Hi Lauren! Thanks for doing this. Okay, so the last time we saw each other was I believe in Austin, wasn’t it? We had our tables right next to each other at Austin Book Fest, and I got to meet your adorably sweet husband and kiddos. And I remember we talked about the fact that we both have one biological child and one adopted. But that was ages ago, so I really think we are overdue for a meetup!
We are way overdue! I better see you soon!
Let’s jump into my questions.
First, what’s your favorite food? And don’t say cake. We all know how you feel about CAKE. What else do you love?
Sandwiches! I have a deep and abiding love for grilled, toasted panini
— veggies only, and cheese, no meat. And French fries, of course.
With cake for dessert.
Okay, so we know you have like 47 dogs. Can you tell us their names?
I wish I had 47 dogs! I only have four. That hardly seems like enough, right? My quartet includes Flipper, Ruby, Gigi and Violet.
And because we’re super nosy — what’s your favorite sexual position?
That one I did last night 🙂
What’s in your purse?
My purse Kindle, of course. Why yes, I have a Kindle just for my purse! Toothbrush, toothpaste, tylenol, tissue (yes, I’m a mom!), a
nylon shopping bag (It’s California – no shopping bags here!), wallet, lipstick, lip balm, more lip balm, and cinnamon gum. And yeah, those dreaded things known as reading glasses.
What time do you go to bed and what time wake up?
I go to bed around 11 and wake up when the dogs need out. Which is about 5:50. I’m usually up for the day then.
Did you make a new year’s resolution?
I’m not a new year’s person, but my ongoing resolutions are to listen, to be present, and to stay healthy.
Your life motto is …
Eat cake, pet dogs, live without regrets, take care of your body so it can take care of you, and never stifle a generous impulse.
That might be 5 life mottos 🙂
Your death row prison last meal?
French fries and chocolate milk shake.
Your best advice for working mothers?
Be relentless with your time management.
