But since I'm shy, I am at a loss of what to say about myself. Therefore, here are several random interview questions to illuminate you as to who I am. Q: What was the last thing that made you belly laugh? A: I can't remember, but it was definitely something one of my two kids {girl age 8, boy age 3} said. They are both hysterical. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Q:Where do you do your best thinking? A: On the treadmill, or the pavement. I have so many great thoughts and ideas while I'm running! It's got to be all those endorphins pumping through my veins. Q: Of what moment or time in your life are you most proud? A: Graduating from college. I marched across the stage 5 months pregnant carrying my I.V. I made it across the platform without passing out, and I was so pleased not to have used a wheelchair! It was a tricky pregnancy, and I was so proud of myself for sticking it out and graduating. Q: What are your most prominent personality traits? Which of your children seem to have these traits? Are there any you wish your kids wouldn't develop? A: I'm definitely compassionate, and articulate. Two things I'm happy to say have rubbed off on my daughter. She is a procrastinator for sure though, {definitely something she learned from me}. Hopefully I can break her of this before college. Q: You are stranded on a desert island and only have 3 books to read. What would you like to have with you? A: Only three?!! A Separate Peace, Franny & Zooey, & The Norton Anthology of American Literature {there is so much good stuff in there}. But honestly, I would need someone to ship me a few crates full. And even still, it would be very lonely without all my books around. Q: What TV shows are you embarrassed to admit you watch? A: Ugly Betty, Backyardigans {I have to beg my 3 year old to watch it}. Q: If you had the ability to travel/live anywhere with no financial limitations where would you go? A: Definitely Greece. Although hopefully in the very near future we will be temporarily relocating to Warsaw, Poland {the home of my husband}. I am anxious for my children to be fluent and speak with their father in his native tongue. {And urban international living has a nice ring to it doesn't it?} Q: If your life were a movie, what genre would it be? A: Definitely not a romantic comedy. But probably a really sweet romantic drama. I am so settled, peaceful, and utterly happy with my 2 beautiful babies, my amazing husband, & my home {wherever they are}. </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_moVN_DcZGRM/R3L13p4PeUI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Onghnvuci4Y/s1600-h/DSC_0384.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_moVN_DcZGRM/R3L13p4PeUI/AAAAAAAAAWc/Onghnvuci4Y/s320/DSC_0384.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148447660521257282" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_moVN_DcZGRM/R3L1qp4PeSI/AAAAAAAAAWM/e9PgwGWOCtc/s1600-h/DSC_0522.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_moVN_DcZGRM/R3L1qp4PeSI/AAAAAAAAAWM/e9PgwGWOCtc/s320/DSC_0522.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148447437182957858" border="0" /></a> </div>Petit Elefantnoreply@blogger.com2
