A-Z, All About Me

So after been sick and catching up on blog reading, I first head over to Shameka's blog and of course she tagged me with this Meme:

ACCENT: While I have lived all over with my father being an IBM'er, I predomintaley lived in North Carolina. I had a southern accent when I first moved to NYC 11 years ago. I never picked up a NY accent, with the exception of a couple of words, and I lost my real southern accent. However, when I go home and visit or talk to someone with a strong accent, mine tends to come back out.

BREAKFAST OR NO BREAKFAST: Gotta start the day with breakfast. If I don't, I don't want to be around me.

CHORE I DON'T CARE FOR: Laundry. I hate having to lug everything to a laundrymat every week, no matter the weather conditions.

DOG OR CAT: I grew up with both. When I was married we had a slew of dogs. I wouldn't mind having a cat now.

ESSENTIAL ELECTRONICS: Cell phone and computer.

FAVORITE COLOGNE: I'm allergic to most perfume's and cologne's.

GOLD OR SILVER: Grew up wearing gold jewelry but now prefer silver.

HANDBAG I CARRY MOST OFTEN: Well living in the city and having to take public transportation everywhere, I carry my backpack most often. It can carry my running gear and everthing else I need for the day. When I go out, I generally grab my little black shoulder bag.

INSOMNIA: Only have insomia when I have something pressing on my mind or I am really hot.

JOB TITLE: Presentation Specialist Lead

KIDS: No kids but 10 nieces and nephews.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: I have been renting a basement apartment for the past 2.5 years.

MOST ADMIRABLE TRAIT: I will always be there for you.

NAUGHTIEST CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOR: Oh gosh. Ummm. Hmmm.

OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY: Had my gall bladder removed in 2002. Not fun.

PHOBIAS: Growing old alone.

QUOTE: "To Have Loved and Lost Is Better Than To Not Have Loved At All"

REASON TO SMILE: I am alive and healthy.

SIBLINGS: 4 sisters and 1 brother. All older.

TIME I WAKE UP: Alarm goes off at 4:30am. Got to be at work for 6am.

UNUSUAL SKILL OR TALENT: Fast Reader, Fast Knitter. Do those count as talents? Don't have any unusual skills that I can think of. I am just me!

VEGETABLE I REFUSE TO EAT: Brussel Sprouts.

WORST HABIT: Biting my fingernails when one is snagged and I don't have a clipper or nail file on hand.

YUMMY STUFF: Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Can eat it 365 days a year. Also love cheese pizza.

ZOO ANIMAL I LIKE MOST: Seals. So cute and adorable.

That's it folks! Who to tag, who to tag? I tag Kim.

  1. How interesting! I don't have a gall bladder, either. Mine was diagnosed right before my wedding and acted up so badly during my honeymoon that was came home a week and a half early. :(
