Favorite movie is "Miracle on 34th Street" Hubby won't go to the movies so I attend them with my Mom and sister, so we gravitate to "chick flicks", romance, drama, and subtle suspense ... but absolutely NO GORE!

Most of the music we listen to here is Golden Oldies (husband doesn't think there's been a "decent" song recorded since 1968!) I like easy listening.

Read trashy romance novels before falling asleep, Janet Evanovich (I hope I got that name right), Patricia Cromwell, and Mauve Binchy. I finally got around to reading "Tuesday's with Morrie" last summer (I bought it when it first came out ... but put off reading it because I knew it would make me cry. ... It did!)

Without a doubt -- PURPLE!!!

CHOCOLATE!!! All fruit, (especially watermelon and dark cherries), chocolate, scalloped potatoes, milk, a good LEAN steak, chocolate, well-done cheese- burgers, chicken, tomatoes.

NIGHT OWL! Married nearly 24 years, (second marriage) no children, no animals, (not anymore ... had to put my dog down -- and just can't bear to do that again). We just moved here a little over a year ago and still don't know my way around very good. One of 7 children - 2nd to last. Was one of the original "latch-key kids" as Mom had to work after our Dad died 42 years ago. Love kids, dogs, some kitty cats, and swimming.

CHOCOLATE!!! Family, friends, chocolate, fruit, All My Children, Ugly Betty, E.R. and Grey's Anatomy, Lilacs, spring and summer, talking, ... did I mention chocolate?!!!

LIARS!!! Loud, thumping music coming from cars, inconsiderate people, Cleaning the house. Exercising. Not a fan of reality TV ... probably the only person in America that has never seen an episode of "Survivor" or "American Idol."

Counted cross-stitch, reading (fiction), watching TV, travel - so far only in the U. S. and a teeny-tiny bit of Canada, (but not by boat) and SWIMMING!!!
