1. Full name?
Sandra Lynn Dodd (used to be Adams)
2. Were you named after anyone?
Not the Sandra—mom just liked it and said "it's not 'Sandy'." My dad's dad was Lynn Adams, no middle initial. Dad was Kirby Lynn Adams. Holly got the Lynn in our family, so she's the fourth "Lynn" but only my Papaw Adams was called "Lynn," not counting that in Texas I was "Sandra Lynn" to relatives.
3. Are you married?
Yes, 21 years, plus six years of living together before that.
4. When did you last cry?
Watching Desperate Housewives scene when Lynette is crying on the soccer field because she feels like a terrible mom and Bree and Susan tell her they were overwhelmed too, when their children were little. Lynette said something like "Why didn't you tell me? We need to tell each other these things." I got tears in my eyes and I felt myself holding my breath. And I had seen the scene before.
5. Do you like your handwriting?
Yes. I swiped the best parts from Joseph Garcia's writing in high school. His was better, but it helped mine.

Can't decide; not particular. Fish sandwich at Burger King is nice. Curry chicken salad from Raley's is great.

Maybe Golden Pride, with someone else to hang out and talk to. Company makes lunch nice.

Update ten years later. I've been farther than Bridlington now. Netherlands, France, Portugal, India. Australia. Big ten years, for me, for travelling. Stayed with friends everywhere, and one was Schuyler from whose blog I lifted the questions above. I've stayed with her family in Carleton Rode, Norfolk, UK, and near Gold Coast, Australia.
