Due to medical (and sheer fatigue issues), we took yesterday and today off from haring across the state, which meant I had time to perform this little self-indulgent meme thinger.WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Nope.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Shed a few unstoppable tears just this morning as the GYN was excising a bit of my uterus for a biopsy. That shit
HURTS.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
The only handwriting I do these days is my signature, which has become nothing more than an S with a squiggle after

Tuna, with a little mayo, some chopped white onion, and a few spoons of Wickle relish.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Yes, two brilliant, gorgeous, emotionally manipulative little monsters, whom I love dearly.

Nope. Being a resident of Central Florida, I spend the majority of the year in flip flops. You can be jealous,

In every way that counts, yes. In the past this has led to me being alternately labeled a “bitch” and/or a

Forgetting things…like shooting the entire fishing trip’s worth of ospreys with the goddamned ISO still set to the inside-the-aquarium settings from the day before.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My cat, Hero. I rescued her as a kitten over 12 years ago and had to put her down a few weeks ago. Then again, if

Denim shorts and barefoot.

don’t need it in my entertainment as well.

Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant, last night on PPV. Cute movie, the most enjoyable bits were the 80s inside jokes.

Cherry red.

Winter. Of course down here in Florida that simply means you can go outside without breaking into a sweat.

See above.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (book one of the Thursday Next novels). It’s an alternate history sort of series where literature is
revered, and moving in and out of books is possible. That’s a VERY simplistic explanation, mind you, so do go
check them out for yourself. Very entertaining reads.

My mouse. My Microsoft Wireless mouse. My Microsoft Wireless mouse that I’m about twelve seconds from throwing
through the nearest window.
WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT?
Our favorite guilty pleasure on HGTV, Landscaper’s
Challenge.
FAVORITE SOUND?
I would say my kids’ laugher but that typically means they’re picking at each other and someone will be screaming within about ten seconds. So, I’ll go instead with a favorite piece of music, “O Mio Babbino Caro” (from Gianni Seicchi by Puccini) as sung by Kiri Te Kanawa and/or “Nessun Dorma” (from Turandot also by Puccini) as sung by Pavarotti. Yes, I’m an opera geek, stfu.
