Q. Quotes- I love so many quotes. Here is a recent favorite: I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. Jane Austen,
Pride and Prejudice

S. Season of choice? SUMMER

T. Tag 5 people: Jessica G., Debra, Camille, Shelley and Jen Schlenker

U. Unknown fact about me? I have the craziest, most un-timely, unprodutive system for cleaning the house. I hate cleaning everything all in one spurt so I set up a work and reward system. I usually set a timer for 15 mintues and clean as much as I can. Once the timer goes off I set it for 7 minutes and until it goes off again I can do whatever I want - it just has to be fun. I usually read, or work on a craft project, etc. After 7 minutes the cycle starts again until the house is clean. It's really weird, I know.

V. Vacation of choice? Anywhere next to the beach. Vacation to me means spending as much time as possible doing nothing. Comfortable nothing - like lounging and drinking fruity drinks. RJ thinks of vacation as backpacking through the woods without a trail ,and then catching out dinner in a small, insect ladden, brush filled stream. We have interesting family discussions about vacation...

X. X-ray or ultrasound? Ultrasound. I've never had one but they sure sounds exciting.

Y. Your favorite food? Such a hard question....sushi, guacamole and chips, cheese of all kinds, veggie burritos, cut up veggies with blue cheese dressing, watermellon, cherries

Z. Zodiac sign? Scorpio. But Zodiac stuff is ridiculous. I can't stand it.
