Hair Product/Styling?

Nope, au natural! Wash and go, baby. If I do style, it is to add some curls, but that usually happens less than once a year. And no product. My hair holds the curl without spray and other products weigh my fine hair down, making it flat.


Which of your five senses would you LEAST want to lose? Why?
Definitely taste. Losing any of them would suck, but I could live without enjoying food. Sight, Hearing, Touch and Smell are more important...and if you lose smell, you lose most of taste anyway.

Which of your five senses would you LEAST want to lose? Why?

I would say sight would be the sense I would least want to loose. If given the choice I wouldnt mind loosing taste, heck might be good for diet - wouldnt know how good Cheetos taste! I would still like to see the pretty orange color of the cheetos though.



How are you Green?
Admittedly I am not very Green. Does watching Getting Fresh with Sarah Snow count? There are a few little things I do.
  • I do not subscribe to magazines and I reieve all my bills electronically.
  • On the same hand I pay all my bills electronically.
  • I dont water my grass so it doesnt need to be cut (that count??) =)
  • I dont use areosole cans for anything
  • I have an energy efficant thermostat which I utilize to conserve energy when I am not home.

How are you Green?

I selected this question in honor of October being Energy Awareness Month. We do try to be environmentally friendly. Having a kid really puts a face to the little people who will be inhabiting the Earth after we are gone. Right now here are some of the things we do:
  • Drive fuel efficient cars (30-35 miles per gallon) and our next vehicles will hopefully be a hybrid/green versions
  • Use cloth napkins and microfiber towels instead of paper
  • All our most use lights have energy efficient bulbs
  • Recycle some, but we should do more (we would be better if our city would start curb side recycling, right now they don't even have a good recycling center)
  • Buy organic whenever possible...tastes better, healthier and so much better for the environment
  • Use cloth grocery bags (Whole Foods sells them for ~$1 a piece and you get a $0.10 credit for each one you use every time you check out, so there is really no excuse for us)
  • I did buy cloth diapers, but when I ended up having to work instead of stay at home, I couldn't attempt the extra laundry...maybe for the next one
  • Use environmentally friendly cleaning products. I can't say enough good about Method products. They work great, smell good and are non-toxic, renewable and biodegradable. What more can I say?!
  • Try to use glass over plastic. I am hooked on these Pyrex glass storage containers. They work great, never warp, stain or trap odors. Not sure why I didn't switch a long time ago.
I am sure there are some more, but these are the little things we try to do every day to make our planet a little better for all.



What smell brings a lot of memories for you?
Shalimar by Guerlain. That is the only perfume my mom will ever wear and she wears it every day. Her pillow always has a lingering scent to it and I can smell a slight whisper on my daughter after she has spent the day with her grammy. I even have vivid memories of the vintage bottle she always had on her dresser...so 70s!

What smells brings alot of memories for you?

My mom has always worn Opium perfume since before I was a twinkle in her eye. Every time I smell it I instantly think of her. I love driving her car, it always has a faint hint of her lingering. It's probably my most favorite smell, but I would never wear it since I reserve that smell for my ma.



Sleep Commando or PJs?
Well, not so much PJ's, but most defiantly NOT commando. Typically its t-shirt and undies. I don't like to sleep with something around my legs, or on my feet!

Sleep Commando or PJs?

PJs...what if there were a fire?! I even like a sports bra. I read that it is supposed to help keep the girls perky, but when I tried it, I actually just liked the support and keeping them "in place." So sometime PJs are just bra and undies. But I am usually more comfortable in "something."

What are your feelings about porn?
I am fine with porn amongst consenting adults. I would only personally have a problem with it if used in place of me or behind my back.

What are your feelings about Porn?

Porn doesn't bother me. I don't mind if someone I am with enjoys various types of porn as long as its not something that interferes with out relationship or something that I am excluded from. I personally think its fun upon occasion to enjoy porn with someone I am with, I like changing things up and making things fun. Of course, if it comes to the NEED for porn, then I am not okay with it.


What makes you sad right now?
There are a few things that make me sad right now. One is not having my family close by where I can just drive over for dinner or get a hug when I need one. The second is the lack of someone special to share my life with and to be a part of their life. I try to not let either of these bother me, I do appreciate my family more because they aren't close and I know if I never find that special person just for me, that I will be okay because heck - I am a kewl chick and Amy Rulz (even if I become the cat lady)!

What makes you sad right now?

My life is very good. I am sad if I think about my daughter struggling or being teased. And although I love the season, fall also makes me sad, as it hails the start of winter. Don't get me wrong, winter is lovely until about New Years and then I am longing for warm spring showers.


First Crush?
I think the first that I can remember was Elliot from the movie ET. I was about 5. You can do the math. I, of course, loved ET as well.



ET was followed by Michael J. Fox, Kirk Cameron, Fred Savage, the two Coreys, etc.

First crush?

Ok.. I LOVED Fred Savage when I was like 12. Wonder Years was good to me. I remember Fred being on magazines like Teen Beat and Heart Throb.


Are you registered to vote?
Yes, I am. We were granted extra credit in Government class in high school if we were old enough to register and proved we did. Although, I must admit I am not as up on the current state of political views as I would like to be at this point in my life.

Are you registered to vote?

Yes, I have voted in every presidential election since I turned 18. I am not good at voting for local issues (school boards, millages, etc.), but I do vote in the elections for state government.


If you could have dinner with any 3 people in the world, who would you invite?
George Lucas for my husband, so he could grill him on Star Wars. Barack Obama so we could talk to him about his plan to turn America around (and because I want to be excited about him, but just need to hear more about his policy). And Bono, just because I think he would start some great conversation with Obama regarding his humanitarian efforts and when we get bored of that talk, we could listen to him sing some of our favorite U2 songs.
