My Take on the Alphabet

I'm probably the last person to do this meme, for which I think Ces tagged me.


A is for age: 38 years old. This is not my actual age but it is how old I would be if I didn’t know how old I am.

B is for beer of choice: I don’t drink. I can’t drink. That’s another story. But if I did drink, I wouldn’t drink beer. I was a fine wine and zambuca girl….

C is for career: I’m a self employed counselor/consultant/trainer who is happily becoming a writer.

D is for favorite Drink: hands down, my favorite is Italian Roast Coffee. Every morning I squeal with delight while it’s brewing.

E is for Essential item(s) you use everyday: Ok, no lipstick, no pearl necklace for me. It’s a pen and paper. I’d be lost and longing without them.

F is for Favorite song at the moment: Eva Cassidy’s Fields of Gold.

H is for How About Whatever Favorite I Choose: Ok, I choose my favorite color. It is green, like grass.

G is for favorite Game: I hate games. I try to avoid board games especially. I will play poker or whist but that’s all. Please don’t ask me to play board games. Please.

I is for Instruments played: Guitar, piano, tuba, trumpet, violin, drums, and sax. No, none of this is true. I made it up to impress for a fleeting second.

J is for favorite Juice: Fresh squeezed orange juice.

K is for Kids: I have one darling daughter of my own and I love kids of all ages and sizes.

L is for last kiss: This afternoon to jb before she left for Newport.

M is for marriage: Yes. 19 years unofficially. 2 years legally. 21 years in all Happily.

N is for full Name: Karen Marie. Not my favorite, but my parents must have liked it.

O is for Overnight hospital stays: one at age 5 when my tonsils were removed; one at age 30 with the birth of my daughter; one at age 33 for a scary biopsy, and one this summer for back surgery.

P is for phobias: I have my share: the worse are being alone at airports, driving in snow and ice, and public speaking (all of which my work requires).

Q is for quote: I like Ces’ "Hell No" or "Hell Yes", I also like “What the frick..”, which I picked up also from guess who.

R is for biggest Regret: hmm. I wish I had saved more money faster. But then again, I’m not sure I would change anything either. If I have to sell shoes at Macy’s when I’m 85, I just hope I don’t have to touch strange feet.

S is for sports: I love baseball. It is mystical and magical. I believe I am an expert on the game.

T is for Time you wake up: varies: sometimes 7:30, sometimes 8, occasionally 6 am.

U is for color underwear: most often black. And they match.

V is for Vegetable you love: Is an artichoke a vegetable? I love artichokes, especially reaching the heart and dipping it in lemon butter or hollidaise sauce.

W is for Worst Habit: I can perseverate and nag in an attempt to have it my way.

X is for X-rays you’ve had: Because I think this is a stupid question, I decline to answer it.

Y is for Yummy food you make: I make a mean garlic and cheese bread, my dad’s spaghetti sauce, and I just
mastered turkey gravy—after at least 300 attempts.

Z is for Zodiac sign: Leo the Lion, but please be aware even though I am regal I have learned humility.

I'm tagging WW and HE: I don't like tags but I'm hungry for information....
