Found this on Tine.

1. What's the best birthday present you've ever had? It's hard to remember them all, but I very much love my flat screen HDTV hubby gave me last year.
2. What do you eat for breakfast? Uh, food. Sometimes healthy when I go to Spoon and get little egg, bacon, and cheese biscuits or quesadillas. Otherwise, cookies, muffins, whatever the little groceries on the way to work have that I can buy quickly. At home, I might have cereal (Multi-grain Cheerios, usually).
3. What's your favourite piece of jewellery? The gold necklace hubby gave me for my 50th birthday, which is my other favorite birthday present.
4. What's the best book you've ever read? I can't choose just one out of all the wonderful books I've read.
5. Which gadget couldn't you do without? It's a toss-up between the computer and the microwave, but if push comes to shove, I won't give up my TV.

12. Where in the world would you like to be right now? Where I am, but I'd settle for Hawaii. heh.
13. Do you collect anything? The better question is what don't I collect. I collect books, comics, dollhouse miniatures, postcards, business cards, stuffed animals (usually licensed characters like Opus and Grimm), fannish art, craft items (small boxes mostly), Matyrushka dolls, keychains...

17. What's your oldest possession? The ribbon from my baby pillow with my name on it and the hospital bracelet my mother wore when I was born. Plus a lot of photos from when my grandmother was a girl. I also have my father's messkit when he was in the navy in World War II. Of the things that were strictly mine, I'd say some old Little Golden books and some school paintings my mother had saved that I'd done.
18. Do you use a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen? Ballpoint, but I prefer Rollerballs.
