thanks! I don’t like adventurous dare-devil stuff, although my husband has forced me to ride a motorcycle and other such motorized contraptions.

How about taking the bus or walking? It depends on the time of year.

Are you part of a big church congregation or a small church? Our church is small.

Would you describe yourself as happy or joyful? Happy.

Do you like to telephone people or prefer to use e-mail? I like email. It’s more expedient and you can do it on your own time. The exception is my children. I always love to talk to them.

Do you eat at home or eat out? Yikes! I’m embarrassed to say we eat out more frequently than we should. I don’t like cooking, so taking me out to a restaurant is always welcome.

Listen to music or prefer quiet? I love music, but when I’m writing I find I tune out the rest of the world, so it doesn’t really matter. I can write and watch TV, write and listen to music, write and have a crowd around. When I’m in the zone, it doesn’t matter.

Prefer sunrises or sunsets? I love sunsets for two reasons. First, as a prairie girl, I grew up with amazing sunsets. Second, I’m not a morning person, so I’m usually too tired and dysfunctional in the morning to enjoy a sunrise.
