ABC Meme

Act your age? I think so, for the most part...

Born on what day of the week? Saturday.

Chore you hate? Floors - be it vacuuming or mopping or sweeping - it doesn't matter. I hate it.

Dad's name? Robert Lee, but everyone just calls him Bob. E.'s middle name is Robert - so we call him E. Bob.

Essential makeup item? It would have to be powder. I just don't feel ready to face the day until I've put on some powder... I tend to have a bit too much shine without it.

Favorite actor? Hmmm. I'd have to say John Cusack, although I don't like a lot of movies he's been in...

Gold or silver? I'll wear either. I like both.

Hometown? Astoria, Oregon.

Instruments you play? Piano. I also know how to play the clarinet, oboe, and the flute, but it's been years.

Job title? Household Engineer. Teacher. My business cards say "Scrapbookery Manager."

Kids? Yep. Three.

Living arrangements? A 1949 rancher in a lovely established neighborhood. 5 bedrooms. 3 baths. One 'dark and scary place.'

Mom's name? Delores Ann.

Need? A pedicure.

Overnight hospital stays? When I had my babies and in 1998 after breast reduction surgery. It was bliss. A tv remote, food brought to me on a tray and no chores? Lovely.

Phobias? Not really. Phobia is a too strong of a word, but I really don't like snakes.

Quote you like? "Sleep is a poor substitute for coffee."

Religious affiliation? I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.

Siblings? 2 older brothers. They used to pin me to the ground and then let drool hang out of their mouths until it almost touched me - and then they would suck it back up into their mouths. Yes, I was a tortured child.

Time you wake up? Usually between 6:30 and 7:00.

Unique talent? Too complex to explain here, but it involves two albino rodeo clowns with trick shoulders and a gallon of olive oil.

Volume? I have a loud voice - it tends to carry, which was perfect when I was a cheerleader and not so perfect when I had napping babies. My firstborn inherited my loud voice, which drives me crazy.

Worst habit? Procrastination

X-rays you've had? Arm. Back. Neck. Mammogram.

Yummy food you make? I love to cook. I make a killer grilled flank steak. Salads. Great pasta. I'm a baker at heart - great chocolate chip cookies, delicious breads... I could go on and on. I love to eat my cooking and baking. Too much probably...

Zodiac Sign? Aquarius. Whatever that means.

    Yes, my older brother used to torture me in the very same manner. I would make things worse by laying there with my mouth wide open, screaming for mom!

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
