Well, our family had one of those bag phones that could only be used in the car. We got that when I was in high school. I got my first real cell phone around 18 or 19.
Favorite book:
“Where the Wild Things Are” – who doesn't love a wild rumpus every now and then?

Reading, running and spending time with my husband and kids
First car:
Oldsmobile Delta 88! A big ol' tank of a car.
If you could go back in time and live during a different era, which would you choose?
The '60s – love the music, the styles, and I probably would've gone to Woodstock.
What was your first paying job?
I worked in a pediatric clinic one summer helping organize patient files and get them updated. This is pre-EMR, people! We had hundreds of manila folders to sort through.
What TV show are you embarrassed about watching?
I don't really have one that I'm embarrassed to watch since we don't have cable. But I love to watch the sci-fi type shows – like “Grimm”! But...I did give in to the “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” hype and watched one episode online. I was instantly reminded why we don’t have cable.
What was the first concert you went to see?
New Kids on the Block, baby! I even made a sign professing my love for Joey McIntyre.
If you were an Olympic athlete, in what sport would you compete?
Track & field. Or soccer.

Raw oysters
