"20 questions"

Joy posted on her blog:



1 Were you named after anyone?
My first name starts with the letter L in honor of my Mom's Uncle Louis. I never met him, but she and her cousins still rave about how amazing he was.

2 Do you like your own handwriting?
When I'm taking my time, yes. When I'm rushing (which is usually the case) absolutely not!

3 What would your superpower be if you could choose one?
I would definitely choose to pause time. When I get in confrontational or stressful situations it takes me a little while to figure out how I feel about whatever is going on. I can be kind of frustrating. After the fact, I'm always finding myself saying "I should have said THAT!". I'd be a great person to have around after an emergency. : )

4 Are you an Optimist or Pessimist?
Optimist to a fault. I always see the good in people before I see the bad.

5 What do you collect?
Nothing. I hate clutter.
6 What are your favorite smells?
My husband's cologne, clean sheets, and anything baking in the oven.

7 Coffee or Tea?
Coffee in the morning is a necessity in my day. Green tea at night.

8 Wine or Beer?
Wine to relax, beer during football. I'm a big fan of both though and would never discriminate if one weren't available. : )

9 What is the best thing you've ever eaten? (Where?)
Mac and Cheese at a restaurant in DC while my Dad and I were visiting my sister. It had Gruyere and truffle oil in it and I still dream about it. I brought home leftovers only to have my Dad eat them as a midnight snack. Too bad..they would have been such a good breakfast!

10 Mac or PC?
Mac. Their operating system is so much easier for me to understand. Although I can make my way around a PC if I need to.

11 What are you listening to right now?
I drove 5 hours today and I listened to NPR the entire time. What a nerd!

12 What career would you pursue in another life?
Animator. I wish I could draw!!

13 What sound or noise to you love?
My dog howling along with fire trucks.

14 What sound or noise do you hate?
Anything too loud. I have sensitive hearing. : )

15 Mountains or Beach?
Mountains. I miss skiing!!

16 Cook or Bake?
Hands down bake. I can't remember a childhood Christmas where I didn't bake cookies with my mom. I still use most of the same Christmas Cookie recipes that my mom used. You also don't get to lick the bowl after you prepare a good meal.

17 Do you go to restaurants and movies by yourself?
Restaurants, no. Movies, yes! I love going to the movies by myself.

18 A Waitress spills a tray of food by your table. You are with a small group. What’s your first instinct?
Try and help her. I hate it when people clap. I thankfully never dropped anything when I was waiting tables, but I'm sure it would have been mortifying.

19 What is your favorite fairy tale?
Beauty and the Beast. She was the only princess who took her destiny into her own hands and saved her prince instead of the other way around Girl Power!

20 What would you tell the 13 year old you?
Embrace the nerd that you are. It will make you so much more interesting and empathetic fifteen years from now.


Lisa Goldstein is such a gem. She has been working on One Tree Hill with me for... 4 years now? I have always been impressed with her professionalism, willingness to learn and her genuine wonder about life. She's fun to watch on camera and I'm dying to see her on stage. She has a great singing voice and is a musical theatre-kid like me. She is also incredibly kind hearted, intelligent and humble. I'm so grateful to call her friend.

Lisa was recently married and currently lives in Florida with her husband. I can't wait to see what's next for the lovely Lisa...
