1. Whatever is in front of me. Snack cakes, like Ding Dongs.

1. Dark chocolate. I prefer the taste to milk chocolate or any other candy.
2. I'm missing my mom, especially at this time of year. She died when I was 16, but I know I'll see her again someday.
3. Go to Hawaii. I've always wanted to go. I love the beach.
4. I don't really know, but I'm happy now with my husband and two wonderful children. And a good job at Renaissance.

1. I usually reach for a piece of fresh fruit, because I'm trying to eat healthier. Apples are my favorite.
2. My sister-in-law, Sally. She was like my own sister. We miss her.
3. Fly an airplane and do some stunt flying like I used to do when I was 18 years old. I was ready to get my pilot's license, but I got my marriage license instead.
4. I had wanted to be a nurse, and I became a surgical assistant. I also wanted to own my own business, and I am doing that now.

1. Potato chips. Barbeque. It's spicy and salty and gives me what I need, that crunch.
2. I miss my mom. She passed away and she's the person I miss most of all.
3. Go to Florida. The beaches.
4. I wanted to be a nurse, but I changed my mind when I had to draw blood in a high school class and almost fainted. But I love working with special needs children now.
