Tagged!

My buddy, Kathi over at Lotus Palace tagged me with this questionnaire so here are my answers! :-)

Rules:
1. Respond and rework: Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention, add one more question of your own.
2. Tag eight other people.
