1. What one day of your life do you think was your best day?

Except for the agony of childbirth (17 hours hard labor with no drugs. Don't ask. Allergic reaction to pain meds during labor and a knotted umbilical cord doth not a happy birth make) But since you asked, "My doctor looked at me immediately after the ordeal from hell and said, "Don't ever try to do that again."
I'm stubborn. Did I try again? Yes.
Three times.

My son is a miraculous blessing but wasn't an only child by design.
There were 3 others (2 of them baby girls) who didn't make it.
I don't think I've ever shared that on this blog before. I'll write that story one day.

2. What one day of your life do you think was your worst day?

There are days and then there are days that stretch on into events. These come to mind: the deaths of my grandparents, my babies, emotional loss of two relationships and my son's illness would certainly top the list
Can we go on to a cheerier question now? I knew I should have pencil-skirted this meme.....

3. If you had to pick the best year of your life, when was it and why?

Can I pick a decade, Sam? How about this one. I like this one.
Because life is finally good.
In a pencil skirt kinda way.

4. If you had to pick the worst year of your life, when was it and why?

1996
The whys will make me cry.
Next question.

5. Most recently, what night did you do something that you loved?

On a recent snowy night, I went outside at midnight with my camera and walked (OK. Fell!) around. But it was truly magical. Almost a sacred feeling of blanketed warmth in the midst of winter. I loved it.

But this time I didn't sit down in my pencil skirt.
It was a tad cold.

6. Most recently, what night did you do something that you hated?

Last night I did laundry. I washed the peace globes. They were getting dusty.

7. Tell us about your best relationship that did not work out.

I tried for 2 questions to pencil skirt. We're back to the serious stuff eh? The answer is recorded in the archives of this blog. When it was good it was very good.
Why was it the best?
He made me laugh.
But a trip down memory lane is not on my agenda today.
I'll pass.

8. Tell us about your worst romantic relationship that you’ve had.

"Romantic relationships"....how to define. OK. I'll go with none.
They all taught me something.

9. Is there a celebrity that you’d love to spend a “no hold bars” night with?

Homer The Palace Dog.

We'd party like it's 2009 and order an anchovy-less pizza. Then I'd invite all my worst relationship nightmares (the what-ifs, almosts, and never-in-a-million-years group) to the party for one more silly fling. I'd hire a seance gypsy to induce a group intervention. Their real selves would "appear" from the great beyond in Evolved Fast-Forward Form with the wisdom that comes with hindsight and answer any question I had for them.
You're all invited!
It should be fun.

Or not.
What the heck is under that table?
