Who was the naughtiest kid in your elementary school, and what did he do?

A boy names Brian who made me eat a live spider on a cracker.

What's the quality that you least like about yourself?

It takes a lot to impress me.

If you could trade places with anyone, living or dead, for a day, who would it be?

Cleopatra.

My life would be simpler if...

There was less traffic.

What's your favorite possession?

An Art Deco lamp that I bought at an antique sale. I was totally broke at the time, but I knew that I would love it forever.

Guiltiest pleasure?

Having my hair blown out every week.

High road or low road?

Depends on who's watching. I'd like to say high road so that I set a good example for my son, but sometimes the low road is pretty tempting.

What surprises you most about your adult life?

How easy it is to be happy.

The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is...

Whether to get pregnant again. Is our little family of three OK as is?
