Me

 

The latest thing I’ve been in my life is a licensed optician and contact lens fitter.  It’s not the most important.  Being a parent and a grandparent has everything else beat.  How good I’ve been at those two things I don’t know – I know I’ve mostly tried my best.  My third favourite thing to be is an artist.  One day I hope to have a whole lot of time to devote to that, once I’m a certified eccentric old lady.  Then I’m sure no one will be alarmed by the weird things I plan to create.   They will think that what I’ve done to date was mere dabbling in comparrison.  I want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up to become the special people they are destined to be.   I want to always see the funny side of life. 

Facts about me, A – Z

A – Available/Single?  – Available for what??  Make me an offer and we’ll talk.  Mostly I’m happily married.
B – Best Friend? -  I don’t have a BEST friend.  Maybe I’m my own best friend.  Is that a bit pathetic??
C – Cake or Pie? - Chocolate cake.  I like pretty much any pie filling – but I’m not a big fan of pastry.
D – Drink Of Choice? – Coffee.  Second choice – Caffiene free diet pepsi (the ‘what’s the point’ beverage).  The best mixed drink ever is spiced rum and pepsi.  Coke works if you don’t have pepsi.  Put in a twist of lemon or lime and get ready for a preview of heaven.  Seriously. 
E – Essential Item You Use Everyday? – deodorant (?) My computer.  My stereo.  We never turn either of them off.  Really, we don’t.
F – Favourite Colour? - Red
G – Gummy Bears Or Worms? – Ick to all things gummy.
H – Hometown? – Port Elgin, Ontario
I – Indulgence? – OMG – where to start? Books and dvds.  If I see something I want, I buy it.  Because whatever it is, I must be worth it.  I also keep a treasure chest full of stuff for my grandchildren.  I fill it up, they cart it away.  It’s a system that is quite satisfactory for all of us. 
J – January Or February? - Yay for February!  In February, January is finally done!
K – Kids & Their Names? - Dana Michelle (Shane Paul, Kenzie Merick);  Kristofor Jason (Jenifer Mary, Kale Isaac, Omayja Anne Rosalie, Corey Franklin Joshua-David.) How about Kats?  Kats that have been in my life – Ash, Ben Zulu, Heccubus, Salvadore, Milligan, Brooks, Hockey, Johnny.   
L – Life Is Incomplete Without? – passion – of some sort, for someone or something
M – Marriage date? – November is a great month to get married.  No one expects it.
N – Number Of Siblings? – three
O – Oranges Or Apples? – apples.  Crunchy beats squirty.

P – Phobias/Fears? - large bodies of water.  Not being able to breathe. 
Q – Favourite Quote? – What, me worry?  Life is too short to (blah blah blah – I have a million endings for this sentence.) 
R – Reason to Smile? – today I get another chance to do something worthwhile.  I won’t of course, but it’s lovely to have the chance.
S – Season? – summer.  Everything about every other season is highly overrated.
T – Tag People?  No one tagged me, and I tagged no one.  I copied this.  I have no remorse.
U – Unknown Fact About Me? – If I told you, it would no longer be unknown.  I have a thirteenth tale.  Perhaps it will die with me.  I haven’t decided.  But I’m pretty blabby – it could slip out at any time.
V – Vegetable you don’t like? – Asparagus.  Although I will eat it if I don’t have to look at it first.
W – Worst Habit? – Putting off having a shower and getting dressed until there’s really no point in doing either one.
X – X-rays You’ve Had? – chest, lower back, ankles, wrists, dental.  I think that’s it.
Y – Your Favourite Food? – It depends on the time of day.  And where I am.  And the weather.  Just don’t try to feed me sushi. 
Z – Zodiac Sign? – Taurus
