01. Name? My friends call me Erin, my kids call me mom and those I take care of at work call me lots of different names "Mary, Earl, Penny, Shirley, girl, that man, honey, stupid son of a bleep" - gotta love the dementia patients. :D

02. Gender? I'm a girly girl that doesn't mind getting dirty.

03. Disneyworld or Disneyland? Eh. Either or. I'm not one for crowds.

04. What is your favorite color? I don't have just one. I love deep dark colors. Forest green, ruby red, sapphire blue, and black.

05. What is your favorite kind of gum? Trident. We weren't allowed to have 'sugar gum' when I was growing up so most things around here are sugar free.

06. How much do you weigh? I don't even want to know. Sheesh.

07. How tall are you? I'm 5'6" and quickly becoming the shortest person in my house.

08. Can you swim? Oh yes!

09. Do you like to swim? As long as the water is clear. I have an irrational fear of sharks and gators. My brother used to scare the crap outta me by humming the Jaws theme when we swam in Lake Erie. I know it's freshwater AND Ohio but I'd still run for shore every time. :rolleyes:

10. Living arrangement? Four kids two adults and a multitude of animals.

11. What's on your mouse pad? Usually my cup of coffee or iced tea

12. Favorite board game? I like playing Sequence and Life with the kids and Monopoly and Scrabble on Pogo.

13. Favorite magazine? I really don't read magazines. I NEVER buy them but will flip through People if there's one at work.

14. Favorite Actor? Good lord...There are too many to name. My list of actors/actresses I don't like is much shorter.

15. Favorite Actress? See above

16. Do you have an accent? Well, I'm from Ohio. Some say we (collectively speaking) have accents here. Though, after a few drinks my tongue tends to loosen and I sound like a southern belle. Go figure.

17. Favorite smells? Cut grass, fall leaves, dogs coming in from playing in the snow, wood smoke, earthy tones.

18. Least favorite smells? I have an intensely sensitive sense of smell so anything too strong, too perfume like, too chemically, too anything I guess...just kills me.

19. Favorite sound? Sighs of contentment, baby's laughter, crackle of wood burning, surf pounding against the beach, guinea pigs chatter, big church bells chiming the hour.

20. Do you prefer pools or oceans? Pools to swim in and oceans to sit by and think.

21. Do you watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer? Nope

22. Pencil or pen? Pens. They have to be black ink. No idea why.

23. Who's better - boys or girls? :hu Neither. Both. What kinda question is that?

24. Would you like to own a motorcycle? I have a hard enough time with a bicycle.

25. Do you sing in the shower? No way. I'd have every dog in the house squeezed into the bathroom to see what in the world the crazy human was doing again.

26. Who's the best looking Disney character? Best looking? I don't think I ever thought of them that way.

27. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? I hate school, can't wait for summer break.

28. How many rings before you answer the phone? I usually don't answer the phone. That's what voice mail is for.

29. How do you want to die? With fair warning and little pain.

30. Have you ever called a 900 number? Eeek! NO!

31. Gold or silver? Silver with lotsa sparkles!

32. Would you ever go bungee-jumping? I tend to have awkward luck so it isn't in my best interest to do that kind of thing.

33. Do you like dressing up? Oh yes. Skirts, heels, make up, hair done and ready for a night out!

34. Would you rather be short or tall? Short is cute but I gotta be able to reach things so I'll have to go for tall.

35. Do you enjoy reading? Love it!

36. What book are you reading now? In the middle of Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon. Chickens for Dummies. Horses of the Plains (i think thats the name of it). One of Nora Roberts, the name has escaped me and Im not getting up to look. And innumerable blogs.

37. Favorite books? Too many to name. Enjoy Diana Gabaldon, James Patterson, Nora Roberts, Lady who wrote the Clan of the Cave Bear Series, Forensic Medical thrillers, Anthropology geared books, and on and on. I'm all over the place.

38. What was the last movie you saw? Analyze That

39. Favorite movies? Love happy movies, romantic comedies, fantasy, sci-fi, christmas movies...

45. Future child's name? Either Immaculate Conception or Malpractice Suit. I'm done having kids. Four is enough for me.

46. Favorite foods? Chicken wings, pizza, mexican food, chinese food, steak...jeeze. Now I'm hungry.

50. Do you like to dance? Maybe, after a drink or two in a dark area with very few other people. Hate to scare them away.

51. Do you do drugs? I've never touched an illegal drug.

52. Do you smoke? Nope

Cars? At this point anything that has four wheels and runs without being pushed. Drink cups? The bigger the better. I'm always thirsty. :D

64. Did you ever cry over a guy/girl? Both. Human relationships are hard.

66. Do you procrastinate? All the time. Drives me crazy.

67. Do you believe in fate? Sometimes no and other times it just seems to be the only explanation.

Thanks for the welcome BarredBuff, Denim Deb, Big White, and CheerioLounge!

I love this site. There's so much information to be gotten from here. This place is bursting with ideas that I would've never even thought about trying. It's reassuring to find so many people with similar ideals. It's like finally coming home.
