Gary

Write about a great bargain you've gotten.

My husband - he helps me cook, he helps me clean, and most of all he is patient with me and trusts me and believes in me.

If only, if only

What trait or feature do you wish you'd inherited from one of your parents (but didn't)?

Brilliant inductive knowledge like my mom.

Exponential?

If you could plant something non-living and make it grow (such as planting a dollar and growing a money tree), what would you plant?

My husband says he would grow his bank account.

I concede to his wishes.

Merci, monsieur

What is the last compliment you remember receiving?

I was going to chill in the hot tub at the YMCA (I know, wrong metaphor) after a nice hard workout. I was chatting with a grandpa who was in there and he told me about his friend from days of yore named Barbara. "You reminded me of her when you got in the pool," he reminisced, "you jogged my memory, she had a body just like yours, real nice and curvy, and real smart like you."

Monster

Write a brief bit of fiction involving a monster.

There once was a little girl who had a bad attitude.

Puddle up

Write about a memory you have that involves swimming.

So many, so many.

Jumping in the pool in the hotel in Portland, OR with all my siblings - Rebecca learned how to swim there; when we got home, we were so swim crazed our parents took us to the lynnwood pool and signed us up for lessons.

I hated getting up "early" (7 am or 6, I forget), for the classes. Our swim instructor always chewed gum and I knew the rules said no gum in the pool, so I was confused.

Kristina and I swimming in the pool in Bothell and bugging the lifeguard for tips!

Trustworthy

Who do you trust?

My husband

I have no fear when he goes out without me, I never even consider fretting on him or wondering if I need to "spy" on him. He is honest and open with me, and always has been. He expects me to reciprocate. He never lies ... well, except when he is hiding my birthday surprise :) I always count on him to be there for me, and he always is - he has never let me down.
