Favorite Things Juergen Animal or Pet Max, our black Labrador, since he is the most loving animal I know but behind his sweet personality he can also be a very stubborn mule Bedtime Story I remember my dad telling me a seemingly endless bedtime story about a man who lived in the woods. This man loved animals, could talk to birds and had so many cool adventures. He kept the story going for many years. Dream Job Teacher, because I think you can really make a difference in children's lives that way Fast Food Restaurant Carls Junior for their burgers Form of Exercise Running and Biking Fruit Pretty much any - although berries lead the list Hero There are many famous people such as Ghandi or Martin Luther King, but in reality its anyone who is willing to give something to help others, or who is not afraid to pursue their dreams Movie Fried Green Tomatos is also one of my all time favorite movies - one of the many favorites Siobhan and I share Quote Always do what you wish you could Subject in School History and Biology

Siobhan Actor Sean Penn for Mystic River, Paul Giamatti in Sideways, Forest Whittaker in anything Actress I can't pick just one - Meryl Streep for sure, LOVE Hillary Swank - she is so brave, Charlese Theron for her role in Monster. Animal or Pet My favorite pet is my dog named Calvin. I rescued him 12 years ago from the dog shelter and he is quite a character. He's tough and sweet all in the same moment and he always makes me laugh. Beverage/Drink Diet Coke. Unfortunately I have a rather bad habit of drinking diet sodas in the morning instead of coffee. I have been a huge Diet Coke fan for many years Color Purple. It's the color of my Mini Cooper, it's the color of my favorite eye shadow from MAC, and it reminds me of one of my favorite movies - The Color Purple Day of Week Friday - because I know it's the start of the weekend and I can look forward to spending time with my hubby and my two dogs. It's that sense of freedom when you think about two whole days/nights away from everything. Dessert A really good gooey brownie! Food Pizza, I really love pizza. I think I could eat it three times a week and still not get sick of it but...that's not healthy! Form of Exercise Running. I love to run, I might hate it while I'm actually doing it but nothing makes me feel as good as running when I'm done. I like to run with some great dance tunes in my iPod. Hero Oprah Winfrey is someone I admire a great deal. I love her talk show but more than that I love that she uses her power to help other people. Her Angel Network is incredible. Type of Music Dance tracks - Nellie Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Prince, Black Eyed Peas - I have to have fast music to work out!
