I have this weird aversion to drive-throughs, if I&#8217;m driving, but the drive-through at the bank is just fine (and very essential when you&#8217;re with kids).<\/p>\n<p>2. I did some ballroom dancing and acting in high school and college, and some days I miss doing them (especially after watching <em>Dancing With the Stars<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>3. My husband and I love to quote movies in our conversations or to let the other person know how we&#8217;re feeling. One of our favorite lines (from&nbsp;<em>Remember the Titans<\/em>) is &#8220;You&#8217;re cookin&#8217; my grits, Yost.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>4. Though I consider myself an organized person, the thought of planning out every hour of my day (or every detail of my book) makes me squirm. I like looser outlines (or to-do lists), with wiggle room.<\/p>\n<p>5. I&#8217;ve never had a real positive horse-back riding experience, which is ironic, considering I married a man who loves horses and used to train them for racing. (Still need to put training race horses into a book).<\/p>\n<p>6. I LOVE chocolate, but not citrus, cherry, or raspberry-chocolate combinations.<\/p>\n<p>7. I have a fear of heights and sharks &#8211; so parasailing over&nbsp;shark-infested water would probably not be my thing.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp; <br \/>8. Despite the fear of heights, I rode in a hot air balloon as a kid, which was pretty cool.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp; <br \/>9. I get motion sick very easily (in cars, on planes, watching Mario Kart on the Wii). One time my DH and I were at a movie and I had to go sit on the floor at the side of the theater because I was so sick. <br \/>&nbsp; <br \/>10.&nbsp;My great-grandfather, Leslie Turner White,&nbsp;was an author whose books were&nbsp;published in the 1950&#8217;s&nbsp;and 60&#8217;s.&nbsp;One of them, <em>Lord Johnnie<\/em>, I&#8217;ve read and quite enjoyed. And though he died before I was born, we&nbsp;share the&nbsp;same birthday. <br \/>&nbsp; <br \/>And now to pass the award on to <a href=\"http:\/\/jolenesbeenwriting.blogspot.com\/\">Jolene Perry<\/a>.
