I - Indulgence: Shoes, shoes and more shoes!
J - January or February: Best time of year for cuddling.
K - Kids: None but have six kitty cats that act as such on a daily basis.
L - Life Incomplete Without: LOVE
M - Marriage Date: I’ve given up on marriages ~ it’s too complicated that way.

W - Worst Habit: Chewing on my fingers (cuticles).                                                                  

X - X-rays: Plenty of them ~ from head to toe…too many to count, I’ve led an active life.       

Y - Your Favorite Food: Sushi
Z - Zodiac: The Scales/Libra, all the better to weigh all of my options and to better decipher my God given talents of intuition and out of world perceptiveness.

Now that you’ve read my list, please take it upon yourself to do this silly little alphabetized list that I so conveniently copied from several other Gatherers.  Have FUN!!

A cute way to give us a peek into the real you.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 4, 2009, 3:36am EST
Thanks George!
Very clever skew on the answers, hehehe.... Warm Vanilla Sugar is an oldie but goodie in my book.
Turquoise is my favorite stone as it symbolizes 'expression'.

Why are all the people I get along with Libras? lol
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 4, 2009, 3:39am EST
Thanks for stopping by Ferosh! I thought taking on this little ditty might lighten the load on this depressed ming of mine and I must say it did help a bit.

I too wear turquoise as it is my favorite stone also! I always wanted to be American Indian because I thought they all wore turquoise. My closet for the summer months is full of turquoise clothing and even some turquoise shoes! The color is superb with my olive complexion.

I'm glad that you get along with me as I am definitely a Libra, through and through in every sense of the sign.
Did I mention that I am of Cherokee Indian heritage? Although it is less of a percentage than what the government will pay me for being a 'mulatto', I am nonetheless of Native American heritage.:)

I don't know why I get along with Libras..... I am a Taurus with an Aries moon.... go figure. lol
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 4, 2009, 4:14am EST
What a neat lineage you come from! I know what you mean about the government and their unwillingness to pay for educations and such if you fall below a certain percentage in heritage. Namely American Indian heritage.

So you're a Taurus ~ a little stubborn at times eh? I dated a very jealous and stubborn Taurus but don't know what his moon was. I'm glad I got out from under his claws when I did. ;)
I can be stubborn, but only when I know I'm right.:) The man you dated was most likely ruled by his moon(or Id)... the subconscious, reactive self).... and it would be difficult to judge him solely on his Sun sign. I have many Taurus attributes, but the influences from my birth chart really define my personality. Being a Taurus doesn't necessarily make one completely stubborn, but it's the trait that most people recognize immediately.
O yeah! And I am also descended from Dutch, English, and French ancestors.:) And to think, with all the mixture, when I'm in Miami, everyone thinks I'm Mexican. lol

Taurus, the Bull....my dad was a Taurus, talk about bull headed and stubborn....it would be easier to push a piano with my tongue than get him to change his mind about something!!!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 7:06am EST
Elizabeth ~ There was a Taurus that I dated that I will never forget becauise of those bull headed. and stubborn charachteristics...
Harper S. Nov 4, 2009, 4:27am EST
A Nun? That is different for a vocation. I remember my father using it as a threat, behave or I'll send you to the nunery.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 5, 2009, 11:59pm EST
I would have revolted and had them throw me out of the nunnery had I actually opted to go...I was a hellion when I was younger...;p
JOHN BECK Nov 4, 2009, 5:55am EST
Fear of dying alone. Interesting. It would be fun to have a nice rare steak and pinot noir with you and discuss that one at some length.
JOHN BECK Nov 4, 2009, 5:57am EST
Do you like gorgonzola with your steak?
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:01am EST
I would love to discuss this topic with you at a much greater length sometime John. I think you could definitely lend me some insight into my fear of aging and of dying alone. Not a fear of dying but of dying alone with no one for me, I hope you understand what I mean.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:05am EST
I'm not much for bleu cheeses John as the smell tends to throw me off. Living in Germany for 12 years I acquired the taste for many wonderful cheeses but those bleu ones have not reached my lips as of yet.
JOHN BECK Nov 6, 2009, 7:10am EST
I do understand the difference, Esther, and many family members are distraught if their loved one dies alone.
penni d. Nov 4, 2009, 7:04am EST
I'm in on that conversation too, John. When I am ill,Ester, I need to be alone. I have held hands with more than a few who crossed over, but feel that I would do ok alone when my turn comes. It's another page into the greatest adventure....
Shoes,eh? I wear a pair until it's dead,lol, but for some reason, I have dozens of pairs
just sitting around. Want 'em?
JOHN BECK Nov 4, 2009, 10:44am EST
I have also, Penni, and have written about it. I just saw the mother of the person about whom I posted a sonnet about 1 year ago and just printed out a copy of the sonnet for her.
Elizabeth O. Nov 4, 2009, 7:50am EST
These are great Esther.....your answers have a really nice twist to them....from what I know about you, these ring quite true!!! How are you coming with what we talked about?

E.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:07am EST
I yams what I yam my friend. I am with you who I am as I am with most people that I know. Most things have never changed about me ever over the course of my life.

Nothing doing on what we discussed ~ gotta do it and quick dodging it! ASAP!!
donna h. Nov 4, 2009, 8:05am EST
Very cool listings!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:07am EST
Thanks Donna!
Lionel LaVergne Nov 4, 2009, 11:08am EST
Ferosh, me too. Although I am almost 45% Native American I can't seem to get anyone to pay attention. On my mother's side we have Choctaw and several other strains. I am actually French, Native American and German.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 7:07am EST
Hi Lionel!
Dana E. Nov 4, 2009, 11:15am EST
Very good...for a second I thought I might be your best friend, but it said "diminutive" and "witch" would have started with a "b" instead of 'w"
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:08am EST
You too can be my best friend Dana but you're not a little, short witch now are you?

And I seriously doubt that you are the witch with the letter b either you silly woman!
Dana E. Nov 4, 2009, 11:16am EST
also noticed that "m" and "q" go together
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:08am EST
Very perceptive of you Dana. :)
steve the legend Nov 4, 2009, 12:11pm EST
I wonder if nuns like to cuddle?
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:08am EST
Hmmm...I wonder...
Larry H. Nov 4, 2009, 1:37pm EST
thanks for sharing
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:09am EST
Thanks for reading Larry!
Kris P. Nov 4, 2009, 7:50pm EST
Some great answers Esther. And you're right, rhubarb is a vegetable!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:09am EST
Thanks for stopping by Kris! Rhubarb is nothing nice...
DIANE D. Nov 5, 2009, 8:27am EST
This is so neat~
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 12:10am EST
Thanks Diane!
Kelly Kay Nov 5, 2009, 10:04am EST
We share the love of that yummy smelling body cream & SHOES, glorious shoes!!! Nice to know more about you Sister E! ;)
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 7:08am EST
I always knew we had things in common Kelly!
Heather C. Nov 5, 2009, 11:43am EST
When I was in 8th grade I wanted to be a nun and I wasn't even Catholic. :)

Turquoise is a great color. I love the the jewelry. Had I had the money I would have bought some years ago when I visited friends in Cottonwood Arizona. My mother had a turquoise turban she wore and I always liked that hat.
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 7:11am EST
How funny that you and I would think to become Nuns my friend. I contemplated long and hard overthe course of many years and on into my twenties...

I wear all turquoise jewelry in the summer as it looks especially good when my skin is tanned. Half of my closet has turquoise clothes hanging in it ~ no joke!
Ed Da Head Toker Nov 5, 2009, 11:35pm EST

Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Nov 6, 2009, 7:09am EST
Thanks Ed!
