Favorite color:       Blue – cobalt or periwinkle blue (both are purplish-blue)

Favorite number:    3

Favorite season:     Spring (everything’s in bloom.  Renewal after winter)

Favorite day of the week:   Sunday (relaxing)

Favorite place in the United States:  Savannah, GA is one of them (went to college there, did a lot of growing up there, it is a beautiful historic walk-able city)

Favorite place in the world (so far):  Cinque Terre – hiking along the cliffs on the coast of Italy was an adventure and amazingly beautiful.

Favorite vacation:  honeymoon to Spain.  It was the first time that we had ever gone overseas.  It opened our eyes to the whole world and changed our perspective about the place in which we live. 

Favorite tv show:  My name is Earl

Favorite movie:      Since I was a kid, it’s been Back to the Future (I had a huge crush on Michael J Fox… and still sort of do.)  A more recent movie that I can watch over & over:  Keeping the Faith (Jenna Elfman, Ed Norton, Ben Stiller)

Favorite book:      Girl in Hyacinth Blue – a story about a painting and its previous owners.  It went backwards starting with the current owner and ended with the paintings creation.

Favorite things to do:  travel (explore), garden (I get a thrill when something actually grows that I’ve planted & nurtured), and dabbling around in the art studio. I used to enjoy baking more, but don't do it as much since we're trying to be healthier.

Favorite moment with spouse:  any time spent laughing with one another.

Favorite gift: the glass vase that Todd bought for me in college.  I had looked at it in the window for months.  He acted surprised and just as sad as I was when it was gone from the window.  He was so proud when I opened it up for my birthday and was completely surprised – I had no idea that it was missing from that store window because he bought it.

Car I drive:  I drive a hybrid – which is pretty cool… but I really miss my convertible (VW Cabrio) that I had before it.  Maybe I should get one of those convertible VW Bugs that’s a diesel… and I can use biodiesel in it (that way I can fulfill my conscious by driving a responsible vehicle, but I can also fulfill that need for fresh air running through my hair as I drive) 

My addictions:  Burt’s Bee Lip Balm (seriously) and my boiled wool slippers.  As soon as I get home, I have to put them on! 

Favorite music:  I have a lot of genres that I enjoy… Alternative Rock, Blues, and Electronica (Chill, Trip-hop, Beats, and Industrial – opposite ends of the spectrum, but I like the laid back stuff and the hard stuff, but not so much in between)

Favorite foods:  Black beans.  Asparagus.  Sun-dried tomatoes.  Ice cream.  Peanut butter. 

New Favorite Object:  cute cute cute Kitty Cat shoes!  How can you not smile when looking at them?  I know it will embarrass Todd when I wear them – just like when I used to carry around my frog umbrella before it broke.   I will get a thrill embarrassing our children too… isn’t that what parents are supposed to do?!
