Amy's Exit Interview

January may have unseasonably warm, but there is nothing like the chill of your time as Tomketeer of the Month coming to an end. We sat down with Amy to find out how her January was, and to find out more about her feet washing regimen.

T: So Amy, what did you think when you were named ToM?

A: I was very excited.  I laughed, but really it was more of a gleeful giggle that just bubbled up inside me.  

T: What has your life been like this past month?

A: There's a new bounce in my step.  It's like my whole social existence has been validated.

T: There have been a number of ToMs that were named while still in their 20s, but do you think it means something different to be honored as a woman in your 30s?

A: I think it bodes well for the new decade.

T: How clean would you say your feet are right now?

A: Sparkling.  I took a shower after running, then promptly put on my fuzzy slippers.

T: They definitely deserve a good scrubbing, since it was partly your fancy footwork that awarded you this honor.  Can we expect any new dance moves from you in 2012?

A: It's possible that the next time there's a threat of a human pyramid, I won't run to the bathroom.  Also, I've been working to perfect my sprinkler dance move daily at work.

T: Now that it's over, what's next for you?  What can we expect from Amy?

A: The next logical step is to persuade other friends to give their own awards, and then lobby to win those.  It is an election year, after all.

T: What advice can you give the next honoree?

A: Enjoy it while it lasts.  The month will drag in every other aspect of your life, but not in the Tomketeer world!

T: Well, thank you, Amy.  Good luck to you!

A: How long until a winner is eligible for re-selection?

T: Uh, we will be asking the questions around here.
