The A - Z of me(me)

Since it's Thursday, and since Ben O. took the time to not only do this himself, but also to think of me all the way over across the Atlantic at the same time, I thought I would both answer his call and treat you all to another enthralling look into the nuts and bolts of the what makes me me.

Yes, it's The Alphabet Meme...!!

A - Available/Single or Taken?
... Very much taken - my 6th Wedding anniversary is looming. And yes, I had to stop and count that up on my fingers.
B - Best Friend?
... Would have to be my long-suffering husband, who loves me in spite of myself :)
C - Cake or pie?
... Hands down, yummy apple pie with cream..! Athough Black Forest Cake has been known to win out on occasion. And Carrot Cake. OK so maybe the answer to this on is, in fact, Cake and not pie.
D - Drink Of Choice?
... Coffee. Or a wee drop of Old Brown Sherry every now and then. Did I mention I have trouble making up my mind sometimes?
E – Essential Item You Use Everyday?
... Toothpaste.
F - Favourite Color?
... Green - pretty much any shade of jade green, specifically. Or perhaps lilac. Nope, definitely green.
G - Gummy Bears or Worms?
... I could really do with a third choice here...! OK, I'll say Gummy Bears 'cos they're almost like Jelly Babies, right?
H - Hometown?
... The seaside city of Port Elizabeth in sunny South Africa. For years I couldn't wait to leave and now I'm yearning to go back. No doubt if I went back it wouldn't be long before I wanted to leave again but hey, it's home.
I - Indulgence?
... Boots. I really do have more pairs of boots than I need, but they're soo purty!
J - January or February?
... January - it's my birthday month!
K - Kids & Their Names?
... I have none of my own and don't foresee having any, but I always liked Kayleigh for a girl. Right up until close friends of ours named their sheepdog that. So now, it just doesn't matter anymore.
L - Life is Incomplete Without?
... music. And Hubby, of course, but that goes without saying.
M - Marriage date?
... March 2001. Twice actually - a week apart. (Yes, to the same man!)
N - Number of Siblings?
... 2 sisters, one older, one younger.
O - Oranges or Apples?
... I'd have to say oranges. Apples are too hard to eat.
P - Phobias/Fears?
... I've been afraid of fire as long as I can remember. And actually I'm scared of doing just about anything, but I tend to go ahead and do them anyway.
Q - Favourite (movie) Quote?
... "Grab that cat!" (- from one of the Lethal Weapon films)
R - Reason to Smile?
... I am loved.
S - Season? Spring or Fall?
... In Ireland: Fall 'cos it's really pretty, but in SA I'd have to say Spring when the sun shines and the sea sparkles and it smells all fresh and the birds start tweeting and it gets all nice and warm. Spring in Ireland is not much different from Winter in Ireland so it pretty much sucks.
T - Tag 3 people?
... Angel, Spookie and Buddess
U - Unknown Fact About Me?
... I attended my first Salsa class last night - now that could be an enjoyable form of excercise! Although, I'm quite glad I have an appointment with the chiropracter this evening...
V - Vegetable you don’t like?
... Without a doubt, Brussells Sprouts.
W - Worst Habit?
... Smoking. Yeah, I know, I'm working on it...
X - X-rays You’ve Had?
... Teeth. Possibly a foot when I was a kid but I don't remember.
Y - Your Favorite Food?
... This is hard. I love ALL food. Especially smoked salmon. Ooh, and salami and cheese. Or prawns, I love prawns too. Or... ok, I think you get the picture.
Z – Zodiac sign?
... Capricorn.

So there ya go. I now feel safer in the belief that you will all go away feeling enlightened.
