Appetizer
If you were a dog, what breed would you be, and why? Oh, I’d be a golden retriever. They are loyal, happy and love their owners unconditionally

Soup
What does the color purple make you think of? Royalty. Or occasionally that movie and book 🙂

Salad
Approximately how long does it take you to get ready each morning? About 45 minutes to an hour, depending on where I’m going and what kind of clothes, make-up are involved 🙄

Main Course
How many cousins do you have, and are you close to them? OK, this opens up a whole different can of worms. I had one uncle I knew, and one I did not. The one I never had any contact with (he and my dad were not on speaking terms), had 3 children, I think, so they would be my cousins. However, I don’t know their names and have never met them. I grew up without an extended family – never really seeing uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. Then, I marry Tim. Tim who has a huge family. His mom is one of 8 and his dad one of 5. He literally has dozens of cousins. I tried to count them one time and wasn’t sure I got them all. I think I counted 27 or 28 first cousins. I’d be hard pressed to name them, but I’ve met almost all of them through the years. I know some of them pretty well, he had some really great cousins 🙂

Dessert
Take your initials (first, middle, last) and come up with something else those letters could stand for. (Example: SFO = Sweet Funny Otter) Ugh. I haven’t had any coffee yet, so these kinds of things are hard. How about SKH — Some Kick Heroes ? Or Stuff Kelvins Heat? Gosh, I’m not good at this 😀
