- I COULDN'T BE STUCK ON A DESERT ISLAND WITHOUT:
My knitting/yarns. It'd be the perfect spot to perfect walking and knitting.

Failure, if we're being real. Ceiling fans falling on me while they're spinning, if we're being slightly irrational.
- MY 'HAPPY PLACE'
Outside. On a mountain side. Looking at the ocean.
- FAVORITE WHEELS:
My Subarus. They've never let me down. I can't seem to own anything else.
- MOST IMPORTANT LESSON I'VE LEARNED:
Don't put both milk and lemon in your tea.
- I'M MOST PROUD OF:
All the very random skills I've mastered. If there's an apocalypse, you want me on your team. Just sayin'.
- SOMETHING I SAY ALL THE TIME:
'Cool your jets.''
- I'M TERRIBLE AT:
Saying no.

There are only three things I won't eat.
