Inter-View - a peek at the deeper thoughts of BP!

Well here it is (finally!) - the INTERVIEW with the wonderfully talented question-asker

VANESSA NORDSTROM!

1) If you could change 1 thing about the world what would it be.

Well, of course there are the obvious answers like "world peace" and "cure for cancer" and such... but I don't want to mess with the "greater plan". (If there was a cure for cancer I wouldn't be learning all these wonderful things! My life wouldn't be changing for the better!) So... if I were to pick some random thing out of a hat it would be...

da da da!

Hybrid Cars! Yes... that's a good one! Every car on the planet would be hybrid!

But then again when I think about the possible side affects of that I can see that the Alberta Economy would probably crash due to the lack of Oil sales... and that would cause them to spend less money in BC... and that would mean that my house would loose value because of the lack of Alberta spending in the Comox Valley...

You see... this is a very hard question :)

2) Would you ever donate an organ? If so, which ones.

YEPPERS! ALL OF EM'

I want to be cremated. The idea of dressing up my dead body and putting in a pretty box and burying it is totally gross. Burn up whats left of my earth shell and then toss it in the ocean!

I think the idea of helping others LIVE with the use of my earth shell is totally cool!

3) How many consecutive days of rain would it take for you to go crazy and book a week long trip to Mexico?

Lets just put it this way. Our last holiday was to BANFF in the WINTER. We did that to escape the rain! I'm not a huge fan of super hot places. It makes me LAZY... I'd rather go somewhere where I can move around a little.

I'd like to go to New Zealand again. 365 days of rain here would make us pack up our whole LIFE and move there forever.

4) Are there days when you would trade being a mother for something else? What would you trade for?

Yes there were days. Those days were during the first 3 months when little Ruthie was barfing like... 15 times a day. I ALWAYS smelled of puke. My house smelled of puke. It was nasty. She also had colic... we were at our WITS END... every night.

it stresses me out just thinking about it!

Some of those days I wished that it was just Joe and I were enjoying a normal first year of marriage - sans baby.

However, had Ruthie not come into our lives things would be VERY different.

5) Who is your favourite musician? What is the most amount of money you would you pay to see him/her perform live?

JOSH GARRELS!

It's not so much the money... its the hassle of convincing Joe that it's a GREAT IDEA and then getting everyone OUT THE DOOR and to the STATES (hopefully somewhere nearer than far!) to enjoy 3 hours or so of live music. I'd pay the money (if I had it!) but I don't think I'd pay the stress toll.

For now I'll just watch "live" here.

THANKS NESSY! hmmmmmmmm now who am I going to tag for an interview? I think it will be STACEY!

Here are some photos from the week Vanessa kept me company. She's a sweet photo-gopher!
