8. Are you a coffee or tea drinker? Both actually.
I don't drink coffee very often, though, b/c it makes my insomnia worse, even if I drink it in the am.

9. Do you live in an apartment or house? House

1. What type of photography do you do? (people, places ect..) My favorite is people. If I had my choice, I would open a newborn photography business. I don't have the patience to take pictures of older children, and I don't have the gift for still life photography. That's my friend's department.
2. I'm assuming you have a garden, what will you be planting this spring? I'm hoping to find a shrub to plant in front of our house. We moved in 3 years ago and our flower bed is pretty complete, but I haven't got around to putting in that last bush. There's an empty spot in the bed for it. I've got flower pots for herbs, and a big pot for tomatoes. I'd like to plant some trees in our back yard, but that probably won't happen.
3. What's your favorite time of day/night? I prefer night. I'm a big night owl, have been since I was little. I think I would say anytime at night, when I can get some alone time. It's nice.
4. What's your favorite color? Lime green and any shade of blue
5. When was the last time you went to the movies? Ummm...let me think. A couple months ago, I think. For the life of me, I can't think of which movie, though. Maybe The Dark Knight?
6. What's your favorite time of year? Autumn. I love the smells in the air, I love the temperatures, and just the whole feeling of it.

1. On average how long do you spend on TCS every day? A couple hours at least. Most of the time I just keep it open in a tab and come back to it every so often.

2. Do you have a theme with your cat names? For example human names? I prefer human names for all of our animals. I'm not a "cutesy" name type of person. Our dogs names were Sam and Rosie (Ferrari Testarossa Zoom Zoom was her full name), and our cats have been Gus, Nora, and Milo. We did have one cat that we named Losi, from a line of radio controlled cars products, but she snuck out the front door and we never saw her again.

3. I know you've got one son - do you plan on having any more skin babies? We've been trying many years to have another baby. In May it will be 9 years. We've had tests up the wazoo done, and pretty much short of adopting or IVF, we won't be having anymore. We can't afford IVF, as much as I desperately want another biological baby, and I want to adopt but who knows if we ever will. *sigh* Nora is my baby, and I get my baby fix by working in childcare.

1. do you have any tattoos? If so, what and do they have meanings behind them that you are comfortable sharing. I do not have any tattoos. I want one, but I'm afraid it will hurt too bad, so I haven't yet. If I do get a tattoo, it will be of a dragonfly, but I have no idea where to put it.

2. do you have any piercings? aside from the ears. Nope. I'm pretty boring. This again comes down to the pain. Not that I'm apposed to them, I have a lot of friends with piercings.

3. Have you ever held a snake? If so, did you enjoy it or were you uncomfortable? Yes I have held a snake. As long as I know it isn't poisonous, I think snakes look and feel cool and I like them.

4. What is on your MP3 player right now? (or cd player, whatever fits) I have 133 songs on my iPod, I don't think you want me to list them all. lol

5. How many tvs do you have? Four. One in our living room, one in our basement, and two in our garage (one that works and one that doesn't anymore)

6. What is your all time favorite bought chocolate? I do not like chocolate


7. Whats your favorite colour, least favorite colour? Fav=lime green; least=yellow

8. What's your favorite movie? I like a lot of movies, and there are a ton I have watched over and over again, but I don't think I have a favorite.

9. What's your favorite book? Same with books. I read a book once and usually never read it again, and I keep finding books that are better than the last, but I don't think I could narrow down a favorite. If I had to guess, maybe The Time Travelers Wife or any of the Odd series by Dean Koontz

10. Have you ever been anywhere on an actual holiday/vacation? (not counting any work trips) I've been lots of places. Are you talking like out of the country or to another state? I've been to about half of the states for one reason or another. My mom and grandmother took my sister and I to London and various places in Scotland when I was 18. My whole family (husband, son, parents, sister) has been on 2 cruises. We've been to St Thomas, St Martin, Nassau, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, and I can't remember where else. My favorite was spending all Christmas Day on a beach in St Martin, 85 degrees, clear blue skies, swimming in the ocean. It was wonderful.

1. Does she like catnip? OH YES!
2. What's her favorite toy? Any of these little pom poms with sparkly strings through them
3. When is her birthday/gotcha day? Her birthday is May 5th, 2008 and I got her on July 7th, 2008
4. Is she an indoor only kitty? Yes. She has only gone outside onto our front porch once with supervision
5. Do you call her by any nicknames? Not really
6. What do you feed her? Wellness Core and Wellness wet
7. Does she know any tricks like fetching? Yes, she can fetch, other than that not really
8. What funny things does she do? She gets in her "spaz" moments, and she runs from the dining room through the kitchen and into the laundry room, and then she'll run back, and the whole time her tail is poofed and she'll skid out into chairs on the vinyl. It's really funny to watch.
9. Does she come when you call her? Yes, but she is pretty much a leach and has to be in the same room I am, so I don't need to most of the time
10. Where is her favorite place to nap/sleep? On a pillow at the foot of our bed, or one of our computer chairs

11. Is she a people kitty? (goes to strangers) No, she doesn't like strangers. She is normally a very outgoing cat with a strong personality, but around strangers she turns into a completely different cat.
12. Name something that annoys Nora. If you sing the Dora the Explorer song, but say Nora instead of Dora. It drives her nuts. My son also annoys her.

6. Is there a type of food that you don't like? I absolutely cannot stand celery.

7. What piece of furniture is your favorite? I love our bedroom furniture, but I like our bed the most.

8. What is your favorite piece of clothing that you own? I don't really have one particular piece that I like better, but my favorite type is sweatshirts.

9. What is the best advice anyone has given you? No one has ever really given me any advice.

10. If you had a theme song, which would it be? Perfect by Simple Plan

11. List one accomplishment you're proud of! Getting a 99% average in my CNA class and was top of my class.

12. Do you have any recurring dreams? Yes, I've had recurring dreams all my life. Lately I have been dreaming about a family I used to nanny for, at least 2-3 times per week.

1. Do you drink alcohol? If so, what's your favorite drink? I rarely drink, maybe once or twice a month at home? I'm not a bar type of person. I can't handle liquor b/c I don't get drunk until I've had close to 20 shots, and then it all hits me at once and I get sick. I'm fine with wine, but it gives me a "mean" drunk, which never happens with liquor or beer. I can drink beer just fine, and I never get sick from it. My favorite drink is Bud Light Lime or Blue Moon with orange juice/slices.

2. Do you smoke? No

3. Where would your dream vacation be? I would love to spend more than one day (like on our cruise) in St Martin. I would love to be able to see more and explore it more thoroughly. Otherwise I'd love to go to Australia.

4. Do you like to cook? No. I'm not very good at multitasking b/c I have a one track mind, so the few times I have tried to cook a meal I do great on the main dish but forget or fail the side dishes. My husband is the cook in our family. I'm really good at baking though!

5. Since you don't like chocolate, what's your favorite candy? Anything sugary like SweetTarts, bubble gum, Bottle Caps, etc. I'm a candy junky.

6. What's your favorite holiday besides Christmas? Forth of July

My family also went to the Mayan Ruins near Cozumel during a cruise, but I had horrible sea sickness and couldn't handle the ferry so I stayed behind.
3.- Have you ever hearded about MÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]rida Yucatán MÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]xico????.... Is the place where I´m live!….As you can see in Yucatán is locatated Chichen Itza (Mayan Ruins) one of the New 7 wonders of the Modern world!...
