A-Z Meme

I've seen this floating around most recently at Sizzle Says and One N Jen.  Since I can't seem to find the words to express what I really want to write about, A-Z provides good distraction and reminds me of when I first started blogging and we all did silly memes from time to time.

A. Age: 35 (but only for a few more days!)

B. Bed size: Queen, but with two little dogs who are convinced they are Mastiffs, it never seems big enough

C. Chore that you hate: Dishes. Dishes by hand more accurately.   With a dishwasher, and I don't mean ME as the dishwasher, easy stuff.  Washing all the dishes by hand?  HATE!

D. Dogs: Two.  Morgan, 5, and Spencer, 12, both affectionately referred to as the miniature terrorists.

E. Essential start to your day: Coffee.  Don't try to convince me about "its a horrible habit" or any other nonsense, just let me have my coffee and if you are the one making my coffee, by all means, GET IT RIGHT.

F. Favorite color: Favorite colors to wear black, grey and navy.  Favorite colors otherwise, taupe, lavender and periwinkle.

G. Gold or Silver: Silver.  Silver or Platinum.

H. Height: 5’3” (that's what it says on my license anyway)

I. Instruments you play: Piano.  A very recent student, I'm not super great, but I love to play.

J. Job title: Household manager, professional organizer, keeper of all things, writer, entertainer, listener, dog wrangler, patience giver and orchestrator of lessons in how to maintain sanity.

K. Kids: Just the furkids, Morgan and Spencer.

L. Live: Seattle, WA.

M. Mother’s name: Sharon

N. Nicknames: V, Miss V

O. Overnight hospital stays:  Too many to count. Elementary school when I had mono, landing at the bottom of a staircase unconscious, being hit by a car.  Let's just call it enough for this lifetime.

P. Pet peeves: Disrespect-especially on obvious things, arrogance, ignorance, deception, self centeredness.

Q. Quote from a movie: "If you don't like it, leave.  There are exits on every floor."  (I don't remember the name of the movie)


R. Right- or left-handed: Right

S. Siblings: One brother.

U. Underwear:  Yes.  Some super sexy, some utilitarian.

V. Vegetable(s) you hate: Artichoke.

W. What makes you run late: The Internet.  Every. Single. Time.

X. X-Rays you’ve had: Wrist, multiples on my ankle, ribs, pelvis, head (except I think they call the head a CT?)

Y. Yummy food that you make:  Alla Vodka sauce, bread from scratch, butternut squash pesto, risotto, chicken marsala, pumpkin bars, oatmeal cookies, fajitas, lasagna, spinach sundried tomato orzo salad...too many good ones to list.

Z. Zoo animal: PENGUINS!  I adore penguins!
