I love wearing pajamas in the house. That's my favorite comfort item. I dont have a favorite blanket but use one often because my cat likes to cuddle with me if I have one.

favorite decorative items in my house are my kimono - it's red, silver, and gold and hangs on the wall in my house. I also love the print we have up in Amy's room.

what was your first job?

what's your favorite fast food chain?

Heights. It comes from my most memorable family vacation. We went to Zermatt and the Matterhorn and I was running down part of the mountain and couldn't stop. I was about 5 at the time? There was a cliff edge and someone managed to catch me before I hit it. They told me they were just there becauase they felt like it. Had never left the US before but felt they needed to go to Switzerland. My brother and I are the only ones that remember this vacation though

I'd rather wash dishes. And do, rather regularly. Vacuuming the house is easy though because we have a roomba.

I have friends that call me kitty cat. I think that's as cute as it gets

I can't go without talking to my husband. He's my rock

My first job was as a camp counselor at a summer day camp. Unless you count cleaning up pinecones for my grandmother for a quarter a bag

Hmm... I had some matcha white bean paste the other day; might try to get that in mochi one of these days. Homemade ftw lol.

My favourite filling was probably chestnut paste because YUMMMMMMM, but I could be down with sakura-based stuff. Cherry-flavoured items are usually either amazing or terrible for my tastes.

Chestnut mochi is my husband's favorite so we buy it pre-made somewhat regularly.

I'm proud of my clinic. I worked really hard from ground zero to make a practice and we're profitable. I'm proud of my veterinary degree. It was a rough go and vet school is hard. There were times I didn't think I'd make it. And I'm proud of my choice in life partner

I guess I misanswered this question. But I think passing vet school and having a successful business have surprised me. And when i was younger, i never expected to get married. I thought I was too weird to find someone that fit with me.

I don't have a top 5 books, but I love the Assassin books by Robin Hobb, Belgariad by David Eddings. A wrinkle in time by L'engle. Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury. Enchantment by orson scott card

I dont know about a controversial opinion tbh. Probably that I support capital punishment

I think the vet I shadowed in middle school had the biggest impact on me. Her and Paula Danziger (children's author who helped me with bullying issues). I turned my life around in the 7th grade. Was having issues evreywhere, battling depression, etc. By 8th grade I was a straight A student and wasnt bullied anymore. Part of it was taking a Johns Hopkins CAA course over the summer. Some of it was my older brother finally moving away.

what's the most surprising thing about parenthood so far?

i know you tried fried pickles during pregnancy, but did you get any other unusual food cravings?

do you like to wear socks or be barefoot around the house?

toilet paper: over or under?

Most surprising thing is that you don't always feel instant connection to the baby. It took a week or two for me to really fall head over heels for her

I didnt get other unusual cravings. Just sushi cravings (which is normal for me)

I walk around barefoot

toiler paper is always over. Under is for anarchists

Thanks for what you do. You probably don’t get that enough from the animals, who probably never want to see you again.
Do you ever feel like you can communicate to an animal before manhandling it and get the distinct impression that it knows you’re trying to help it?

i certainly do my best to be a calming influence on animals before I touch them. I speak in a calming tone and go slow with them - I let them set the pace for the most part and I think most know I'm not trying to hurt them

Did you always know you wanted to be a vet, or did you happen into the profession?
Which is the best Spice (girl or topping, your choice)?
Small intestine or large intestine?
Do you think income tax should be built into the price that you see in stores or have it be a surprise at the register?
Are there certain animals you get in your care that you immediately have to steel yourself against? Like, for instance, a barky chihuahua or a an erotic animal?

I've wanted to be a vet since I knew what one was. So around 4-5 years old. Before that I wanted to be a singer (we're all glad that hasn't panned out )

Best spice is cinnamon for its versatility. I didn't really like the spice girls that much so have no idea which one I like most.

Small intestine. Large intestine is harder to heal if you have to fish something out of it

Tax should be built into the price. They did that in Singapore and I really liked being able to know without doing a lot of math exactly how much I owed. Hell I think the government should do our taxes for us, too. Instead of asking us to do them and checking if we lied.

I hate seeing german shepherds. They are the most anxious dogs and have no bite inhibition. I also hate seeing shar peis. They're usually just mean and they have a lot of issues.

now that you're a parent, is there anything you know you will significantly do differently than your parents with amy?

not really. I do want my husband to spend more time with her than my dad spent with me. he was on business trips all the time and I rarely saw him until i was a teenager. And I want to be more supportive about any lgbtqia+ issues than my parents were.
