Re: AMA: Moonstone


  • I know you travel a lot for work.  Are you out of town now? Nope.  I'm in town right now.  My next trip is in April.  I'm going to Texas, but since I have back to back trips there, I'm just going to stay with my family since my client is in the next town over.  It will be very nice.  I'll get to be home for a friend's baby shower and Easter! 

    Where's your favorite place to go on business? For business... um... I'd prefer it all to be vacation, but I really enjoy the small towns.  Montepelier, VT was nice.  I got to stay at a B&B, run in the snow, and go to Burlington.  I also got stuck there... so you know how that goes!


  • When you work at home, you have to do webcam stuff, right?

    So do you do what newscasters do and just dress up the top half?  Like, business up top and pj pants with fuzzy slippers on the bottom? 

     


  • When you work at home, you have to do webcam stuff, right? No, thankfully, I just do conference calls and use gotomeetings for demos, trainings, etc.

    So do you do what newscasters do and just dress up the top half?  Like, business up top and pj pants with fuzzy slippers on the bottom? I work in sweaty workout clothes each day.

    Tell me about your trip to Thailand. When, where, how long, why, etc.

    I was in Thailand from january 2005- March 2007.   I was a Peace Corps volunteer in a small village in the North East between Laos and Cambodia.  My job was to design and conduct teacher trainings with the regional school board office. I also co-taught an aerobics group with the women each week night and organized health seminars with the health office for the woman's group!

  • How did you meet your husband?

    Are you planning on having kids?

    What's one place you want to travel to but haven't yet?

  • imageChangeOfPace:

    How did you meet your husband? We met through a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer group. We exchanged emails about some of their events.  I would say I'd be there, and I'd never show up ( I was in Sarasota, and the meetups were in Tampa).  Finally, we exchanged emails about work stuff and I invited him to a folk festival I was going to that weekend.  He came and the rest is history.

    Are you planning on having kids? Yes, I think we'll start trying for kids in a few months or atleast after the Grand Canyon hike.  I said I want to hike the GC before we have kids. 

    What's one place you want to travel to but haven't yet? I keep talking about going to Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas... in the summer sometime.

  • Wow, I bet that was the most amazing experience!

    Other than Thiland, where else out of the US did you travel to?
