Since Joel has been brave enough to answer all these personal questions, I thought I'd be supportive and make myself vulnerable too.

Birthplace: Williamsport, PA (home of the Little League World Series).

Age: 33 (almost 34).

Birthday: Late September

Hair Color: Light brown, with blonde highlights.

How long/thick is your hair: Chin-length and layered.

Eye Color: Blue-green.

Height: 5'6".

Weight: I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. ;-) Let's say it will take some hard work to get a figure again after I give birth in August.

Personality: On the Myers-Briggs I'm a INFJ (Joel is actually an ENTJ, he misremembered when he filled this out).

Do you drink? I have rarely met a tea I didn't like. In my non-gestating-baby days, I occasionally had wine and girly drinks in which the alcohol flavor is subdued

Have you had your appendix or tonsils out? Nope. I did have to have general anesthesia to get my badly impacted wisdom teeth out at age 13.

Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Not since I was a baby.

Have you ever been convicted of a crime? Nope.

'Dream' dream car: Silver Jaguar convertible

Favorite place to visit: London (been there several times and still have so much to see)

Favorite soft drink: Root beer.

Adidas, Nike, or Reebok: No brand loyalty. I've not yet found a brand in which every shoe in the line is consistently a good fit. I have high arches and short toes, so I have to try 10-12 pairs to find something that's comfortable.

Favorite Blog: Lady Dusk, always lots of fun links

Favorite subject in school: Social studies and choir in high school, poetry writing and "fiction to cinema" in college.

Favorite book: I loved all of Susan Howatch's Starbridge books except the ones about Aysgarth, who is a scoundrel.

Favorite alcohol: Woodchuck Dark and Dry hard cider; Tom Collins.

Favorite sport to watch: Equestrian show jumping; snowboard half-pipe

Favorite sport to play: Swimming and hiking. I dislike games that involve airborne balls, as I usually get hit in the head every time. Pool and croquet are fun, though.

Anything different about you: I was a girl percussionist in high school. In college I sang in a rock band, did theatre and created a poetry group called the Janitor Poets (we all had custodial work-study jobs). I also know how to make balloon animals.

Tattoos/Piercings: Standard 1 hole in each earlobe.

Do you believe you have a soul mate: I used to. I also used to believe in the Tooth Fairy.
