TMI Tuesday!

It's TMI Tuesday! Click the "I kiss and tell" icon to come play with us!!


1. By what nickname(s) were you known as a child?

My sister couldn't say my name, so she called me DeeDa. I can't tell you any others because they would give away my real name :-) I wasn't regularly called Bunny until college.

2. Do you have a favorite poem and, if so, what is it? Recite it (or a snippet) here, please.

First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Millay

My candle burns at both ends;

It will not last the night;

But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--

It gives a lovely light!

3. What is your greatest regret in life, something that you failed to do that you wish you did?

I had a close friend and he and I were very attracted to one another, sometimes acting on that attraction when we'd had too much to drink. Then we would chalk it up to drinking and go back to being friends. We never tried a real relationship because we were afraid to lose the friendship. Also I was a snob at that time about the fact that he didn't finish college - I didn't want to date anyone without at least a Bachelor's degree. I regret not making a try at a relationship - perhaps we would have been very good together.

4. You are tired and hungry, but it's too late to cook. If any snack food were available to you, what would you choose and why?

Lay's Wavy Potato Chips and Yoder's Outrageous French Onion Dip. Yumm! There's a reason I don't keep either in my house . . .

5. What is the oldest item of clothing (not jewelry!) that you wear regularly and what do you love about it?

A sweatshirt from my law school. It's worn and soft and warm and reminds me of being a student.

Bonus (as in optional):Name a movie or TV show that changed your thinking or behavior.

To Kill A Mockingbird. I learned not to judge people before getting to know them and that doing the right thing is more important than doing the popular thing.

Happy Paczki Day! (Or Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras or Carnival or Fasnacht Day or Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday or just Tuesday - whatever today might be to you)
