I recently discovered that I'm insulin resistant. I have to take meds for it and I eat a low carb diet. I've been on it for several months now and it isn't too hard. I don't have that much of a sweet tooth anyway. Ditching potatoes and pasta was hard. Bread - eh. No problem.

The only one I've bothered watching is Harry Potter. My vampires don't sparkle.

We always start at Thanksgiving. It also happens to be my sister's birthday weekend, so we celebrate Thanksgiving and her birthday, and we decorate my parents' tree. A few days before Christmas, my husband and I exchange our presents, having put our tree up earlier in the month. Christmas Eve we go to my in-laws' for a big family Christmas (my husband has 2 brothers and a sister, all married with kids, so there's a huge household) - usually turkey, all the trimmings, hors d'ouvres galore and desserts enough to make the kids sick! Then to my parents for overnight and my sister and her family come over the next morning to open presents. After that, there's a big lunch and we all spend the afternoon flopped around the den talking and messing with our gifts.

COLLEGE football! WAR EAGLE!

Huntsville is pretty spread out. Walking isn't especially practical. There isn't much public transportation in the area where I live, so I drive.

Who wants to stay in a hotel over the holidays? Holidays are about family and traditions and faith and love, not an impersonal generic hotel room.

I never make New Years resolutions. They are like setting yourself up to fail. If I want to do something, I will do it. If I don't, I won't.

Saw 'em this morning. Overnighted at their house on my way home from a business trip.

Not particularly; but I've felt like I WANTED to live someone else's life! ;-)

Mmm, barbecue, I think.

I have to name just one?

Health for me and my family; enough wealth to do some good in the world; and the ability to see the happiness and blessing in any situation.

Spending time on St. Simons Island, GA with my literary agent! A Southern tropical paradise!

Scrambled hard.

Tell Sherlock that's a good way to break the cup. Thermal expansion and all, you know.

Eh, not really. Most of my friends just call me Steph, which isn't really a nickname.

Christmas Tree evergreens. Closely followed by holiday spices.

Don't watch MTV.

NO. I dream in color.

What sorts of clothes does he like? Style, etc.?
