....From my buddy, Lisa, at Just Lisa, No Filler. She's been given the chance to ask me any five questions and then I'll return the favor to any readers of my blog who want to be grilled by muah.

Thanks for agreeing to be interviewed! Here are your questions:

1. When did you start blogging? What caused you to start?

I started blogging a little over a year ago after a significant job change. I felt so much relief and renewal of myself as a whole that I decided to start putting my thoughts down on the web. Plus, it was a great way for me to stay in touch with my old work buddies. Blogging can be such a personal release even if it's at the expense of yourself, friends, and family (just jokin' - but I will throw myself down on occasion).

2. I am a fan of your photography. Any plans in the works of making a coffee table book filled with pictures from Humboldt County?

Hehe...Nope, Kym should think seriously about this, though. My pictures will end up in family calendars 'cuz I just can't imagine the general public wanting a calendar with shots like this:

or like this:

3. Think back (maybe WAY back) to when you had a free Saturday with no plans. How did you spend the day?

Geez, this is gonna be hard. I think if that day ever did exist, it was probably a summer Saturday. More than likely, I spent it outside chasing half naked children around in the sprinkler and watching them slip-n-slide on our Redneck water slide (large tarp at the base of the swingset - cheap and effective).

4. What do you worry about most these days?

Honestly? This economy nonsense stresses me out to no end. I'm extremely thankful for the jobs Hubby and I both have but sometimes even that doesn't seem like enough for our quickly diminishing budget. I've been buying Shasta cola if that tells you anything! ;-)

5. Tell us the truth: exactly how many marijuana plants do you have growing on your property? Don’t lie-- we all know what REALLY goes on in Humboldt!

Ha! Ah yes, the Emerald Triangle. I would have to say that's a big ZERO. I won't get too much into my own beliefs but I will say for my family, this particular little green weed fits nowhere into our lifestyle. To each their own.

Now...I would love to interview you and you and you. So here is what you do:

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

So come on--let's get to know each other better. And do not fear potential questions--I promise to play very nice. Good times!
