What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble? 

Procrastination.  It's been my downfall since elementary school and I'm hoping that some day I'll be better at controlling it.

How do you feel about your birthday?  Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?

I'm actually rather indifferent to my birthday for the most part.  If someone asks, I tell them when it is, but I don't go around announcing it and expecting people to make a big deal out of it.  I like to receive cards in the mail from my family, and I expect my husband to plan something nice (even if it's just pizza and a movie at home, I want him to plan it out), but other than that I don't expect any fanfare for my birthday.

The seventh season of "American Idol" premieres tonight.  Will you be watching, or are you over it?

I was over it before it even started.  I have never watched more than a few minutes of American Idol - I don't see why I should start now.

What's your alma mater?

Cmuseal

I attended and graduated from Central Michigan University.  Changed my major several times and finally settled on Child Development with an emphasis in Early Childhood.  I want to go back to school and get a teaching certificate, but I also would love to have a History or English degree (or both) - because those are my passions.

My husband also got his Bachelor's Degree from CMU, and is currently working on his Master's at CMU.  I can't wait until he's finished so he can work and I can go back to school.

Here in Michigan, the school fairly well known, but outside of Michigan most people have never heard of it.  Although, it has gotten some press lately thanks to the show "Little People, Big World" since Amy Roloff is an alumnae of CMU and came back to give a speech last spring.

What video game is your personal Game of the Year? 
Submitted by SimpleNate.

I spent the majority of my video gaming time playing either Sims2 or Kingdom Hearts.  Yes, they're both old games, but I enjoy them both and have a lot of fun with them.
