Do you have any nicknames? 

My nieces and nephew and favorite littles call me 'Nenna' (created when Jack was teeny and couldn't say 'Jenny').  My friend Jill calls me 'J' (I call her 'J' as well).

What’s your most embarrassing childhood memory? 

My friend brought a pair of my tiny undies into school in 3rd grade that I left there after a sleepover because she was upset I brought in a Barbie she left at my house.  I didn't think anything of it because we were Barbie fanatics, but it embarrassed her and she retaliated.  

What’s the most beautiful place you’ve ever been? 

This is difficult as I've been lucky enough to travel the world and I've seen so many beautiful places.  But I'd have to say, based on beauty and charm, Strasbourg, France.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

My tendency to overthink things and worry.  So unproductive.

If you could ask your pet 3 questions, what would they be?
