Life at 7000 feet

Okay...because I don't have anything else exciting or meaningful to blog about, I'm going to copy my friend, JennaG, and answer these 20 questions for ya...

1. Accent...um, let me just say that I was in a hurry to lose my very Southern accent when we moved here. It still comes out a little here and there (or so my friends tell me) but I'm always happy when people are surprised to learn I'm from Arkansas because I "don't have an accent". It's just the twang that gets me.

2. I don't drink...anything with artificial sweetener. I won't rant, but it's really, really bad for you.

3. Chores I dislike...unloading the dishwasher. And I don't like to dust either.

4. Pets...we're working on it. Still praying about a dog. Last week when our babysitters were here (the ones that Abbey wanted to be her parents) they brought their dog, and Abbey went to bed rubbing her eyes and woke up with major congestion. I don't want to tell her brother and sister, but I'm afraid she might be allergic to dogs...and that will determine whether or not we can become dog owners.

5. Essential Electronics...digital camera.

6. Perfume...Clinique Happy. And my bottle is almost empty, honey (hint, hint).

7. Gold or Silver...definitely silver.

8. Insomnia...only when my husband is out of town and I have to sleep alone.

9. Job Title...Wife and Mom.

10. Most Admired Traits...responsible, organized, neat.

11. Kids...3 great ones--Will, Sarah, and Abbey.

12. Phobia...I'm very afraid of heights, snakes, and mountain lions. And I don't like driving under or over bridges either.

13. Religion...I'm a Christian, but as far as denominations go, I've been Catholic, Southern Baptist, Non-denominational, and now we attend an Anglican church. Interesting, huh?

14. Siblings...one sister and one brother. I'm the oldest. And the bossiest (at least that's what they'd tell you).

15. Time I wake up...around 6:30, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

16. Unusual talent/skill...I have no idea.

17. Vegetables I refuse to eat...beets and eggplant. I'm not a big fan of cucumbers and celery either, but I like most everything else.

18. Worst habit...popping my knuckes. I can't stop!

19. X-rays...sure, I've had lots of x-rays taken over the years. The most recent was last October when I had a little collision with the back of my daughter's very hard head. I thought my nose was broken. Thankfully, no, but I sported a nice black eye for about 3 weeks. So lovely.

20. My favorite meal...so, so hard to choose. I guess it might be cornbread, fried okra, garden fresh tomatoes, purple hull peas, and turnip greens. Okay, now I'm hungry.
