Know Me Better

I am a Reader, Not a Writer is a blog I've been following. The blogger's new initiative is to pick five questions off of her author interview list to answer. She invited her readers to share their answers to these questions, as well. One of the ways to do this is through our own blogs. So I'm going to do it right here.

This Week's Questions:

*Pet Peeves?
*Give us a glimpse into a typical day in your day starting when you wake up till you lie down again.
*Pizza or Pasta?
*Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....
*Favorite sport?

Pet Peeves?
Lately, I can’t stand when people use grammar improperly, and they’re not even a young child. The worst is inserting “you know” in the middle of a sentence. If I knew, then you wouldn’t have to...you know...tell me! Then there’s the changing of the way a word sounds or is spelled to sound cute. What is a “kitteh?” Last I checked, it was a kitten or kitty.

I also can’t stand people who honk their horns at someone for no reason. I’ll turn when it’s safe, not on your freaking watch!

Finally, how everything is about Christmas during the holiday season. As much as I love “Glee,” there are quite a few Jewish characters on the show and not one Hanukkah song in two years of having the Christmas episodes. I also have yet to see any Hanukkah commercials.

Oh, there are more, but I’m being nice!

Give us a glimpse into a typical day in your day starting when you wake up till you lie down again.

I get up at 5:50 am to exercise. Then I get the boys up so they can at least start thinking about being awake. I take my shower and get ready. Then I get the baby up and ready if she isn’t up by that time. My husband takes her to day care and I make sure the boys have breakfast while I’m preparing their lunches. The bus comes for my older son and then I take my younger son to school. I get to work by 9:00, which is when I start anyway.

I work, eat lunch while reading, work more, and then go home. On the way, I pick up my younger son from school and then my older son from wherever he is being watched that day. My husband picks up the baby and meets us at home. We have dinner and then the kids get ready for bed. Sometimes this involves a bath or shower first. We read to them and they go to bed (if they’re cooperating that night). Then we watch whichever of our shows is on and get some other stuff done, whether it is housework, blogging, etc. We go to bed pretty late after that.

Pizza or Pasta?
This is like asking me to choose a favorite out of all three of my children. There’s no way that is happening. I exist on both pizza and pasta equally!

Finish the sentence- one book I wish I had written is....“She’s Come Undone” by Wally Lamb. This is why.

Favorite sport?
Bowling, of course! What else?!? I wrote this post about bowling exactly one year ago. :)
