Questions to answer from Kari:
1. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Improper English usage, especially in written discourse. I'm a pretty big English nerd (I did get a degree in English Language). I am more lenient on second language speakers. I'm not saying I'm perfect- I'm actually far from it- but there are several things people do that just really irk me. Oh, also number 8 on my list of random facts above.
2. If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you bring?
My husband, gallons of sunblock/insect repellent, & Britta Filter with thousands of filter replacements.
3. Who's your favorite band?
Hmmm... this is tough. I haven't really discovered a band recently that I can say is my favorite since Incubus.
4. If you had six months left to live, what would you do with the time you had left?
Travel the world with all my family.
5. What is the biggest lesson you've learned in the past year?
That material possessions are not important. At all. What's more important is life and the people that are there by your side. This was a hard lesson learned from the flood we suffered from last week. (Read about what happened here).
6. If you could go back and redo anything, what would it be?
I would have started my travels at a way younger age.
7. What is your favorite book?
One Hundred Years of Solitude.
8. Did you have a childhood nickname? What was it?
Lele (pronounced 'laylay'). People still call me that. People also called me Winnie Cooper (from The Wonder Years) because I looked like her, with bangs and everything.
9. Ice cream or custard?
Ice cream, for sure.
10. Beach or mountains?
Beach, for sure.
11. Tell about a time you laughed so hard you almost peed your pants.
I've had so many times like that, but they're like "you had to be there" type of times. I know this is a total cop out, but I'm lazy right now, lol.
