D. Dogs: Always wanted a dog but it never works out. :(
We had a lab/Chesapeake Bay mix once.
His name was Barnabus and he was absolutely beautiful.
He ate the barn.
Literally.
As far up as he could reach, he chewed all the 1"x 4" trim
from around the doors and such.
Then he chewed the fog lights off the Hubster's work truck.
Then he found a new home. :(

E. Essential start to your day: LOVE me some diet Dr. Pepper, and I've tried so hard to stay away from it in order to get off the caffeine.
But alas, I am human.

Zero.

No lessons or anything like that.
But I can pick out a tune on a piano and I LOVE music.
When I was a kid, we had a Lowery Genie 88.

I spent hours and hours sitting there,
learning the songs in the books that came with it.
Yes, I was a geek.

P. Pet peeves: People who treat others as if they're beneath them. (We all put our britches on one leg at a time, people!)
People who judge others based on rumor and hearsay.
Can't we all just get along???

Q. Quote from a movie:
The baseball lover in me adores this one:
"Hey, is this heaven?"
"No, it's Iowa."
(Would that not be THE most fantastic thing a baseball lover could ever see?
All those amazing dudes walking out of a cornfield to PLAY BALL!!!)
and the romantic in me loves this one:
"Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
What can I say. I'm well rounded. ; )

U. Underwear: Yes. ; )
V. Vegetables you don't like: I LOVE most veggies!
My dislikes would be most squash (it's slimy, people!), eggplant, avocado (which I had to look up to be sure it isn't a fruit...either way, I don't like it), and I'm sure there are some more exotic veggies I haven't tasted or liked.
I LOVE asparagus, broccoli, corn, peppers, onions, green beans, peas, carrots, etc.

W. What makes you run late: I try SO very hard to not be late and typically,

at the moment.
This x-ray probably caused me the most grief though.
(Well, one much like it. I Googled for this one.)
All four wisdom teeth were impacted and I had to be knocked out
while they cut them out.
Good times.
NOT.
