How long have you been using the internet, and when was the first time you went online?

I've been using the internet since 1995.  I have no idea about the first time I went online.  It would be interesting if I could remember that, although it was probably looking-up something for school.

One (other than holidays) -- went home sick Friday.

fresh raspberries

What time do you get up during the week?

Normally between 3 and 4 AM since I can start work as early as 5. Traffic issues later in the day make getting up that early VERY worth it.

I like to eat breakfast, but with a toddler it's sort of hit or miss as to whether or not I actually get to.

After you've had a really bad day, what's the one thing that you do to feel better?

Hot bath and a glass of wine! Talking to DH, sister or a close friend helps too!


Can you change a flat tire?

I know how, but lucky I've never had to put the knowledge to use with always having new cars with roadside assistance.

What was your first two wheeled bicycle like?

I love this question.  My first two-wheeler was a mess.  It was a used, metallic blue bicycle with a black banana seat.  I didn't want a blue bicycle, so my mom and I dressed it up with streamers on the high-up handlebars, a white and orange basket, a siren, and 2 of those little toy license plates with my name on them (one for the front and one for the back, of course).  Last but not least, the crowning glory of the bicycle were the neon Spokey-Dokeys (if anyone remembers those).  They went flacka-flacka-flacka-flacka as I pedaled down the street.

What can you remember about your first vacation?

It wasn't my first, but the first I remember.  We took my brother on his first camping trip - he was about 6 months old and I was four.  We went to Yosemite, my favorite place when I was a kid, and he screamed and screamed and screamed the entire first night.  We packed up and headed back home at about 3am.  I still haven't forgiven him for it, either.
