lula's asking the questions

I signed up over at Lulaville about a week ago for Lula herself to interview me. I thought she was actually going to fly down here and talk to me, but.....she chose email instead. Ah well! Maybe one day you'll make it here, eh Lu? ;) .

So, if you really have nothing better to do---here's some of my *thought vomit* for your reading pleasure (eeeew! I know!--sorry but I just couldn't help myself ) :

1. If you could have a lifetime 50% discount in any single store, which store would you choose?

This was a tough one! I mean I love Ann Taylor and would wear her stuff more IF it cost about 50% less. And I could have one styling pad if I had a discount at Lee Furniture. But in the end, I went with the practical answer: Wal*Mart. Because 50% off that stuff would make it about.... free.

2. You've been invited to the White House for dinner tonight, but you can only wear something you already own. What will you wear? How will you accessorize?

Lula informed me that she wouldn't go to the White House...and I think I'd agree with her. We'd respectfully decline, wish President Obama well, and then meet up at the Applebees down the street. Yup. That's how that would all go down. Nobody at Applebee's cares if you're accessorized or not. And I would wear my comfy pajamas, because I don't think Applebee's cares if you come in your pj's either.

3. Share a song whose lyrics best captured an experience you've had.
The chorus to a song called "Hold On, the Light will Come" by Michael McClean comes to mind:

It's a message every one of us must learn,

that the answers never come without a fight.

And when it seems you've struggled far too long,

just hold on, hold on, there will be light.

If you feel trapped inside a never ending night.

If you've forgotten how it feels to feel the light.

And if you're half-crazy thinking you're the only one, who's afraid the light will never really come.

Just hold on.

Hold on.

The light will come.

I listened to that song almost daily during my mom's cancer battle. Then again during my divorce. Good stuff. Speak to my soul kind of stuff.

------------------------------------

4. If you could pump enormous amounts of money into one area of scientific research, what would it be for?

It would probably be the cure for cancer. It sure seems to have been killing an awful lot of people I love lately. One day Meg and I are going to go after Cancer. And when we find it--I'm going to push it down and stand on it's throat while she kicks the crap out of it. Yeah... and I'd do that regardless of my imaginary money finding the cure for it or not. Cancer isn't even a little bit nice. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

----------------------------------
5. You've been given a time machine that will only travel forward through the years to come. Where will you go? Whom will you visit?

I don't really like this question. In all honesty, the future scares me. I'm much happier planning the best I can for it by making good decisions, but staying firmly grounded in the present--the only place I feel I can make any difference for now. I guess if I had to do something, I'd go visit **old lady Jennifer P. ** and help her out for a while. Maybe cook a meal or fold some laundry, listen to her talk about the good old days. She'd appreciate that. (and I bet she's really hot for an old lady too :) ).

----------------------

If anyone hasn't taken this "challenge" yet, and would like for me to send you 5 random interview questions that I make up---let me know in the comments, leave me your email, and I promise to send you something guaranteed to make you look brilliant. Besides...It's fuuuuuun :)!

and now, since this post was all about me, I present a previously unpublished photo of me----sitting on a dog-----cuz that's what I do :).
(and to Kamee the photographer's credit--I asked to pose like this! She doesn't ask people to sit on dogs....)

~~~Thanks Lula!~~~
