ABC Meme

Accent: I live in the middle, I don’t have an accent. People from the south think I come from Wisconsin; a Canadian friend liked my “southern” accent.

Breakfast: McSkillet Burrito and sweet tea. This will change in two weeks, when I will eat bran flakes and skim milk. Heh.

Chore: Least favorite – washing dishes. Closest to a favorite – laundry.

Dog or Cat: Dog, but I am currently dogless. I like cats but I am allergic to them.

Essential Electronic: Phone because I like hearing the voices of the people I love; computer because it is the source of entertainment, information, shopping, contact, etc.

Gold or Silver: Only silver or white gold.

Naughtiest Childhood Habit: I was a big liar, even though my parents always found me out…often because I couldn’t stand the guilt and ‘fessed up.
