Name: Donna aka. Medonnabp
Born: 3-6 PA.
I now live in: HoneyBrook
Married: Yep to Chuck
Kids: Yep, 1 ~
21 y.o. daughter
Nikki
Pets: Yep,
Peanut
my feisty Jack Russell
Personal
Stats: 5' 2", blue eyes, very long light brown
hair and I hardly ever wear it down because my family
complains if they get hair in their food. Every
other Christmas I donate over 12'' of my hair to the
Locks of Love Organization. They use it to make wigs for
cancer patients.
Glasses: yep and if you could see
what I see you'd stop making graphics just to save
what's left of your eyesight. But the problem with that
is I'd only read more and that's just as bad. Thank
heavens for the zoom feature. ;o)
If one of your friends had to describe you they would
say: First they'd say Oh did I wake you?
But usually goofy, easy going and friendly.
Just don't step on her toes!! Oh and at keg parties
don't be fooled... there will be juice in her cup.
Favorite hobbies:
Playing with my dog and my computer,
collecting JRT figurines, and reading.
Morning/noon/night person:
noon person now.
Favorite drink is:
Flavored water drinks and cappuccino
Favorite TV show:
House, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives,
Men In Trees, CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY, NCIS, and lots of movies
Best characteristics:
easy going and
friendly, I like helping people when I can
Most annoying or bad habit: Not
wearing my glasses when I go out in public and buying
the wrong stuff from the store because I couldn't read
the label. I also let my e-mail build up and up not
because I'm being mean but because e-mail
requires special attention and I have to be in the
right frame of mind not half asleep like most times.
Most embarrassing moment:
When Speedy got real sick I
picked her up and rushed her to the vets
office all while I was
still in my jammies, bedroom slippers and hadn't even
brushed my hair. I was like oops...
How you got started drawing: I've been drawing since I
was a kid
Fastest time to complete a graphic vs longest: depends
on the detail. Anywhere from 20
minutes to on and off for days.
My favorite graphics are: Jack
Russell's, puppy dogs, and almost everything from me
HoneyBrook Graphics :) and
Recycle Bin Graphics.
Favorite Poem:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod
<-- click
Pet peeves:
People who forward each and every single e-mail, story,
joke, poem, recipe, whatever that they receive!! UGH!!
Slow and stupid drivers, the phone when I'm sleeping,
websites with teeny tiny writing, half finished cans of
soda, graphic artists who don't provide a blank button.
Favorite foods:
chicken, salad, veggies
and pizzeria pizza
Car you drive: 2002
Toyota Corolla. My 88 T-Bird which
will soon be classified as a Flintstone's car when my
feet go through the floor boards. Is still in the
driveway in case I need it.
Dream Car: one from this millennium.
Sometimes it sucks having a husband who's a mechanic.
They keep fixing what's broke but then I'm glad because
mechanics' don't work cheap. Thanks heaven for moms. :)
Favorite color:
today it's red
On vacation, I like to go ... vacation? What's that?
Dream vacation: Alaska
If I could choose a new career choice or my dream
career, it would be? I'm doin' it baby! Making graphics.
:o)
Michael McSwain's beautiful
quote after a race: "Through all of our lives, the good
Lord puts a lot of adversities on our plates, and
sometimes we don't know how to take 'em. Sometimes we
think they're a smack in the face, but He's always got
another plan, and this right here is living proof of it.
He's blessed us all with each other and we're having fun
again." (Rom 5, 3-4, McSwain Version)
Favorite Font:
Tahoma but most times it
depends on my mood. Cac Futura Casual is my
favorite flavor this month.
Favorite HTML code: HTML what's that? *g*
target="new"
Type of computer: a
really awesome gateway

WS_FTP,
Cool Web Scrollbar, and

figurines but they're not soft and fluffy.
Favorite soap, perfume,
lotion: The
Healing Gardens zzz theraphy it has Chamomile
and natural extracts of vanilla bean and orange blossom
and smells heavenly! So does the orange flavor and
Love Spell.

Tangerine/orange,
The
Healing Gardens zzz theraphy,
Honeysuckle, lilacs, spaghetti sauce simmering, anything
with cinnamon being baked. Oh and... a clean puppy :o)
Smells that make me sick:
roses, most all perfume, bus fumes, Nikki's stinky lotion and the stinky smells that
come outta Peanut.
Snakes, spiders, and creepy crawly things make me...
Yell for my hubby. I am so scared
of ALL bugs and creepy crawlies!! 'Cept ladybugs.
I love to wake up to: an empty house
Don't mess with me when: I'm busy,
tired, watching a good movie or in pain!
People, or I'd describe my temper as...
I do have my slow burn days
but basically it's non
existent (well almost!) I get over
things easily and don't usually hold a grudge. My
daughter is the only one who can totally make me loose
control.
When I'm sick: Just leave me alone!
Do I tease people, and if so, what on? Yep! usually on
NASCAR stuff. But my family loves
teasing me about my eyesight. Things that I see and they
don't and things I don't see and they do. Ever see
square Christmas lights?? I have! *g*
Oh and about the time I
called the police about the foot prints in the snow
leading to our back basement window. Come to find out
they were goat foot prints. I had to call the police
back to tell them not to come. :o)
Favorite music: rock n roll
Do you cook and why?
Only when I have too. I used to
love to cook but my husband is
a VERY picky eater. He's still a kid food eater. He only
likes fake meat like hotdogs, chicken nuggets, stuff
like that. When I cook real stuff he either complains or
makes himself something else. Make him a bowl of Kraft
Mac n Cheese and he's a happy camper.
Do you like to clean house and why?
Ahhhh... NO!! I pay my sister who is in the
cleaning business, to clean.
Hey! I'm doing her a favor. *g*

section
Favorite comic strip:
Peanuts and The Better Half
Favorite cartoon Mickey or Bugs?
I much prefer Warner
Bros. mischievous silliness over Walt's goody two shoes.
People describe me as always prompt, a few minutes late,
early, or it varies greatly. Better
bring a lunch and a flashlight and do
not hold your breath,
I WILL be late! That is if I come at all.
When my computer messes up or other things in my life do
not go as planned, I usually:
P n' M, deal, then read
What do you consider as the events that changed your
life or made the greatest impact upon it?
The birth of
my daughter, and my marriage to
Chuck.
Number the
following in order of importance to you....
Ok so I'm bad... My doggy comes
first!! Loving pets, spending time with family,
spending time with friends, hobbies.
Assuming there is a major
disaster...you have one minute to choose what to take
with you... it has to be
something that you can carry on foot...
you would take? Peanut my dog
You rush into a public
restroom... go about your business and notice there is
no toilet paper... your reaction is? That
would not happen to me from experience I've learned to
look first!!
When looking at the stars at
night, what do you think about? I can't
tell you... but it ain't my husband!! LOL!! "Loving someone
doesn't mean you have to be with that someone, because
sometimes fate plays a fool on us and we are not meant
to be together. But still, there is an unspoken bond between us."

would you travel? Does it vary if you're driving?
Yep, I would so long as I was flying or Chuck was
driving.
3. Bath or shower? How often?
Showers mostly on accounta my bad knees. You
haven't lived until you've been stuck sitting in the tub
wondering how long it's going to take until you get
brave enough to stand the pain in your knees to get yourself out.
Usually everyday unless I'm sick.
4. Rate your temper from 1-10
with 10 being the strongest: Ah I hardly ever
get mad and if I do I don't stay mad long.

begin a friendship with someone? By the way I
walk. LOL!!
6. Of all your unique
facts...which thing is the most shocking to someone when
they hear it? Probably that I *sometimes*
like my dog better than my husband or kid.
7. If you're lurking, say I'm
here...this is a test to see if you're still breathing.
;) I'm not here it's just your
imagination. :)
8. Cards....once read do you
trash or keep them? Usually I keep em if
they're from special people.

kinds of food to eat for a month, what 3 would you

you've done or said to make someone smile? Oh

you or do you welcome each birthday? Guess
I'm too old now. Not much scares me. Well... except bugs
and thunderstorms.

not forget shopping. I LOVE shopping on the net. I don't
like spam, viruses and mean people.

mind or do you avoid telling someone exactly what you
think? Mostly I say what's on my mind unless
I think it might hurt someone I care about feelings.
