There’s a new interview meme going around, and Julie participated on her blog. I asked her to interview me, and she sent me some personalized questions. If you want to join in, leave a comment on this entry saying “Interview me”, and I’ll email you a list of 5 questions. I’ll take the first 5 who ask to be interviewed, and everyone will get different questions. Here’s what Julie asked me:
1. How do you get it all done in one day? Your job, your fund raisers, your blogs? Do you have a schedule that you follow?
What’s a schedule? A typical day for me includes waking up, dropping the kids at school, and then coming home and getting online for the next 8 hours or so. (And more than that, on some days). I multi task a LOT, and I blog as ideas and thoughts pop into my head. And I squeeze work in there too. I’m actually kind of spastic when I get things done, because I’m not slow and methodical, I’m kind of frantic and frazzled.
2. Does Jim keep you up all night with his snoring? Do you ever slug him to try to get him to be quiet? I ask him to roll over. A lot. He’s gotten TONS better since he started using a special nasal spray, but it’s still pretty bad. If I can fall asleep first, I’m good…because I’m a heavy sleeper. But trying to fall asleep when he’s already sawing logs? Not gonna work. I’ve been known to nudge him, kick him, smack his arm, and roll him over on my own.
3. How many shows do you DVR in a week? I counted, just for this, and I DVR 32 shows a week. That’s just the shows, not any multiple episodes that I record. So the actual # of episodes recorded per week is more like 50 or 60. Here’s a small sampling of what my DVR is set to catch:
The Wonder Years
Survivor
The Office
The Amazing Race
M*A*S*H
Tori & Dean Inn Love
Medium
Two and a Half Men
Raines
The Class
The Real Deal
Moving Up
How I Met Your Mother
Buy Me
Property Ladder
Alice
I also record the occasional special on TLC, or a movie for the kids or us.
4. Do you think we’re going to see Jim and Pam do it on The Office this season, or will they drag it out for another 10 seasons?
It’s television, they are SO going to drag this out for another 10 seasons. And if and when Jim and Pam hook up, they’re going to break up, so that we have more to watch.
5. Do you have any regrets? Way too many to list here, but the things I regret made me who I am too. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant when I was 18, I wouldn’t have Catherine. If my parents had sent me to the private Catholic university I wanted to attend, I wouldn’t have met Jim. And I regret choices I’ve made, of course - don’t we all? But hindsight is 20/20 and all that, and I can’t go back in time and change anything now.

I love Raines! The show is not emmy-worthy really (at least not yet) but I think it’s soo fun!
Great answers! I was hoping to get a few secret tips on your time management skillz, but it appears to be just a natural gift. Nice. Lucky.
The Amazing Race (boo on this being the last season!), The Class and How I Met Your Mother are faves of mine, too.
And Friday Night Lights is really good. I’d love to be interviewed… 
I want to be interviewed by teh mighty Colleen.
I like your answers btw.
Hey, what’s the name of the nasal spray your husband uses? There’s a certain person I share my bed with who could really use it! And interview me if you want but no obligations.
[…] Colleen was kind enough to interview me when I commented on her interview post! If you want me to interview you, just leave a comment and let me know. […]
Hey Colleen! I’m playing, too. Was interviewed by Deb, from Surviving NJ but would love to do another one.
[…] Another interview. And from Colleen this time. She is teh awesome. I of course requested to be interviewed, and these are the questions she asked me. […]
