Cool one, Kerry!
1. Live: Boca Raton, Florida
2. Brief Profile: Born in western New York state. Got a BA at college and lived and worked in Ohio for six years. Met my husband of 17 years there and moved to Florida in 1993. We have a five-year-old son.
3. Am obsessed with: This board, this movie, everyone in it, and everyone here (in a good way - don't worry!)
4. Can’t live without: My family. Everything else can be replaced.
5. Am petrified of: Out-living my son, the first big hill on roller coasters (then love the rest), Palmetto bugs (giant cockroaches with wings)
6. Am proud of: My son, my house, my job, calling all of you my friends, and my dainty and pretty feet
7. Really need to: Lose this last 10 pounds, get more sleep, stop drinking on the weekends so much
8. Don’t get why: George W. Bush ever won a second term. I still haven't forgiven my fellow countrymen and women for that one and perhaps never will.
9. Think alternative medicine is: Viable sometimes, but not always.
10. Relax by: Meditating, listening to my favorite music, floating on my back in my pool and looking at the sky
11. Fantasize about: Having homes in Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco and London (i.e., winning the lottery)
12. Fridge usually contains: Skim milk, purified water by the gallon, Gatorade, leftovers of some kind, condiments, salad dressings, margarine, cheese, Jell-O (for Will)
13. Teenage years were: Really wonderful, all-in-all. I wasn't terribly popular, but I didn't care. I lived in a beautiful place, had a boyfriend I was in love with to do stuff on the weekends with, and got along with my parents.
14. Family is: My son and husband, first and foremost. My Mom died in 1992. Dad and stepmother are in North Carolina. One brother is in western New York and the other is in Ohio. My husband's family are all in Georgia. His Mom died in 2004. He has a brother and a sister.
15. Favourite thing is: My son's laughter.
16. Friends don’t understand why: I get so worked up about politics. Well, some friends don't. The best ones are the same way and totally understand.
17. Attitude to exercise is: It's a necessary evil. I like to take walks and go swimming, but I hate working up a sweat. I've always been a profoundly lazy person at heart.
18. Relationship with my body is: Love/Hate
19. Believer or atheist or agnostic or: Proud atheist since 1992
20. Left or right or on the fence: Extreme far left - I'm basically a Socialist.
