ABCs of Me

Hi All! It's been a while, but I thought I'd throw this post up so you don't think I disappeared into the void. A little survey about yours truly! A - Age: 32 B - Bed size: Queen, though you wouldn't always know it with Mr. Bony Bum crossing over to MY SIDE! C - Chore you hate: I actually don't hate many chorse, even the yucky ones. I suppose the worst is cleaning the microwave since it's higher up than me and awkward... but even then it's not so bad. D - Dog's name(s): Right, like I want another peeing mess making creature in my life! E - Essential start your day item: breakfast! I usually am at breakfast within 10 minutes of waking up! F - Favorite color: Red! Any shade, though not into pink. G- Gold or Silver: Gold - I'm sensitive to anything not gold. H - Height: 5'3" (Though I usually lie and say 5'4") I - Instruments you play(ed): with some skill: piano, fiddle, guitar with limited skill: trumpet, trombone, french horn, euphonium, tuba, flute, bassoon, percussion with little to no skill: clarinet, saxamaphone, oboe, recorder, ukelele J - Job title: Mistress of the House, Keeper of the Zoo, SAHM, Teacher, Mummy K - Kid(s): 2 - Girl: almost 5, Boy: 3, Girl: 14 months L - Living arrangements: two story house with 3 bedrooms, far too many bathrooms (4!), and a meagerly landscaped yard that's far too hot or shady to enjoy much. M - Mom's name: Gerharda N - Nicknames: Mel - But I HATE being called Mel by any but a few select privileged people (which doesn't include my husband!) O - Overnight hospital stay(s): Mostly for hip and knee surgeries, and two of my deliveries (the other I went home that day by choice) P - Pet Peeve: Stupid people, tardiness, smoking near non smoking areas, people who say "orientate" when they mean "orient", excessive incorrect punctuation, ignorance, I should stop before you think I'm an intolerant jerk... Q - Quote from a movie: "My name is Inigo Montoyez. You killed my father. Prepare to die." R - Right or left handed: right S - Siblings: A younger sister and much younger half brother T - Time you wake up: when ever I hear the melodious cries of one of my lovely darlings, which is any time between 5 and 7 a.m. U- Underwear: nothing exciting. V - Vegetable you dislike: the bitter ones: parsnips, radishes, turnips. W - Ways you run late: when my husband sets the pace or when something is left behind at the house X - X-rays you've had: teeth, hips, collarbone, knee Y - Yummy food you make: homemade pizza, mediterranean vegetable pie, crepes.
