Borrowed meme

Hello all!
We've finally gotten thru the snow and the subsequent flooding and we've actually had a week of SUN - we weren't expecting that until July!

I've got a Mitzvah Mom who's driving me meshuge (yes, short trip, I know) and she's been keeping me busy. I'm also doing envelopes for our public classical music radio station in trade for being an underwriter sponsor. Everything I know about classical music I learned from Warner Bros. ("Kill the wabbit...") Good thing there wasn't a quiz so they can say "This program sponsored in part by Alesia Zorn Calligraphy..." and then 15 seconds of how brilliant I am.

That's all kept me busy and off the streets. But I've sworn I'm taking the day off so CJ is keeping me off the streets with her meme questions...

Q What item in your home says Alesia lives here?
All the gargoyles? All the pen paraphenalia and antique pens? My lazy ( ! ) on the couch? Oh! I learned a new ( ! ) emoticon from Judy's daughter Cherie - { ! } cellulite ass. Loving that, although sadly too easily recognize that!

Q What is one thing on your living room wall? The Apostolic Benediction and Plenary Indulgence I bought a thrift store for $5. Sing it with me "I'm goin' to hea-ven, I'm goin' to hea-ven." For the non-Catholics in the crowd, it's a get out of jail, go directly to Heaven card. My Methodist-raised husband points out I'm neither Mr. NOR Mrs. William Lee, the names on the Vatican signed and sealed indulgence. I, the avid Law & Order devotee, reply that possession is 9-tenths of the law. St. Peter's down with that, I just know it.

Q What is one thing you have in your house from your childhood? A battered dolphin statue that I love dearly, no matter how many cracks it has.

Q What are three things we'd find in your medicine cabinet? A large selection of band-aids (we're a clumsy household,) advil and tums.

Q What are three things we'd find in your refrigerator? coffee, half & half and behold, the power of cheese

Q If you had to save one thing from your home, what would it be? Pets. The collective.

Q What is the biggest collection in your home? The aforementioned gargoyles, and many, many, many CDS.

Q What is the most embarrassing thing in your home that you hide when guests come over?
Hmm, clients come to my house frequently so it's usually picked up. Maybe the answer is my husband?!

Q What's the best furniture bargain you ever got? The home which houses our furniture. We bought it 6 years ago, it's more than doubled in price.

Q What CD or artist would we find in your player? In the car, The Pogues. In my studio, The Clash. In the bedroom, a rain and thunderstorm CD (we don't get thunderstorms in Portland.)

Q Do you do any snooping of your own when visiting friends? Nope. I don't want to look at my own dust & mess, I don't need to look at theirs!

Who's next?
