7. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Yes but humorously.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Always, always, always. I go nuts when people don't untie their shoes. My son NEVER does. UGH. He just has to untie them to put them on so why not do it when he takes them off?

12. Do you think you are strong? I know I am mentally strong in ways or else I wouldn't be sane or nearly sane now. Been through a LOT. Physically, I'm strong when I'm mad. I could beat up a linebacker. But only when I'm mad. Otherwise, I'm kind of a wimp.

30. What color shirt are you wearing? I have a light blue sports bra on. Hey, YOU asked!

31. Summer or winter? SUMMER!

33. Favorite dessert? Hmmm...I like cheesecake if it's made very well. I sometimes like crumbly apple pie that's warm and not too sweet.

34. What book are you reading now? The Grumpy Grammar Curmudgeon (or some similar name). It's a great book pointing out dumb mistakes we writers tend to make. I learned a lot so far.

36. What did you watch on TV last night? Technically it's Wednesday but for me last night was Monday (try to follow my logic) and I watched Dancing with the Stars and the SNL 2008 Campaign Bash. I also watched a bunch of junk on VH1 like Scream Queens.

37. Favorite Sound? My sons talking to each other, the ocean waves,  and birds because I can't hear them. Now and then, if I am at the right place, right time, with hearing aids in, I CAN hear them and I almost cry.

It was my second Mother's Day as a mom and I remember waking up that morning, thinking, I don't have a living mother I can call and wish a "Happy Mother's Day" to. I have to plan out or have someone plan out a fun thing to do that day every year, so I don't burst into tears the whole day.

I struggled growing up wanting/craving that special bond with my mother but she didn't want it so I bonded with the older ladies in my church.  5 years ago my mother had a stroke that really messed her up.  She has yet to acknowledge I am her daughter or what my name is.  I have given up ever having that special relationship with her but I will forever be grateful that that dreaded night did not become tragic.  We still have my mother with us and she is no longer as mean and hateful.  Now she thinks everything is "purty and cute" and she is more tolerant.   Speaking of mother's; my birthday will be on Mother's Day in 2009 and I don't have any children :+(

1. Were you named after anyone?   No, but I did get my name because of a Beach Boys song. 

2. When was the last time you cried?  Hmmmm....I don't remember    

3. Do you like your handwriting? It depends on the day and the activity I am doing, as well as how much time I actually have - the more time I have, then yes. :)

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?  I don't really care for lunch meat, has a lot of sodium

5. Do you have kids? nope, but I do have a daughter; sorry I couldn't pass that up, to me a kid is a goat, LOL. ;-)

6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? Yes, but hopefully the other me wouldn't be a ditto of me because we may butt heads, LOL.

7. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Not a lot, but sometimes, it depends on if the situation warrants it.

8. Do you still have your tonsils? Yes, was a big thing to get them out when I was a kid, so my parents said no way it's a waste of money, LOL.  Turns out they were right, there's no proof that having them out prevents the problems that it was to solve.

9. Would you bungee jump? errrrm....no, if there is perfectly good ground around me, why would I ever want to throw myself out into the wild blue yonder, LOL.  (ooops, guess that was sarcasm, hahahahaha)

10. What is your favorite cereal? Granola, although I like several others that are not so good for you. :)

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? All the time - I tie them way too tight to pull them off, and if I did tug long enough to accomplish it - the shoes wouldn't last very long.

12. Do you think you are strong? Physically - for someone of my size (5'1" / 102#) and being female, yes.  When I was younger my parents had us help them move Juke Boxes and I guess that just built up my stamina. Mentally, yes also, but I won't go into why, too long.

13. What is your favorite ice cream? When I eat ice cream - Rocky Road

14. What is the first thing you notice about people? personality, how friendly and open they are with me.

15. Red or pink? Purple ....darn, that's not a choice! Okay, if I have to chose between the two - Red.

16. What is the least favorite thing about yourself? That I can name too many least favorite things about myself....so, I guess I'll go with the first one to come to my fingers --- and the winner is: perfectionism --- eeeeeek, did I just admit that?

17. Who do you miss the most? My sister, my brother both died tragically when they were young - in two separate incidences (remember the too long under strong mentally, this is part of that).

18. What color pants and shoes are you wearing? Pants = dark blue casual workout wear & shoes = tennis shoes

19. What was the last thing you ate? Dinner about 1-1/2 hours ago - homemade open-faced turkey sandwich with gravy, mashed potatoes and fresh pineapple slices on the side.

20. What are you listening to right now? The click of the keyboard as I answer all these questions, wow, there's a lot of them, LOL.

21. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Passionate Purple

22. Favorite smells? new born baby, things that remind me of special events or things from the past

23. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? My husband when I asked him to pick-up some milk on the way home.

24. Eye color? Brown

25. Do you wear contacts? Not anymore - thank you Bates method

26. Favorite food?  All kinds of fruit; main meals - Mexican

27. Scary movies or happy endings? Definitely happy endings over scary anything, LOL.

28. Last movie you watched? Movie, hmmmm...thinking, thinking, I believe it was Nim's Island, but it was DVD and not at the movies, last one seen at the movies was Disney's Wall-E.

29. What color shirt are you wearing?  White

30. Summer or winter? Depends on where I am at.  To clarify, I was born and spent my entire childhood and teen years in California - there I prefer the summer; when I was 19 I moved across the states to Pennsylvania - here I prefer the winter as summer is WAY to muggy for my tastes.  DD thinks California summers are too cold, LOL.

31. Hugs or kisses?  Both

32. Favorite dessert? Fresh: Strawberries, Pineapple, Raspberries or other fresh berries or fruit.

33. What book are you reading now? Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (3 in series that was to be a trilogy, but has since turned into a 4 part instead)

34. What is on your mouse pad? Van Gough's Starry Night & my mouse

35. What did you watch on TV last night?  Desperate Housewives. Since we TiVo everything, the things we watch don't exactly come on on the night we watch them, LOL.

36. Favorite Sound? soft rustle of the leaves as the wind blows, the quiet patter of the rain falling, the soft sounds of my daughter slumbering.

37. Rolling stones or Beatles?   Darn, why can't I pick both, LOL.  If I really have to choose then Beatles without a doubt!  Stones are just second, LOL.

38. What is the farthest you have been from home?   Hmmmm...home to me is still California and I've lived in Pennsylvania for 23 years, LOL.  Either way, I guess farthest is Switzerland (went skiing there in 1989).

39. Do you have a special talent? I have lots of them, LOL, but none that would win me any awards. :)

40. What time is it now? 7:32 p.m. E.S.T.
