Remember those emails you used to get that asked you all those questions and you’d answer the questions and reply back to the person who sent it and also send it along to a few other folks to see if they were also procrastinators looking for an excuse to avoid real work also interesting people who like to answer silly questions just for fun? Well, my friend Emily did a blog edition one. And then so did Shireen. And probably a few other people who have nothing better to do are also procrastinators have really exciting lives.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I’m pretty sure the answer is no. I do know that I was originally supposed to be named Meredith, but my grandfather said he’d call me Mary (read: May-ree in Southernese) and my mom decided a new name was a better solution than trying to break that.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
When I looked at my little baby in a big girl bed.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
I like the way I type. Does that count?
