One thing I never want to do again: Buy a car the same day I test drive it.

If I were a fictional heroine: Jane Jetson. She’s an everyday super mom!

The best thing I ever won: A four-year scholarship to college (until that moment I had not planned on being able to go).

My favorite body part: Hands…hand holding, hand shaking, hands working together…
and hands attached to arms that give great hugs!

I can’t live without: Old Levi jeans, big sweatshirts, my weathered T-shirt, caramel
milkshakes, Clark shoes, and a good book.

The world would be a better place, if only: Everyone had to work retail for one day,
 volunteer at a nursing home and a humane shelter, and rock a child to sleep.

I wish I’d known: To make EVERY moment matter and count for something.

Whose diary would you most like to read? My daughter’s or Sally Fields’…both amazing gals!

The most important thing I ever lost: My mom to Alzheimer’s.

My family: My husband of 25 years, Jeff Marsh and children Kaleb and Karson.

My favorite possession: Two rings—both gifts from my husband in honor of our two children. 

I’m thinking about: What I can do for my daughter’s Sweet 16 that would blow her mind!

If I could be totally wild, I would: Fly to New York and catch every Broadway show possible with my best friend.

If I could do it all over again: I would have done a better job keeping in touch with my college girlfriends.
