So, like 7 minutes after I emailed my cousin to suggest we interview each other for our blogs because WAH WAH WAH I'm not blog-popular enough to get interviewed by anyone else WAH WAH, I got an email from Jen with some interview questions. So, here they are, with my answers.
1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? (Your present location is ineligible.)
Nowhere specific, but I'd really like to live somewhere with 4 distinct seasons, with my extended family living exactly 45 minutes away.
2. If you could vacation anywhere in the world, where would that be? And yes, I realize that is nearly the same question as the first question, but for me, I think the answers would be different. If your answers are different, why? And if they aren't different, feel free to say"duh, Jen."
My answers are different. Because it's not really a vacation if you live there all the time, right? I'd like to see Australia, and New Zealand, and Hawaii, and Africa, but first I'd really like to travel the US via luxury RV, stopping anywhere I felt like it to see how gorgeous and interesting this country is. Wanna come?
3. I have it on good authority that you recently met up with some bloggers in real life. Am I as awesome in person as I appear online? No, I'm joking, don't answer that. What was the biggest surprise between their online personalities and their real life ones?
Well, yes, you are as awesome. This might seem strange, but the biggest surprise was the way yours, Barb's, and Farah's voices sound when you talk. As I read your words and look at your pictures, I imagine your voices reading them. Barb's wasn't that off how I imagined it, but yours and Farah's were TOTALLY different than I expected. Yours was lower and Farah's was higher than my imaginary voices for you.
4. What is the biggest difference between Henry as a baby and Maria as a baby?
Well, they are very similar in their looks and in their basic temperament. I think there was a difference in me as a mother, for sure - I was only barely confident with what I was doing with Henry, and much more sure of things for Maria. Of course I've forgotten a LOT of Henry's babyhood, not being good about writing things down (no blog back then!). And Henry had been in daycare for nearly 3 months by the time he was Maria's age. I don't know - does that answer things? OH- here's something specific - I started cereal with Henry at about 3 months, and I seem to remember him opening his mouth right away and eating it with no trouble. Maria still puts up a fight and has trouble eating it, which is frustrating.
5. If you had to choose, would you rather be an astronaut or a deep sea diver?
Well, both of those things would require me to be in confined spaces for extended periods; and as a claustrophobic person neither option sounds terribly appealing. But in terms of what I'd want to see more of and explore, I guess I'd rather go into space.
Good questions, Jen! If anyone wants to interview me some more, or be interviewed BY me, leave a comment and we'll get right on that!

Yeah, I was much behind on my emails. There will be like five other interviews done by me popping up around soon too.
Yes, I have a surprisingly lower voice than you'd expect from me. :) (At least from what I'd expect to come out of me.) You should hear me sing! (Actually, no, you shouldn't. My own parents make fun of my singing.) Perhaps I'll figure out how to put video up on my blog someday.
Great Questions! #3 was interesting to read!
So - thanks for leaving a comment to remind me to come check out your interesting blog. hehe. I am quite scatterbrained you know.
Farah's voice was higher than I thought too. And she spent so much time talking about how she was a "big girl" on her blog, but when I saw her, I kept thinking how petite she was! As for you, I think I was surprised by how sharp your wit was. Though to be honest I shouldn't have been from reading your blog.
And the Princess Bride comments. LOVE EM! I like..
"He wasn't saying "True Love," he was saying "To Blaaaaaaave."
And
"Liar! Liaaaaaaaaaar! I'm not a witch I'm your wife!"
And
"Stop rhyming right now I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?"
Ooh, I want to travel the country in a luxury RV! (I especially like the "luxury RV" part) But maybe not with (2) 1-year olds and on on the way! :)
