[TeresaNJ]

Sing along, "Getting to know you, getting to know all about you..."

Name: Teresa, so original with my DIS name, I know

Age: Do I have to say? Okay, 47, but DH is only 31, almost 32. Honestly, he is!!

Family: DH Harry, you know, the 31yo. Oldest son Joe, 24, middle child Mike, 22, and youngest daughter Lauren, 18.

Pets: Winnie, our lovable 3yo Golden Retriever, named after Pooh; as a puppy she was chubby and very blonde. Herman, our 9yo black & white kitty; found him on Herman Drive, hence the name. Kitty, our 2yo black & white kitty; he's a male, but my DS's girlfriend named him KittyBoo after watching Monster, Inc. Go figure, but since we got Kitty from her, he was already named. Papi, our blue and white parakeet; my daughter named him, I'm not quite sure the reasoning behind that one.

What is your favorite room in the house and why?: Hmmm, I'd have to say it's a tie between my craft room where I do all my scrapbooking and folk art painting, and my computer room/office where I could spend hours surfing between the DIS and my scrapbooking sites.

What activity or sports did you do in high school: Was captain of the Junior Varsity cheerleaders my sophomore year, and captain of the Varsity cheerleaders my junior and senior years. Had a second lead in our Junior play, it was called if I remember correctly, "Mother is a Freshman", and I played the daughter of a woman who went back to college, so her and the daughter were in the same class, and both vied for the attention of a professor!! I guess I should have played the part of the mother considering... , but I do think the professor was older and closer to the mother's age, LOL. Was also in the Honor Society.

What is your least favorite thing to do?: Go to work, hands down. I just want to scrapbook and paint all day. It's not that I don't like my job as an RN Case Manager, I'm just sick of working.

What is your favorite TV show?: I don't watch much TV, but when they're on, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and Sex In The City. Oh yes, does QVC count?

What is your favorite color?: I don't think I have one, although I'm not much of a blue person. I stick to more earthy tones. It is ironic though that I am posting in pink and blue

And a Disney question of course-who is your favorite character?: Tinkerbell, I think we have similar personalities!
