Some Statistics (Ripped off from Dagmar's blog)
Height: 5'2" if I stretch or wear my "sassy shoes"
Hair Color: Differing shades of blond, depending on the season and how
much I've been in the sun. Since it's rather long, the underneath layers
are pretty dark, but I still like it. I might even be going gray but I
can't tell the white hairs from the blond ones.
Skin Color: Pasty with red facial overtones from semi-permanent summer
sunburn. Major freckles. They used to bother me but it helps that I don't
look in the mirror much.
Eye Color: Per my birth certificate, "smoky blue"
Glasses: Yes. Contacts: Sometimes, but they really dry my eyes out. Not
as clear as glasses but sometimes worth the inconvenience!
Body Type: Okay I admit, I have Muffin Top but not Camel Toe.
Shoe Size: 7 to 7 ½. It is apparently true that your feet gain ½ size
after you give birth. Thanks a lot, Michela!
Piercings: 1 hole per ear. My friend insists that I need a belly ring.
But then people would see my cottage cheese, so no thanks.
Tattoos: 1: Dreamcatcher with my dog Aja and my horse Zyggy. Created and
inked specially for me by my friend Raven.
Left/Right-Handed: Left. Out of 90+ people on just my mother's extended
family, only 1 other is a lefty. Don't know about dad's side.
Born: 08/05/1966, 9:21pm. Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Zodiac Sign: Leo. I've had my astrological chart done and I have 8
planets in Leo.
Martial Status: Married twice, divorced twice.
Home Town: Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Middle Name: White. Those of you who know me well will know it used to be
something else, but I had it legally changed the last time I was married.
Gave some bureaucracies fits, as many insist on hyphenating it with my
current last name, and others attempt vainly to include it as a *second
middle name while retaining the original one. That person no longer
exists.
Number of Siblings: 1 half-brother, 1 half-sister, 4 step-brothers, 2
step-sisters (1 deceased)
Number of Offspring: 1. And wouldn't you know, I ended up with a
Princess.
Pets: 1 dog (ShyeAnne) and one cat-dog (Hunter). (He thinks he's a dog)
3 horses (Zyggy, Kia and Ellie).
Occupation: Mommy, Paper Pusher, Wielder-of-the-Whip, Data Cruncher,
Deputy, Graph Maker, Woman-Who-Can-Do-Anything-the
Engineers-Cannot-Figure-Out and Brown Nose Extraordinaire.
Bones I've Broken: Nada. I'd like to keep it that way!
Phobia: Bugs. Especially dead ones.
Physical Conditions: Arthritis in knees from too much horseback riding,
pretty healthy otherwise. Doc says I'm 25# overweight, I say I'll will
never starve!
Smoke/Don't Smoke: Very anti-cigarette. I do very infrequently enjoy a
Swisher Sweet cigar tho. That's all I have to say.
Some Favorites
Favorite Color: Purple (like you didn't know THAT one)
Favorite Number: Even numbers. I can't buy pop out of the machine here at
work if the ID code is an odd number. Lucky my favorite is in slot #28.
Favorite Day of the Week: Any day I get to sleep in and schlep around the
house.
Favorite Animal: Horses. Dogs. Most mammals really, with the exception
of pigs (except that I LOVE bacon, does that count?) I believe that only
mammals have souls.
Favorite Flower: Gardenias. Violets. Pansies.
Favorite Food: It goes in cycles. Used to be Oreos; lately, guacamole.
Least Favorite Foods: Liver. Black Walnut ice cream.
4 Favorite Songs: Heck, I can't pick just 4.
Favorite Season: Summer, even though lately I've been annoyed that it
hasn't rained. Hay prices have skyrocketed and my lawn is crunchy.
Favorite Holiday: None really, mostly they're just another day.
Least Favorite Holiday: Christmas. I hate being pressured from EVERY
direction to BUY stuff for people. I hate religions that steal other
religions' holidays and then pretend it never happened.
Favorite Seasoning: Garlic
Favorite Wine: None, I detest wine. But I do love wine coolers. I'm such
a lightweight!
Favorite cheese: I'm not much of a cheese person. Anything mild. Brie is
gross, and who in their right mind would eat blue moldy cheese?
Favorite Cartoon Character: Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes. I'm afraid I'm
turning into his mother.
Favorite Movie of All Time: Blazing Saddles.
Favorite Movie within the last year: Not fair, I'm rather currently movie
impaired. I did like Ratattouie.
Favorite Movie Line: Er, I can never remember quotes. Too much other
drivel in my brain. Anything from above Favorite Movie.
Favorite Curse Word: Actually it's a whole string of cuss words. But I've
been forcing myself to use "Boogers!" since Michela already uses "Shit" and
"Dammit" in context. Ooops.
Favorite kind of humor: Puns.
Favorite Chore: Mowing the lawn.
Least Favorite Chore: Washing Dishes.
Right Now
Shows Programmed into my Tivo: I DON'T WATCH TV on a regular basis. Once
in a while I'll catch a rerun of "That 70's Show" and I do happen to like
"House". Mostly because the lead character is scruffy, rude and seemingly
unlikable. Kinda like me.
What's on my iPod: Again, I am technologically behind the times. I don't
even listen to the radio much.
Cell Phone Ring Tone: What I really want: the "communicator chirp" from
the Original Star Trek series. Anyone?
What's tuned in on the Car Radio: 107.7 FM. I only listen to the morning
show and sometimes the 80's Lunch. I hear that other radio stations exist,
but I have such a cheapie stereo that it won't hold pre-programmed
stations. I like my Monkees CDs better.
Current Book: Some dipsy romance novel that my ex-step-mother-in-law gave
me. I'm such a reading addict that I'll read cereal boxes. I usually have
several books going at once, partly because I've read them all so often.
Current Jewelry: None. I quit wearing it on a regular basis when I was
working at the veterinarian, and gave up on rings when Pete left. Which I
really miss, because I just ADORE the engagement ring he gave me. However
I can't decide if it would be PC to wear it, since it only fits the finger
it was originally intended for, and that just opens up Pandora's box.
Miscellany
Things I Suck At: Making decisions. I can't decide between 2 loaves of
bread at the supermarket.
Things I Rock At: Most of the crap I do at work. They love me.
Things I Like to do: Cross Stitching. Hanging laundry to dry outside.
Listening to my horses munch grass in the backyard at midnight.
Hair Color: Differing shades of blond, depending on the season and how
much I've been in the sun. Since it's rather long, the underneath layers
are pretty dark, but I still like it. I might even be going gray but I
