Just for Fun...An Interview with Jill

Here is your chance to read a personal interview with none other than ME of course! Thanks Mae for the questions and enjoy!

1. Who was your favorite literary character when you were a kid? Why?
I have so many literary characters I love in general being an elementary teacher. There are a few from my childhood that I particularly remember. One of the characters I remember most from a very young age was Eric Carle's, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I used to LOVE to look at his illustrations. I loved the pages where it shows everything he ate. I of course loved the last page as well where he turns into a beautiful butterfly. It is just one of those books I remember from a very young age. I also loved and read all of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. The differences between her life and ours always facinated me. I also loved the fact that she was a real person.

2. What is your favorite food?
All food! It is true, I rarely meet a food I don't like. I love eating (I usually joke that this is the reason I run). I love cooking. Food is a passion of mine. I love making meals for people and watching them enjoy it. I also enjoy eating out! Joe and I often joke that eating out is our hobby because it is just about the main thing we spend our recreational money on. I have so many favorites. If I had to pick an ethnic category I would have to say Italian. In general I love good home food such as potato soup and macaroni and cheese. I can also go for a yummy curry dish from an Indian restaurant. I could really go on and on! (Is that sad?)

3. Where do you want to retire?
Hmmm. This is a tricky one. I would want to be by family of course. I am really not sure I have thought about this at all before. Now I am stressing out because I need to plan for my retirement! I might have to get back to you on this one later.

4. Who do you admire?
I have many people who have touched my life in so many ways. I have awesome and inspiring parents, grandparents and friends. I have the most amazing husband. I don't know how he can be so patient with me and love me so much. I am truly blessed with an amazing marriage. (I don't know if I really answered that question!)

5. If you were invisible, where would you go?
I think being invisible wouldn't be all that fun. I am a very social person and need human contact. I do think there could be benefits though. It would be kind of fun to spy on people and listen to their conversations. Most of all if I were invisible I would go wherever I wanted!
