An interview with me!

We get these pointless emails where you have to answer 20 questions about yourself. I like reading other people's answers because it might inform me of something that I never had the courage to ask. Like, "oh, it says here that Holly is wearing white socks and jeans....see, I wondered what she wore while sitting at the computer. Mystery solved"! I'm going to make up my own list of questions...because I want the world to know such trivial things about myself. It's just all so terribly fascinating!


What diseases & disorders do you currently have:
Hyper & Hypo Thyroidism (depending on how often I remember to take my meds).
Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (can't walk from here to there without remembering why I'm walking there, I blurt out inappropriate comments at inappropriate times and other fun symptoms).
Anxiety (an unexpected visit from a family member will send me into a full blown attack, as will a lost sock)
Depression (I'd explain, but why bother? No one cares anyway)
Fibromyalsia (this is self diagnosed, mind you)
I don't know what you call this one, but I swear I get sick each and every time I travel. My husband thinks it's psychosomatic, but he's just trying out his big syllable words.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (my entire world could be crumbling around me and I wouldn't do one single thing about it, until I found my "to-do" list).


Do you dust and then vacuum or vacuum and then dust:
Wow (Leslie), that's an interesting question! Well, up until a few years ago, I always dusted then vacuumed, but I've learned that vacuuming just musters up more dust and so I've reversed my order. p.s. I also dust with baby wipes. How fancy am I, I. Ask. You?


What brand of laundry detergent do you use:
I was a loyal purchaser of Tide w/ bleach alternative, then I switched to Gain because it smelled better. Now, I just go around smelling my friends' clothes, ask them what they use and then switch to that. I just realized that what I just typed might be the most pathetic statement I've ever written.


If you could invent any gadget, what would it be:
A 'pause' button for the children. I could press pause, go grocery shopping, come back, put the groceries away, make myself a nice lunch, call a friend or two, give myself a manicure, read a book, take a nap, unpause the children. Voila!


If you could look like any celebrity, who would it be:
Victoria Beckham, hands down.

If your husband allowed you one night "off" from the marriage, who would you pursue:
Aaron Eckhart (pant, pant). Either that, or I'd opt for a night out with Chelsea Handler, Wanda Sykes and Kathy Griffin .


Would you mind sharing with us, your work out regime:
Oh sure. I mix up cardio & toning. For example one day I might run laps at the gym and then do some work on the yoga ball afterward. Maybe do some side planks, just for kicks. Then, the next day why, I could get all crazy and do an entire Legs, Gluts & Abs class. I'm silly that way. Truth be told, I enjoy the gym because it's only time I get to watch tv uninterrupted. I've been known to stay on the elliptical machine for and hour & a 1/2 while watching back to back Maury. I had to know who the baby daddy was.


OK, Leslie, our time is just about up. Let me leave you with this final question. Is there anything you would like your loyal readers to know?
Yes, if you're reading this and you aren't already listed as a 'follower to this blog', for GAD'S sake, register yourself!
(fake laughter).
...ok, Leslie, thanks again for your time.
Sure, Leslie. The pleasure was all mine.
