48 Questions

I stole this from Salty Mom ... I love these sorts of things.  LUCKY YOU.
1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My middle name is Elizabeth in honor of my cousin Betsy, who passed away as an infant before I was born.  Aside from that, my mom spelled Meagan with an A because of President Reagan - she thought "Megan" sounded like "mee-gan" so she threw the extra A in there because it made more sense to her.
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
I think I cry about every other day.  Is this normal?  Most recently - Sunday morning I was recounting to Kenny the story of how I startled him when I got home from my friend's birthday party so badly that he shrieked and pulled the covers over his head.   I laughed so hard trying to reenact it that I cried.
3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Yes, I do.  I used to hear from people all the time that left-handed people always have messy writing, so I have worked very hard to make sure mine is neat and legible.  It's also kind of big and loopy, but that's just how I roll.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Turkey, but also hard salami lately.
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
No.  Just two dogs and a healthy case of baby fever.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Heck yes.  I am funny and I like to bake for people.
7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?

Only always.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
No, I don't think so.  My inner old lady thinks it looks like a back injury waiting to happen, and I happen to like my spine aligned just as it is.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Multi-Bran Chex.  I am waiting for my AARP membership to arrive any day now.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Never.  It's a bad habit I've had ever since I learned to tie them.  I mostly try to put them on without untying as well, which used to drive my mom crazy.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Some days, but mostly not.  I have had a soft life and I don't like sweating.  And see above, re crying.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Cookie dough
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
Clothing.  I am a judgey bear.
15. RED OR PINK?
I go for pink first, but I am starting to like red more and more as I get older.  It's a very powerful color that can actually be really feminine.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
A natural inclination towards messiness and clutter. Also, I have terrible, awful, no-good, very bad insecurities and neuroses about my appearance.  
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My grandfather.  I can't believe it's been seven years since he's passed.  I find myself wishing frequently that Kenny could have met him.  They would have liked each other.

Organization (see #16)
