My Turn To Answer Jackee's Questions...

I'm so glad Jackee came up with the idea of us answering each others questions. It was so hard to not comment on her blog for almost three weeks!

So here are my answers to Jackee's questions...

1. What’s more important to you, shoes or food? Shoes, for sure...How can you go and buy the food without shoes???

2. Are you a lister or a Post-it all over the office type? I'm an obsessive lister and crosser offer!
3. If you could choose your own last name, what would it be? Sheen (Umm, I'm not telling why.)
4. MG Fantasy or YA Sci-fi? MG HF or anything PB
5. Like life sweet or salty? Salty for sure...cheesy is even better!
6. A picture or a word person? Too hard to answer!  I love pictures and art of almost any form and the same goes with words...I'll read almost anything!
7 If your life was an open notebook, what would the headline read? The headline would have to be the dedication page...My first book will be dedicated to my Grandparents.  They mean so much to me.  Both of them are wonderful story tellers...
8. At home do you like to go barefoot, slippered, socked, or shoed? Socked.  My daughter makes fun of me because I have car socks.  I love wearing sandals, but I'll wear socks when I'm in the car and take them off when I get out of the car.
9. You’ve heard it said everything you need to know you learn in Kindergarten? Name one of those things. I didn't go to Kindergarten...(which might explain a few things...)

11. What is the wildest thing you’ve ever done? I flew in a helicopter over the Grand Canyon!
12. What is one of your favorite smells? Channel No. 5 is my favorite smell!
13. What is an interesting bedtime ritual you have? I have to get all of my pillows in the exact right spots before I can rest...
14. What is an interesting morning ritual you have? I take Macy out first thing in the morning, so all of the neighbors have seen me in my pj's...
15. Have you ever known a “one-upper” and if so, what was it they did/said? I'm a bit worried that I might be one...I usually have a story for most circumstance.
16. Favorite meal of the day? Breakfast!
17. What is your biggest pet peeve, the thing that can heat you up so fast you’ll pop your hull? I don't like laziness or people who take advantage of others.
18. If you were king/queen of the world, what would be the first thing on your “To Do” clipboard? First, I would provide world health, not health insurance...perfect health for everyone!  Second, I'd end all violence in the world. Third, I'd give book deals to all my writing buddies....(Yeah I know I was just supposed to do one...)
19. Favorite breakfast food? Vegetarian sausage
21. What’s your favorite magazine? Highlights For Kids
22. How often do you wash your hair? Let's just say I'm better than Robert Patterson...

Jackee had a couple extra questions just for me:
1.What elements would entail a "perfect" life for you? I think a constant feeling of happiness and worth would make life perfect.  (No floods, no pets dying, no hail storms, acceptance letters, friends, good health)

2.How did you meet your husband? We met when I was 17.  I skipped a year of high school and started college early.   He was someone I admired from the moment we met.  He was driven, brilliant and an all around great guy.  We'll be celebrating our 25th anniversary next year.  It's hard to believe!  We keep our marriage fresh by still have firsts in our lives...like the Harley.  :) 

We both appreciate all of your participation in our blog party.  It's been great getting to know you.  I'll be gone for a couple days.  I'm going to visit Susan.  When I get back I'll be adding some new people to my blog roll.  (smiles)
