9. Very Quick pop-in.

I'm being naughty now.

Question 1, I mean, when you get out of bed earlier than you normally do or would like to, why?

Question 7 actually comes from a song lyric, "Find an empty promise and stick by it." What I mean is, has anyone ever made a promise to someone you cared about, and didn't follow through, so you followed through for them. Like if someone's parents promised to take a kid to Great Adventure, and then couldn't, did you take the kid, or if someone promised to love someone forever, and then broke their heart, did you end up loving the person forever...anything along those lines.

I love your answer to 15!

:hi:

Gotta run now.

Need to get to the bathroom

2. Do you take off your shoes as soon as possible when you get home, or do you leave them on for a while?

I switch to flip flops or some clogs as soon as possible

3. How many cats is too many cats?

An actual number is impossible, because some people have the ability to care for quite a few, while others can't even handle one. I suppose when you get to the point where you're unable to take care of them would be the time to stop. I also suppose that anything over 10, unless you live in the countryside and they're mostly outdoor cats, is WAY too much.

I don't care for clowns too much, but I would probably say Red Skelton

Don't work outside the house anymore, but I'd say perhaps the stuffed cat on the top of the monitor, or the real cat watching me typing.

11. What's your favorite office supply?

Notepads and notebooks. I love them, and have a quirk that if I'm starting something new, I need to buy fresh ones. I get them at the $1 store, so they're not expensive.

12. Describe your ideal home.

Very big. Indoor swimming pool (pool house), hot tub, large master bedroom suite, spare bedrooms for guests, gigantic stone fireplace in a huge living room, decking around one side and back of house, skylights, brick oven in kitchen, home theatre with seating for 25 in basement with full stereo setup, largest HDTV available, and full DVD library, office and library, hardwood floors, except for kitchen with ceramic tile, huge mosaic inlay in foyer floor.
