A. Attached or single? Attached.

B. Best friend?
I keep all my friends near and dear. But my longest-running, closest friends are my family members, my BFF since first grade, and William.I'm not really into hierarchy though. It seems mean.

C. Cake or pie? Coconut cream pie. Otherwise, cake. Red velvet's my favorite.

D. Day of choice? Saturday. I'd pick Sunday if Monday didn't come after it.

E. Essential item? Mascara.

F. Favorite color? Pink or purple. Black for clothing.

The dub!

I. Favorite indulgence? Massage.

I think so, someday.

Love (not just the married kind), books, music, tasty food, and a dog.

M. Marriage date? May 27, 2008.

N. Number of brothers and sisters? One sister, one brother. I'm lucky 'cos mine are super awesometastic. And I get one of each.

T. Tag 5 people. I don't want to make anyone do this...but if you do, let me know you did!

U. Unknown fact about me?
I'm an open book, it's hard to come up with these types of things. Maybe some of you don't know that I've won three spelling bees.

V. Vegetable?
spring sugar snap peas, asparagus, broccoli, red peppers, kohlrabi, corn on the cob, butternut squash, cilantro (is that a veggie?), homegrown tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, carrots...I like vegetables a lot.

W. Worst habit? Picking at and biting the dry, dry skin around my nails.procrastinating.

X. X-ray or ultrasound? Yucko either way. But an ultrasound might mean a baby! So that's super cool.

Y. Your favorite foods? Mom's spaghetti. Pineapple. Cheese. Greek yogurt. Farmer's Market veggies. Pot roast. Fresh homegrown tomatoes. Haralson apples. Bacon. Ice cream. Anything from a Thai restaurant, pretty much. I love food. Life is too short to not enjoy it.

Z. Zodiac sign? Sagittarius, and it suits me well.

When I was 9 or 10, I woke up one morning to discover that I'd slept on top of a centipede in my bed. I squashed it flat to its death.

The fact that it was dead didn't stop me from screaming bloody murder, though.

Good thing I was a fat kid.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You finally caught up to me. I thought I was going to be older than you forever! :)

We have the exact same worst habit. No I mean we even said it the same way. Hmmmm...I wonder :) Maybe it's our dry, dry midwest skin.

I agree with you on centipedes. Devil bugs. And what makes Sunday a bit disappointing. But I like bananas.

Happy Birthday Katie! From a fellow blogger, Warrior and one-time citizen of the Dub.
