The ABCs of Me
Blair did this and I liked it, so I’m swiping it.
Accent: Not really. I think it tends to surprise people who know I’m from Alabama and have lived nearly my entire life in the South.
Book that I like: I read all the time and it’s tough to name just one. Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is just phenomenal. And Anne Rice’s The Mummy remains one of my faves. That said, I’ve read Memoirs of a Geisha over and over again, loving it every time.
Chore I don’t care for: Cleaning the bathroom. Ugh.
Dog or Cat: Both. I’m trying to convince Honey we need a second dog. It’s not working.
Essential Electronics: MacBook, cellphone, iPod Touch and my 30D. I :heart: my camera!
Favorite Cologne: La Vanille, because Honey likes it. If I had my druthers, I’d go back to wearing Chanel No. 5.
Gold or Silver: Between the two, silver. My preference is platinum (my wedding set is platinum).
Handbag I carry most often: Changes frequently. Right now, I’m carrying a wristlet made by my buddy Lisa.
Insomnia: Nope.
Job Title: Girl Friday.
Kids: Three: J, 17; G, 15 (both boys); and Miss L, 3.5
Living Arrangements: Honey, the kids, the menagerie and I all share an abode in the ‘burbs.
Most Admirable Trait: Honey says it’s that I’m kindhearted and generous. I think I’ll stick with that. 
Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Convincing another person to whom I may or may not be related to climb into our dryer. And then slamming the door and turning it on.
Overnight hospital stays: Three related to delivering babies. One at age seven for a broken arm (surgery was planned but then canceled).
Phobias: Oh yeah. The biggies are claustrophobia and acrophobia.
Quote: “One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. ” - Helen Keller
Religion: In my teens, I attended a number of churches including Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Catholic.
Siblings: I am the oldest.
Time I wake up: Somewhere between 6 and 7 most days.
Unusual Talent or Skill: I have a pretty good memory, although I worry that it’s turning a bit mushy since Miss L came along.
Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Brussels sprouts. And I’m not a big fan of those salads that look like they’re made with lawn clippings.
Worst Habit: TV. It’s become my mindless entertainment again.
X-rays: I have the film from my broken arm in my kitchen. Can’t really tell you why; I just couldn’t see a reason to throw them out.
Yummy Stuff: I love seafood, especially shrimp and scallops.
Zoo Animal I Like Most: We have a pretty cute baby panda at our zoo. I watched her eating and playing about a week ago, and that was pretty cool. But I’m not really into zoos, in general. Just not my thing.
Anyone else want to play along?
