Worst habit:   Getting frustrated with finding a place for things, and then just deciding to leave them where they are.   🙂    I’m so glad for online bill paying.   I at least get to not collect bills.   I just toss them in the shredder and use the online.   One less pile of stuff.   🙂   I have regular cleaning sprees, where a lot of stuff goes directly to the trash.  hehe

X-rays: Last one was a mammography, I imagine.

Yummy foods I make:   I pick pizza, green salad and a really good white wedding cake (from scratch.  I’m not kidding).   Veal parmesan, anyone?   Chicken cordon bleu?

Zodiac sign: Cancer, all the way, baby.  “To be a Cancerian is to be blessed with an infallible inner radar screen. It is to care, passionately, about the people who matter to you and the causes that have meaning to you. It is to know, always, what must be done and why – and never to be wrong. Yet it is also to feel your best is never good enough, even though it certainly is. “
