I'm happily mostly moved into my new place. There are still several boxes and things that need to go down to the storage room. But, mostly, I'm moved in! I have to take one, maybe two trips back to the house - to take out trash and get a load of Goodwill and electronics to Best Buy for recycling. Exciting stuff, right? I loved watching the sun come up this morning and right now I can see the sun dancing on the water. George barks at birds, planes, and helicopters going over the coast so we're working on that!

Did you ever sleepwalk as a child?
Nope.
Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house?
I did! So embarrassing how dumb I was. I was a freshman in high school ... probably 14, nearly 15. There was a boy who went to the military academy (probably for a reason!) who wanted me to sneak out to hang out with him. As I said, I was dumb and said yes. Girls, let this be a life lesson: if a boy is into you, he will want to see you BEFORE your curfew. Anyway, this was pre-cell phones so I couldn't call him to tell him my mom was not only still awake, she was downstairs in the family room - outside of my room! - watching TV. She must have had spidey sense. Anyway, I was dressed and waiting for her to go to bed when I heard my dad yell because the dumb boy was running through our yard. I was busted and never even got out the door. (thankfully)
Did you ever have any imaginary friends?
No, my my aunt claims I had one named Mrs. Beasley. I contend Mrs. Beasley was a doll.
Did you ever go toilet papering?
No. I was too scared of getting caught! But my best friend and I did drive by boys' houses, if that counts as crazy weekend behavior.
Did you ever sneak TV shows you weren't allowed to watch?
I can't think of anything I wasn't allowed to watch. But I have watched Days of Our Lives ever since third grade and I'm sure my parents weren't thrilled about that. Well, I haven't watched since college but it's all basically the same whenever I catch it on a summer vacation or winter break.
