1. A short-term (or long-term) goal I have... To help Tom buy an old truck this fall so he can find his passion again. For myself, to start exercising consistently.
2. If I won a million dollars in the lottery... Well, I would buy that old truck I just referenced, and Tom would have an awesome shop. I would share some $ with family members, and would put an addition on my house for Mom to live in. Would buy her a chauffer/personal assistant/maid. Would travel a lot with Tom and the boys. And most definately would have a masseuse come to my home a few times a week for the rest of my life.
3. A hidden talent I have (or talent I wish I had).... Like Dennis, I also hide my singing talent. I would love to record an album with my sisters if it meant that we would never have to perform in public for anyone. I sing all the time in my house, so If I could record an album in my bathroom that would be even better. A talent I wish I had is flower gardening... wish I had a green thumb like Mom and Mary.
4. If I could have any job in the world... In fantasy land, I would be a stay at home mom and while the boys are in school I would donate time to different charities and organizations. In real world, where there are bills to pay, I would work for myself (out of my home) doing something that taps into my creative, motivated side.
5. A hobby I have... Boy, pretty sad that I have to stop and think about this one. I like surfing the internet in my spare time, but no hobby I'm really passionate about. Used to be volleyball but my back is so horrible I can't play anymore. One of my favorite things to do is play board games with Tom and the boys (and Grandma Caldie).
6. A crime I once commited....Okay, so everyone else confessed something from their childhood because they could blame it on being young. I will confess an adult crime because I am brave. I am ALWAYS the first one to run back into the store to tell them they forgot to charge me something. I really believe what goes around comes around. So I'm waiting and waiting and waiting for the stuff to come back around!! Like WHEN is someone going to just give me something extra for nothing because I am so darned nice? Never happens. So, when I was at Walmart last week being checked out by a nimrod, I figured it was finally MY time. I spent 10,000 years in her line because she messed up my order soooo bad. She literally put my cough medicine ON and then OFF the receipt 4 TIMES! So, you know what, when I noticed she accidentally took my tampons off the order, I didn't say a THING. I figured it was my payment for sitting there through the entire torture with a pleasant smile on my face saying "it's okay" in response to her apologies. And on top of that, they are TAMPONS... I should get some type of reward 1 little day in my life for having to wear them 1,543,644 OTHER days of my life.
7. Something I've always wondered about.... Why do dog's feet smell like Fritos? Or should I say what goes into Fritos that makes them smell like dog's feet?
8. I wish (or pray).... For Mom, for her to continue to have as much freedom as possible so she can be the wonderful goofball that she is. For my boys to find something in life they are passionate about (and I don't mean Legos or Star Wars).
9. A compliment for someone in the family... Mary - I admire your professional accomplishments and your marriage. I like how you each do your own things (Roger has all his toys, you have your clothes... haha). You seem so comfortable with each other and I sense a lot of mutual respect in your relationship. And you are so helpful with Mom.... thank you.
10. Miscellaneous (you choose the topic)... The best things in life aren't things. I always say, when you die, people will not stand at your funeral and say "she was such a good house cleaner.... his lawn was so perfect... he was so great at golf... his house was so big...she was so thin". What they will say (and cherish) is what a good parent you were, what a good sense of humor you had, what a good person you were. They will remember what you gave them EMOTIONALLY long before they recall the PHYSICAL possessions you gave them.

Ditto on the massage thing. Ditto on the gardening wish.
Don't answer your door (it's the cops; I called them on you). Damned tampon thief! It's people like you that give legitimate thiefs a bad name! Good job.
Love that last one; well-said.
Dang! Married less than a year and already lost his passion? (Sorry to hear that....)
Wow! I did not know dogs feet smell like fritos. And I have had my share of dogs. Everyone who comes to your house now is going to ask if we can smell your dogs feet too see if they really do smell like fritos or if you had too many fritos after taking your medication:)LOL
