Here's another little survey another friend sent me today. Copy and paste and modify at will. Enjoy.
1. FIRST NAME ON YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE? Barbara
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes - my mother's best friend from childhood
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? This morning, reading "Dead Horse Road" - it was more like my eyes were stinging with tears than I was weeping.
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR OWN HANDWRITING? Hell, no! The more I use computer keyboards, the worse it gets, too.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Turkey
6. KIDS? One 4 1/2 year old spitfire - I mean boy - named Will
7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Depends on what kind of other person I was.
8. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? In my brain.
9. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? No. Never.
10. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes. Probably shouldn't, as often as I had tonsilitis as a kid.
11. WOULD YOU EVER BUNGEE JUMP? Hell, no.
12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Honey Nut Cheerios, but lately I'm eating this stuff called "Hi-Lo" by Nutritious Living. 3 g of sugar, 6 g of fiber and 12 g of protein. All that considered, it ain't bad.
13. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SNEAKERS WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? No. Don't when I put 'em on, either.
14. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Physically, no. Emotionally, usually.
15. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My impatience. It is the mother of all my other flaws. It's gotten better since I've had a child. But I literally have to count to 10 and take deep breaths to keep from getting rattled when I'm waiting for something that shouldn't be taking so long.
16. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My mom and Layla D. Dog.
17. WHAT COLORS are you wearing right now? A white blouse and a black skirt and sandals
18. LAST THING YOU ATE? A Quaker "Q-Smart" snack bar

20. FAVORITE CRAYOLA CRAYON COLOR? Periwinkle
21. FAVORITE SMELL? Fresh-cut grass and that metallic smell right before rain
22. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON (NOT A CO-WORKER) YOU TALKED WITH ON THE PHONE? My friend Teresa

24. FAVORITE DRINK? Absolut martini, straight up with a twist when I go out. At home, vodka and soda. Preferably Absolut or Svedka.

26. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? I'm almost finished with The Kite Runner
27. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? My company's logo at work and Eeyore at home

30. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Both
31. THE FURTHEST YOU'VE BEEN FROM HOME? England
