6. At night, after the workouts.
7. Nope. I carry them around with me, but in truth they all expired in August of 2003.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because we get to see family and eat great food and cooler weather is around…such a wonderful holiday.

As long as they aren’t dirty they go back into the closet… probably 3 times before I slop something on them.
3. What’s your favorite holiday and why?
All of them due to the food assocated with them…Halloween, hello, candy! Christmas – baking, need I say more? Easter…chocolate. You get the idea.
4. Do you hide certain foods that YOU like from you kids so that they don’t get any?
Maybe. I am not divulging this secret, who knows who is reading this. Kamden will go to great lengths to find the stash.

I don’t think any, I would be way too intimidated by anyone famous and would make a fool of myself stuttering, that is if I could think of anything remotely intelligent to say.
6. Do you shower at night or in the morning?
Morning. A shower to me is like coffee to most other people. I cannot wake up until I am April fresh.
7. Do you clip coupons?
Not often and when I do, I never actually remember to use them.

Give me a C, give me an O, give me an F, another F and a couple of EE’s. Mmmm.
9. Have you ever had to break into your own house like me?
Not yet. Give me time. I am positive this will happen in the near future.
10. Do you untie your shoes before you take them off?
Yes, the only ones I have that tie are my running shoes and I paid big bucks for the suckers, gotta take care of them.
