A fellow writer and amazing author, Morgan Busse, posted a series of questions on her blog last year. I loved the format, and like Morgan I also love answering questionnaires. I am totally geeky that way. I thought it was a fun way to get to know Morgan, so I saved the list thinking I would do the same here in suburbia. Well… today is the day. Welcome to the world of Stacey. 
42 Random Questions

2. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Epic
3. What is your favorite TV show? Hawaii Life (because I dream of living in Hawaii)
4. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Hawaii, but that is not going to happen, so I would say Boston (I love anything to do with history!).
5. What did you have for breakfast? Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes

22. What did you want to be when you were little? An astronaut. It was my dream until high school when I met Sally Ride and she explained that I would have to major in Science and Math in college. Then my dream changed. I detest Math and Science comes in at a close second. I did ask Sally if any astronauts were English majors and she assured me she had never met one. That was pretty much the end of that dream.

Loved this, Stacey! You and I have a lot in common! Including #42. I don’t like the taste of coffee, even in ice cream, but I love, love, love the smell of it.

Thanks, Mary! Yes, I am always happy to make my husband’s coffee, because the smell is a great way to wake up. I just don’t care for the taste. I have tried the ice cream and don’t care for it either. Have a great day!

I guessed most of your answers, but you rather go to Italy? Really, one horse town Lumut would be a nice trade off. And I’m impressed the fish are still alive. 🙂
