Happy iPad Day

Yesterday was the best birthday I've had in years. Caught up with some friends online. Got three flower arrangements and three surprise phone calls! Awesome dinner at one of my very favorite restaurants, too. Kimberly gets the award for Birthday Card That Almost Made Me Pee My Pants: "At our age, I guess it's time we finally admit something. Neither of us is likely to marry a member of Duran Duran." Bwahaha! Speak for yourself, sister! :p

Off to H-Town today for the big party!

Saturday 9: Hurts So Good

1. Tell us about the last time you really got hurt.
Physically? This ridiculous knee thing. The mystery injury without a story. Before that, it was stepping on a sewing needle New Year's Eve of 2009 and having it lodge deep in a tendon. Had to have it removed in the ER by a doctor with giant pliers. Now THAT's a story.

2. What's your oldest possession?
Personal possession I've had the longest- a custom wine glass my father had made the day I was born
Oldest possession in our home-  my great-grandmother Lee's diamond pin, probably from the 1930's

3. Do you have any phobias?
I can be claustrophobic in certain places, but not to an extreme.

4. What values did your parents instill in you?
enjoyment of life, independence, creativity, empathy

5. What are your plans for Easter?
Hoping the weather will be nice so we can do something outside together.

6. I like sun more than snow.
Yes I do. Snow is a pain. Pretty to look at though. Nice to visit.

7. Tell us about 3 fads from your teenage years.
Big hair, shoulder pads, plastic jewelry

8. Tell us what is the most important attribute in a lover.
Other than being smokin' hot? ;) Sense of humor. Not necessarily "funny" per se, but someone who likes to laugh, who can see the light side of things.

9. What new piece of technology have you resisted buying and what would it take for you to change your mind?
iPhone. It would take a reduction in the monthly data plan cost. Maybe.
