1. Any nickname?  LaLa, but only a couple of family members are allowed to call me this.

2. Mother’s name: Norma

3. Favorite drink? Diet Dr. Pepper

5. Body piercing? Ears (double pierced)

6. How much do you love your job?  Eh, when I get some bills paid off, I’m shutting it down (I own my own business.)  It takes way too much time away from my family.

7. Birthplace? Liberty, Texas … which celebrated its 200th birthday a couple of decades before the United States did in 1976.  My mom attended the parade as a kid and remembers that John Wayne (“The Duke”) was the parade marshal.

9. Ever eaten cookies for dinner?  And ice cream, too!

10. Ever been on tv?  No

13. Drive a 2-door or a 4-door? 4-door Dodge Dakota Quad Cab

14. Favorite salad dressing? Thousand Island

15. Favorite pie?  Blackberry What was I thinking?  COCONUT!  (Followed closely by blackberry ….)

24. Favorite smell?  There are so many … I’m a real scent junkie.  I love simple fragrances like vanilla or lavender.  But I also love Ralph Lauren “Romance,” Bath & Body Works “Japanese Cherry Blossom,” “Brown Sugar & Fig,” and then a deliciously bohemian concoction that I made at the Bath Junkie … it’s a combination of sandalwood, sage, sweet grass, cedar, and nag champa and I smell like an absolute gypsy when I wear it … I just love it.

25. What do you do to relax? Read, watch a good movie, play on the internet.

26. How do you see yourself in 10 years?  My house will be paid for, my daughter will be graduating from college … I hope to be doing something constructive that is a blessing to my husband and my daughter … figuring out what my God-given role will be as I enter a new phase of my life.
