How do you feel about your birthday? Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?
Ugh, I totally dislike my birthday. I always want to have people make a big deal about it or at least acknowledge it is a special day, but without fail every year I allow myself to get my hopes up and I'm let down. I remember one time in Jr high I begged my Mom to sent flowers to my school. She agreed to do it, but they didn't come until the very end of the day... I was so upset. So yeah... now I dread it and try to keep it a secret.
What do you do with the cards and letters you receive? Do you keep them all, just keep the photos, throw them away?
Inspired by jacolily.
I throw those cards and letters away so fast you wouldn't believe it. When I was younger I did keep the special ones. As an adult I usually read them and then toss them. I do keep the photos (although I wonder why most of the time). I don't even bother to display the cards on the counter or tv when it is someone's birthday. You get your check out and then chuck the card. My daughter usually grabs her cards before I can toss them because she wants to save them.
Who is ringing in the New Year with you? Who do you wish could be with you, but isn't there?
My wonderful husband, my super munchkins and my adorable dogs with be ringing in the New Year with me. I wish my Daddy could be here, but I'm sure they have a super duper New Years Eve Party in Heaven, that is much better than ours here on earth.
Which breed of dog is your favorite? Post a picture of it.

I'm not a pure breed kinda girl. I love lots of breeds, Boxers, Pugs, Great Dane, St Bernard.... but my most favorite kind of "breed" would be the muttly kind of breed. Diva is the only dog I've ever had that was just one breed of dog. All my other dogs have been mutts and rescued dogs from the pound. They've always shown me great love and I'm sticking with them.
What's on your holiday wishlist?
There is nothing materialistic on my wishlist. I have all the material things I need. I would like peace in my heart, life and the world, can you make that happen? Honestly though, I don't have a wishlist, in fact I'm having a hard time coming up with something to tell the kids to get me when they go shopping with their dad this weekend.

Show us something good about Mondays.
I can't show you anything because I didn't take any pictures this morning since it was kind of "manic" around here. But the one thing I can look forward to on Mondays is working with my husband. I've been doing it since about August, almost every Monday and I really enjoy doing it. So Mondays are good because I get to spend the day with my husband.
If you could get everyone in the world to change their behavior in one way, what would you have them do differently?
Submitted by Ross.
I would have them judge less. Think about others before themselves. Allow each other to live their lives in their own way without feeling the need to tell then what they are doing wrong. Less pushing your way, your opinion on others. Being nicer to each other. Guess that's more than one, so if I could only pick one... it would be less judgments.
Which person from your past, who you've lost touch with, do you wonder about the most?

The first name that comes to mind would be my Jr High School best friend, Erica Ann Johnson. I moved from Idaho to Oregon with my family when I was 15 and in 9th grade. Erica had been my friend since 7th grade and we did everything together. We kept in touch and even visited each other a couple of times. She eventually moved to California with her family. After my then boyfriend, now husband and I moved from Oregon to Washington, keeping in touch got harder. When I told her I was getting married and I didn't ask her to be my maid of honor, we were no longer friends. She was very mad, since we had always said we'd ask each other. Honestly, I didn't ask her because she was in college by then and would be in the middle of school when we got married. I couldn't afford to fly her to our wedding and I wouldn't have asked her to pay for it, so I didn't ask. She wanted to at least be asked so she could say no, but still had the option. Shortly after I got married my father died. When I called to tell her, she was heartless. I never spoke to her again. I think about her often and wonder where she is, if she has kids, if she thinks of me...
