The Sunshine Award

My friend, Mo of Mocadeaux  nominated me for the Sunshine Award.   This means that I am given the opportunity to answer the 10 questions that Mo has prepared for me and nine other bloggers. And then the best part is... I get to turn the tables and ask 10 questions to 10 or 11 bloggers.

Where were you born?

I was born in St. Vincent's Hospital in the great city of Bridgeport, Connecticut.  Famous people other than myself born in Bport include:  P.T. Barnum, Tom Thumb, Brian Dennehy, Bob Crane (Hogan's Heros), Robert Mitchum, Tony Musante ( Toma), and Kevin Nealon (SNL). 
  

Do you prefer romantic comedies or suspense thrillers?

I enjoy both but I have a tendency to watch romantic comedies over and over.  My favorite romantic comedy writer is the late, great Nora Ephron.

What is your favorite sport (to watch or participate in)?

I've played tennis for years.  I was never been very good at it but my team mates kept me on the team for comedy relief and I also promised to host the team party.

My favorite sport to watch is Real Housewives. 

What is your favorite sound?

My first favorite sound is the combined laughter of my girls because that means they are not tearing each other's eyes out.

My second favorite sound is a cork popping from my favorite bottle of chardonnay.

Coke or Pepsi?

Diet Coke.  In high school and college I was never without a can of Tab in my hand.  Does anybody drink it anymore?

Do you have a special talent?

My friends and family have told me that I am a good mimic.  Probably because I imitate them all the time.

PC or Mac?

PC - not because I prefer it.  My family doesn't think I'm swift enough to learn the Mac.  They all have Macs, by the way. 

What is your favorite vacation spot?

I would have to say St. Martin because the Mister and I honeymooned there and we have also taken the girls.  The Mister loves the food and the girls love the beaches and shopping.

Do you collect anything?

I don't collect them, but I do admit to having a tremendous amount of roosters.  The Mister told me that if I come home with one more rooster, I will have to sleep in the hen house.

If you could be an expert in any field, what would it be?

I don't know about being an expert but I have always dreamed of being a famous romance novelist like Danielle Steel.  She spits out about 3 books a year and has homes all over the world.

I even like her clothes and jewelry.
