Seems like the new thing is doing interviews via blogs. It’s almost as new as sliced bread! I’ve done 2 this week. They were actually kind of fun & I had extra time since it’s spring break. I’m going to post the short one here that Mrs. Chicky grilled me with.

1) Seriously, what the heck does “Fenicle” mean?
Fenicle was my grandmother’s maiden name. She was one of 6 girls and being such a unique last name, I guess my mom felt it was sad not to carry it on. I made up a story in middle school after being humiliated by a full-name roll call and told people it was French for Nicole. Sounded good anyway.

2) Dog person or cat person?
I am definitely NOT a cat person (sorry!). I almost didn’t marry my husband because his parents had a cat and it scared the heck out of me!! The first time I saw it I didn’t know what it was. It must have weighed 40 lbs and his dad kept it shaved. We recently got a new puppy. You can read about how hell froze over here.

3) Brad Pitt or George Clooney?
Oh man, I’d be 100% George. He’s got that sexy older man appeal. I’m a sucker for older, distinguished men. Freaky I know. Plus I personally never had an interest in Brad. I’m Team Aniston!

4) What was your major in college and what made you choose it?
Truth be told, I choose my college based on where my friends went and I choose my major based on the required subjects. I settled into Child Development & Family Studies (sounds cool uh?) at Purdue because I did not have to take any foreign languages. I choose the “Youth & Family Services” specialization. See in high school I took 1 year of Spanish, but I never really bothered to learn it. They wouldn’t let me take the second year. Something about how I mocked the language? Spanish would be a hell of a lot easier if we just used “el” in front of a word and “o” after. For example: El-lamp-o OR El-cool-o

5) What is your biggest fear?
Fear? I can remember my two biggest fears used to be losing someone I love and being in a serious car accident. Both happened in 10 months time….so what’s left? My biggest fear now is falling, especially down steps. I seriously have nightmares about it. I don’t know if it is because I am unbalanced due to the leg/ankle injuries from the accident or just a fear of getting hurt again.

Thanks Mrs. Chicky!!

Theory of Thought bestowed upon me a “Thinking Blogger” award. She obviously didn’t read about how I flunked college algebra 9 times. I’m not much of a thinker, but thanks!!

In spirit of this made-up-make-ya-feel-the-love award, I’d like to pass it on to several daily reads (in no particular order) - Canape, Jail Diet, Kate, Devra, & Haley.

Enjoy. Pass along, just don’t pass it back!
