The ABC Meme...

Accent: Ottawa Valley?

Bible book I like best: Wierd question I have to say... but probably Matthew. Whenever I get the urge to read the Bible, I usually start here and don't get too much farther.

Chore I Don't Care For: Folding laundry or vaccumming!

Dog or Cat: DOG of course! And Casey-dog in particular.

Essential Electronics: laptop, or any computer really.

Favorite perfume / cologne: whatever is perfuming my deodarant this month. I used to love DUNE, but haven't worn it in years. It is a luxury I have been able to eliminate from my always meagre budget.

Gold or Silver: Gold. I'm partial to traditional yellow gold.

Handbag I carry most often: I've only got one. But besides that, I actually prefer my knapsack. It just doesn't look very fashionable. I suspect that my handbag in the coming year will be a diaper bag!

Insomnia: I don't have insomnia... I just like to be awake at 3 and 4 AM writing in my blog! Okay, Okay, i admit it! I have become an insomniac!

Job Title: Technically, until June 30, Executive Director. However, for the coming 52 weeks, I'll be a Mommy! Go figure.

Kids: Yes. I'll have some in a month or so. Two as a matter of fact.

Living arrangements: A one-level townhome in a Housing Co-operative.

Most admirable trait: Interesting question. I would say - empathy for others. Not sure if others would agree, but that's what I think.

Naughtiest childhood behaviour: sneaking into other people's stuff. I was always so curious about how other people lived, and what other people thought, and I could NOT stand secrets... I would snoop thru drawers and papers to find things out. Problem is, I occasionally found out things i did not want to know. Finally, finding out something i really didn't want to know, put an end to that and I have always felt guilty about knowing this secret about this person, and they don't know that I know it.

Overnight hospital stays: Yes. To have my gall bladder removed 3 years ago.

Phobias: hands on or near my neck and shoulders; small elevators; enclosed spaces - I have a large personal space - please don't invade it unless invited.

Quote: "I wish I wish that I could know/ the places I have yet to go..."

Religion: United Church

Siblings: now that is a complicated question in my life! I have 2 siblings - Tim & Gillian, both older than myself. I have 2 half siblings - Dean and Ann, both older than all of us.

Time I wake up: These days... I wake up at 1 AM & 3 AM to pee, 4 AM for an hour or so to eat, 8 Am to pee, and then 9:30 AM for the day. I usually nap mid-afternoon too.

Unusual talent or skill: I can turn my feet inside out (stand with my feet facing backwards) tho that is getting harder as i get older; I can twist my tongue into 4 tubes (like 2 w's side by side)

Vegetable I refuse to eat: Brussel sprouts - I ask only why? why would I eat something that tastes so nasty. Any beans - my one exception is green beans and then only if they are fresh and cooked properly.

Worst habit: messy. I leave my things all over the place. I like piles of paper - as long as they are straight piles I am okay with them.

X-rays: Many in my lifetime- of ankles, fingers, wrists, dental... nothing significant though.

Yummy stuff I cook: dinner most nights! I do like to bake cookies but we have stopped eating them so I don't bake them as much. Tonight, i really felt like baking bread! But seeing as how it is 5AM, I thought that might be a little crazy to do!

Zoo animal I like most: Kangaroos & Koalas - can I go to Australia to go see them again???
