Not a radio voice

QUESTION: What is one field or profession that you never pursued, but that you think you probably would have been quite good at?

Thats a very good question....

Back with the Future

QUESTION: Through the use of a time machine, you are traveling back to the year 1850. You may take with you one, and only one, product or invention from the modern era. What would you take with you to impress and awe our forebears?

This is tricky. It has to be something that can be used there. Sure I would love to show them the sewing machine, but what would I plug it into? It wouldn't work and my plan would be spoiled. So its something that can function all on its own. I think there are 2 things that would create quite a stir and would be fun.

1. The bra
2. The digital camera.

When it comes down to it I would take the digital camera for 2 reasons. 1 to awe the forebears and 2. to take a picture of me in 1850!

GLORIOUS

QUESTION: When was the last time you laughed so hard that you cried?

This weekend! We were at a ward talent show and let me tell you, MY WARDS GOT TALENT! A group made a music video that was incredibly cheesy and entertaining!! IT was to the song, total eclipse of the heart. Pure genious!! It should be on youtube later today so I will have to post the link for all to enjoy! :)

If you can't pass through it go over, around, and under.

QUESTION: Some are high, some are low; some are long, some are short; some are old, some are new. In all your travels, what is the most awe-inspiring bridge you have ever crossed?

Well believe it or not in my MANY (har-har) travels I don't think I have crossed OVER too many bridges. They have been more going UNDER and THROUGH whatever it was that needed to be crossed.

My 2 favorite were the Suez Canal in EGYPT

and the Zion national park Tunnel which is 1.1 miles long! This was really cool because there were windows everynow and again that you could look out. from your car as you were driving past that is. I would love to go back.

Been there, Done that!

QUESTION: Aside from an family occurrence (marriage, special anniversary, birth of a child, etc), what event or accomplishment would you consider to be the highlight of your life thus far?

I WENT TO EGYPT!! How many Americans can say that? I know for Europeans it is more common but not for people on my side of the world. I feel truly blessed to have had that experience! It is one that I will always remember with feelings of happiness! I would love to go back one day. This was a goal that I had for many years and it was a great accomplishment. Somedays I think to myself, HOLY COW, you have been to egypt, that's cool. It is almost unreal sometimes. I feel that trip opened the doors of travel to me and I feel like I could go anywhere and experience anything. I am already dreaming of my trip to Australia next year. :) Wanna come along?

TOP SECRET

QUESTION: If you HAD to change your first name, what would you choose as your new name?

When I was little I always wanted to change my name to Cynthia. I LOVED that name and I swore that when I had my first little girl that would be her name. Now, not so much! :)

If I HAD to change my name because I witnessed a murder and the aliens were after me to steal my brain and make me eat cheese for the rest of my life I would change my name to Jordyn. SSSHHHHHH don't tell them my secret! :)

QUESTION: If a local radio station offered to let you have your own 30-minute show each weekday morning, what type of show would you have?

Just something that played music! I HATE listening to all the crap on in the mornings. I don't care about what the celebrities are doing. I don't care about the TV shows that I didn't watch. I just want to hear upbeat music that pumps me up for the day. It would be called, Wake up with Mern.

I am me

QUESTION: What is the greatest lesson in life you have ever learned?

Don't put twinkies on your pizza. - oh wait, thats just a line from the film Heavyweights. :)

My greatest lesson is don't put limitations on yourself. Be who you want to be and do what you want to do. Wear what you want to wear. Don't say, I can wear that because its not not me. MAKE IT YOU! I can't be friends with them because they are too cool for me, YOU ARE COOL ENOUGH!

Just for me.

QUESTION: Whenever you are having a bad day, what is the best thing you can do to help cheer yourself up.

There are many things that cheer me up. I am pretty easy to please.

Doing a craft
Eating dinner out
working out
Getting to bed early
Bubble Bath
eye brow wax and pedicure

And if I do all those things in 1 day its a VERY VERY good day. :)

I gotta know.

QUESTION: If you could know without a shadow of a doubt the answer to one question that has always troubled you, what question would you want to have answered once and for all?

WHAT CAME FIRST? THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?!?!?!

The ant's go marching.

QUESTION: If you were completely blind but could somehow see for just one hour each month, how would you most often spend that time?

Outside at a picnic with my family!
