1. Did you have a pen pal when you were little (or now)? Where were/are they from?

I seem to remember having a pen pal through school when I was very young...but it never came to much. But...I loved to write letters to my mom's family in Texas when I was young. Every time she would sit down to write them I would write them too, and when they wrote back there would always be a note for me inside mom's envelope. I think that was the beginning of my love of writing and interfacing with people. Now my writing outlet is my blog...and facebook.

2. If you could do a different job for one day, what would it be?

I would be a buyer/decorator. I love shopping for pretty things and finding just the right objects to place in a room. If money were no object it would be so much fun to start from scratch and create beautiful home decor for clients. (I am an HGTV addict...I watch all the decorating shows!)

3. Do you remember your biggest fear from when you were little?

My mom lost her right arm in a car accident before I was born, and I always had a fear that I could be in an accident and lose my arm. I am still nervous in cars, and have to pray a lot when I am on busy freeways. But God gives me peace as I give my fears to Him.

4. What do you think is a waste of time? Why?

Arguing with people is a complete waste of time. Nobody ever benefits from it. The Bible tells us to speak the truth in love. It also says a soft answer turns away wrath. If you don't add fuel (or wood) to the fire it goes out. So I think those are good things to remember! (:>)

5. What is the oldest item you have in your closet?

I think it would be a purple silk suit that I bought when I worked. It is several sizes too small, and I will never be able to wear it again..but it was so expensive, and I loved it so much, that I can't seem to let it go!
