What is your idea of perfect happiness? I’m not sure on this one.  I like to think I haven’t experienced perfect happiness yet and the best is still ahead of me.
 
What is your greatest fear? a world without my loved ones (or naps)
 
What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? I don't really deplore anything about myself.  If I disliked anything about myself that much, I probably would change it.
 
What is the trait you most deplore in others? Dishonesty towards themselves and others.
 
Which living person do you most admire? So many choices.... My parents for their selflessness, my sisters for their high tolerance of me, and my friends for committing to being fabulous no matter what life throws at them.
 
What is your greatest extravagance? The perfect shade of MAC lipgloss paired with a fabulous pair of sunglasses (the bigger the better)
 
What is your current state of mind? Stress- this questionnaire stresses me out... serious or funny? What if I try to be funny and no one gets it and just thinks I’m the Real Strange YP of Reno County?
 
What is the quality you most like in a man? a sense of humor and the lack of a fauxhawk (If you can't commit to a hairstyle, you can't commit to me.)
 
What is the quality you most like in a woman? a fabulous pair of shoes
 
Which words or phrases do you most overuse? Let's see if we can get them all together into one sentence. No, no, I really feel like your shenanigans have made you a bit of a hot mess. I also feel like I use the words ice, ibuprofen, and stretch more than the average person.
 
When and where were you happiest? Spring 2009, sitting outside Radina's Coffeehouse in Manhattan, KS with an amazing non-fat chai tea latte and my fabulous friend Mel people watching and pondering what life post-Manhattan held for us.
 
Who are your favorite writers? Two words. Chelsea. Handler. With her sarcasm and wit, I secretly feel like we'd be best friends in real life.
 
Which talent would you most like to have? X-ray and MRI vision would make my life far easier and, let's be honest, a little more interesting. 
 
Who is your favorite hero of fiction? Jem off Jem and the Rockers because she was blonde, a rockstar, and didn't put up with any shenanigans.
 
Who are your heroes in real life? My parents.  They are definitely the best parents around.
 
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Staying true to who I am and what I believe in
 
Where would you like to live? Right now, I’m pretty happy where I’m at.  I love my job and get to live close to my whole family.  Pretty ideal really!
 
What is your most treasured possession? My athletic training fanny pack. Who knew something so handy could be that trendy? Really, it is the probably the one possession that followed me all six years of school and is still used on a weekly basis (no matter how awkward and unfortunate looking it may be).
 
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Living your life to impress others
 
What do you most value in your friends? Their honesty. Also, I always know they have my best interest at heart.  Plus, they provide quality entertainment.
 
What are your favorite names? I'm not sure what this means. I'm partial to Katie, but anything besides Trainer Girl works for me.
 
What is it that you most dislike?  I hate it when any of my athletes get injured.  The disappointment that follows an injury is almost more difficult than the physical injury.
 
What is your greatest regret? No regrets. Everything is a learning experience.  Well, I did have a bit of a bowlcut at one point in my childhood and I feel like very little was learned from that experience so there’s a regret maybe.
 
How would you like to die? Old and sleepy
 
What is your motto? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
