Happy Easter!

Good morning and Happy Easter to those of us who celebrate! Laura, Lent can be considered to have ended on Thursday, so we were totally okay going out for barbecue on Friday night. (Just trying to absolve us of that ex-Catholic guilt.)


The foundation's pre-website-launch checklist is giving me fits this weekend. After I completed and verified most of my web pages early a couple of months ago (having been, along with web producers from two other chapters, basically a beta tester of the whole CMS system- you're welcome), the national office has made changes to the structure of some pages that has resulted in the disappearance and/or complete "screwing up" (technical term air quotes!) of several of my chapter's pages.

*sigh*

As I am reconstructing several key pages, I am finding new system bugs. Ugh. What a mess.

Prince and Duran Duran were my two ultimate favorites.

Chuck Woolery

Blogger!

4: If you could meet anyone again from your childhood, who would it be?
Mr. Jackson, my awesome fifth grade teacher at Burnett Elementary in Houston.

5: Where did you want to live when you were growing up?
Good question. I don't think I thought much about living anywhere other than Houston. We spent a lot of time in College Station with my grandparents and aunt and uncles, so I would have happily lived there as well.

6: What is the most interesting piece of Trivia that you know?
Fun fact: Teeth are the only body parts that cannot heal themselves.

I would live in ancient Rome, when they didn't have to wear pesky undergarments.

8: What is the most interesting job you have ever had?
The one I have now. It's never boring, working with brand new therapies and medical devices that may be helping people in the next few years.

9. Please share one middle school memory. It can be good, bad, ugly, funny. Pictures or words, I don't care, just share. 
Mr. Spasic, my seventh grade Texas History teacher, used to do these hilarious overheads for lessons, starring Mr. Spaso, a parody of Mr. Bill from SNL. This is a card I made him on the last day of school, with Mr. Spaso on the front. It said, "Oh NOOOOO.... Texas History is over. :(" Heh.

10. What's your favorite Beatles song?
"Oh! Darling" Love Sarah Bareilles' cover:

athletic capris and a thin t-shirt

12. Would you rather host a party or be a guest?
Be a guest. I love planning parties, but I tend to stress over the details when I am hosting.

Yes and yes.

My table's table tent from the foundation's awards night (it says "Guests of Kathy ---"), that Laura stole for me. It's been here for maybe a month, waiting for me to figure out what to do with it.

18. What is your favorite Tom Cruise movie?
Top Gun

19. You buy a bottle of shampoo and discover that you don't like what it does to your hair at all. What do you do with that full bottle?
I offer it to the fam and a couple of friends, to see if they want to try it. If not, I toss it. I did just read that if you don't like a new conditioner, you can use it as shaving cream. Great idea!
