I was tagged by rdl to do the A-Z meme, so here are a few random facts about me and my life.
A - accent: Awwww…bless your heart, honey. Let’s see – as I sit on the veranda drinking my lemonade, I guess I can admit to a bit of a southern drawl.
B - booze: white zinfandel; sparkling white wines; Margarita: on the rocks with salted rim, and frozen with strawberries and sugared rim
C - chore I hate: I don’t like chores, so I don’t do them! ;)
D - dogs/cats: none at the moment – Sheltie and Terrier went to "pupppy heaven" at ages 18 and 15, respectively. :( Miss them very much and will be puppy parents again one day.
E - essential electronics: computer, cell phone and charger
F - favorite perfume/cologne: Carolina Herrera 212
G - gold/silver: gold most often, but occasionally silver
H - hometown: Atlanta, GA
I - insomnia: yes
J - job title: “the happy gardener” but once a social worker and even earlier an English teacher
K - kids: none
L - living arrangements: in a house with my man, surrounded by lush gardens, birds, squirrels, deer, and raccoons - with an occasional nearby bear sighting in spring.
M - most admired trait: sensitivity
N - number of sexual partners: married
O - overnight hospital stays: one at age 3
P - phobia: snakes, shots, germs – anti-bacterial wipes after shopping carts!
Q - quote: Be the change you want to see in the world ~ Mahatma Gandhi
R - religion: none – eastern philosophy
S - siblings: one sister
T - time I usually wake up: depends on what time I go to bed – I usually sleep in 4 hour intervals.
U - unusual talent: beautiful gift wrapping
V - vegetable I refuse to eat: none – I even like rutabagas now!
W - worst habit: interrupting people!
X - x-rays: lumbar, left hip, left leg
Y - yummy foods I make: rum cake, home-made veggie soup, spoon cornbread, curried chicken salad
Z - zodiac sign: Virgo

I love reading this meme. It really is quite informative. I can just imagine you sitting on a veranda sipping a margarita, and speaking with that lovely southern Georgia accent.
Great answers, i enjoyed reading them and thanks for being a good sport about it. beautiful pic. too!
You did a lovely job with this meme--- can even hear the mockingbirds and see the camelias nodding :)
I am not fond of memes but you make it such enjoyable reading!
They seem simple on the surface, these memes, but they are quite informative. I enjoyed this, Sky, and particularly appreciated your answer to question C! :-)
Yes, when I did this meme, I found myself frustrated by its "surface" nature. It asks about things I didn't feel were particularly important in my life. But reading the responses others have given, I am struck by the way it helps to round out a mind's eye picture! It's nice to have these additional images of you, Sky.
nice- it is fun to learn more about you - love that vineyard shot. S.
this is such fun. love reading all of these little insights into who you are...just love it!
This is one of my favourite memes. I did it a while back myself. Each time I read it I always find out something about that person that delights me - in this case "beautiful gift wrapping". Don't ask me why that's so delightful - I have no idea. =)
I really loved getting to know you better! Thank you for sharing :)
Interesting. Some I knew from your blog and others were an interesting surprise.
Thanks everyone! Memes often do reveal a few little pieces of information, but I don't usually enjoy doing them so much. I may do the "I am from..." piece, however. It seems a bit more creative.
Love your Gandhi quote.
curried chicken salad - YUM! A little picnic in your garden with some lemonade. You live in a paradise!
I'm coming over your house for the YUMMY foods that you make! ;-)
Sky,
I always love hearing from you. Thanks for visiting yesterday. I need to come here more often---I always enjoy it so much. It's funny, and I think I feel a blog coming on, but so often I just get back to answer comments and then miss so many wonderful posts. I will try to do better!
best,
lucyd
What a great way to get to know you better!! Lovely, lovely, lovely.
Hello Sky, I'm finally taking some time to catch up on my blogs today and enjoyed reading yours.
I forgot to mention how I love the photo and have missed reading your blogs lately. I imagine you out in your garden creating your wonders there instead of here as often as in the winter.
Are you busy out in your garden? I know you are still around because of your wonderful comments! But I do miss your posts... but if you are putting your creative energy elsewhere then I am certain it's worthwhile!
Hi Sky.
Missing you!
I got so excited when my blogroll indicated that you had posted, but i guess it updates if someone comments too. So i thought i'd say hi too. Hope all is well.
I am with you completely on the worst habit! I have it too, and constantly try to stop myself. Any tips on how to change this one?
