Muñoz said she’s not much for Black Friday shopping because she feels people should spend that time at home with family and/or friends. She’s been in Sequim for 17 years and has worked on and off with Serenity House for 13 years.

Question 35: Do you have pets?

Muñoz: Four cats. Bailey, Kahlua, Lucy and Crush like the orange soda. Crush is mysteriously (age) 13-15, Lucy is 6 and Bailey and Kahlua are 9.

Bonus Question 1: Are you a cat person?

Muñoz: I am now. I had a dog until three months ago. He died. I had him for 16 years.

Question 37: Have you been in the newspaper before? If so, for what?

Munoz: Yes, for the grand opening of the Serenity Shop and different things with it but always for the Serenity Shop.

Question 41: Who is one person you would arm wrestle?

Muñoz: This is so difficult. I don’t want to arm wrestle anybody. I hate fighting. Fighting is horrible.

Question 48: What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?

Muñoz: Hire someone with no experience because they come with no bad habits, yet.

I learned that from my first manager when I lived in New Orleans in 1981.

Question 26: Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how?

Muñoz: I broke my tibia and fibula. It’s a very boring story but I stepped wrong coming down a step. I tried to pivot and my body went to the right and my leg went to the left.

I was 48 and I was just working in a house and stepped wrong on a step.

Bonus Question 2: Humor us, what is one thing people don’t know about you?

Muñoz: That’s why they don’t know it because I’m not going to tell it. That’s a trick question.
