Now I've Said My ABCs

I saw this on Mandy's blog and loved it. It was a fun idea so I thought I would give it a try! I tag EVERYONE to do the same!

*Accent: Canadian I guess! Do people from Ontario have a specific accent. People always tell me that I'm sooo Toronto, so maybe I have a Toronto accent. Who knows?!

* Bible Book That I Like: Uhm... probably Psalms, but I've been reading through Isaiah, and it is excellent!

* Chore I Don't Care For: Laundry. I used to love doing laundry for whatever reason, but since moving into an apartment where the laundry room is on the second floor, I find it such a pain. You will be surprised to learn, however, that James and I only did laundry ONCE in our apartment. Since he lived with his parents and then mine, I would send the laundry home with him and he did it!! What a sweetie!

* Dog or Cat: Cats, but I'm allergic. So I've resigned myself to fall in love with dogs. James promised to buy me a puppy 5 years from our wedding date and I am anxiously waiting! I want a scruffy little dog I think...something non-allergenic and he/she will be named "Gary" (but it will be spelled Gehry - after the architect).

* Essential Electronic: My laptop. If that thing ever died I would probably fail the rest of law school.

* Favorite Movie: Life as a House

* Gold or Silver: White gold. Love it, love it, love it!

* Handbag I Carry Most Often: The Coach bag my mom bought me in New York City on Canal Street!

* Insomnia: Nope.

* Job Title: Summer Law Student for Crown Law Office - Criminal of the Ministry of the Attorney General. What a mouthful!

* Kids: None - but I still feel like a kid half the time...

* Living Arrangements: Oh dear... this is a long story. Right now, I live with my husband in my parents house!! Not ideal, I know, but we didn't want to pay rent here and in my school town (London). In September, I will be living in London (for school) with a roommate, Una (Una’s fiance now lives in BC, where they will both end up when she is done this next 8 months of law school). James, who teaches closer to Toronto, will remain with my parents. After the 8 months is up, James and I will look for our own place and will FINALLY live in the same city in our own space, for the first time since being married. So crazy!

* Most Memorable Moment: July 9, 2005 - my wedding day. It was just perfect.

* Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Being grumpy after an afternoon nap - I was a bear when I woke up from naps and was often sent back to my room. I still do not enjoy napping because when I wake up, I feel miserable.

* Overnight Hospital Stays: None.

* Phobias: Spiders and moths.

* Quotes: Anything by Maya Angelou. Here are two:

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

"While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation." - Maya Angelou

* Religion: Christian

* Siblings: Younger brother and younger sister. My extended family through marriage, however, now includes three sisters (two older, one younger) and two brothers-in-law (one older, one younger). I love a big family!

* Time I Wake Up: 6:00am... argh.

* Unusual Talent: When I walk into any retail clothing store, I can tell you immediately what the most expensive item is and then I want it. James would argue that it is a curse more than a talent.

* Vegetables I Refuse to Eat: Olives, Mushrooms (I'm working on this one because they smell so good!), Zucchini and Eggplant. Blech!

* Worst Habit: Checking my e-mail one hundred times a day.

* X-Rays: All on my mouth. I knocked out my front tooth in grade 6 and had two root canals and an implant (titanium screw implanted into my upper jaw). Good times...

* Yummy Stuff I Cook: HAHA! Okay, I can cook some stuff - chili, stirfry, canneloni... but James is the real cook.

* Zoo Animals I Like Most: No question about it, the polar bears.
