Obviously not the folks over at the Friday Five... this is starting to get discouraging.

So I'm going to borrow from someone with land who borrowed from someone else and present...

THE ABC's OF ME.

Act your age? Yeah, right!
Born on what day of the week? Saturday
Chore you hate? Laundry and all things associated with it. That or gardening. I'm still trying to decide, but I think it's just a matter of the fact that I suck at outdoor stuff.
Dad's name? Angelo
Essential makeup item? Makeup? What's that? I use chapstick once in a while, does that count?
Favorite actor? Um... Um... you really want to see the list?
Gold or silver? Silver lately, but have been making my way back to gold. Too bad it wasn't about favorite gemstone... which is garnet, I think...maybe sapphire... then there's amethyst... and emerald...
Hometown? Vallejo, CA but I don't consider it home anymore. And never will if I can help it.
Instruments you play? Piano, and my voice is an instrument as well.
Job? Sr. Business Analyst (a.k.a. Master Number Twister)
Kids? 2 - both girls; A = 8 1/2, B = 7... does a dog count?
Living arrangements? Married, two kids, own house, dog owns us.
Mom's name? Mary
Need? Nothing, really, although a job for DH that would make his deliriously happy would be nice.
Overnight hospital stays? Childbirth 2x, that's it.
Phobias? I hate ladders. Heights are ok, but I hate ladders. Earwigs bug me too.
Quote you like? "Cute but Pyscho, Things Even Out"... and many many many others.
Religious affiliation? Catholic - but please don't hold that against me, my parents made me do it.
Siblings? One younger brother (3 years younger, autistic, off in his own little world... maybe I should answer as an only child instead)
Time you wake up? 5:00 am weekdays... later on weekends, but usually awake by 8 am, if not out of bed.
Unique talent? Talent, me? Um...
Worst habit? Junk food. But I won't give it up, I'll just exercise harder.
X-rays you've had? Dental and Chest (multiple chest x-rays with asthma as a child - nothing like being 5, scared, and being covered in x-ray blankets that weigh more than you do)
Yummy food you make? You really want the menu? Well, there's my lasagne, chicken and dumplings, Applesauce Oatie cookies, and lots and lots of other things.
Zodiac Sign? Cancer.
