A whole lot of answers

As per Mrs. Bowen's request, I have answers...
Tomorrow I promise to stop talking about myself and instead will share some pictures of my honeys.

1. Name: Sabrina
2. Birthday: December 18
3. Birthplace: MA
4. Eye Color: Blue or green or gray
5. Hair Color: brown+ red+ blond
6. Height: 1/4" shy of 5'10"
7. Ethnicity: Caucasian
8. Weakness: sweets, bargains
9. Most missed memory: The early moments/days after my children were born were so indescribably sweet. With each perfect little being that we have welcomed to our family, I have been overwhelmed with love and awe. Also, feeling grateful for the friends and family that come to fawn over the wee one and bring gifts of food, flowers and their company.
10. Thoughts first waking up: can I stay in my cozy bed for just a few more minutes?
11. Last time you cried: Oh, yesterday. We had an emotion-filled day
12. Song title that currently says how you feel:Keep on the Sunny Side (O Brother Disc)
13. What is the perfect day for you: A good day would start with a productive morning at home. After a little organizing/cleaning, the whole family embark on some outdoor adventure. The weather would have to cooperate- let's say sunny and in the 70s. We would hike a few miles and kids would not complain once. Exercise is essential to my happiness. Maybe after we would dip our toes in the creek, lake, or ocean (my perfect day does not discriminate). Next stop, a trip to a local winery for a wine tasting (grape juice for the kids) and a bottle to bring home. If it's still early, dinner could be comprised of farm stand gathered produce or if it's late a Thai food dinner would be yummy (as Ava said when she was two- "Thai food good.") Upon returning home we could relax and watch a Miyazaki film together. I especially love Kiki's Delivery Service.
14. Ever been asked for an autograph? no
15. How do you vent anger? Talking and probably some yelling
16. Who do you talk to most on the phone?  I usually have the lengthiest phone conversations with my mom.
17. As a kid, were you a lego builder? sometimes..I loved to make intricate little houses
18. Do you chew on your straws? I don't usually have straws with my drinks
19. Do you sing in the shower? very rarely
20. Who's the last person you stayed up late talking to on the phone to?
21. The last place you went to in a plane? Oh my, it was so long ago. I think it was to Miami in the spring of 2001. I must admit that I don't love to fly.
22. Do you cry at weddings? Yes. It is so beautiful to see a couple with such pure intention, hope and love for each other.
23. Are you afraid of the dark? Sometimes...I guess it's funny that I still am spooked when taking the trash out in the dark or puttering around the house late at night. I thought I'd be over it by now.
24. What are you addicted to? I have a major weakness for Saturday morning tag sales. That fulfills my need for cheap thrills. I also require a daily dose of perfectly hot cup tea (PG tips , preferably) with a little raw sugar and some soy milk. And, silly as it is, I am starting to get a little addicted to this blog thing.
25. Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? either
26. Who do you fight with the most?
27. Who can you tell anything to?
28. Who can't you get enough of? Our family...near and far.
29. Who makes you laugh the most? Rowan
30. What is the worst feeling ever? the thought of losing those you love, the inability to fix all the pain/suffering in the world, feeling judged
31. How many pillows do you sleep with? 2
32. How many rings before you answer your phone? I don't count
33. How many times do you press the "snooze" button? I guess I never do anymore... the kids serve as alarm clocks
34. How do you sleep? soundly (unless you count night time nursing and diaper changes)
35. Last time you laughed: a few minutes ago (you tube - Flight of the Conchords)
36. Ever looked at someone ugly and said "EWWW"? I may have thought it, but would never say it out loud (except maybe during my mean-spirited teenage years)
37. What is your favorite color? There are way too many colors that make me happy to choose just one. I love all colors as they play off of each other in nature. Crisp blue sky, brilliant autumn leaves, murky sea, perky green plants, flower beds overflowing with color
38. What are your favorite states? NY, Massachusetts, Maine, Colorado and Oregon- maybe or maybe not in that order

Good Job Sa! I love reading other people's answers, it's so fun. A little bit of insight into someone else's world. I guess that is why I love blogging!
