A to Z meme

It's been a long time since I've done a meme, but this looks like a fun one. I've been tagged by Gail, at Crossing the Rubicon, for the following A to Z meme:

Accent:
Peculiarly my own. Western, with a tinge of European parents.

Booze:
Chocolate milkshake.

Chore I Hate:
All of 'em. My chief dislike would probably be unpacking after a long trip, with folding laundry a close second.

Dogs/Cats:
Woof, woof, woof.

Essential Electronics:
My computer and my TiVo.

Favorite Perfume/Cologne:
Lily of the Valley/Hawaiian White Ginger mix of my own

Gold & Silver:
Huh? Jewelry's cold and bangs around and snags on things. Who needs it?

Hometown:
I'll give you a hint. This Tuesday is the 100th anniversary of a famous event in my home town.

Insomnia:
I have a vague memory of sleeping through the night in the time before children came along….

Job Title:
Ma'am, yes, Ma'am. (I only wish. I think my job title is really "Mommmmyyyyy.")

Kids:
2

Living Arrangements:
Quintessential middle class suburban home, complete with family wrapped around me.

Most Admired Trait:
Kindness, with intelligence trailing closely.

Number of Sexual Partners:
Now that's a bit personal, isn't it?

Overnight Hospital Stays:
Too many.

Phobia:
Short list or long? Here's the short list: snakes, spiders, flying, drowning.

Quote:
"Don't sweat the small stuff." (At least, that's my quote for today.)

Religion:
Loosey, goosey, ill-informed, non-religious Judaism.

Siblings:
Yes.

Time I Usually Wake Up:
6:00

Unusual Talent:
I read faster than anyone I know. And, surprisingly, I'm fairly good at darts.

Vegetable I Refuse To Eat:
Brussell sprouts. Blech.

Worst Habit:
Nervous chatter.

X-Rays:
Is there something you're not telling me here?

Yummy Foods I Make:
Hot & sour soup, chocolate pudding and cinnamon rolls. My culinary skills leave much to be desired.

Zodiac Sign:
Cancer

Well, that was fun. So much fun, in fact, that I'd be selfish if I just spread it to two or three people. If you're reading this post, consider yourself tagged — and be sure to let me know what your answers are.
