Questions for me:

• 1. Do you prefer pens or pencils?

I used to prefer pencils because you can erase your mistakes. I would always journal with a pencil but over the years the pages would fade, so now I ALWAYS use pen! I would rather have documented mistakes a cross-outs instead of no documentation at all! And I love using different colored pens. Oh and especially gel pens!!!

• 2. Name a bird that sings near you.

Red Robin, YUM!

• 3. Do you prefer tea, coffee, or water?

I definitely prefer tea! Basically any kind of tea.

• 4. Which of these views would you rather have outside your window? An ocean, a misty mountain, a sunny meadow, or a bustling city?

All of those sound nice to me except a bustling city. Anywhere in nature is very calming for me. I would prefer an ocean. The ocean is so beautiful, especially on a stormy night.

• 5. What do you do when it rains?

If I’m off work then I like to just stay home in the rain, open my window and listen to the sound, have a cozy day/night in bed. Make some tea. If it’s a light rain then I actually like to go outside and get a little wet and feel the rain.

• 6. Do you write posts ahead of time or publish the day you write?

I do a mix of both. If I’m planning ahead then I like to post it first thing in the morning. But others time I just post as soon as I’m finished writing.

• 7. How often do you remember your dreams?

Probably like a quarter of the time. More often if I take melatonin.

• 8. If you could safely visit any planet, what would it be? Fictional planets are allowed!

That’s a really tough question!! Because I love all the planets! Everyone jokes about going to Saturn to ski on its rings. I think going to Neptune would be really cool because it would be like all ocean. But if I had to choose I would want to go to any of the moons. I would pick Wallace & Gromit’s version of the moon which is made out of cheese (everybody knows the moon is made of cheese.)

• 9. Do monsters exist?

Yes!!!

• 10. What do you give people?

I like to give people laughter and inspiration and new ideas!

• 11. What do people give you?

People give me new ways of thinking and fresh perspectives.
