I've been tagged by
Sister Anne and
Susan so here goes my reply. This is a variation on a meme for the alphabet (a few of the ABCs have been left out of the original):
ACCENT: I don't detect it, but I am told sometimes by folks outside the region that I have a Jersey accent. For those who don't know quite what that is, imagine a softened version of a Brooklyn accent. Having always been interested in public speaking and enunciating clearly, I think that most of my access is now suppressed by good diction ... or at least that's what I like to think :)
CHORE I HATE: I will pre-treat, wash, fold, even iron. I just don't like putting away, especially on the high shelves.
DOG OR CAT: Dogs!! (I have loved cats, too, but I am definitely a dog personality.)
ESSENTIAL ELECTRONICS: That's a tie between a cell phone and a laptop/PC.
FAVORITE COLOGNE: I have to think about that one a bit longer.
GOLD OR SILVER: White Gold, or Silver.
HOMETOWN: Can you guess?
INSOMNIA: As I age, yes.
JOB TITLE: Administrator.
KIDS: Two K-9s.
LIVING ARRANGEMENTS:
MOST ADMIRABLE TRAIT: Ability to facilitate/negotiate differences among others.
OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: Hmmmm, I am afraid there will be one in my future, so I'd rather not.
PHOBIAS: Rats, spiders, heights.
QUOTE: There are so many to choose from ...
RELIGION: Roman Catholic
SIBLINGS: Yes, 2 + 1.
TIME I USUALLY WAKE UP: Better ask the K-9s about that.
UNUSUAL TALENT: I think most of my talents are usual.
VEGETABLE I REFUSE TO EAT: Not sure.
WORST HABIT: Do you really want to know?
X-RAYS: Yes, been there and done that.
YUMMY STUFF I COOK: Most of my basics are pretty good, but I also like to be creative. Some of the things on the "to eat if Lisa cooked them" list are:
Fried catfish, Salmon Cakes, Meatloaf, Chicken.
