|
| Say hello to Morgan!
|
| Would you rather go to a concert or a musical?
|
| I love concerts. I usually go to a few each year.
|
| Are you a cat or dog person, and why?
|
| Cat person. I grew up with cats and have my own girl now, Rosie, whom I’ve definitely mentioned in past newsletters. I just love how chill cats are. Dogs are super cute and sweet, but they’re very overwhelming to me with the loud barks, jumping all around, smelly breath, face licks, and not quite respecting personal space. (Dog lovers, please don’t come for me!)
|
| I could talk your ear off about …
|
| Video games.
|
| What can you be found doing after you log off from work?
|
| Hitting a thrift store, going for a walk, taking a Pilates class, grabbing dinner with a friend, playing video games, or lounging around my home.
|
| What’s your biggest pet peeve?
|
| When people talk with food in their mouth or chew with their mouth open. Yuck.
|
| What’s your favorite and least favorite chore?
|
| I actually really enjoy doing laundry. I don’t have a washer or dryer in my apartment or building, though, so I have to go to the laundromat, which makes the chore a zillion times worse. So I guess it’s my favorite and least favorite chore right now.
|
| Do you have any unique family or personal traditions?
|
| Every August or September, my dad and I go to a local peach farm back where I grew up to get a bag of fresh peaches. We’ll eat one while sitting in the bed of his pickup truck, talking about life and enjoying the farm views.
|
| Do you think you could survive a zombie apocalypse?
|
| Nope. No chance. I’d be a goner.
