Tag! I'm It!

I had a much more serious topic on my mind for posting this week, but I opted to go for some fun instead.  My fellow blogger (who just happened to win an award for best book blog at the Black Weblog Awards this year) "tagged" me on her blog Reads4Pleasure to answer these fun questions.  Even if you don't blog, take a shot at answering some of the questions in the comments section.  I'd love to learn more about my readers.

Seven Random Things About Me:

  1. I am NOT a morning person ... never have been and don't plan on becoming one.  My perfect work hours would 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. unless I get blessed enough to work my own gig at home ... then I'm pretty sure I'll have vampire hours - up all night and sleeping until noon.
  2. I have a small tattoo on my shoulder -- it was a rose.  I was hanging with one of my more free-spirited friends and we decided to just do it.   When I used to play the "getting to know you games" in corporate america I always put I had a tattoo and no one ever pegged me as the mystery person. 
  3. I really need to live near water.  It's soothing to my soul. 
  4. Potato chips are my weakness. 
  5. I love swimming.    
  6. I'm afraid of heights. 
  7. I would have made a great hippie.   
Q&A Session:
Favorite color:  I don't really have one as far as clothing. 
Favorite song:  Hard to pick one.  I love music (especially the oldies) so it depends on my mood.  If you're going to make me pick one I'll go with Teena Marie's DeJa Vu.   
Favorite dessert:  Homemade German Chocolate cake.
Biggest pet peeve: People who define themselves by their material possessions.  Who are you though? 
When You Are Upset, You:  Listen to music or escape into a book. 
Your Favorite Pet:  Doggie Princess. 
Black or White:  Why limit yourself? 
Biggest fear:  I won't live long enough to see the grand grow up. 
Best Feature:  My caring spirit. 
Everyday Attitude:  I try to live by the Golden Rule as much as possible: Treat others the way you want you be treated. 
What is Perfection?:  Sitting on a deck facing the ocean with nothing but the waves and seagulls as background noise, reading a book by day and walking along with the beach at sunset. 
Guilty Pleasure:  Self admitted TV junkie.
