What is your favorite scent or smell and why?
Submitted by Nebraska Plates.
Lilacs...remind me of my grandmother's house. Yes, it's the cheesiest answer ever.
What are your deal breakers in a relationship?
Someone who won't eat their fruits and vegetables.
Sounds silly, I know. But I can't stand watching people neglect that basic nutritional need and abuse their bodies. I guess it's similar to people who won't date smokers.
What was your favorite TV season finale this year?
Submitted by Kristine.
The Office - by far. But that's really unfair of me because The Office is really show I've seen the finale of. I'm hoping the Sopranos doesn't dissappoint.

Who taught you how to ride a bike?
My dad!
Actually, that was one of those really great father-daughter bonding moments that I remember. I actually remember at one point riding and then realizing that he was not holding on to the back of the bike. I was really excited and for some reason I thought I'd been flying solo for only a few seconds, but when I got back to him he told me that I had been actually going solo for a few minutes.
How, this question brings up a lot of thoughts for me. My dad died when I was 21, so I only really knew him as child/young YOUNG adult. (Funny, I now look at 21 as really still being a teenager.)
I grew up the last of 7 kids, my 6 siblings being spaced closely together and I came almost 11 years after the last one. By the time I was 4, my father had retired from the military and was actually home more. This gave him a lot of time to spend with me, probably more than he could have spent with my other sisters and brothers.
I think he enjoyed being able to teach me stuff first hand like this and even though the bike lessons were a screaming success, the car lessons not so much. I wished that I had taken advantage more or what he tried to teach me, and I really hope he was proud enough of what I did learn from him. I hope after 7 kids, you can understand the follie of youth and know that young peeps don't always appreciate what they got.
I really hope.
What was the highlight of this past weekend?
My husband came with me to a breakfast fundraiser at my church. This meant that, he of course, attended one of the few masses he does a year.
My good church buddy Toni sees him and says, 'Lawrence? Is it Christmas already?'
me laughs.
But beyond that the weather was PERFECT and the food was amazing. I also took LR around Hart House to show him the library where I used to study. Then I got all soppy and realized how much I miss my university years. I then proclaimed that I should come back and do my masters part time.
