a few questions from a fellow bloggy-friend!

Nichole, my aforementioned bloggy-friend has posted some questions for me to answer ... so here are my attempts at filling in the blanks.

thanks, N! :O)


Hey Karin... Hope this week is better for you!
1. Have you seen Ratatouille yet; if so did you like it?
yes! last week, monday i think ... loved it! great fantasy/unrealistic plot line (just the way i like the entertainment type movies!!) and adorable characters with wonderful photography. i rec'd it highly!!!

2. Where do you like to buy your clothes?
typically, gap, old navy, ann taylor loft, and talbots (how's that for all around?!) but i have several different fashion preferences, and of course work vs. play/mommy clothes. my favorite place to buy clothes though is the land of SALE! ;o)

3. What kind of music do you listen to?
i like all kinds of music with the exception to rap, and head-banging hurt my ears loud heavy metal. i love: blues, jazz, folk, classical, rock and roll, SOME country, and good old fashioned 70's/80's and some 90's. kind of all over the place, isn't it?

4. Do you have an emergency plan/survival kit?
well,yes, i do have one... in my car. kind of an emergency kit just for cars. as far as the house and family survival kit - embarassingly, no. sean and i have discussed what would happen in the event of an emergency with us, and how we would respond, but we need a kit. we do .... reminder well taken. :O)

5. What is the hardest thing about being a parent? (again -- looking for free advice.) ;-)
the hardest thing is allowing your heart to guide you while listening to your head (as opposed to the opposite). your life and your heart are not your own any longer, and you are fully and completely responsible for other lives and hearts. then, you nurture your kids to be independant, happy, and well-rounded people. then you have to let them go to do that. i guess, in a sense, the hardest part is "letting go". it happens on so many levels from the moment they enter the world, until, i imagine, they find their own paths.
however, with all of this said, it is by far my greatest accomplishment in my life. it is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

ever.
