5. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? Fear of failing…….which creates a lack of confidence in my own ability……even in areas where I think I do a pretty good job, I always see the areas where others are more thorough and detail specific….details are not my strength.
6. What is your idea of perfect happiness? Health….time to be with the ones I love including my pets….friends who take you for who you are…..the means to do what I want to do…..

12. What is your greatest extravagance? Not worrying about money or where it is coming from…..when I should
13. On what occasion do you lie? I try not to lie….at one time I thought that would help or soften the moment…it does just the opposite….so lying never works….at least not for me.
14. What do you dislike most about your appearance? Too short……
15. Which words or phrases do you most overuse? Probably the word “so”….seems like a good filler…..in terms of phrases…not sure if over used but one of my favorites is…”so what’s the worst that can happen”…..
