the letter "i"

Yesterday amid all the cheering for the outcome of Canada's new Prime Minister and all the ugly US politics, a friend posted some fun on her Facebook page. I don't get on FB very often so seeing this was a breath of fresh air. I didn't respond on her page but I did play the game at the comfort of my dining room table.

Calling my Lady friends, OK, Men too . . . NO GOOGLING ALLOWED. Use your own brain power! Every answer must start with the First Letter of your Maiden Name.    THIS IS HARDER THAN YOU THINK...but a nice change. 

(My maiden name starts with "I." Not an easy letter but the challenge was incredibly fun.)

* Wear - Izod shirts (those were one of THE things to wear back in college)

* Drink - Iced Tea (my dad’s favorite warm weather drink)

* Place - Indiana, Illinois, Iowa (yes, I’m a Midwest girl) but let’s get out of the country and go to Iceland!

* Food - Ice cream (a weakness)

* Animal - Inchworm (Remember this song from a long time ago:

Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds

You and your arithmetic, you'll probably go far.

Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigolds

Seems to me you'd stop and see how beautiful they are.)

* Girl Name - Isla and Ivy (the names of our son’s friend’s daughters)

* Boy Name - Ishmael (“Call me Ishmael,” the opening line of Moby Dick)

* Profession - Illustrator (I have so many talented artist friends)

* Describe Someone - Introvert (me) or Inspirational (most everyone has his or her own way of inspiring others)

* Body Part - Itchy eyes (allergy season is in full bloom!)
