Just got tagged

E- Essential Item: At least 2-3 hours a week of mommy time-out/alone time (no hubby, no kids, etc.)

N- Number of Siblings: 1 brother, 2 sisters
O- Oranges or Apples: Apples
P- Phobias or Fears: Cockroaches and icky slimy tree frogs. Also, stepping in the wrong place and falling through the attic floor and landing splat on the garage floor. (Hence the reason I decorate for holidays 2-3 days before the actual holiday and it stays up 2-3 weeks after the holiday. I am 100% dependent upon Cristian and his schedule to get up in the attic and get all my holiday stuff down for me.)

U- Unknown Fact About Me: I was a couple of classes away from finishing my Master's degree coursework when I was ordered on bed rest while I was pregnant with Tino. I got special permission from my OB/GYN to get out of bed and drive myself to school on the condition that I remained lying down with feet elevated during my classes. I was the only student at the time that my professors had ever had that attended class with a sleeping bag and pillow. All that effort never paid off. Four to five attempts over the course of several years and I never ever did complete my stupid thesis. Now it's been so long that I'd have to start my coursework and thesis ALL OVER AGAIN.
V- Vegetarian or Meat Eater: Meat . . . but it has to be very well seasoned. And absolutely, positively NO American-style turkey. YUCK! And each time we try to be vegetarian around here it lasts no longer than 1 week.
W- Worst Habit: Putting every one else first and not making time for ME. Also, not being very good at saying NO.
X- X-Rays or Ultrasounds: Ultrasounds.
Y- Your Favorite Food: Mexican
Z- Zodiac: Gemini

I got tagged, but aren't we sick of me yet? Gag. I am.

Why no turkey? What about the tryptophan and cranberry sauce?

We have a woman who attends church lying down for the same reason. I want to lie down next to her. It would be hard to not fall asleep during class.

Once I had a lady on a Southwest flight that told me she had to lay down becuase she had a bad back. I told her "Sweety, there is no way you are going to lay in my lap for a 1 hour flight."

the saddest thing about your tag is that I'm so sorry about your graduate work.

I'm THIS CLOSE to finishing my child psychology BS and two quarters to go and Jer gets a job transfer.

Sigh....one day you and I will both get there!

Celia: I will eat turkey as long as it doesn't taste like turkey. If it has lots of spices and/or has been brined or marinated for at least 24 hours, it's all good. I'm not a fan of the American turkey recipe where you sprinkle some salt and pepper on top, put some mayonaisse on the skin so it "browns", pop it in the oven and call it a day. Bring on the spices! And not just a little sprinkle here and there.

Since when didn't you like turkey? Nothing says Thanksgiving like a ham...
