IN HER WORDS
Q: What was your first job growing up?
A: I started working at Chuck E. Cheese when I was in high school. I had to wear the rat costume once for a children’s party, it was a horrifying experience and I’m still scarred.
Q: What was the last book you read? Thoughts on it?
A: I last read “Becoming a Supple Leopard” by Dr. Kelly Starrett and “Make Your Bed” by Admiral William H. McRaven. My co-worker that is much smarter than me recommended them both and they were very enlightening. Currently I am not a supple leopard nor did I leave myself enough time to make my bed this morning, so apparently reading about it is not enough.
Q: What’s the best advice you ever received and who did it come from?
A: By far my mother. She always told me that everyone is like a well, you only have so much water to give unless it’s replenished. The give and take doesn’t need to be equal, but if you’re well dries up you have nothing left to give. So be wary of people that use you and leave your well empty.
Q: What’s your favorite season/type of weather? Why?
A: That’s a mixed bag. My favorite season is fall, nothing beats the start of football season. My favorite weather is definitely summer, I hate cold and gloomy weather. Actually, I have no idea why I moved here, I may need to re-evaluate my life choices.
Q: Do you listen to podcasts? If so, what are your favorites?
A: The Pat McAfee Show and Bill Bert Podcast. They could be the funniest dudes alive.
Q: You can only eat one thing the rest of your life, what is it?
A: Definitely Nachos, they’re delicious and have something from each food group.
Q: Cats or dogs?
A: I love dogs, but I’m just not home enough for it to be right to own one. Currently I have two cats. Apparently, I prefer to be ignored and have someone stare me directly in the eyes while they push things off of tables. It’s a good time.
Q: Is a hot dog a sandwich?
A: Absolutely not, if it were a sandwich people would call it a sandwich, or a hot dog sandwich. Just because something is jammed between two pieces of some kind of bread doesn’t make it a sandwich. If you wedged yourself between two pieces of bread no one would call you a sandwich, they’d call you clinically insane.
Q: What’s the last TV show you binged watched?
A: Quarantine led me down a binge watching rabbit hole. I was late to the party, but I watched Sons of Anarchy. I’m now a member of a motorcycle gang and own a Harley. That’s how rumors start, so I’ll clarify that I don’t in fact belong to a gang or own a bike, but it was totally worth the watch. Wild, wild stuff.
Q: Retirement destination?
A: My guess is I’ll never be able to afford to retire, so my destination will probably be six feet under.
