Word Meme
If you want to play along, reply to this post by yelling (or even saying gently) "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

Wine
I love wine. Over the years, I have learned what I like and what I don't like. I used to just drink whatever my friends did. Then I became a white wine drinker. It was just easier to drink. About 5 years ago, my parents took supersech and I down to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. They are known for their Pinot Noir. I learned that I like Pinot and Syrah. Over the past years, I've learned I also like Malbec. I still like white wines, but now I have choices for red or white. :)
Cats
I've always seemed to have cats in my life. We had two when I was very young, Tigger and Molly. Molly was run over by a car (I have no recollection) and Tigger lived to the ripe old age of 17 years old. Then we got Perseid. He was also 17 when my parents put him down--last October.
After moving home from Ellensburg (college), we were asked to house sit for some friends in Woodinville. Phoebe found us. She was a diluted tortoise shell color--light brown, white and some orangesicle. Very pretty. We were so blessed that she found us. She knew we needed her. One night I sang to her the 'Smelly Cat Song' and that's where she got her name--Phoebe from Friends sang that song. :) Last December, something happened. We don't know exactly what, but she stopped eating and using the litter box. We tried everything. All she was trying to tell us was that it was her time to go. It was too soon (my last two cats had lived for 17 years--she was only 10!). It was a very hard decision to make...to let her go. We have her in a box (cremated) waiting for our lilac bush to bloom. She loved sitting underneath it in the sunshine. It will be her final resting place. We miss you Phoebe...
Ninja, the black cat, came to us through a friend of a friend. They brought her over the night of our Halloween party. Watching her grow from a kitten has been so much fun. She is a ninja, too. She hides under our bed or under a chair and when we walk past, a little claw will pop out, "killing" us. She is extremely vocal--telling us where she is at all times.
I am a cat person. I don't mind dogs--in fact I'd like to have a small one someday--but I prefer cats.
Tea
Honestly, I am a coffee girl. There are mornings that I shouldn't have coffee, but a warm beverage is in order. That's what I turn to tea. Specifically, Lady Grey tea with some milk and sugar. Thanks to mrs_crater and smescrater for bringing over "the good stuff" when they come to visit. (I think I'm good this year though. ;) )
Dinosaurs
Dinos are interesting...but not my thing. I support supersech and J"F"C and the Hollow Earth Expedition. That's where the dinos live. Beware!
Felicia Day
She is an awesome, beautiful, genius of a human being. She is very friendly, too. I got to meet her last year at GenCon. She's my new BFF...but not really. ;)
