Did you have to help out with chores when you were growing up?  If so, what were you assigned to do?

Sure did. All of us kids were expected to help with chores. Mine were usually indoor jobs like vacuuming or dusting. I wasn’t a fan.

Have you ever researched your family tree?   What do you know about your family’s roots? 

Girl, even if I had researched my family tree I’m betting the info would have leaked right back out of my brain like a sieve. Honestly, if my head weren’t attached…I’ve been told my whole life that I’m Italian with family from the Sicily region, but this isn’t as ironclad as it once seemed.

What’s your cure for hiccups?

I’ll mess around with holding my breath but when the going gets tough, the tough (me! I’m the tough!) always drink water upside down from a glass. Works every time.

What makes you roll your eyes every time you hear it?  Either figuratively or literally?

Lawd almighty, where to start.

Any of this from my kid: I’ll do it in a minute. You never told me that. It’s clean…enough. But I took a shower last night!

Any of this from a coworker: I’m not sure who took the last doughnut. There was toilet paper when I was in there. No, I didn’t change the thermostat. Did you hear about Mike and Molly?

Share a gratitude or positive moment or experience from 2019 so far.

We came back from our trip and there was so much work to do. SO MUCH WORK. But I’ve never seen a clearer example of many hands make light work – when all four of us tackled a room things got handled. It was a good feeling.
