Air, unless I knock over my water glass as I stretch it out.

Yes, and I remember it being interesting, but I've since forgotten all the details.

45 minutes ago when I went upstairs to get the girls ready for bed. I got to act all righteous since I wasn't goofing off on the computer, having stopped moments before, while my DH still was.

Green paint on the top half, white paint with molding on the bottom. Some stray magic marker marks.

Something that surprises me when I remember it: I was a varsity athlete in college. It just doesn't fit my self image. The varsity part, that is. I like having been a fencer.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

I've already had two. If my third had been a girl, she would have been called Laurel.

We had a terrible time coming up with boys names. We're not planning to have more, but if I had another boy, we might end up calling him Laurel!

22. Would you ever consider living abroad?
There times when it seems appealing, but we have a lot of inertia. I doubt we'll move anywhere another decade or more.

Hee! We had a girl's name (Jamie) picked out before ds was conceived. Fortunately, I was still pregnant (5 months) when we found the perfect name for ds -- Ryan. I shudder to think what would've happened when my ob said that it was a boy if we hadn't had a name picked out. He may well have ended up saddled with "Baby Boy" for the rest of his life.
