What She Shovels

Amy interviewed me:
1)  What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
I’ve had to think harder about this one than I should, but I think I’ll give 2: a Starbucks drink (grande decaf peppermint mocha or a venti iced decaf caramel latte) or a new project to work on (plants for the house, yarn for a project, new fabric, etc).

2)  Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
This one changes a lot. I like to see us still in the same house in the same town, with fewer house project pending. I’d like to be working in a soils job somewhere local, but be able to work an earlier shift to be home when the kids come home from school. Then again, I’ve considered going to nursing school or law school or pursuing more education in a whole slew of things, so maybe I’ll just be a perpetual student.

3)  If you found a $10 bill in your purse, what would you do with it?
Probably nothing special, just remember it the next time I needed cash. But maybe I should change my thinking!

4) What is one thing you want to be sure your children know before they leave your home?
I want them to be self-sufficient, responsible people. I want them to know how to cook, clean, take care of themselves, prioritize and take responsibility for their actions and realize and understand how their actions affect other people. That’s probably more than one thing, though.

5)  If you could meet one person – who’s alive today – who would it be and why?
Ina Garten AKA Cooking Amy I really respect her self-taught culinary skills, her self-made business, and her recipes rock! I’d love to know if she’s really fun and nice in person or if it’s all a show. On the other hand, maybe not knowing for sure is better.

For those of you who might want to be interviewed, here are the directions:

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
