Since I couldn’t come up with a topic after staring at this blank screen for a minute or two, I am going to steal the questions that NPW rrequested that people ask her a few weeks ago.
If money and time were no object, which country/city/place would you want to visit this summer? and why?
Italy. H and I have always wanted to go there together. I have been to Rome and didn’t really like it. I think I would like other parts of Italy better and want to try it.
What brand of toothpaste do you use?
Whatever is on sale. I think I may switch to some more eco-friendly/hippie-type toothpaste though. I try to use non-toxic/granola products on B, so I’ve been thinking lately that if I think that stuff is good for B, why don’t I care about using all those manmade chemicals on myself? I think I may also switch to Burt’s Bees shampoo and conditioner for myself. We’ll see how that goes.
Have you ever worn days of the week underwear?
No, not even when I was younger.
When you go to an aquarium, what do you think the fish are thinking?
Aaaa! Quit being so noisy out there!
How did you decide to become a librarian lawyer?
I did an internship in the field in which I was majoring in college, and the job was SO EASY. I was more interested in the complicated legal stuff related to the job, so I decided to go to law school. And now I practice in an area totally different than what I was originally interested in.
Any chance you’ll move to Denver?
Maybe. It’s one of the places H and I agree that if one of us found the perfect job there we would consider moving. Not that either of us are looking for jobs, but you never know.
What are you most and least favorite things about New England Minnesota?
I like that people are really active in the summer. There are tons of bike trails/walking paths around my house, and people are always running and biking.
I don’t like the windchills in the winter.
I like that people are friendly.
I don’t like that people are too nice to be direct a lot of the time.
Thanks for the questions, people who read NPW!
I’ve heard that Burt’s Bees Pomegranate shampoo is teh shit and that if you aren’t ready to spend the money don’t buy it because you’ll love it and end up not being able to give it up and perhaps have to skimp on things like your child’s college education. Could be a rumor…
Wow, you answered more of the questions than I have so far! I better get on that. From your answers, Minnesota sounds suspiciously like New England, minus the friendly people.
People are super friendly in MN. When we were visiting last month, it kind of freaked us out. Which says a lot about us I guess. We’re more comfortable when people are standoffish.
OK, now I need to know what field you WERE majoring in, where the job was too easy!
And did you know that Minneapolis was named one of the top biking cities in the WORLD? I think we came in like second or third in the US. This would be more interesting trivia if I actually remembered the details. Sorry ’bout that.
What a good post idea! I may have to do it myself!
I agree about the too nice to be direct thing about the Midwest. I suffer from it too.
I think I might have to steal this from you. Lovely answers, my friend. Also, I’m with Stef: what was your original career field choice?
Also, I’m digging the haircut (in previous post)! Did you get color as well? It looks lighter to me.
