Disclaimer: My apologies...I've been so busy writing lately that I hardly have time for anything more than this sort of thing. There's been a 100 Things About Me groove going around LJ lately, but I have a short attention span so I'm going to cut that list in half. I mean, even a trivia queen can only take so much! ; )

21. One of my sons is named after a character in a Maurice Sendak book.

Tell us about the Armenians!! Cool. I'll have to find my Armenian recipes now that I'm thinking about it.
My feet are always cold too. :)

Ha! My crazy Armenians...that's a really sweet story and I'll definitely tell it when I have the time to do it justice. Hey, do you wear houseshoes a lot? I must have about 10 pairs of the things, all different kinds...fuzzy, bearclaws, feathers, sparkles, leopard spots...you name it! : )

Re:


I need houseshoes. It is my goal. I had a wonderful pair with cow heads on them, but they frightened my cats so much that one night they snuck in and ate my shoes. Doh.

Houseshoes with ladybugs... yes. :)

Awwwww!


50 just isn't enough! Besides, the original dare was to post 100 things, so now you owe us 50 more.

Yep. ::nods::

My supah-dupah badass D.A. lady badge. Hardly ever use it, but it's nice to have since I guess I look more like a drug defendant than a lawyer. ; )

Ha!!


No! I can't believe I never thought of that before...I should just do the whole E.T. face on my toenail. : )

woo! crochet and knitting!

in other news.... new york city is a great place for kids! it's so educational! i find this place to be intellectual nirvana. opera! museums! universities! ny is book country!

kids also learn to distrust strangers, a lesson not taught often enough in suburbia, i think.

If I had more money to burn I might actually consider it...but on the lowly salary I get working for "the man" I could probably barely manage a nice cardboard box for all of us off Times Square. Educational, to be sure...but not as much fun as growing up in the country. I really do love NYC, though. There's just no other place like it. : )

Re: you sound like a really great person.


And you, my dear, just made my day with such a wonderful compliment! Thanks!!! : ) Yes, it's always me in the photos. I am definitely in love with life, that is a constant through even the worst of it. As for you, 19 is wonderful, full of possibilities!
