My cousin Rebecca sent this to me. I thought I'd share (& request!) what I found to be the most interesting of the batch, considering the answers I received back. Unfortinunately, you only get mine - until you share yours!
When you have the time, copy/paste in comments then change all the answers so that they apply to you.
Have fun and be truthful!
1. What is your occupation right now? Executive (that means I do the paperwork) wife & homeschooling mother, volunteer church librarian and home school support group leader
2. What was the last thing that you ate? oatmeal pancakes & sausage for supper
3. Can you drive a stick shift? No. Stan tried to teach me on his truck. Before the lesson I asked him if, aside from wrecking, it would be possible for me to do anything that would break his truck. He looked at me as if I were CRAZY and said "No." When I pressed all three pedals at the same time attempting to keep from rolling backwards into someone as I left an intersection with a stop sign and blew the muffler off, he told me I could never drive his truck again. I laughed all the way home. If you'd seen his face, you would have too.

3. Can you drive a stick shift? yes and i actually prefer a stick to an automatic. my parents both insisted i learn to drive a stick just in case there was an emergency and that was the only vehicle available. my dad was a great teacher-i learned to drive up and down our sloped driveway, which was the best way to get the feel of the clutch. i would get a car with a standard transmission now if my helicopter pilot husband could drive it too. but, alas, he can only operate a stick in the air where there are no defined traffic lanes and no stop lights or signs! (and no chewing gum at the same time!)

8. What is your favorite childhood memory? family vacations in vail, colorado where ALL the family would come to stay in a huge house and go rafting, hiking, horseback riding and cycling. we did this for two weeks every summer after we moved to florida in 1978. it was always great to see everyone and spend quality time with them.
9. What is on the floor of your closet? a box for goodwill stuff, shoe racks, a pile of flip flops and a laundry basket

I envy your "shift-i-ness" since I admit I am "shifter-challenged". Stan's right there with you though.
By any chance are you left-handed?
I am right handed, although my only cousin on my mom's side is left handed. (Does that count?) Oh, and Wyatt is deciding which "handed" he will be...seems to be favoring the left lately :)
