Connie Tagged Me

Isn't it funny that we as mature, intelligent, educated adults still play these little high school games? Yeah... okay so they're fun. Here's my ABC's.

A - available or taken: Available... technically. But I'm with Connie on this one. At the moment, I'm not interested and not looking. I've got more important things to focus on. But I don't mind a little company now and then (wink wink) .... and then he can leave. Hey, a girl has needs.

B- best friend: I have to count my sister, Carla, and my bestest bud, Lisa.

C- cake or pie: Cake with buttercream icing...mmmm.

D- drink of choice: If we're talking the alcoholic variety then margaritas. Although I've been experimenting with martinis lately. Apple-tinis, raspberry-tinis and cosmopolitans.

E-essential item you use everyday: The toilet. :)

F-favorite color: Pink. And green but only if it's paired with the pink. LOL!

G-gummy bears or worms: If I had to choose... then worms but neither are my cup o'tea.

H-hometown: Well since it says it here in more than one place already... Dayton, Ohio.

I-indulgence: Cheesecake.

J-January or February: February it's my birthday!

K-kid's names: She will be Mia Renee (chinese name) when she gets here.

L-life incomplete without: As sappy as it sounds... my daughter. And the other important people in my life.

M-marriage date: May 31,1999. The day I found out he was cheating Dec 10, 1999. The day my divorce was final May 2, 2001. Yeah... he was a bastard.

N-number of siblings: 1 younger sis and 1 younger bro plus a half-bro & half-sis from my father's second marriage.

O-oranges or apples: Both.

P-phobias or fears: Not too fond of heights. Even bungee jumping didn't cure it.

Q-favorite quote: "Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone else to bring you flowers." My single woman's motto....

R-reason to smile: Because my daughter is finally on her way. I just have to be patient.

S-season: I love the Fall. Pumpkins, hayrides, apple cider, Halloween, the leaves changing. Love all of it!

T-tag 4 people: I'll tag my sis, Carla. Any other 3 people who want to do it ...feel free to help yourelf to a tag.

U-unknown fact about me: I had braces when I was 24. Now I wear a retainer at night when I sleep..... alone.

V-veggie I don't like: Brussel Sprouts. Blech!

W-worst habit: I'm always running late. Always.

X-xrays: I was scanned every 12 hours or so when I spent 16 days in ICU. I'm pretty much radioactive.

Y-your favorite food: All of it.... hence the need for the new year's resolution diet.

Z-zodiac: Aquarius

Yep Colleen ... twice. It was a 2 for 1 special day. Seriously.
The first time was hard cuz it was so high but the second time I knew what to expect. I was petrified! But I did it... but I was also like 20 yrs old. Young, stupid and reckless. Not so sure I'd do it nowadays.
