Theresa Ann Beattie
Nicknames?
Terri, T, or Ter. Now it's mostly Honey or Mommy! Once in a
while my 2 1/2 year old says "HEY, TER...?"
Favorite words or expressions?
Snarf, or Suck it up and move on. Now a days you'll also hear me saying
about 153 times a day "Do you need to go pee on the potty?" or "Sit down
and eat" or "If you misbehave again, I am going to take away your bubblegum
privleges", "Use your manners"......."Get your finger out of your sister's
ear!"

Occupation? "Retired" Sales Executive, now a Stay-at-home Mom with 2 part-
time home-based businesses selling residential and commercial security
systems and legal services broker selling pre-paid legal services. Both from
which I have taken an extended maternity leave...That's what's nice about
home-based businesses!
Current residence?
Copley, Ohio
Dream job?
Believe it or not, I have my dream job now - staying home and raising a
beautiful family! Pretty corny hey?
Dream place to live? Somewhere warm all year, low humidity, no crimes, no
prejudices, ...does it even exist?
Croutons or bacon bits? Bacon bits, but the real thing, not those
artificial nasty tasting red dyed things!
Favorite salad dressing? Sweet and Sour or Vidalia Onion
Have you ever gone skinny-dipping? Yes, but don't tell my mom or my
husband!
Do you make fun of people? Not since grade school. Now I feel guilty for
making fun of other kids back then with all my friends! I wish I could
apologize to them. When I got older I imagined how they must have felt and
how their mom's and dad's felt when they went home after school crying. I
dread the day my daughters come home sad and in tears because some kids were
making fun of them! Maybe I'll homeshool to avoid the tears!!
Favorite colors? Teal and cranberry
Have you ever been convicted of a crime? No.
Favorite singers/bands? I am way out of touch on music now a days.
Celine Dione,Phil Collins, Genesis, Moody Blues. Although I rarely have
time to listen to MY music anymore. Now it's Disney's Silly Songs
Favorite Christmas carol? White Christmas sung only by Bing himself from a
real record with the scratchy sounds and all!
Five of your favorite songs? Again, way out of touch with popular music.
Am very sentimental now that I am a mom. Still like Butterfly Kisses by Bob
Carlisle. Also like Amazing Grace (my Dad used to sing it) Hush Little
Baby...The Barney Song! (Things are pretty simple here!)
Favorite book? Zig Ziglar's Top Performance
Movie? Hmmm, again, haven't been to a movie for a long time either.
Cinderella...Pretty Woman...Moonstruck......you get the
picture??...The "it'll-never-happen-in-real-life happy ending chick flicks"
that
make you cry!
Hobbies? Love to golf, never have much time though! And playing with the
kids.
Toothpaste? UltraBrite
Favorite food? Donato's Pizza, cheesecake & anything chocolate!

Favorite ice cream? Ruggle's Bear Claw
Favorite non-alcoholic drink? Rootbeer or water
Favorite alcoholic drink? Scotch & water or gin & tonic
Shampoo or conditioner? Conditioner
Adidas, Nike or Reebok? I think I own Nike, although I rarely have a chance
to focus on myself, let alone my feet or what's on them. I've been
"barefoot
and pregnant" twice since 1996 - so whatever is comfortable and---on sale!
One pillow or two? Cotton or feather? Two. One for my head, the other to
keep my 2 1/2 year old from kicking me in the belly or back! Seems she
likes to squeeze in the middle of the bed in the middle of the night!
Definitely cotton, can't stand those feather sticks pricking me in the face!
Dogs or cats? neither
Brains or beauty?both
Nick or Disney? Disney
Jan or Marcia? Marcia- we were both the oldest girls in the family.
Greg or Peter? Now I have to say Greg because I married a Greg, but when I
was younger...Peter, he had pretty eyes.
Ginger or Marianne? When I was little, I thought Marianne was goofy. I look
back and Ginger was a real bimbo! So, I guess I really like Gilligan he was
real.
Mick or Keith? Neither
New York or California? California
Favorite perfume/cologne? Halston Couture
Favorite Web sites? No favorite yet. New to this surfing stuff. I'm still
confused as to
what happened to the Dewey Decimal System card files at the library!
Favorite subjects at school? Gym - especially when we learned to dance and
the girls got to pick a boy for a partner.
Least favorite subject at school? science
Favorite sport to watch? None, I can't/don't have the time/patience to sit
still that long. Although I like to attend baseball games just for the beer
and hotdogs.
Humiliating moment? Definitely completing this questionnaire! Wondering if
any one actually remembers who I am. I was only at Woodridge for one year!
A cause you care about? Welfare of children.
A perfect Saturday...? Sleeping in while my husband takes care of the girls
in the morning. Hanging around the house with my family.
Craziest idea or silliest thing? Same as my humiliating moment above!
Do you get along with your parents? Yes. I get along more with my Mom now
that I am older and a mother. I realize now where she's been coming from
all these years. I always thought she was overprotective and a bit wacko for
yelling all the time. I always got
along with my Dad, unfortunately, he died 6 years ago.
What do you look for in the opposite sex?
I don't look for the opposite
sex now. That stopped the minute I laid eyes on my husband 7 years ago.
Quirky things about you?
The only thing I can think of is I still recite
the same bedtime prayers I did when I was a little girl. But, I'm sure my
husband can come up with a lot more!
People would be surprised to know that…?
I am a terrible housekeeper! And
I didn't get married until I was 32 years old. Had my first baby at 35,
second at 37, third....???
Before you die, you'd like to…?
Dance with my husband at our grandchildren's
weddings.
Something great that happened to you? I met my husband at Put In Bay, fell
in "love at first sight", got married less than one year later, had 2
beautiful daughters.
Something sad that happened to you?
My Dad dying at age 55 - 3 months after
he walked me down the aisle. He never had a chance to meet my daughters.
Heroes / role models? My Dad and Mom
Butter or peanut butter (this being woody-related and all...) Peanut
Butter---crunchy!
My idea of luxury is... Going to the bathroom without 2 kids in there with
me!
Motto: I try to find the positive or lesson in every negative or obstacle
that comes my way, so I have always had this quote hanging in my office:
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long
at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for
us."---Helen Keller, Author & Lecturer
