Fun stuff!

[Brownie3321]

I thought we could use another fun little survey for those interested. This is a way for us to get to know eachother better as well as introduce new faces. If you don't like this survey or post, just ignore it. No need to start another fight please :)  

1. State your name, where you live, if you are dealing with cancer (what stage) or if you are a caretaker, or just looking for answers and friendships :)
2. If we were to walk into your closet, how would we describe your style?
3. What would be the 3 books and/or movies you would recommend to us?
4. Say something nice about the peron before you that answered this survey.
5. Describe yourself in one word that starts with an "s"

1. Deandra, Boulder CO. Stage 3C ovarian cancer
2. classic-chic with a little edge
3. It's not about the hair (book) The Red Tent (book) Amoros Perros (movie in subtitles)
4. That would be me - I would say I have a constant need to inspire, care and help people.
5. SASSY

I enjoyed reading these.
