1) What has been the best day/experience of your life thus far? Don't cop out and put "my wedding day" or "the day my kids were born" unless you truly mean it! Can I name an entire week? It was March 25-31, 2001 -- the day I met Nick for the first time in person and the week we spent together. Actually, I didn't leave until April 1. There were some wonderful things that happened that day, too, but the end was so terribly sad that I'm not going to include it. I'd really like to give details
2) Do you like your name? Have you ever considered changing it? Is there a story behind your name (ie. did it come from a relative, a beloved storyline, etc.)? I hate my name, but I never considered changing it. There's interesting story about my middle name (Louise, which I hate even more than Anne). My grandmother secretly prayed that my mom would name me Louise because there was a statue of Saint Louise in the middle of the town where she grew up in Italy. My grandmother thought Saint Louise was so beautiful and she wanted one of her granddaughters to have that name. But she never told my mother that because she didn't want my mother to feel pressured. My mom was stuck on the name Anne (There's a story behind that but I can't remember it right now.) but couldn't come up with a good, unique middle name. She still didn't have one the first time my grandmother saw me. But I guess as soon as my grandmother held me for the first time the name Louise popped into my mom's head. I've since learned that Saint Louise was named the patron saint of social workers in the year I was born; she helped establish the St. Vincent DePaul Society; and founded the Sisters of Charity order of nuns. Her feast day is March 15, which happens to be the birthday of a very dear and special friend of mine.
3) If you had to choose to be an animal right at this very moment, which one would you choose? Why did you pick that one? Whichever animal would be best and fastest at getting boxes packed and laundry done.
