I'm a silly lady and forgot to post the interview questions from Tiffany for the Member of the Month for October! I'm such a silly silly girl. Well, better late than never:

I am 27 years old, I'll be 28 in just a few short weeks on the 20th of November. I have two delightful young children and a very wonderful husband. We have been married 4 years now. I am currently a stay at home mom, but I do work part time as an Optical Tech... and glorified Optician. My hobbies are quite simple seeing as I have very little free time or alone time... I love to read, write, listen to music and learn. Yes I love to learn. I am interested in the paranormal and I am attempting to write my own novel. foreseeing no more computer crashes that is. I enjoy life and I try to find something positive in everything.

- Describe yourself in only 5 words!
Honest, respectful, random, thoughtful, creative

- How and why did you start pen palling?
I started in 1995 when I came across a horse crazy magazine. There was a pen pal ad in there that described a girl much like myself. I decided to give it a shot. In 1997, French class, I was required to write a letter to this girl in France... It wasn't as much fun when I was required to write LOL, but I still enjoyed it. I was a steady pen pal all the way up until 2008 when I had complications with my pregnancy and decided to give it a break. Now in 2012 i decided to pick it back up again

- What do you like/dislike about pen palling?
What I like about pen palling is making friends from all over the world. I love the thrill of getting a letter. When I get a letter it feels like the person that wrote me is sharing their life with me. It's the simple fact that they took the time to write... me. What I dislike about pen palling is when I come across those individuals that put rules and regulations on your letters... "you can only use blue ink, your letters must be X amount of pages long and you only have 4 days to reply" That takes the fun out of it. This is a hobby, not a job. And I have two kids, a husband and a job... I can't always respond right away.

- How many pen pals do you have and where are they from?
I have about 30 pen pals. A majority of them are from the USA. I have a few from Ireland, England, New Zealand and the Netherlands. I wish I had more over seas pals.

- What do you look for in a pen pal?
What I look for in a pal is someone that I can connect with. Some one that has at least a few things in common with myself. I also look for pals that are interested in learning more about me, as I am interested about learning about them. I find it very difficult to write a one sided letter.

- Where do you find new pen pals at? Do you rely on friendship books, Facebook, or other websites/blogs?
So far a majority of my pals I have found either through face book or word of mouth from another pal. I do not do friendship books, the idea of having my address floating around to who knows where is a bit unnerving.

- Do you keep track of your mail? Share your tip on how to stay organized.
I have all of my letters organized by pal in their own folder. I organize them by first name. I also have a sheet that I have my pals fill out, or I fill it out for them, that has their information such as likes, dislikes and birthday. This helps me make sure that I don't forget any important detail about my pals.
