I confess: I love these. Thanks, Helen; I replied to her personally, but I'll post the answers here, too; if you have a blog, answer these in your own blog and I'll check them out.
1. FIRST NAME
Cindy
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Maybe the song (Get along home, Cindy, Cindy? How embarrassing ...)
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
Reading to Sylvia, "By the Shores of Silver Lake," when Jack the dog dies, last week
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Sometimes; it could be worse. But even my friends tell me it can be hard to read.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Roast beef. Yet I order chicken salad when I eat out. But I rarely eat sandwiches these days.
6. KIDS?
Yes, 3. Alison is 15, a freshman, loves theatre, Tae Kwon Do, and whatever her current passion is, which occupies her 110 percent (at present: Greek Mythology). Madeleine is 12, sixth grade, loves middle school, plays flute, is very social, quite the fashionista. Sylvia is 8, second grade, loves her friends, Brownies, soccer, is very easy going, still a little girl.
7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I think so.
8. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?
Yes, but it's kept up very sporadically. These days I have a blog, but it isn't the same as a journal. Not nearly as honest; some stuff you just can't blog about.
9. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?
Not me ...
10. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes. Though my mother dragged me to every doctor in town to get them removed; it wasn't the trend at the time, so they remain.
11. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Don't know; I rappelled in high school and it was amazing.
12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Never eat it. Grape Nuts if you force the issue. Does instant oatmeal count? Apples & Cinnamon. Mmm.
13. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Yes. I try to put them away, with varied success.

I hope so. I'm not sure I've truly been tested; let's keep it that way for a while.

Dark chocolate. Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie. Haven't bought it in ages, for good reason.

Red. Maybe pink? AAAHH — can't decide.
