Five Questions!

Once again, from the lovely Tricia at http://www.spokeit.com

1. What is your favorite thing about summertime?
Baseball. Fireflies. Popsicles. Horse shows. No class. Swimming pools. Summer blockbuster movies. Rita's gellato thingies. But mostly - baseball.

2. What is your ideal retirement location (if money didn't matter)?
Honestly this is something I have never once put any thought to. I want to be near my family and friends, but I have no real location in mind.

3. Do you live in the same town you grew up in?
Essentially - from Chesterfield to Powhatan VA - both outside of Richmond. And I spent most of my childhood in Powhatan, anyway, riding horses.

4. What nervous habit did you have as a child that you kicked to the curb before becoming an adult?
I have a lot of trouble with this sort of thing. I don't recall any nervous habits that I used to have that I don't still have today. Cracking knuckles and every other joint in my body? Yep, still do it. Actually the worst thing now is that subconciously I pick at the skin on my thumbs, so much that they are scarred. But I still do it, without even realizing. Usually if I am stressed or nervous but sometimes if I am just bored I find myself doing it. I have to wear bandaids on them to keep myself from doing it, but that's annoying, so most of the time I don't wear them.

5. What is the most embarassing thing that happened to you while on the job?
My work uniform is khaki pants and a white t-shirt. I have a job which requires daily use of a hose. You can put two and two together here, I'm sure, but last week I got so soaking wet and everything was see-through. Terrible. I looked like I'd entered a wet t-shirt contest, and of course, all of the people I was working with that day were male - just figures, right?
