3. Do you like to drink the juice out of freeze pops?
i did when i was a kid, which was the last time i had a freeze pop.

4. Who is the last person you wrote a letter to on paper?
does writing in a card count? assuming it does, i wrote one just this week but i don't think it's arrived at its destination yet. so... in the interest of letting "happy mail" be a surprise, i'm not saying who!

5. What was your first real job?
i would say the steady babysitting job i had. i know you're rolling your eyes at "babysitting" but i sat for the same family almost every single weekend (they had a band that played parties & weddings & such). pretty nice being paid cash, under the table & all! if that doesn't count, then the first job requiring me to file taxes was working at a sandwich shop. cured me of ever wanting to work food service again.

sauerkraut!

15. Are you emotional?
not at the moment. but i am a girl, so i am more than capable. ;-)

16. Have you ever had the same dream more than once?
yes & i was *just* thinking about this! i used to have a recurring nightmare when i was a kid. it involved the school i went to & savage Native Americans trying to kill me & a wise old man under the stage in the gymnasium who told me how to escape but in order to do so i had to run across the parking lot that was filled with human skulls. i probably had that dream every couple of months. and i always knew what would happen next, even while i was dreaming, but it still scared the bejeezus outta me. what made me think of that dream was that i recently had another dream i had as a child, also in the halls of my old school up above all the lockers were glass boxes containing angry animals (cheetah, lion, bear, bobcat, etc) trying to break free & attack me. yeah, i don't know either.

i probably could. i'm not sure i'd *want* to, but i think i could do it if i had to. it's not like i would be the one doing the hard work. oh dear God... i hope i wouldn't have to deliver my own!!

20. What was the most recent thing you bought?
a couple of new sleeveless shirts. i had to retire a couple but i couldn't afford to have fewer, especially this time of year!

21. What is on your refrigerator door?
a photo of Baby Girl & Baby Brother from Christmas. a photo of Alison's kids from Christmas. Krystyn's son's birth announcement. a card from Nichole. and the first card posted here from Lisa which is so pretty that it makes me smile every single time i see it. =)
