1. What does blogging do for you?
Originally I'd hoped it would help me be more disciplined about writing every day, but apparently that's not the way my universe works. But it does give me a place to muse idly, to vent, to talk to other grownups, to post pictures of my amazing son and other cool stuff I see around. I've made some new friends in the process, too, which is a bonus.
2. Do you have any tattoos? If so, what does it represent? If not, would you ever get one and what would it be?
Oh, hell no. I've never seen anything that I would want permanently inked on my body.
3. Do you have anything that you regret not doing when you were younger?
I wish I'd gone to college, and I wish I had been smarter -- hell, smart in any way at all -- about preparing for my future. I think I sort of tralala-ed my way through my 20s and when I got to my 30s and my world turned upside down, I was ill-prepared to build another one. In many ways I'm still recovering from that, or at least from the poor decisions that brought me to that.
4. Money being no object, where would you go for your ideal vacation?
A very small tropical island, where there was no one but me and my guest(s) and a small staff. Nothing would be more relaxing than being able to swim and sit in the sun all day, then enjoy dinner prepared by someone else while I drank a margarita on the porch overlooking the water.
5. What's your biggest pet peeve?
Willful stupidity, closely followed by mean-spiritedness. The two are often linked, I've found.
