Silly Facebook Note

1. What time did you get up this morning: In a rare feat of willpower, I was out of bed at 11ish. I'm really proud of myself.

2. How do you like your steak? Usually medium rare... but I'm trying to wean myself off mammals.

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? Harry Potter. Probably got the swine flu from sitting next to a snotty kid.

4. What is your favorite TV show? This is my Sophie's Choice. Can't do it.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? Having just moved away from all my friends and family, I'm really tempted to say St. Louis but that's lame. I would want to live on an ocean liner and travel to a new port whenever I wanted. Plus, Georgie looks super cute in his life jacket.

6. What did you have for breakfast? Two pieces of Fiber One bread with strawberry jam. Gotta keep regular.

7. What is your favorite cuisine? Diet Coke.

8. What foods do you dislike? Anything that looks gross. And veal and foi gras.

9. Favorite Place to Eat? Anywhere with an awesome view. And Diet Coke--please don't even try to pass off Diet Pepsi. Seriously.

10. Favorite dressing? Newman's Own makes me nostalgic, but I have quite the vinegar collection.

11. What kind of vehicle do you drive? Santa Fe in Boston. We still have our '66 Mustang in St. Louis. 

12. What are your favorite clothes? Dresses and skirts used to be my fav---now that Billy has to dress up everyday, I'm a big fan of his clothes.

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance? Well, since I'm going to live on an ocean liner, I guess I would have to visit somewhere inland. I want to take a train through Italy, ferry over to Greece, sail to Africa, and safari it up in Tanzania and Botswana.

14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? What's a cup? I drink straight out of the can.

15. Where would you want to retire? Currently retired in Boston. 

16. Favorite time of day? Agh. This is so pathetic: whenever Bill gets home.

17. Where were you born? St. Louis.

18. What is your favorite sport(s) to watch? Pee-wee ice hockey. Bill and Otis wrassling.

19. Bird watcher? I find my self honestly wishing that I had paid more attention to my dad and granny on our many (at the time) boring bird watching expeditions. I'm pretty good and spotting hawks and I can tell the difference between a flamingo and a robin.

20. Are you a morning person or a night person? I don't understand the question. 

21. Do you have any pets? If you don't know the answer, then you don't know me.

22. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share? I'm going to a J Crew outlet today!!!

23. What did you want to be when you were little? Two things: cleaning lady in Hannibal and the first woman president of the United States. I've failed at both.

24. What is your best(s) childhood memory? My brother and I teasing our dad, boating with my grandparents, singing with my mom at the piano, summer days at the club pool and dinner with the grownups, Sundays at Gem City, my dad rescuing Fritz, lots and lots of laughter... everything about my childhood is pretty rosy from this viewpoint. Definitely a lucky girl.

25. Are you a cat or dog person? When I was little, I used to want a cat desperately, but my dad was too allergic. My solution, as I told anyone who'd listen, was that as soon as my dad would die, I'd get a cat... now I'm the allergic one. Dogs are way cooler, anyway, especially George and Otis. Someday, they'll be on Letterman. Just wait.

26. Are you married? Yes... just maybe not legally. 

27. Always wear your seat belt? Duh.

28. Been in a car accident? Knock on wood, not with other cars... just inanimate objects like a certain deadly dumpster.

29. Any pet peeves? Ignorance and chores.

30. Favorite Pizza Toppings? goat cheese and sundried tomatoes.

31. Favorite Flower? Sunflowers always make me think of my momma, white hydrangeas remind me of my wedding, but peonies from my parents' front yard are my all-time favorite.

32. Favorite ice cream? Baskin Robbins Peanut Butter and Chocolate, which apparently is just a winter flavor in Boston. Oreo cake batter is pretty good.

33. Favorite fast food restaurant? Crazy Bowls and Wraps. Sniff, sniff. I miss it so much!

40. What was your favorite vacation? As much as I bitched about it, my first trip with Bill--driving to Yellowstone and the Tetons for camping. I had no idea that we would actually be camping on the way to go camping, had to buy a camping purse, threw up from yelling "no bears" over and over again to scare the grizzlies away... but it was an awesome two weeks.

41. Last person you went out to dinner with? Two of Bill's fellow interns, Clay and Renee. We went to Todd English's Fig last night in Beacon Hill. Eh.
