Look, Ma! I Did It!

I've been tagged. And guess what! I'm actually going to play. I know I have a few others out there, and I promise that I'll get to them. But as I thought about myself I realized that being tagged for me is like my email: if I don't respond immediately, who knows when I'll find (make) the time to do it. That goes for all of you with email you've been waiting months for a response. Sorry!

Anyway, thanks Steph!

The rules?
Answer the following questions in one word and then pass it on to seven others. Anyone who's ever read a post of mine knows that one word and I don't generally go together in the same sentence. Or paragraph, for that matter. But I'm going to try to keep it short at least. Is that close enough?

Where is your cell phone? Pocket

Where is your significant other? Chair

Your hair color? Brunette? (Is it sad that I don't know what color to call it?)

Your mother? Overinvolved (but well-intentioned)

Your father? Changing

Your favorite thing? Happiness

Your dream last night? Unknown (I've discovered that I don't dream on nights I don't get
enough sleep)

Your dream/goal? Happiness (for everyone I care about)

The room you’re in? Family

Your hobby? Yoga (are moms allowed hobbies? I really had to think about this one)

Your fear? Failing (sorry, couldn't change that one)

Where do you want to be in 6 years? Happy (raise your hand if you're sensing a theme)

Where were you last night? Yoga

What you’re not? Artistic

One of your wish-list items? Heart-rate-monitor (and my birthday is less than two weeks away for anyone who's still searching for a gift!) ;)

Where you grew up? All over (IL, CT, Belgium, IL, MN, OH...)

Last thing you did? Uhhh (I don't remember. It's been a long day, and I'm tired. What did I do before I sat down? No idea. None at all)

What are you wearing? Clothes (aren't you glad I said that?)

Your TV? Tivo'ing

Your pet? Cats (two of them, in fact... Meow and Roar -- any guesses who named them?)

Your computer? Dell (technically that's my work's computer, but it's the one I use 99.9% of the time... the home one is a made to order one)

Your mood? Tired

Missing someone? No (I feel like I should say yes to this)

Your car? Pilot

Something you’re not wearing? Earrings (whoops... I just realized I didn't put them back on!)

Favorite store? BHWM (see, I kept it to one word... Black House White Market for the uninitiated)

Your summer? Blissful (and I want it back. And I swear I'll take more time off work if I can get it back)

Love someone? Yes (I can't imagine life without love; can you?)

Your favorite color? PURPLE! (specifically, royal purple... and at work on Monday I corrected my direct report when he tried to call Northwestern's color "violet" -- granted his first language is French but still....)

When is the last time you laughed? Today (I have the wee ones... how can I not laugh daily or hourly?)

Last time you cried? Friday (while watching Ghost House. Is that truly pathetic?)

Check it out! Technically, I answered each one in only one word. Of course, I had to add some clarifications to a few of them. Does that break the rules, or can I bask in my succinctness for a moment?
