a BYOC marathon

1. If you ever won the lottery what's the very first thing you would do?
Change my pants before someone noticed the smell.


2. What is your favorite curse word?
Hmmm. I used to cuss like a sailor. My dad WAS a sailor, so I came by it naturally. I have tried to tame my mouth in recent years but still love to say the f-bomb occasionally. Sometimes it's the only appropriate word.




3. What is your favorite holiday and why?
I really like Christmas because my kids love it so much. The food, the sights, sounds, smells and traditions that go along with it are so comforting. Truth be told, I like any holiday that allows me to stay home from work.


4. What turns you on?
My husband backing our boat into the yard. Seriously, it takes a man's man to back a trailor the way he does and it gets me hot and bothered EVERY time!



5. If you could have lunch with any famous person, who would it be and what would you order?
Hands down, Jesus Christ. I wouldn't be able to eat, so I'd just get water or unsweet tea.

2. Where is the furthest place you have traveled to?
Probably the Far East. Japan and Korea. I've been to lots of places as my dad was career Navy.

3. If you could describe yourself in 4 words, what would they be.
Generous, impatient, satisfied, and witty

4. What is on thing about you that we don't know?
I was Miss 2nd runner-up in the Miss Flour Bluff pageant in 1987. I entered on a dare from 2 friends who had been in the pageant for a few years. Ugh. I hate myself right now.


5. If you could be a Superhero (like Gilly) - what would you be called or what would your powers be?
My power would be to make dirty water clean with a touch of my hands. Every human being on the planet deserves access to clean water and I would travel to every corner of the planet until it happened. I could be "Agua Momma". :)



6. Name one physical thing you love about you and one mental thing you love about you.
Well I think I have nice feet. My arches are high and my toes naturally point when I'm barefooted and sitting cross legged. I think they look long and lean.
Mentally, I'm pretty witty. Some people don't get me, but I do...and I'm friggin HILARIOUS!

7. If you stood in front of God what question would you ask him?
Did I do enough?

8. Besides yourself - who was/is your biggest enabler in your weight loss journey?
If I have to name someone, it would just be my family. Here, eating is comfort and love. I have to be a 3rd or 4th generation fatty. We have just always shown love with food. Maybe it started with the Pilgrims and the Indians.



9. What do you do for a living (another reader request question)?
I am a pediatric nurse who works in the Peri-Anesthesia realm. I have circulated in the Operating room, worked in the recovery room and currently do off-site anesthesia cases and sedation. I work with some super amazing and insanely smart people that keep me sharp.

10. This week's blog that resonated or spoke to me was BOOBS!
