The lie. Could it be that winter is your favourite Vermont season??

this is great! i’d forgotten you were treeotter!

I really hated Curves. It’s the most boring exercise routine I can think of, and I only saw ONE woman there ever get real results, and I think it was because she dieted rigorously. Not like the rest of us slugs. Seriously, all you do is go ’round and ’round on those exercise machines, and jog in between them. But I hate going anywhere to exercise; rather do it at home.

great answers. 🙂

so wonderful to read this. a little window into who you are. awesome.

February 21, 2005

Don’t you just love doing these every so often?

February 21, 2005

aha. I too dream of travelling — Italy would be fantastic, to see all of that art and history, not to mention those divine men, even if they cat call.

February 21, 2005

Good answers. I did this survey a while back. It was fun. You sound sooo happy and restful. i envy that totally

I’m honored! I should have mentioned reading as a hobby – except that I suppose I don’t see it as a hobby. Is breathing a hobby? I read, therefore I am. The reason I wanted to look at Curves is that their ads show older, larger women, and I really want to work on the machines.

February 22, 2005

Does the NotPat screen name mean that you don’t like being called Pat???

February 22, 2005

I guess that the “lie” is that winter is your favorite season. I BET IT’S NOT! 🙂 I agree with you on the career question. I also hope my kids will be happy(and I hope your son is). blessings and hugs, Weesprite

Great survey thing! I might have to steal with one, and do it myself when I have a moment or two.
