Hey, thanks Jo of The Book Jotter for being the one to introduce to me this meme! I shall play along. While I often let personal details drift into this blog, I have maybe never done an intro post; and the “About Julia” link above is admittedly brief. Without further ado, the ABC’s of pagesofjulia.
Age: Just a few months away from 30 now, and just a few days away from knee surgery and feeling my age… 
Book Size: Mass market paperback is best because most portable (and lightest), but whatever format the book I want to read comes in is fine!
Chore That I Hate: Toilets!
Dogs: My two babies, Ritchey and Hops:
Essential Start to My Day: Berries with my breakfast, please!
Favorite Color: Green.
Gold or Silver: Silver. Gold, yeck!
Height: 5’9″
Instruments That I Play: Took piano lessons for some 6-7 years but that’s all gone now… I have a djembe I used to like to play but it’s been a while on that, too. I like to drum on whatever’s available though.
Job Title: Librarian. Because I’m in a one-librarian library, I have no specialties or modifiers; just, Librarian.
Kids: Noooooo!
Live: Houston, Texas.
Milk: Soy, please. I’m moderately lactose-intolerant.
Nickname: Occasionally Jules or JJ but mostly, no.
Oldest Living Relative: We celebrated my grandfather’s 90th birthday last year, and he’s going strong…
Pet Peeve: Probably bad cell phone manners, like answering mid-conversation or in a place of business or on a date or IN THE LIBRARY.
Quote From a Movie: Oh heck, I’m not much of a movie-watcher. How about when Alabama said to Clarence, “I think what you did was so… so… romantic!”
Right or Left Handed: Right.
Siblings: None.
Time I Wake Up: 6:00 to go straight to work; 5:00 to run before work; 4:00 to ride my bike before work; on the weekends 6ish to go ride, or 9ish if I’m sleeping in (rarely).
Underwear: My, this IS personal, isn’t it? No.
Vegetable I Hate: Bell peppers and olives! Ew! Love most of the rest of them, though.
What Makes Me Run Late: Husband. 🙂
X-Rays I’ve Had: Ankles, foot, knees, back, neck, wrist, teeth, nose, and skull! (Not all from the same incident.)
Yummy Food That I Make: I like many foods that I make. 🙂 Husband has been known to request curried carrots, spicy plum chicken stir-fry, and ginger chicken and rice. I like my chili-stew and corn pudding, and gazpacho, yum.
Zoo Animal: Monkeys of all kinds!
That was fun! Care to share any personal data with us today? Get to know your fellow blogger?

I didn’t know you could be moderately lactose intolerant. I prefer soy milk as well, but I just like the taste better.
There are varying levels of intolerance… some people get very very sick from just a touch of milk, some less so… and most of us process certain dairy foods that have been processed more than milk (yogurt, ice cream, highly processed cheeses) better than straight milk, if that makes sense. Just in case you were curious. 🙂
I had no idea. This is good to know. I feel for you and other sufferers. One of my friends in college really suffered from this until the doctors figured out what was the cause. Now she is much better.
Wow, 4 am to go riding: very impressive! :–)
Yea I can’t do it too many days in one week or in a row! But what a great way to start the day!
So fun to see the pups again.
Ha, hi Thomas, I thought of you when I posted that pic – I thought, here’s one personal item that HAS graced the blog world before. 🙂
Nice to see you joining in. Glad to know I am not the only early bird!
