Alphabet Soup... Joanne style!

Jumping on the meme bandwagon... here we go!

Age:
34. For awhile I was telling everyone I was 35. I was confused. Diabetes made me that way.

Bed size: Queen... I am longing for a King, but can't bring myself to throw down the $$$ for it. But I need my space when I sleep, so don't even think about trying to snuggle me (not sure who I'm talking to here).

Chore you dislike: Ummm, all of them?

Dogs: I've had dogs since I was 4 or 5; first there was Muffin, who gave birth to a litter and we kept Pookie. When Pookie passed on, we got Sage. Then Fred and I had A.Jacks (the A stood for Artemis), and when she died, we got Seven. Who is a neurotic mess who sheds everywhere. Aren't you glad you now know my history of dogs?

Essential start to your day: Sleep?

Favorite color: Purple. And black.

Gold or silver: Don't really care, the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring and engagement ring. Which are gold.

Height: 5 ft. 7. But I think I'm shrinking.

Instruments you play(ed): Sax-a-ma-phone and guitar. And I totally rock the cow bell, baby!

Job title: Queen of the universe

Kids: Two lovely littles. One lady and one lad. That was fun.

Live: Unfortunately in Texas. Before that, San Francisco (heeellooo Meri!). Before that, Vancouver (the Canadian one). And when I was just a wee babe; Montreal.

Mom’s name: Cheryl

Nicknames: Joey, Jo, Joner, spitfire, smoking Jo (nope, never have smoked), Jo-Jo's Psychic Alliance, The Leather Weather Girl. When you work in radio, you acquire a lot of nicknames.

Overnight hospital stays: 7. 3 leg surgeries, 1 jaw surgery, 2 babies (c-sections), and one pregnancy related (went into early labour with Elise).

Pet Peeves: Stupid people. Temperatures above 90 degrees. Government bureaucracy. People who have an excuse for everything. Being late. Bad drivers. Bad customer service. Don't I sound like sunshine and roses?

Quote from a movie: Don't get saucy with me Bernaise.

Righty or Lefty: Righty . . . mostly. I can do some stuff left-handed.

Siblings: Two brothers; one older, one younger. That makes me the (gasp) overlooked middle child. Explains so much, doesn't it?

Time you wake up: When the wee ones make me.

Underwear: Why not?

Vegetables you don’t like: Maybe brussel sprouts. Is that cliche?

What makes you run late: Other people. Traffic lights. Speed limits.

X-Rays you’ve had: Seriously? Probably in the 100s. I'm not kidding.

Yummy food you make: Cheese fondue. Yuuum!

Zoo animal favorite: Non smelly ones.

  5. Me too on the sax and the COW BELL baby!!! AND...Montreal is close to us...move back there! It doesn't get as hot as TX.

    And, what the heck happened to your leg? Between the hospital and the x-rays, I am assuming it was something big.
