1. Who is your favorite "Joe/Jo" and what can you tell us about him or her? me..lol I have the nickname of "Jo" by my friends. Ok, so my favorite Joe would be my husbands Uncle Joe. He is such a fun guy to be around. Everyone needs and Uncle Joe!

2. Who were you named for and do you or did you know that person? I think I remember a time or two my mother saying I was named after someone, but don't really recall

3. Do you have a middle name and do you like it/use it? My middle name is Lee, and I don't use it other than on legal things

4. Have you ever named your car? Tell us about it, please! I have not. My hubs has named his "Chellie"... and I have probably spelled it wrong... "her" and I don't see eye to eye.. lol... She is a very tempermental thing... and being red heads we seem to clash.. lol

5. Tell us the name of a fictional character you have never forgotten and why you remember it so well. Pippy Longstocking. I loved watching the show back in the day. She was just a fun quirky girl.

6. Share something random with us about your week. I have received out of the blue 2 different emails in the last few days from 2 different companies asking if I want to interview with them. One being from a company I interviewed with a few years back, and this new one from an insurance company who reached out from my linkedin account. The first one I am not sure I want to reinterview, as I know its full time and not an option of at home work. The 2nd one, while I am sure its full time, I believe its quite possible an at home/travel job. I have a tentative interview this coming Thursday at 10. Just not quite sureI I am ready to go full time. I like only working 3 days a week and having my 4 day weekend. We shall see. If the $$ is right, I may make a job change.
