A to Z

Whoa, what a week for memes! My friend Wendy, over at Writes in the City, tagged me for this one. It's light and fun. And it's pretty self-explanatory, so without further ado...

A-Attached or Single? attached, in the married kind of way
B-Best Friend? one who knows what it means to be a true best friend: encouragement, selflessness, and flat-out fun
C-Cake or Pie? pie. chocolate pie. or no, wait. cake. chocolate cake. hmm. let's just go with chocolate
D-Day of Choice? Sunday
E-Essential Items? chapstick, a watch, Vitamin E cream, contoured pillows, books and iced mochas. in no particular order.
F-Favorite Color? pretty periwinkle
G-Gummy Bears or Worms? neither, but thanks so much for asking
H-Hometown? Kansas City, on the Missouri side. someday we'll have a decent sports team again.
I-Indulgence? shopping. bargain shopping, because I can get more stuff!
J-January or July? the months my daughters were born
K-Kids? two, the aforementioned daughters
L-Life isn’t complete without…God. without Him, there is nothing
M-Marriage Date? September 25, 1999
N-Number of Siblings? one brother, one sister - and ten siblings-in-law (hubby has a BIG family)
O-Oranges or Apples? apples. apples in my Gooey Apple Pie. ooh! can I change my pie answer?
P-Phobias or Fears? premature death of a loved one. and spiders.
Q-Quote? I like one from Catherine Drinker Bowen: "For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that he has come upon the right word."
R-Reason to Smile? family
S-Superman or Wonder Woman? Wonder Woman!
T-Tag 5 people. Melanie What Am I Doing In Mexico? (I know, I know, this means you've been tagged twice... but we like you!), Michele Writing the Cyber Highway, Janet The Walrus Said, Travis One Word, One Rung, One Day, Turkey Philosophizing Turkey, and anyone else who'd like to participate
U- (missing from the meme passed on to me, so I'm making one up) Umbrella or poncho? neither, let's just stay indoors
V-Vegetables? okra. fried okra. dipped in ranch. or grilled red peppers.
W-Worst Habit? criticism
X-Ray or Ultrasound? ultrasounds, what with two pregnancies, have proven more exciting for me in the past
Y-Your Favorite Food? that which is edible
Z-Zodiac Sign? Scorpio. watch out! I sting!

My fav is the fact that death of a loved one and spiders got lumped together...because my fear of spiders is on that level, too!

Melanie Hooyenga said...

LOL at your cake or pie! Weird we both chose Chapstick. Did I mention my parents sent a package yesterday that includes Chapstick because I cannot find it here?

I didn't even notice the U. Woops!

There was something else I wanted to comment on but I can't remember...

Oh!

Mmm, grilled red peppers. One of my favorites. :D

I learned a lot about you from this one. I'll get mine up in a day or two.

Kansas City, huh? So were you a Jayhawk fan or a Mizzou fan? Or neither?

My dad lives in Southampton, NY now, but he still wears his Cardinals hat--even to Mets games.

Holy smokes, I've never logged on to this many comments! Counting the last post, I had 7 waiting for me - and I LOVED it.

*knuckle bumps Colby* Spiders stink.

Melanie - now if only they'd come up with chocolate-flavored Chapstick...

I can't wait to see your details, Travis! Kind of a fun aside from all the writing we do about writing.

Wendy - Yup, KC. For a short while I claimed to be a fan of KU - I think it was their school colors that did it ;) - but I don't follow any sports these days.
