I have several faves. On Sundays: American Dreams and Cold Case, On Tuesdays: NCIS, On Wednesdays: Lost, on Thursdays: Life as we know it, nothing on friday's, sometimes GlobeTrekker on Saturdays...If I had cable I'd watch more animal cops and COPS cuz I think Cops is funny. I also like antiques roadshow.

I prefer City, but the great thing about places like Portland, Seattle (and even Eugene to a degree) is that you can have all three (plus mountains!)

21. What did you do for your last birthday?
Went to the bank to deposit birthday money I'd received from relatives..took some of that out. Took myself to lunch at a little cafe nearby. Then I went to two antique stores and bought myself some cheap vintage clothing (and a Victorian nightgown which is really cool) and then I met Larry in downtown Eugene and he bought me dinner at Poppy's, which serves Greek and Indian food and I can't remember what he gave me for my birthday...I think it was a Tibetan singing bowl and a gift certificate to House of Records for some music.

Kind of in-between....I don't like to get up very early, but I have a hard time staying up REAL late. I'm more of a night-owl than a morning person, though.
8 or 8 1/2, depends on shoe.
28. Do you have any pets?
Larry and I have an aquarium with some cool fish in it. I named them once, but I've forgotten all their names. I think my one remaining green barb is named either Sylvia (Plath) or Anne (Sexton) and my 1 remaining cherry barb is named Rhett (Butler)..ha ha..I'm a dork!

I have completed 41,000 out of 50,000 words required for me to finish the www.nanowrimo.com novel writing project..I kick some writin' ASS! I'm not so sure the quality is as good as the quantity, though! By the way, I wrote that (69 pages) in only two weeks...OH YEA..GOO ME!
30. What did you want to be when you were little?
Ok, first I wanted to be a nun, but then I wanted to be a saint (!! I had a weird 1 month religious phase when I was about 11!) and then I wanted to be a ballet dancer and then I wanted to be a speech pathologist and then I wanted to be a vet (cats only) and now I might like to be a creative writing teacher at a university OR maybe a counselor specializing in panic disorder (the blind leading the blind..ha ha!)
