My Year in Running

(Super fun audience participation opportunity below. Leave a comment and sign up. That is an order.) No more fun left. If you want to play, wait until my players post their answers and then sign up for their questions.)

Estella has sent me her five questions. If you don't know what this is about, check out the rules at the bottom.

1. What's your biggest pet peeve?

There are many attractive peeves, but I'm not sure I'd ever want one for a pet. Most of the stuff that really gets me involves people putting their own interests ahead of others'. Cheating, stealing, rudeness. The selfish stuff.

2. Describe the last time you looked around and thought, "Right this second I am completely and perfectly happy".

This is an embarrassingly frequent occurrence. The last time was probably wrestling with She Who Must Be Obeyed and the girls on our bed a couple weeks ago. For whatever reason, when I used to dream about having a family, that's what I pictured: Jennifer, me, and n girls wrestling and giggling. So when it happens, I'm like "Hey! This is what it was supposed to be like!" There are a lot of things that make me happy. I've identified most of them, so I know what to look out for.

3. Why couldn't John and Holly Mclane ever get their shit together?

Because John was too damn dumb to realize that having an industrious wife and engaging hobbies is the pinnacle of manhood.

4. What was the last lie you told? Big or small.

"If you yell in Daddy's ear, his head will explode, we'll all be covered in brains, the car will need to be detailed, and you won't have a Daddy anymore."

5. What one, tangible thing are you most afraid of?
