I've been tagged by Red so here goes:

Available or single: I wish I'd known there was a difference when i was "available" or "single". Married, paired, partnered.

Best friend: D.

Cake or pie: Depends on the flavour. How about sis's vegan cheesecake which is both cake and pie. It's unbelievably good. Vegans, and non-vegans all rave over her cheesecake. Hmm. time to get that recipe.

Drink of choice: I'll have to say smoothie overall. (wait have I done this before?). My favorite smoothie recipe: 1 banana, 3 tbls of my hemp protein powder, 3/4 cup or more of my favorite juice (usually berry in nature), 1 kiwi, a splash of flax seed oil. Everything goes into the blender and then into my belly.

Essential item: Running shoes. They don't really go with the more glamourous clothes, but then neither do I.

Favourite colour: I love green, but I seem to wear a lot of blue. Curious.

Gummi Bears or Worms: worms, as in earth worms for the garden. (I have done this before haven't I?)

Hometown: Saint John, N.B. I really grew up in Grand Bay, but we also lived in Saint John and it was really central to my life growing up.

Indulgence: soy-whip

January or February: February brings me closer to summer.

Kids: Yeah, kids are okay. I worked with kids for a few years. I have cats though.

Life is incomplete without: writing

Marriage date: April 19, 1999

Number of siblings: 2 (as far as I know. Mom? Dad?) I have an older sister and and older brother. I'd say I have a potential step-sister as well just because P. is more like my dad than my dad and his daughter and I share the same birthday which I think is very very cool.

Oranges or apples: Apples. Raw, tossed in salads, apple sauce, apple crisp, apple pie, apple spice muffins or cakes. Did I forget something?

Phobias/fears: Where to begin? I'll stick to the phobia since i know what it is for sure. Spiders. It's absurd I know, but there you have it. I can't help it.

Quote, favorite: "I don't know, internet?" - Homer Simpson (This is in response to Marge asking, "how will the children get home?")

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men." - Alice Walker (see I have done this because I remember the Dorothy Parker quote from last time which I'll leave out this time).

Reasons to smile: The cats, especially Gigi's many expressions and quirks. I'll think of Gigi when I'm at work just to make myself smile. The mountains around us because I just need to look up when I'm walking and see them in the distance or I can take a short bike ride and go for a hike in them. Life with D., but that goes without saying.

Season: summer

Tag three: I'm going family on this. Sis, mom, D. So you'll have to post in my comment window or email me to post in the comment window or on a blog page.

Unknown fact about me: I once took ballet. ( I realized this was an unknown fact when I mentioned it at dinner last night and D shook his head in disbelief).

Vegetarian or oppressor of animals: Disturbing choice of words here as if "oppressor of animals" can be taken lightly, so I'm obviously Vegan.

Worst habit: Procrastinating.

X-rays or ultrasounds: Huh? Depends on what's wrong with me. I like the word "x-ray" better.

Your favorite foods: D's pasta with any sauce, but most recently his vodka tomato sauce has been outstanding! I'll also include D's pizza, D's caponata ( I had it again last night so it's rekindled my craving for it), D's wine (does that count as food? It does sustain me so I suppose it does). You get the picture. If D. makes it, it's damn good.

Zodiac: Cancer
