1. What's been the best day of your life so far and why? Right off the bat, a stumper. I have lots of days that have been absolutely great, and I can't possibly pick just one. Here's but a few: the day I married Mr. Williams. I was young and crazy and loved him to death. The day night we pulled into Pasadena and smelled the roses. The night I met my soon to be inlaws. The day Spikey was handed to me. The day I realized THIS divorce was a blessing instead of a bad thing. And today, I am going to make it one of the best days of my life so far!!

2. Describe your first kiss, who was it with, what was it like, where was it etc.? My first kiss as a date was in about 1975 with my (duh) boyfriend, on my front porch (I think?) and it wasn't anything to write home about.

3. What's your biggest regret? I know we all say we don't regret things but obviously it's how we learn, from our mistakes. So what's something from your past you wished you could have changed? That I was married TWICE

4. When was the last time you laughed so hard that tears fell from your face and what was it at? Oh my gosh, at the wedding this weekend. Nothing NOT ONE THING AT ALL keeps a smile on my face like a weekend with family. nothing.

5. What is the craziest thing that you have ever done? I'm not known for sanity. Probably the craziest recent thing is believing things that I knew weren't true, and not going with my gut.
