1. August is National Golf month…do you play? Do you enjoy following golf? Have you ever been to a professional tournament? 

Never been much of a fan. My husband got into it a little bit two years ago; picked up some used clubs and went with friends, but he really hated it. lol. So no, we are not followers, players, nor have we – or will we – attend a pro tournament. I’m pretty good at patronizing someone by doing the golf clap though!

2. Astronaut Jim Lovell of Apollo 13 fame passed away this past Thursday. Are you interested in outer space and what’s happening today in terms of space exploration? If space travel became common in your lifetime would you go? How do you personally relate to the idea of exploring something vast and mysterious…does the idea excite you, intimidate you, or something else? 

Nope. Space scares me, always has. I highly doubt I’d leave earth for anyone else. I am intimidated by how small we are in the universe.

3. Describe your communication style in three words. 
Hmm, that’s an interesting question and I can’t do just 3 words, as I can be rather verbose. I think I am clear when I talk but sometimes the message gets lost. I tend to also keep things to myself so in terms of initiating, I am pretty bad.

4. Do you have a favorite cookbook? A favorite celebrity chef? Do you watch any cooking shows on TV? 

No, no, and no!

5. As a child did you have any back to school traditions? If so, did you carry on those same traditions with your own children? Do you have any back to school traditions you’ve started on your own? 

Hmm, I can’t remember any, actually. The only one we have for our kids is the obligatory first and last day photos. It gets harder each year though. On Monday, I took the pics of the two (Elliot is done) in the afternoon, not the morning. There just wasn’t time!

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Sorry my answers are kind of boring; I’m a mess lately. I am keeping up with work pretty well but I am also so overwhelmed by it all that I cannot think straight! I try to mentally recover at night but I still haven’t really gotten into the true habit of this schedule just yet. I left right at 3:30 yesterday (which IS nice and I am not complaining) but I had to swing by the summer camp to get Dakota’s Stanley she left back on the last day, then I had to get a loaf of bread, then I got home to pop the lasagna in the oven. We had to run to Total Wine for the stuff for Thursday’s meeting, then I was just done. Tired and whatnot. I am sure I will find my stride here at some point but for now, it’s a lot! We have a faculty meeting today and I am just hoping it isn’t long. I also have dismissal duty and have almost zero idea what is expected. So that’ll be fun! Sigh.
