Dear 7 Questions,

1. What do you do when you’re sick? (Do you act like a baby? Tough it out? Have any weird cravings? Cry?)
I tough it out… and complain to Adam some. But mostly I tough it out.

2. What do you do to find motivation when you feel you’ve lost it?
I let my haters be my motivators! Just kidding. I don’t know of enough haters to motivate me, so if you are out there step forward so that can become true! I usually find motivation through sitting down for a little and then thinking, “Wait one second… this will not do!”

3. Do you wish time away or do you savor every moment?
A little of both. Is that fair? I don’t wish time away, but I look forward to the time to come. And I enjoy every moment I can today. “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the ‘present’.” 

4. If you could be any mythological creature, what would you be, and why?
Clearly the only choice is a Harpie…. A woman’s head and torso with the body (aka wings) of a bird. It is like getting everything I want. Being a human that can fly.

5. What is your current biggest weakness and are you working on fixing it?
My biggest weakness… I am very very stubborn. And I am working on it by giving in a little more. And being okay with not always winning, getting what I want, and being right. I have had to work on that even more as I have gotten engaged because marriage is about compromise. You’ll have to ask Adam how I am doing because obviously I think I am doing awesome.

6. How do you greet someone when meeting them for the first time?
If it is in a business setting I will just smile, shake their hand, and say, “Hi! I am Deidre, what is your name?” If I am in a friend setting I will introduce myself and then (since I have been hugging everyone else) say, “I will just give you a hug too!”

7. How do you grocery shop? (Do you write up a list? Go in with no idea what you’re looking for? Have meal plans? Bring your own shopping bags?)
