I got nothing. I stole this from Marcy at Purls Before Swine - a new favoutite blog - I'm working my way through her archives - Man, she makes me laugh out loud...

W - Worst habit: hmm... so many to choose from... Procrastination maybe? Oh well, I just think about this one later...
X - X-rays you've had: Let's start at the top and work down. Two skull - to see if I had concussions - yes both times. Neck after whiplash in car accident. Left shoulder after dislocation. Left elbow after dislocation. Left wrist after break. Right wrist after sprain. Both hands after numerous finger breaks. Numerous chest and pelvic ones when I was a kid to try to figure out why I was so sick. They finally found out and rebuilt my urinary tract. Left hip after dislocation. Left knee numerous times - it's had some surgical work done. Left ankle after sprain. Right ankle after sprain. Left foot after break. Left foot after broken toes. Man! It's amazing I'm still alive, isn't it??
Y - Yummy food: Pasta with almost any homemade sauce. Veal Chops my husband barbeques. My own risotto with spinach and shrimp. Anything my Dad used to make. Homemade bread, still warm. chocolate.

I hate to tell you this, but I love brussels sprouts ONLY if my dad makes them in his Italian way. He boils them until they're very tender, then tosses them in lots of olive oil, garlic, crushed chilies and black pepper. They are GOOD this way, otherwise I don't like them.
Oh, it was totally a shot at your not completing pairs, hee hee. Actually, I like to see how item #2 turns out, so it keeps me going. Usually they never match in size.
I found out we are the same age, both born in Montreal and both detest brussels sprouts. My kids keep asking what they taste like and I tell them to ask their grandmother to cook some because they will never pass the threshold of my house. Of course my Mom used to boil them until they were mushy green slop so maybe they should taste them at Lucky's house instead!
