07/01/03 Mom - The Wizard of Oz, her love for Sarah Brightman's music, crafts, being a "nice boss", and the advantages of medical websites.


ES: Where do you reside?
M: Collingwood, Ontario, Canada

ES: What makes you money today?
M: Occasionally a rare win from a 5 cent machine at the casino...otherwise my job.

ES: What is your title, what do you do, and where?
M: Manager at Pilkington Glass Factory Cafeteria in Collingwood. I manage a brand new cafeteria including 15 vending machines, and a staff of 7. I like being a "nice" boss, but dislike the long hours.

ES: What time do you wake up & what's the first thing you do?
M: Mon-Fri about 5:30 a.m. Sat and Sun...hmmm....about the same! Habit I guess. First thing I do? See if the sun is shining, look at my kid's pictures and go get a coffee.

ES: What do you do in your spare time?
M: Spare time? Is there such a thing? Eric's birthday present is still sitting here in a box...what's that tell you??? Actually, I love doing crafts...cross stitching, painting etc. Love to cook and bake, gardening is great. Since I live 45 min from a Wal-Mart, going there is a treat!

ES: What's in your cd player right now?
M: Sarah Brightman. I know, I know. Who's she huh? First time I heard her music it was drifting from a sailboat in the
marina at sunset. Just beautiful...little bit opera.

ES: What's your favorite website and why? (Eric-Sharp.com is not electable)
M: What? Eric's website doesn't count? :) I would say any health website. Love to be able to look up things for free,
without going to a Doctor.

ES: List a few of your short term goals. (Travel, career, personal, etc.)
M: Purchase some Disney movies that are disappearing fast... get all my pictures in frames or albums...plant lots of flowers in pots for my patio...but most of all...have my kids come for a visit...oh, and send Eric his past due birthday box!

ES: If you could spend a day with anyone in the world (living), who would it be and why?
M: Charles Swindoll, Evangelist. Because his voice has ALWAYS calmed me even when I was the most discouraged. I am
fascinated just listening to his talks, and he is so interesting.

ES: Favorite movies of all time?
M: Wizard of Oz, Toy Story, and Christmas Story

ES: If you were given the power to either fly (45 mph max), or become invisible for a designated duration of 30 minutes every day, which one would you choose & why?
M: Fly...I imagine that would be calming and peaceful and seeing so much all at once!

ES:
Have you ever been arrested? If so, what for?
M: Never.

ES: What's your most favorite memory of Eric?
M: As a newborn laying in my arms for the first time. A mother never forgets that moment. Secondly, sitting on the kitchen floor at his grandma's with a bag of chips, munching away. He was about 3 and had climbed up on a chair so he could sneak and get that bag of chips! Naughty boy! Then there was the time he was playing third base in baseball...and he went airborne horizontally to catch a ball...I was so proud of him. There were the memories of me dressing him like a nerd back in the days when we didn't KNOW we were dressing him like a nerd! And the time he had his tonsils out and he needed help getting dressed...and he was uncomfortable having his mama help him :) And all the times at Christmas when I purposely gave him all the clue cards for his presents that sent him outdoors looking..haha. Oh...you said favorite "memory"? There are SO MANY...how can I choose? Every day is a special memory in the making even when we are apart. May life give us lots more!
