The Reverend Mother, A to Z (with pictures)

Princess Flickerfeather tagged me for this meme, so here goes.

(Click here for answers, photos and who I’ve tagged.)

A- Available or Single?
Neither.

B- Best Friend.
That would be my husband, wouldn’t it?

C- Cake or Pie.
Yes, and torte and chocolate mousse and creme brulee and don’t forget flan. Pudding is stupid, though.

D- Drink of Choice.
Ahhhh, coffee.

E- Essential Item.
The Bible. And coffee. And make-up, according to my 13 year old.

F- Favorite Color.
That electric purplish blue color. Wouldn’t it be cool if the trees and grass were all that color, instead of green? Well, okay, maybe just for a day.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms.
They’re worthless, give me a truffle.

H- Hometown.
I was born in Winnebago, MN. See, I’m just a small town girl.

I- Indulgence.
C and D together. Plus detective novels, especially ones set in England.

J- January or February.
Ugh! Why do I live here?

K- Kids.
I wanted none, but God, in His mercy, saw fit to give me two and I would be devastated without them.

L- Life is incomplete without…
The Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Did I surprise anyone with that? (Stolen word for word from Benny.)

M- Marriage Date.
That’s October 10, 1987. Yep, it’s 20 years, this year.

N- Number of Siblings?
Three brothers and two sisters. I’m the cutest.

O- Oranges or Apples?
I love them all, but watermelon is my fav.

P- Phobias/Fears.
Some fear of man, which God is at work in me to overcome. But clowns creep me out.

Q- Favorite Quote.
I have about two million favorite quotes, but I’ll only bore you with a dozen or so:

“I can’t carry a tune, I can’t even drag it across the floor.” – Unknown

“Our problem is not that there isn’t a common moral ground, but that we would rather stand somewhere else.” – from the book, What We Can’t Not Know, by J. Budziszewski.

The following are from the book, Witness, by Whitaker Chambers:

“In the last instance, men must act on what they believe right, not what they believe probable.”
“Men who could not see that what they firmly believed was liberalism added up to socialism could scarcely be expected to see what added up to communism.”
“The God it worships is what a nation is, and how he worships Him defines what a man is.”

” ‘God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life’ has been substituted for ‘God claims you, and has placed you under an eternal bond, which you have broken.'” – from Tithing and the Church by Gary North

“The trouble with not doing anything is you don’t know when you’re done.” – Unknown

R- Reasons to smile.
God had no reason to do so, but He chose me.

S- Season(ing).
Cumin and cilantro. Oh, and curry.

T- Tag Three.
Ummm, how about two? Gabrielle Eden and Mocha Momma.

U- Unknown Fact About Me.
You think I’d tell you? How about an Unbelievable Fact? No one believes that I’m actually a biker chick.

V– Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?

W- Worst Habit.
I chew on the inside of my lip. When I’m nervous, when I’m not nervous, when I’m reading, when I’m driving, but not when I’m sleeping. At least I don’t think so. I want to stop.

X– X-rays or Ultrasounds.
I had an ultrasound once. It showed a tiny baby. I was not amused. But now that she’s 18, I’m very amused.
