When I was a child I wanted to be: an actress and live in the city, just like Marlo Thomas.

The household I grew up in: very quiet. I was raised as an only child. My brothers lived in a different state and I didn't see them very often at all. I remember thinking that I wanted more than one child, if I ever had any.

You wouldn't know it but I am very good at: singing and procrastinating-you know about the procrastination...

You may not know it but I'm no good at: cleaning up.

What I see when I look in the mirror: an older woman who I don't know. Inside my mind I'm young.

My favourite item of clothing: my Land's End fleece pullover. Soft, comfy, warm.

I protest that I could only do one and 3 doesn't scratch the surface.

My favourite building: Again with one. I like my old 2nd Presbyterian Church. I like the Water Tower in Chicago. The Wrigley Building. There's a building on the Chicago River that I absolutely love and don't know the name.

A book that changed me: The Bible

Movie Heaven: I could sit and watch Lord of the Rings for hours (me too) Star Wars, Wall-E (yes, I love that movie), some older Errol Flynn/Olivia de Havilland movies, some b/w ones that they showed on Family Classics here in Chicago

The last album I bought: I don't know. Probably ELO or Supertramp, if you mean an actual vinyl album.

My greatest regret: too many to name one

My secret crush: Sean Bean, which is not secret

My real-life villain: Myself

The last time I cried: about 10 minutes ago. I know I cried a little at the movie War Horse.

My five year plan: pray, push kids out the door, pray, find a full time job, pray

My life in six words: I have not finished it yet.
