I’m still a lover of memes. Which reminds me, Keri – I STILL need to do the flikr meme. I didn’t forget!

1.What is your occupation right now? I work in the HR office at a university. Anyone else here ever work in higher ed?

2.What color are your socks right now? White.

3.What are you listening to right now? The local news morning update on tv. Federal raid at a local company, more snow on the way, blah blah blah.

4.What was the last thing that you ate? Shrimp stir-fry. Yum

5.Can you drive a stick shift? Yep. I just bought a new car and was thrilled that it was a stick.

6.Last person you spoke to on the phone? My grandmother. We talk every night at 6pm. I want to talk to her to make sure she took her insulin shot, and she wants to talk to me to make sure I didn’t drive into a snow drift on my way to work. Worry – keeping our family in touch since 1968.

7.Do you like the person who sent this to you? Yep.

8.How old are you today? 40

9.What is your favorite sport to watch on TV? It’s a toss up between football and hockey. Right now I’m looking forward to the Superbowl. Once that’s over I’ll be able to focus on hockey.

10.What is your favorite drink? Coffee. We made some kick-ass homemade cherry brandy this year, and it ranks right up there, too.

11.Have you ever dyed your hair? Yes. I just started getting highlights, etc a few years ago. I finally found a great hairdresser who I can go to and say “do whatever you think will look best…”

12.Favorite food? Wonton soup. Soft pretzels.

13.What is the last movie you watched? Jaws…I had never seen it before last weekend. It was great!

20.When was the last time you cried? I know this sounds totally unprofessional, but last year I cried at work because I was so incredibly angry after a phone call. My co-worker ran downstairs and bought me a Snickers bar out of the vending machine to make me feel better. It worked.

21.What is on the floor of your closet? Shoes, shoe boxes, cat hair.

22.What did you do last night? Went cross country skiing after work, took a shower, ate stir fry, watched George Carlin on DVD, went to bed. (That’s actually a pretty common night…)
