Questions, Questions, Questions...

Once upon a Family tagged me with some questions and then I must ask some more questions, passing those on to other bloggers...

1. What is the community you live in known for?
Home of the highest taxes in the country! And I wish I were joking about that.

2. What was your favorite t.v. show when you were a kid?
I had many favorites. I remember watching Carol and Paula on The Magic Garden after school, the Disney Afternoon line up, especially The Gummi Bears, Tail Spin, and Darkwing Duck...In general, I was very much into cartoons.

3. Do you have any pets?
Five cats--Dustbunny, Merlin, Rosie, Romeo and Hobgoblin. We also have five stick bugs right now. I happen to love the stick bugs. Low maintenance, interesting to watch, quiet. What more could you ask for in a pet?

4. How often do you vacuum?
I sweep almost daily. A few times a month I take out the old monster and fight with it. It tries to suck up any unsuspecting string, even if it is attached to a shoe, which causes the roller to stick and melts the rubber belt. I've been in need of a new vacuum for a couple of years now, but I haven't found one that I like that I can afford.

5. What would you want to do if you weren't living the life you are now?
I love my life! Don't get me wrong, I have my bad days, but I try to be thankful for each day I have with my kids and husband. If I had more free time and less responsibility, I would probably want to travel. I like exploring new places.

6. Would you rather go to a crowded supermarket on a Friday afternoon or be canning on a hot day?
Are those my only choices?! I guess I would have to do the crowded supermarket, since I've never canned and would probably end up exploding something!

7. What is the best thing about your spouse?
He's very supportive. He backs up my crazy schemes, even if he isn't completely sure about them. He trusts my judgment.

8. If you could go to lunch with anyone in the world who would it be?
Who wouldn't I want to go to lunch with? I would love to meet some of my blogging friends for lunch, or lunch with some of my favorite authors, like Elizabeth Peters, JK Rowling, or Rick Riordan. But above all, I think I would love to sit down to lunch with my sister and her family. Living on the opposite coast from her has been hard. I miss her.

So now it's my turn. I don't do well with tagging, so I will make this a request. If you choose to answer my questions, please tell me you did it in the comments and I'll go check your answers!
