No. Bleh.

4. Your favorite song?
Amazing Grace among many more.

Sugar free pudding, fat free cheese, broccoli
(no wonder I’m bored)

None.
21. Current hate right now?
Lack of motivation
22. Favorite place to be?
Right where I am!
23. How did you bring in the New Year?
Silence. Meditation. At St. Mary’s Sewanee.
24. Where would you like to go?
A cruise anywhere.
25. Name three people who will complete this?
No Guesses. I can’t even think of three people who will read this, for God’s sake.
26. Do you own slippers?
Do Uggs count?
27. What shirt are you wearing?
Ragged pink tee.
28. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets?
Ick.
29. Can you whistle?
Yup. I can whistle a happy tune or one that can make leaves quiver on a tree.
30. Favorite Color?
Red.
31. Would you be a pirate?
Huh?
32. What songs do you sing in the shower?
None.
33. Favorite girls name?
Rachel & Lucey
34. Favorite boy's name?
Chase & David
35. What's in your pocket right now?

36. Last thing that made you laugh?
Any comment Eric Mayer left somewhere.
37. Best bed sheets as a child?
Huh?
38. Worst injury you've ever had?
None. Really. Oh Yeah! About 15 years ago I was using a butcher knife to pry open a Hagan Daz container and it slipped and cut my finger. God, how desperate does that sound. I think I deserved the cut. Ahhh, but I've forgotten to mention a broken heart, which is slow to mend. :)
39. Do you love where you live?
Very much so.
40. How many TVs do you have in your house?
Embarrassed to say - three. I hardly ever use the upstairs one – for all I know someone I haven’t met yet has moved in upstairs. Then there is one in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. I live alone and need someone to argue with for God’s sake.
41. Who is your loudest friend?
Scott. Hmmm, Netta. Hey, it’s a compliment alright, already. Oh, yeah and Stace. Yeah and I bet Scout is loud, too.
42. How many dogs do you have?
None.
43. Does someone have a crush on you?
Heavens no.
44. What is your favorite book?
The list is waaaaay too long. But a favorite for about 25 years has been a slender book called “Prayers from the Ark / The Creatures’ Choir” by Carmen Bernos de Gasztold - translated by Rumer Godden. I know it sounds all religious and stuffy and it isn’t. If you ever have a chance to pick it up, PLEASE do. It is the MOST remarkable book of poems written in the voices of the Ark’s creatures. I will never tire of it. It is tender, funny, humbling – it evokes so many emotions for me.
45. What is your favorite candy?
I like all nuts and milk chocolate concoctions.
46. What is your favorite Sports Team?
None. Okay, maybe the Giants for Netta. :)
47. What song do you want played at your funeral?
What funeral?
48. What were you doing 12 AM last night?
Watching some mindless rerun. I have shifted my hours much to my dismay – a liability to living alone.
49. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up?
There is no logic to my first thought today, but I wondered if it had snowed.
50. What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Nothing.
Yes. But I like all cheese.
2. Have you ever smoked heroin?
No. Bleh.
3. Do you own a gun?
Yes. Not loaded. Never fired. I try not to talk or write about it because, inevitably people get reallyreallyreally pissed off at me because it’s NOT loaded and I’ve NEVER fired it. *sigh*
