I sleep with the hall light on - and it's really pretty bright. Whenever I make Iced Tea ( my favorite beverage), I have to spoon the "foamy stuff" off the top, or I can't drink it. I can't drink coffee (another favorite of mine) without about a half cup of ice in it (it's too hot). When eating in a restaurant, I will drink not only my own glass of water, but everyone else's, too ("Can I have your water? Are you going to drink your water?, etc). I have mild OCD, so it can sometimes really bother me if the house is slightly dirty or I don't get to the dishes right after dinner, etc. I leave my answering machine on - all the time. I didn't get a cell phone until two weeks ago, and just bought a digital camera and have no idea how it works yet. It's not actually that I am a techno-phobe (well, maybe a little)- but I am a privacy freak. I will read anything - literally anything. I am a compulsive reader I guess (or else have bad taste in reading material, sometimes). I will bake a gazillion cookies and fudge for other people at Christmas time, and have maybe only two cookies, and a few pieces of fudge, myself. I had a slight bout with anorexia in High School, so that might be a "left-over" symptom of that, but I think maybe also it's just that after making that much, as far as baked goods, the "charm" can wear off and they are somewhat less appealing? I have a closet-full of reallly nice clothes, but after wearing them once or twice, I seem to spend most of my time in jeans or courduroy slacks and sweaters, and an occasional dress - and usually the same ones. Fortunately, I bought most of it at a big discount. On week-ends, I sometimes fix breakfast for my dogs, right along with what I am having (scrambled eggs, bacon, toast). I sing to my dogs. I have named my car (Werner) and my favorite easy chair (also named Oscar, like my dog). I've been naming my cars for years. I know how to make dishes like Beef Wellington and Baked Alaska, but my favorite dish is still Meatloaf (really). - Susan
