ABC

I got tagged for this from Catholic Teacher Musings.

A
is for age: 46, although My Wii Fit tells me I'm anywhere between 28 and 52, depending on how clumsy I am on any given day.
*
B is for burger of choice: Bacon avocado, quite pink inside. And a side of defibrillators.
*
C is for what kind of car you drive: A '98 Toyota Sienna minivan that is about as tired of driving around as I am.
*
D is for your dog's name: Mr. Invisible, since I don't have one.
*
E is for essential item you use everyday: Chocolate. And deodorant I guess. And the computer and my car. And a whip for the kids. Is anybody still reading this far?
*
F is for favorite TV show at the moment: Trick question, right? We don't watch TV. Husband and I are watching reruns of the Horatio Hornblower mini-series on dvd though. That Ioan Gruffudd is cute beyond words. I think my husband and I are actually seeing two different shows when we watch it together. Don't tell him.
*
G is for favorite game: "The Quiet Game" ha ha ha ha as if that ever works. . .
*
H is for Home State: California
*
I is for instruments you play: Harp, but mine isn't as pretty as the one in my profile. Piano. Tympani in the school orchestra when they didn't have harp parts. I like playing large instruments that are difficult to move and tune.
*
J is for favorite juice: Passion Orange Guava. They dispense it at the blood donation center. Some people just go there for the juice. This is why I had to start blogging. I never have a short answer for anything. Everything is a story story story. I'm only on J. How long is this post going to be? Is anybody still reading this? I'm going to go check my stats page the day this runs and see "average time spent on site: 2 seconds" because really, who *cares* what kind of juice I like? Going to send me some?
*
K is for whose butt you'd like to kick: That little yippy dog next door that barks all the way through Horatio Hornblower every single night. I'd like to fire *him* out of a cannon.
*
L is for last restaurant at which you ate? Su Hong's in Menlo Park
*
M is for your favorite Muppet: Grover
*
N is for Number of Piercing: Three. All in my ears. I'm just wild that way.
*
O is for overnight hospital stays: Several nights when I had the twins.
*
P is for people you were with today: Besides my family, some of the kids on the cast of my daughter's play that I'm altering costumes for. My cats.
*
Q is for what you do with your quiet time: Blog and read, needlepoint and sleep. I'm big on naps. Love them.
*
R is for biggest regret: I wish I'd taken more art history classes. Seriously.
*
S is for status: Happily married, 16 years.
*
T is for time you woke up today: Around 6 or so.
*
U is for what you consider unique about yourself: My social security number.
*
V is for vegetable you love: carats, the diamond kind.
*
W is for worst habit: Spending too much time on the computer. But what am I to do when somebody sends something like this to me?
*
X is for x-rays you've had: Dental , hip - I have a huge bone spur and osteoarthritis from a skiing accident when I was 12. I'm in pain most of the time from that. I need to get the whole hip replaced but I don't know when I'll have the time to be out of commission for 6 months.
*
Y is for yummy food you ate today: Almond Roca. My little guilty pleasure. I only have one every few days and I savor it.
*
Z is for zodiac: Gemini. Both of me.

Ah, the Quiet Game! I had forgotten about that one until the very end of the school year. My assistant principal came in one day and my class was perfectly silent because of the Quiet Game! The kids actually requested it every day after that... 5 year olds are so easily amused sometimes!

Oh come on, there is something more unique about about than your social security number!

I agree with Noble Pig. I'd say something unique about you... you're the finest pirate captain I've ever had the pleasure of serving under!

Almond Rocca... Mmmmm! Do you know they make a mint flavored Christmas version? STAY AWAY FROM IT! It is an abomination to all that is good and holy and decadent with real almond rocca.

You are very funny!

Not to compound your regret, but art history classes DID rock! Of course speaking as someone who majored in it, not so much the conduit to high-paying careers! ;)

(I can recommend some good fun books for at-home self-crach courses!)

Knew we had a lot in common! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I don't know why- but I laughed a hearty laugh at your dog and car answers.
And, I always admire NO TV people.

Great Sunday night reading.
