My ABC Meme

A is for Age – which is older than I want. Why start with such a hard question?
B is for Booze – Brandy Manhattan, straight-up
C is for Career – (1) Laboratory technician in medical research lab, (2) Newspaper column (3) Accountant. My favorite job was the medical research one, which I did for about 15 years. Then I had 2 kids 15 months apart & needed something very part time, thus the writing. I did some on-line editing for WestLaw during this period also. Since I needed to be home for my son with autism I needed an at-home career so Tom & I started a business where we do the bills & payroll & various financial stuff for several local entities.

G is for Goof off thing to do – Read. I love to read!
H is for Hometown – Grimsby
I is for Instrument you play - I have issues with this instrument thing. I’m the youngest child so my older siblings all had lessons for stuff – piano, guitar, accordion (waves to Nookie), flute, etc. My dad bought all the instruments and my siblings all quit their instrument after a year or two. So I was not allowed to take anything because “I would just quit anyway.” So unfair! And since my mom liked an uncluttered house, all the instruments were sold or given away soon after my sibling quit then – even the piano. It was so not fair!
