I'm It!! I Got Tagged.

It's Sunday, a non post day, so I thought I'd throw in this fun "tag your it" questionnaire I got from my good friend Lara. It took me 2 years as a teen to stop calling her Lora. She just kept softly reminding me that her name included 2 a's. I'm amazed she will still take me as a friend. Thanks L-A-R-A.

A= Attached or Single: Attached for 12 perfect (crazy, hard, fun) years
B= Best Friend: I'm spoiled in this area!
C= Cake or Pie: Yuck to cake, pie is it (lemon supreme is one of my favs)
D= Day of Choice: Used to be Sunday, but now it's probably any "rainy" Monday.
E= Essential Item: I've learned besides food and water, there aren't any "essential" items
F= Flavor of Ice cream: Rocky Road with a little milk poured on top.
G= Gummy Bears or Worms: nothing gummy.

M= Musician: my son the drummer (he drums on EVERYTHING)
N= Number of Siblings: 3 brothers 1 sister
O= Oranges or Apples: mandarin oranges and gala apples
P= Phobias or Fears: heights; losing a child, not enduring to the end.
Q= Quote: Today's trial is tomorrows testimony" or "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission" or "cleaning the house while you have young kids is like stringing beads without a knot tided in the end of the string."I'll stop there.
R= Reason to Smile: my kids, my honey, my quiet time.
S= Season: what are seasons? We've got hot and humid or hot and rainy.
T= Tag: L(arge), oh you meant tag someone.
U= Unknown fact: I have to turn the tv channel if I think someone on tv is going to be embarrassed or made fun of, I just can't watch it.
V= vegetarian or oppressor of Animals: oppressor definitely, A-1 steak sauce just doesn't go well with veggies.
W= Worst habit: I'm not telling! :)
X= Xray or Ultrasound: I'd rather have an ultrasound if that's what the question is.
Y= Your favorite food: my mom's
Z= Zodiac sign: I'm not sure. I never read those! (Hee, hee)

I've been tagged! Thanks Christine. :)
