Awe, your dog is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I could have one super power what would it be? The ability to heal...

If you could plan your wedding with an unlimited budget, what details would you include?

Without going into great detail, I would keep it elegant & small. I think it would be great fun to have a group of 20-30 friends fly (or sail) to a fabulous destination where the ceremony would take place -- somewhere tropical like St. Lucia or somewhere European like Paris. Have a simple ceremony and then a reception with a 5 course meal complete with great wines. Let's see...let's end the evening with fireworks!

What if...you could attend any major sporting event? What would you choose and why?

I would like to see the Olympics, no particular event though I love figure skating......I watched Michelle Kwan win the US Championship in 2000 when Sasha Cohen was really just coming up and it was sooo cool.

Questions: If you could go back and re-live any one year of your life forever and ever, which year would it be and why?

I'd probably re-live my freshman year in college, but I dont' think I could do that forever and ever. I would, however, re-do college with my 20/20 hindsight vision.

Would you ever enter a beauty pagent? Would you let your daughter enter one if she wanted to?

I almost did enter a beauty pagaent three years ago. I used to volunteer for the Miss Omaha/Miss Douglas County Pagaent which is part of the Miss America Organization. The only thing stopping me was time. I didn't feel I had enough time to devote to it and not enough time to get a talent ready and get in prime physical shape (cuz let's face it, I am not walking out onto a stage in a swimsuit unless I look DAMN good) ;)

Would I let my future daughter enter one...yes, but not until she was older. I do not feel it's right to enter small children and teens in beauty pagaents. And furthermore, I'd only participate in Miss America Organization because they do give out scholarships and base results on more than just looks...like you have to have a platform, good grades, good interview, etc.

If you could shop at any big name store in the US, where would you shop and what would you buy there? (for fun, let's say you had a thousand bucks to spend).

If I could shop anywhere I'd march straight into the Louis Vuitton boutique in Vegas and buy the complete set of luggage.......unfortunately that thou wouldn't go very far. I am getting a Keepall before I start my summer travels and I will definitely be sporting it at Convention!!!!!!! But I want the whole shebang!!!! And I'd love to get it all at once rather than collecting piece by piece, which is what I will be doing for now!

If you could look into the future - to see who you were going to marry or how many kids you were going to have or even when and how you would die - would you?

* bump *

No...I think I would be too paranoid and worried all the time about the bad things that would happen, to really enjoy living my life.

If you could choose, would you rather be an amazing artist or an amazing author?

I am no where close to being either one of these and I do wish I was a better artist and a better writer, but if I could chose to be amazing at one I think it would be art.

If you could be the President or the First Lady which would you pick and why?

I would be President because if I were First Lady I wouldn't want the president taking credit for my brilliant ideas!!

If you could, would you take a shuttle to space and why?

If I could I think I would take a shuttle to space. I hate to fly and I'm terrified of heights, but how could I ever forgive myself for giving up such an awesome opportunity?

If you could own your own store (and you didn't have to worry about it being profitable) what would you sell?

I'd own a high-end luxury good schmorgasborg!!!

Jewelry, clothes, alligator purses... Actually, why stop at one store? I'd own many!

If you could plan the most opulent vacation, where would you go? What would you do?

I think I would go somewhere warm and sunny like the Caribbean or Hawaii. I know that doesn't sound very original or extravagant, but I have never been to a place like that. I would want to go for at least two weeks and stay in the nicest hotel or resort possible. I'd drink yummy drinks by the pool and beach, spend a day at the spa, go snorkling and parasailing (isn't that where you're behind a boat?). I'd also eats tons of yummy food. The rest of the time I'd spend lounging in the sun and catching up on reading.

If you could meet any of our "famous" alum who would choose and why?
