I joined TOOLS because:
 I want to find some way to help organize my thoughts, activities, life, purpose, etc. I'm at the midlife crisis stage of defining what my goals for the future are so I have an idea of what I'm working towards.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 No idea right now. I like the work I do now, but it used to be something I was passionate about. Probably allowed my job to consume too much of me. I changed employers a couple of years ago, but I do the same type of work, just with a different employer.
My favorite wild animal is:
 Various song birds - not very wild!
Why (describe as much as possible):
 Peaceful and generally keep a low profile, yet some are brightly colored & have beautiful songs. Birds are able to make a comfortable home where ever they are, or they're free to fly away.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Malti-poo!
Why:
 I have a best friend who's a malti-poo!
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 A menu containing only food items and seasonings that I could grow/raise at my own garden/farm.
Why:
 So that I could experience a new way of preparing food that would be readily accessible to me and my family.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 My aunt Aggie, my friend Janice, Mother Theresa, Thomas Jefferson, my great, great, great grandmother Jackson
Why:
 My Aunt Aggie and my friend Janice were people who taught me so many things about how to get along in life and how to forge ahead and tackle almost any challenge. They were very motivating people who made me feel so strong and confident. Mother Theresa stands out as someone who was the most self giving woman in history, and I would like to become more like that. Thomas Jefferson was brilliant in his planning of buildings, gardens, educational systems, weather measurements, etc. I was fascinated by the details of his home (Monticello) when I visited there with my daughter's 5th grade class a while back. I would be very excited to visit with him. My cousin and I have recently begun researching our family tree, and my great, great, great grandmother seems like she was a kind and hard working person who was well loved. I would love to meet her.
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 Ireland. Looks beautiful in pictures and movies, and my family originated from there.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 Thin crust, lots of sauce and cheese and lots of veggies (except black olives!). Pepperoni in small pieces, sausage finely ground.
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 Fuzzy Navel or frozen Strawberry Daquiri (or any fruity, refreshing drink that doesn't taste much like alcohol)
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 Hazelhut latte sugar free
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 Holistic health, happiness and wealth for everyone.
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band Nine Tonight, The Beatles 1, Eagles Greatest Hits
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 Open a gas station/convenience store/diner combo that's open 24 hrs(or close to that) to provide for those needs as well as a gathering place for people of the community to visit regularly.
A sunset I remember:
 Walking in the country with friends and family and watching the sunset near my house.
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 Annie Camden
Why:
 She was a role model of a good mom, wife, teacher, community member and she had a can-do, not afraid to tackle any task, positive attitude. She was happy with her life and she gave 110% effort to whatever task she undertook, completing it with pride. She was intelligent and able to have a good time socially with friends, she could figure out how to fix things, learn new things like how to play the piano, and was a normal person who did some things she shouldn't have when she was a teenager and could identify with a wide variety of people.
