1. What book are you currently reading? (from dawn)
-- We Were the Mulvaney's by Joyce Carol Oates. It is about the disintegration of a family, after a tragic event.
2. Have you ever experienced the loss of a pet? How did you deal with it? Would you get a new pet, and why? (from peanutbutterfly)
I suffered through the loss of a cocker spaniel named Corky and a cat named Sparkle, when I was 17. I missed talking to them after school. My parents never got anymore pets. I also lost a mystery mutt, named Honey, about a year ago, after she developed liver problems. We did get a new pet, about 6 weeks, later, since the house was just too quiet, without a dog! Her name is Jasmine, and we adopted her from the local shelter.

3. Is anyone in your family in the armed services? (from teresa)
No one in my family is in the armed services, but one of my co-workers has a hubby who will be going to Iraq soon. He is in training right now.
4. If you have or have had a girlfriend/boyfriend, did you tell your parents about her/him without them prying for the information? (from shady88)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I told them, before they pried. I was usually too excited to keep it a secret.
5. What was your favorite childhood pet and tell me a few things about it. (from beth)
Corky was a purebred cocker spaniel, although, he wasn't always groomed like a show dog. He was the nicest dog, although he did favor my dad. I loved watching him do zoomies around the yard!
6. Have you ever been in love? (from seren)
Yes, most definitely! Although, what I thought was love, in college, is different from the long-enduring love I have with my hubby. We share a long history together and I think that is what makes the difference. I can't imagine that I would still be married to college-guy, if we had actually gone through with the wedding! DH and I have been married almost 18 years!
7. What's your favorite activity? (from robyn)Reading books and surfing the net! For things to do with a friend, it would be just hanging out with my best friend, watching movies together, or playing games!
