Letters of the Alphabet on a Busy Quiet Night

It's been a long time since I've done silly something like this on my blog. I hope you might do it too. And wouldn't you know I had to deal with my age first thing. I must be feeling brave tonight :^)
.
A is for age: 43 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. I am actually 63. If this is a shock to any of you, please know it is a shock to me too.
.
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've been a self employed counselor/consultant/trainer until three years ago when I became a psychotherapist, which I also like, and I am also happily (and finally officially) 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, with my computer and iphone close behind. I’d be lost and longing without them.
.
F is for Favorite song at the moment: Eva Cassidy’s Fields of Gold. It makes me cry everytime.
.
H is for How About Whatever Favorite I Choose: Okay, 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, two grandsons ages 4 and 2, and one more grandson, currently and temporarily named 'Sparky, on the way. I love kids of all ages and sizes.
.
L is for last kiss: JB tonight. I also kiss my friends and am happy giving little kisses on the cheeks of people I like.
.
M is for marriage: Yes. 21 years unofficially. 4 years legally. 25 years in all Happily, with bumps and lumps, but always with love.
.
N is for full Name: Can’t do that in Blogland. Hahaha, that's what I thought when I started my blog. It's not hard to know my name, that's for sure. It's 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 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 has required).
.
Q is for quote: 'Ride the Horse in the Direction She's Going'
.
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: usually by 7:00 am, sometimes 8 on weekends, occasionally 5 or 6 am, which is my favorite time of all.
.
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 holidaise 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 even though I may act regal I have learned humility.
.
There have not been many meme's on the the blogs in many months. Memes are not usually my favorites. But I invite you to try your hand at this alphabet challenge. Did you learn anything interesting about me? Because if you did, it stands to reason that it will be good to learn some interesting things about you.
love
