What was your favorite class in high school? (And no, lunch doesn't count.) 

French.  Was my favorite college class too.

Would love to take more classes - or better yet, spend a year in Paris so I could be immersed in the language.  I love the way it sounds.

Littering, long showers, not recycling... What's your biggest pet peeve about the way some people (mis)treat our planet?
Sponsored by One Million Acts of Green brought to you by Cisco.

Smokers who treat the world like their own private ashtray, especially when they toss 'em out their car windows because God forbid they dirty the ashtray in their vehicle. 

Look, I get that you have a right to smoke - and that's your choice - but your butts don't need to litter our planet.

What's your worst habit?

Being late.  And I hate it.

But somehow I always seem to lose 10 minutes...

What's your favorite kind of soup?

What do you collect?

Today?  Excuses for not cleaning the garage like I planned to.

(For the record, I have gotten a few boxes handled and there is more in the attic than before.)

What do you immediately notice when you meet a person for the first time?
Submitted by tumblingpufl.

I used to think I noticed someone's eyes first.  But I have recently come to the realization that I notice their mouth and teeth.  I am not sure why that is.  Maybe since I was so self-conscious about my own teeth for a long time, until I got them crowned last year.  Perhaps it is because they start to speak and I am watching them speak.

It's not like I am looking for a bit o' lettuce stuck from their lunch.  Though that can be kind of distracting.  Especially if it is someone you don't know too well.  Then you are faced with the dilemma - do you tell them or leave them in ignorant bliss?  A friend or loved one - I'd most definitely tell.  But that stranger in Target...?

What to do...what to do...

Which countries have you visited? Which countries are on your list to visit?

Mexico, Canada, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos.

There are too many to count that I want to visit!  But top 5 are:

France, England, Australia (I know it's a continent, but work with me), Austria, and Italy.

More time to write and take pictures.  I miss having time to do those things.

Which 5 words would your best friend use to describe you?
Submitted by Ross.

I emailed The Best Friend*, and she wrote:

Honest
Empathetic
Loyal
Funny
Proper

I was a little confused by "proper", but she said she meant it in accordance with this definition:

"conforming to established standards of behavior or manners; correct or decorous"

I guess I can live with that.  And all the rest, for that matter.

*She's known me for over 23 years.
