Ready or Not Here I Come

HeatherLynn of Random Thoughts of a Restless Mind tagged me and I'm always up for answering some questions :o)

The 'rules' with this award/game is to answer the following questions, and add one more question to the roll before tagging others.  

I, MJ, am calling it a game, because I am boycotting awards.  I think there is too much stigma attached to awards.  We all are AWESOME in our own way and I don't want to contribute to the popularity contest!

Rules for those who are tagged: Respond and rework – answer these questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own, and add one more question to the list. Then tag some more and learn a little bit about your followers.

I would like to offer this up to anyone who would like to take on the challenge.  I would *heart* to know more about each and every one of you.  If you choose to do it, just let me know in the comments that way I can be sure to check out your answers (you have to understand, my head is like swiss cheese, and I am sometimes a bad blogger and do not get to go to everyones sites every.single.day.)

Love to all
MJ
