If you use this meme, please email me either a copy of your answers or a link to your blog entry.

Here are my responses:

Most treasured object in the house:
My computer's hard drive.

What is always with you:
My glasses. I don't think I've ever left the house without them. (I certainly wouldn't get very far.)

Broken item that you can't part with: The red and blue quilt I made for myself in college. Some of the material is too worn to wash, so I can't use the quilt. But I can't get rid of it, either.

Most recent bargain or yard sale find:
A Northwest Indian-motif green glass paperweight.

Newest gadget:
iPod shuffle. It was a gift from my employer.

Best award:
Framed poster of an Apple "LP" commemorating the 1,000,000th download at the iTunes Music Store. (I was on the Music Store launch team.)

Most distinctive family heirloom:
An antique wooden spelling toy that my father used as a child.

Best recent gift received:
Silver earrings my mother bought for me at the Folklife Festival.

Next big purchase:
Some sort of hutch/buffet for our dining room.

Most-read book:
The Bone is Pointed, by Arthur Upfield. I read through Upfield's Napoleon Bonaparte detective series every two or three years. The Bone is Pointed is one of my favorites.

Most valuable possession:
My engagement ring.

The object you most identify with:
Definitely the iMac!
