I've Been Tagged!

Good morning, dear friends.  My friend, Lauren, from Simply LJK tagged me a couple of days ago. It's a great way to get to know fellow bloggers.  Lauren writes a wonderful blog and is the mom to two beautiful girls.  I hope to have the pleasure of meeting Lauren in person some day.

So here goes...

Are you named after anyone?

My middle name is Mary which was my Mother's name.  Sista's first name is Mary, although she never uses it.  She always knows when a sales person is calling when they ask to speak to Mary.

When was the last time you cried?

Last Saturday when I attended a wedding. 

Do you have kiddos?

I have two girls.
  #1 graduated from TCU in May and is working (YEAH!!!)  for a Public Relations firm in Dallas.

#2 is a junior at a small college in Virginia and is majoring in English.

If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?

Probably not.  

I would be so darn jealous of myself, it wouldn't even be funny. 

Not me but wish it was.

Do you have a guilty pleasure?

No comment.  

However, I will give you a hint.

Do you like handwriting?

My handwriting is very neat and looks very typical Catholic school.  I learned the Palmer method.

When I was in high school, I took a calligraphy class and fell in love with it. 

If colleges offered majors in handwriting and spelling, I could have been a valedictorian.  Unfortunately for me, they don't.

Whats your favorite cereal?

I like to combine my cereals.  My latest concoction is Grape Nuts and Grape Nut Flakes swimming in Almond Milk.

  

Whats the first thing you notice about people?

The voice.  
If the voice is irritating, I can't listen to the person.

What is the color of your eyes?

Blue.  I am the only member of the family who does not have brown eyes.

hmmmm... thanks for pointing that out to me.

Scary movies or happy endings? 

I love tear jerkers, but only in the privacy of my own home.  Preferably when the Mister is not within a 20 mile radius because he always asks me why I watch sad movies and read sad books when they make me cry.

  We'll be married almost 24 years in two weeks.  He still doesn't get it but never misses the opportunity to ask the same question when I'm at my most emotional. 

Favorite TV Shows?

Here's the short list.  If you're thinking the Mister and I have no life outside TV, you're right. 

  

Summer or Winter?

Really?  

Do you have to ask after this winter in the Northeast?  Hands down, if I don't see another snowflake for the rest of my life, I'll be happy.

The Mister says...

fat chance!

Hugs or kisses?

Do you have a special talent?

That I can talk about?  

People tell me that I am a good mimic.  I love to imitate people and most people appreciate my interpretation of them.  

Ask Sista, Delaney, or Dude.

Where were you born?

St. Vincent Hospital, Bridgeport, Connecticut 

What are your hobbies?

This is kinda it.  You're lookin' at it.

The Mister showing me for the last time where the control/alt/delete key is.

Do you have any pets?

Do I have any pets???  

Only the cutest puppy in the world!!

This is Chowdah at 4 months old.

Fave movie?

  Nobody does it better than Hubbell Gardiner.

What color is your car?

Black.  This is a selfie of me changing my first tire.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be happy and healthy and look like her. 
The Mister says that he would be happy with that as well.

Thank you, Lauren, for tagging me.  It was really fun.  

Now dear blogger friends, if you are interested in participating, and are up for the challenge, please contact me by Monday and I will publish a list of the participants. 

Happy Thursday!
