Dogs or cats?

No winner. It’s a tie.  We have a chocolate lab and two cats, one of whom my kids’ grandpa got for them 18 years ago and Whiskers is still with us.   We love our furry friends.

Have a super Sunday

I just helped put my husband through law school and helped him through the process of getting admitted to the bar in state number two, relocated from Colorado to Washington State state for my job, and I work in retail. I am all “adventured” out. 🤣.

Are you seeking security or adventure?

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

There are so many directions I would love to go with this.  One table would bring back my sister, my father in law, my sister in law and my husband’s grandparents all from heaven for a reunion.  I can also envision a table for our country’s founding fathers to hear their first hand account of history.  The last would be Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Lisa Marie for the dinner music !

What do you think gets better with age?

I would say my perspective on what is truly trivial and not important and what deserves my focus. And my ability to forgive and forget and not hang on with a death grip the inconsequential.

This prompt I assume is referring to sleep.  If so, what is this thing called sleep that thou doest refer to? 

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

What are you most excited about for the future?

I am most excited about the day when I don’t have to commute and spend my time working for someone else and my husband and I can truly be our own boss.  We have so little time to pursue our mutual interests and hobbies because we are consumed by ensuring other people’s/company’s success and at times I feel life is passing us by
