This is the first time I've done a Meme. Thank you so much Barb for including me and for being so encouraging and sweet. You have made this even more fun than it already was!

What was your favorite thing about being a kid?
Playing pretend. I had, and still have, a vivid imagination. I could just imagine myself as anyone in any place at any time. A book or movie became "real life" to me for weeks on end. I loved to create story-lines for my sister and I to live out, and since I was the oldest I always got the starring role.

What was your favorite subject in school?
That's an easy one - English. I absolutely love to read and write; I just love words. Math, on the other hand, made me feel as though I had landed on another planet where they all spoke a strange language that I simply could not learn.

Who was your best friend when you were ten?

Christine. She lived a few houses down in our little sub-division. She was another of the actors in the stories I was forever creating.

If you could be any animal who would you be?
Nothing springs to mind on this one, but I think I'd like to be an eagle. I imagine soaring above the earth would be pretty neat.

What's your favorite color?
Pink! There's just something about pink. Until recently our bedroom was painted pink, and I began to think maybe that wasn't exactly fair to my husband. So...it's a pretty shade of green now.

What's your favorite type of crust and favorite topping on a pizza?
When we lived in New York there was a pizza shop that made pizzas with a really thick crust and had absolutely everything on it- onions, peppers, mushrooms, pepperoni - the works. It was the best pizza I've ever eaten. Although my little Italian mother can make a pretty mean pizza too!
