Feast One Hundred and Fifty Eight

Appetizer
Who is the easiest person for you to talk to?

Well, the easiest person is of course my husband, who just knows me better than anyone. I am probably myself more with him than anyone else. And probably in the "not my husband" category, it would have to be Suz. She is a very reciprocal conversationalist, a great listener and there is always a lot of laughter and I always feel comfortable with all my quirks when I talk to these two.

If you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose?

I will have to piggyback on Terri's answer here with Ancient Egypt. All of those Discovery shows about Ancient Egypt are just so fascinating. I would also love to see the Incan culture too.

What is the most exciting event you’ve ever witnessed?

The very first time seeing each of my son's ultrasounds-where they were so tiny but we saw those little heartbeats going and our hearts flip-flopped too.

If you were a celebrity, what would you do for a publicity stunt?

I am not big into stunts of any kind. Hard to answer this question.

What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child?

Well, that truly depends on the person. I can only answer for myself. And I'll say that I certainly saw myself having children much younger than I did, as many women tend to compartmentalize life events into ages. However, having the time to complete my education, spend time with my husband as a couple and growing up a lot, I was in a good place for starting a family after 30. I have had time to see how I want to parent (and not parent) and I have never had a single regret about having my children over the age of 30. I will say that I don't think I would consider having more children as I get too much older, at least for me, it was a huge physical demand on my body to be pregnant and to recover well. I have met moms young and older who are wonderful parents, so again it depends on the woman.
