Home of Slightly Cracked Dreams

I stuck my hand up over at Lightening’s blog to have her send me 5 interview questions for me to answer here on my blog. She didn’t disappoint with the questions, so I guess now I’ve got to answer them.

1. If you were Prime Minister of Australia for a day, what one thing would you want to change/implement?

This is kind of cheating, but it’s something I’ve felt for a long time, but the one thing I would change would be the constitution. It generally has served us well, but we really need to update it to reflect how our government actually works as opposed to how people over 100 years ago thought it would. It would also give us the opportunity to centralise things like health and education to ensure we’re getting the best we can and reduce the beaurocracy associated with these things. And going on further we could also do things like become a republic (if we so chose) and include certain freedoms within the constitution.

2. What is your favourite thing about Parenthood?

Ooh, that’s tough. Is it a cop out to say my kids? They are so wonderful, funny, innocent, caring and beautiful, I can’t imagine life without them. I don’t write about them a lot on my blog because my blog isn’t about them, but if I had to pick one thing it would be them all joining us in bed in the morning for some pre-breakfast cuddles. I did it with my parents as we got older and it was a wonderful time of the day when everyone was well rested, happy and content just to be with each other. Or start a tickle/pillow fight. But I wouldn’t do that to my kids. Much.

3. If you were evacuated to Mars and could only take 5 things (not including people), what would you take?

Another tough one. I place a fairly low value on my “things” so there’s not much I would worry about. Having said that I would be lost without my laptop, so we’ll say that’s number one. A box of books, number two. Beyond that I have no idea. I would say things like my cross-stitch, mobile phone and my kitchenaid, but really, I could live without them without stressing too much.

4. What is your favourite recipe?

Favourite?  I would have to say my chocolate rum balls - love em!

5. If you found a “genie in a bottle”, what would your 3 wishes be?

Another tricky one. Do I be ultruistic and ask for things for everyone? Or selfish and ask for things for me? If I was selfish I’d want enough money for me and my family to live comfortably without working, for my family to enjoy good health, and a packet of tim tams that never runs out. Ha. But if not, I would want all the religions of the world to settle their differences once and for all, enough food and shelter for everyone, and then I’d reverse global warming

If you’d like to get involved, all you have to do is put your hand up (via the comments section or contact form) and I’ll send you 5 questions for you to answer on your own blog. Once you’ve done that, you also include the offer to interview any of your readers and that way the meme goes on and on and on (as memes have a tendency to do). If you don’t have your own blog and would like to participate, let me know and I’ll publish your interview here on my blog.
