Outgrown
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? My hobbies have remained pretty consistent throughout my life. I learned to crochet when I was a single-digit age and still like to do it. I’ve since added knitting to the list with plans to start spinning fiber into yarn in… →

I don’t have a sweet tooth, but…
What’s your favorite candy? Reese’s peanut butter cups are my absolute favorite candy. There is nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate. My love is real and it’s deep. I even had an orange t-shirt with the Reese’s logo on it back in high school. For Christmas one year, my mother-in-law bought me the package… →

Me? A Break?
Do I need a break? I say that with a little smile on my face. Honey, this is my break. If this question had come up exactly one year ago, the list of what I needed a break from would have been long. I needed a break from grad school–the classes every week, the short-term… →

Technology, Ain’t it Grand?
The most important invention in your lifetime is… I’m not saying this is the best invention because it scares me, but I think AI is the most important. I’m tempted to say the internet is the most important, but I think AI has implications for the future that reach way beyond any of our lifetimes.… →

Don’t Make Me Do Anything
This one is so simple and easy to answer! My ideal day is one where I don’t wake up to an alarm clock and don’t have to go to work. I don’t have to clean anything around the house, and for that matter, I don’t have to leave the house. The entire day is spent… →

That kind of event influenced my perspective by confirming for me that it’s possible for there to be one perfect person in the world for everybody. My husband and I were together for 13 years before… →

Laundry, How I Hate Thee
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. Laundry. It’s never actually done. I’m good about getting it through the washer and dryer, but that whole idea of folding it and putting it away? Ew. And there’s only two of us living here! Why is there so much of it?! My husband asserts that… →

I Cook So We Don’t Starve
What’s your favorite thing to cook? Since you asked, I don’t like to cook, therefore I have no favorite thing to make. I do it as little as possible. I’ve tried to like it, I really have. I’m going to reference the movie “Julie & Julia” yet again because I have tried to think of… →

The Matrix. Dot Matrix.
Write about your first computer. Picture it…Christmas morning. 1994. I walk out of my bedroom to see a faux wood computer stand with a hutch and little cabinet doors covered in a big red ribbon and bow. I was so excited. I don’t even know what kind of computer it was. IBM was somewhere on… →

Scared? Do it anyway!
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? I don’t have a good answer for this today because I’ve already done something that I was most scared to do. I’ve written about this a LOT, but especially with this question today, it’s worth mentioning again.… →
