12.If you had to pick one place in your country to take a tourist where would you take them and why?
Yellowstone National Park - incredibly beautiful unspoiled wilderness with amazing animals, not to mention hotsprings, and waterfalls. The national park hotels are pretty awesome also (Close second, New York City, because it's such a vibrant place with incredible cultural opportunities).
13.your favourite flower is?
Purple iris
14. can you remember a favourite present, if you can ,what was it and what made it special.
My 40th birthday present from my husband. He threw a surprise party (which included a memorial service for my youth, with a tombstone, full sized coffin and appearance by Death) and had rented one of those giant inflatable boxing rings with the giant gloves to keep all the children amused. At one point in the party, they called me to a ring and a good friend got in the ring with me dressed in a mask and clothing of a particularly disliked political figure whom I got to "beat up" as my birthday present. The funniest present I've ever gotten.
15.Toffee popcorn or salted?
Toffee popcorn (I think we'd call it caramel corn, but what do we know we're Americans?
)
16.If you are a person who sticks to there morals, what would one of them be?
It is better to place a millstone about your neck and throw yourself into the ocean, than to hurt a child.
17.If you had a stuffed animal when you were a child what was it and do you still have it?
Not that I remember

lie in bed every day and twice on Sundays Favorite part of a relaxing vacation is turning over as many times as I wish before I get up.

Wow, no clue, but knowing me it was a book
20.As a bit of a laugh,if you could pick your family,who would you pick?

Child: Cheese fondue
Teenager: Pomelo
Adult: Braised short ribs
2. What chore do you hate doing the most?
Mowing the lawn for sure, which is why the grass in my back yard is about 2 feet tall right now.
3. What sound do you love?
The sounds of a really heavy thunderstorm.
4. If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
Auto repair.
5. What would you like to change about yourself this year?

7. If you could be a fictional character who would you choose?
Veronica Mars.
8. When you have free time, what do you do the most?
It used to be World of Warcraft, but I have finally kicked that addiction, so now I’d have to say sleep.
9. What's the hardest thing you have ever done?
Talking to my mother about my childhood. It was horrible to see her realize that I had been hurt and she hadn’t protected me.
10. Do you have any family traditions?
Childhood- My family is Jewish, and we would spend each Christmas skiing in Vermont. The slopes would get crowded after Christmas, but on Christmas day, they were gloriously empty.
Adult- My friends are my adult family. We created a new holiday called Friendsgiving, which is just like Thanksgiving, except it happens in the beginning of November and you don’t have to deal with your family and there is no stress.
11. When you travel away from home and then return, what is the one thing that you notice about your home when you walk back through the door?
Usually that the cats are pointedly ignoring me as payback for me leaving them alone.
12. If you had to pick one place in your country to take a tourist where would you take them and why?
Either Yellowstone, where the landscape is just so alien and animals are really cool, or the Assateague Island, because I love the beach and there are wild ponies there.
13. Your favourite flower is?
Orchids.
14. Can you remember a favourite present, if you can ,what was it and what made it special.
Before she died, my grandmother gave me her most treasured possession- the medal that her mother had earned at the Tsarina’s school in Kiev in the late 1800s for being the best student in her school.
15. Toffee popcorn or salted?
Really, it’s white cheddar popcorn for me. But I’d go with salted over toffee.
16. If you are a person who sticks to there morals, what would one of them be?
I don’t know if I’d call it a moral, but I try really hard to see the common humanity in everyone, and to not demonize others who have different viewpoint than I do.
17. If you had a stuffed animal when you were a child what was it and do you still have it?
I had a stuffed lamb called Lambie who I adored. When I was about 5 years old, I was asleep in the back seat of the car, and my little brother was holding her, and somehow she flew out the window. He was too scared to say anything, so by the time I woke up and realized she was missing, it was too late to try to find her. I knew it was a mistake, but it was really hard to forgive him.
18. Lie in bed or get up?
I love to sleep, but once I wake up for good, I’m out of the bed.
19. What was the first thing you bought with your own money?
The first big thing I remember was a trip to England with my high school drama club. I’ve always been a saver, so making the choice to spend the money was a big deal, but the trip ended up being amazing.
20. As a bit of a laugh, if you could pick your family, who would you pick?
My best friend’s family, no doubt about it. They already call me their daughter, and think of me as part of their family.

10.do you have any family traditions?
Not really.
11. when you travel away from home and then return.what is the one thing that you notice about your home when you walk back through the door?

Around the coastline near my home because it's scenic and wild and I would feel comfortable there.
13.your favourite flower is?

Salted.
16.If you are a person who sticks to there morals, what would one of them be?

No idea about when I was a child, but when I was a teen a boyfriend gave me a little stuffed rabbit which I still have.
18.lie in bed or get up?
Get up on weekdays, lie in bed with my son and listen to Storytime on the radio on Saturdays, lie in bed reading for at least an hour on rainy Sundays.
19.what was the first thing you bought with your own money?
No idea, but I do remember buying my first record when I was a teen.

Child - no idea; teenager - chocolate; adult - sushi.

17.If you had a stuffed animal when you were a child what was it and do you still have it? Kitty!! A stuffed white kitty that I've had since I was a toddler.

Only stopped sleeping with her when I got married, hehe. Yes, still have her.
18. Lie in bed or get up? Bed! (til the slacker vibes kick in!)

20. As a bit of a laugh,if you could pick your family,who would you pick? I'd still pick mine. Since I wasn't born to them, I feel so grateful to have been "given" to them, and they really are good people, dysfunction and all!
