Gotta love it when something is on the downswing and you start feeling more like yourself. I really do today. Yay! Of course my goofy back thing is still bugging me, but my head feels so much better and I no longer sound like a bullfrog (now just have a sorta husky sexy voice, or so I've been told). I hope I have more juice at the end of the day today to start some designing... I sat down to do some stuff last night and didn't get very far before I conked out.

My guest CT Muka tagged me the other day, and I realized last night that I'd forgotten to do the tag thus far. So, without further ado...

Your Partner?
The wonderful, talented, and extraordinarily funny Mike, with whom I will celebrate 15 years of marriage in July. Yay!

Your hair?
Dark blonde. I've been getting highlights to bring it back more to my childhood color for a number of years now. I think I look better lighter blonde. But I am indeed a natural blonde!

Your Mama?
My mom is seriously the BEST! She is very giving, fun, funny, a great listener, always cheerful, fantastic, terrific, great... seriously, I want to be more like her when I grow up and I tell her that all the time!

Your Dad?
A bit high-strung, but he's mellowing as he gets older and I'm finding as we both get older, he's really quite a lot like me in a number of ways. He's also very funny, a bit quieter than my mom, a bit of a goofball, very interested in reading and learning new things.

Your dream last night?
I had a dream about a day job client and a concert of his... I was running around trying to find the photographer who was supposed to be there. Nothing exciting, not close to anything that has happened recently, yet another example of how day job stress works itself out while I sleep, I guess.

Your favorite drink?
Coca-Cola, fully caffeinated and full of sugar, thanks! I also ADORE Propel Water, black cherry flavor. I can drink that by the gallon.

In which room are you now?
My home office. Where I spend way too much of my time... LOL!

Your fear?
Losing people I love.

What do you wanna be in 10 years?
I hope I have kids at that point. I can't say what I want to be besides that, happy, healthy... that's what it's all about, really.

With whom did you spend the last evening?
Mike. We watched a bit of TV, I tried to design, and I fell asleep on the couch at 10 p.m. I'm SOOOO exciting!

What are you not?
Short!!!!!!! (I'm 6'2")

Your favorite book?
This is a tough question because I read soooooo much. I have favorite authors: Jasper Fforde, Bill Bryson, Jane Austen... I love everything, really. I love to read. Total bookaholic.

Last thing you ate?
Some cinnamon pita chips as a pseudo breakfast.

Your mood?
Content.

Your friends?
The best. I have them all over the world, really, at this point, and I am so grateful to have each and every one of them in my life. They are a true blessing and one I never take lightly. They mean everything to me.

Your summer?
Summer so far has been really busy!!! Wonderfully so. And, thank goodness, not unbearably hot for more than a day or two yet.

When did you cry the last time?
Monday morning when my brother and his family left. I always cry when I have to say goodbye to my family. I don't get to see them nearly as much as I would like.

Favorite weekend hobby?
Playing in PhotoShop - designing [Completely unrelated: the neighbor's cat is standing on my office window ledge, outside, and looking at me... so funny!], reading, hanging out with Mike and watching DVD's.

Job you dream of?
I'm already doing it, although truth be told, I'd still like to publish a book someday.

Your Computer?
Dell Inspiron 5150 Laptop. It does the trick!

Winter?
Love it! I love cold weather and I love snow.

Religion?
Methodist, although not exactly a regular church-goer.

Holidays?
We always split Thanksgiving and Christmas to be fair -- one year, it's T-giving with my family, Christmas with Mike's, and the next year we flip-flop.

On your bed?
sheet, one blanket (it is summer after all). I have two pillows, Mike sleeps with three. (I know, weird, right?)

Love?
...is all you need... (didn't somebody sing a song about that?)

I am tagging: Melissa, Robin, Susie, Melinda, Erin (even though she went to the enemy school, GA Tech - LOL).
