I was going through blog newsletters in my email and came across one from Melinda at Look What Mom Found. I love reading about other people – especially when you “know” them, but only as a friend in your computer. Posts like this let you see the more personal side of the computer friend!
I recently did an ABC’s of Me post, so you got to know a little about me. But, I am sure you want to know more, right?! So I’m stealing the questions!
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Nope, not specifically. Though, there was a ‘Sara’ on my dad’s side of the family.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
The last time I cried was a few days ago. But it seems like I cry ALL.THE.TIME. I cry when I am happy, sad, mad, or just plain frustrated.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Most of the time, yes!

I love Boar’s Head Turkey!

Quaker Oatmeal Squares
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
It depends on the pair – but most of the time, yes. (I don’t untie the “OLD” shoes, just the newer pairs.)
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
I think I can be strong, but I don’t think I always am.

Their shoes.
15. RED OR PINK?
Red. But, I do really like pink, too!
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My calves. They look like stove pipes. (I’ve also been known to call them ‘cave man legs’.) It’s a hereditary thing and, without surgery, there’s nothing I can do to change it.
