If you could be doing anything right now, anywhere in the world...what would it be? This is always hard when you're sick because of course you just want to be in bed. But if I try to imagine I'm not sick... I guess I'd like to be here:

 

What is your dream car? Right now I'm kind of obsessed with the motor on Downton Abbey:

What is one thing you would like to change about your physical appearance? The consistency of my hair. I'm so tired of the frizz.

What is one thing that you love about your physical appearance? The color of my hair. I literally have a love-hate relationship with my hair.

What was your movie/cartoon as a child? Hope you feel better soon

RoxysMama:

If you could eat one thing every day without guilt or consequence what would it be? Oh boy, I guess ice cream.

How old were you when you got married? 28, that was 5 years ago

What is your favorite way to relax? It depends on my mood. I like to read and write when I'm in the right frame of mind. But if I'm really tired or stressed often I just want to watch TV, usually something funny. A hot shower relaxes me, too.

What is your all time favorite movie?

What was your movie/cartoon as a child? I'll do cartoon since I already did movie. I think it would have been Inspector Gadget. I also really liked Scooby Doo and the Peanuts/Charlie Brown cartoons.

Are you liking southern california? What's the biggest change (besides the weather)?

hannikan

Are you liking southern california? What's the biggest change (besides the weather)? Yeah, I would rather be in a different area than L.A. itself. I went to college in Santa Barbara and that area is more appealing to me. It's prettier and less crowded. And it doesn't get as hot. Though since we have to be here, I think we're in one of the nicest parts of L.A. The weather isn't really that different than the Bay Area. At least not the parts of the B.A. I lived (East Bay and SJ). There's less wind mostly. I think the biggest difference is the traffic/driving. People drive really badly here and the freeways are crazy.

Sorry you're feeling sick!

Thanks for the well wishes. It's been a rough day today. I'm feeling a little better after sleeping for 5 hours this afternoon.

Describe the pros and cons about your Alaska cruise?

You mean in terms of access for DH? I blogged about the trip in Our Blog (which is now private so I can add you if you leave your email or email me at SN at yahoo)

Here's the pro con list I did about the ship:

Things that are good for people in wheelchairs on our cruise ship:

1) Drew could pretty much get everywhere on the boat except the very top walkway look-outs on the top deck. He could still be on the top deck though.
2) When you're docked at port there are lots of people to assist you getting off the boat. This is important since the ramps to get off the boat are super steep.
3) elevators to every part of the ship passengers can go
4) widened doorways to most places
5) Our room was twice the size of normal rooms
6) Our bathroom had a roll-in shower
7) Our bathroom was big
8) Drew was able to go out on our balcony

Things that are bad for people in wheelchairs on our cruise ship:

1) Heavy doors onto most of the decks
2) Only a couple of automatic doors and no buttons to open doors automatically for the disabled.
3) Having to wait for buses to excursions with lifts
4) They didn't keep track of who could get out of their chairs so everyday they had us fill out a paper saying that he could not and would need assistance getting off the boat or would require a lift on the transport vehicle.
5) They blocked off a ramp on one of the ship's floors one day when we were docked. They refused to open it up. So in order for Drew to disembark we had to go up and down the elevator and through a few floors. Very annoying.
6) The ramp out to the balcony of our room was not fixed so it would slide around when Drew rolled on it.
7) Severe lips to go over in important doorways that meant Drew had to be pushed over them most of the time instead of doing it himself. Usu there was someone nearby who did it but it would not have taken much to level off those lips more.
