Do you believe that honesty is the best policy?

Like everything else, it depends.  Honesty is good if who you are talking to can handle it.  Sometimes a little white lie is in order :)

My Verizon card so I can have internet access wherever I go!

Voice texting so I can text while I drive :)

"Well behaved women rarely make history".

What's one thing you can't say no to?

So I can generally say no to almost anything once in a while but the things I generally say yes to even when I shouldn't are:

• My nephews (who could deny those adoreable faces)
• Get togethers (I generally over-commit myself cuz I always feel bad about missing anything)
• Meetings (ask me to attend a meeting, I'll always be there, regardless of my chaotic schedule)
• Projects (if no one raises their hand, guess who takes it?)
• Liquor (I'll never say no to happy hour, I mean never)
• Dessert (I'll always have at least a bite if you order it)
• Dancing (give me an opportunity to go dancing and I will always take it)
• Vacations (I don't always get around to scheduling them myself but invite me and I'll always go)
  

So it actually looks like drinks and dancing are the ones I actually never say no too, not so bad :)

I can stay connected to nearly every person I know.  Social sites like Facebook allow me to keep in contact with people I haven't talked to in 10 even 20 years! 

Exercise regularly and remember - you are what you eat.

Um, hello.... of course the answer is YES!  Well, problem is exercise also allows me to release stress so if the pill took care of that too, then definitely.  Although I suppose I could always take a different pill for the stress, or a strong drink...

I have watched this before but was reminded of it again today when one of my marketing newsletters included a link to it.  If you haven't watched already, I highly suggest checking it out.  It's funny and it really put things in perspective.  It also makes a lot of us who are super dependent on technology and expect everything right thing second (yes, this is me) look like a**es.

What are your fitness goals? What is helping or preventing you from accomplishing them?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.

I typically have very regimented fitness goals but lately things have been a bit too hectic to follow any real specifics.  I exercise regularly and watch what I eat but I guess this question can serving as a forcing function for me to get back on the wagon with some actual fitness goals.

1. Drop a dress size and/or lose 10lbs
2. Climb Mount Whitney
3. Take Ballet fitness classes, regularly
4. Attend at least one of my 6am classes each week

Wow, I am exhausted just thinking about it.  Probably not a good idea to write such a list while hungover - but that is for another day.

If you could only watch one sport (live and on television) for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

FOOTBALL for sure!

Go Vikings!!!   I've been working hard to get my nephews to become fans as well....

How do you cool off when you're upset?

It should be super durable and light.  Plus, it should have limited and larger keys to make it easier for kids to use.  Waterproof would be good and a screen that doesn't show smudges as kids always want to touch the screen!

Contrary to what most people would say, I think technology has positively impacted the quality time I spend with my family.  Specifically, it allows me to spend more time connecting with them so while it might not be the best "quality" it more which is always good.

I can see pictures of my nephews on photo sharing sites, hear stories about vacations via email or blogs, and even know average everyday activities through status updates on Facebook.   I don't ever feel like I don't know what's happening with my family and digital technology alongside with cell phones allows me to do that real time. 

Nothing replaces a face to face interaction but technology definitely provides the next best thing!

fhfhfhf

I feel like I am supposed to say yes but I think I have to much discover in my own little universe to even imagine another.

What vacations would you most like to take in the next five years?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.

Ooh!  This is a good one.  Let's see.

1. Tazania - To climb Mount Kilimanjaro
2. Fiji or Tahiti - For an over the top beach vacation
3. El Salvador - To visit my friend Tammy and her family
4. Southern France - for obvious reasons and cuz I've never been there!

Um, I suppose that is enough for now :)

What challenges stand in the way of your ideal lifestyle? How are you working to overcome them?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.

Fear of failure and fear of change.  I am actively working on overcoming both but I need to try harder.   Someone push me off the ledge already!

What does your ideal lifestyle look like 10 years from now?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.

If I answer this, I need you all to promise that you won't hold it against me if it doesn't happen?  Okay?  Okay....

So 10 years from now I'd like to be healthy, happy and I want to look 10 years younger than I do now :)  Beyond that, I think a family would be nice and a successful career and allows me to continue to challenge myself and grow.   I'd also like to have enough money that I can travel a lot and take long vacations on the beach.  Is that too much to ask??

Hopefully flat shoes, comfortable jeans and cute dresses :)  My prediction for men however is that ties will be no more.
