The ABC's of me.

Russ is off working call at the hospital so that typically leads to me doing some no-so-productive things. Like this post.  On the plus side, he only works 1 call shift this week.  The bad side? He works 3 next week.  Yikes. Who knows what will happen! (in my defense I went to yoga tonight, so it wasn't completely a waste of an evening and I'm actually surprisingly productive when he's on call)

So in the midst of my low productivity levels, I saw this little fill in floating around the blogosphere (on Becka and Alexandra's blog) and decided to try it out. Mostly to entertain myself.

So here we go!

A. Age: 26.  I still have to think about it because I still want to answer 23, and in my head I still think I'm 5 so...

B. Bed size: Queen - and thanks to my Mom, Larry and Grandparents it's an amazing Sleep Number Bed.  I have never slept better in my life.

C. Chore you hate: Cleaning bathrooms. And thanks to my amazing hubby I don't have to clean them - he cleans them & I take the kitchen.  So the chore I hate that I actually help do? Cleaning up dog poop from our backyard. Makes me gag just thinking about it.

D. Dogs: Just one, Miley - she's our kid, only with 4 legs and extremely hairy.

E. Essential start to your day: Coffee and at least 2 cups of it.

F. Favorite color: Pink in any shade but not such a neon pink fan.

G. Gold or Silver:  I go through phases. Currently it's gold.

H. Height: 5 feet 4.5 inches.  That 1/2 inch makes all the difference in the world.

I. Instruments you play:  I could play them well 5 years ago (not so much now but I'm working on it!), but I play the french horn and piano.

J. Job title: ESA - Executive Staff Assistant

K. Kids: hopefully someday.  Miley fits the bill for now.

L. Live: ...every day like it's the last.  But Missouri for those who want a more definite answer.

M. Married: Yup! Since 6-9-12 :)

N. Nicknames: I've never been a girl with nicknames.  My freshman roomie Sarah called me Melo, so there's that.

O. Overnight hospital stays: None so far and would like to keep it that way.

P. Pet peeve: Loud eaters - it's gross, chew with your mouth closed pleaseandthankyou.  And when people don't hold the door open for each other - where did all the manners go?!

Q. Quotes: "We must be our own before we can be another's" - Emerson

R. Righty or lefty: Righty.

S. Siblings: 1 - Nicole. She lives too far away (Texas) but I love that as we've gotten older we've become closer.  Those teenage years were rouuugh ;) Plus, we are planning a trip to go and visit her in February!

T. Time you wake up: 5:53AM

U. University attended: University of Missouri - go Tigers!

V. Vegetables you dislike: Please don't hate me for saying this...kale. GASP! I know! The super food is the one vegetable I just can't get myself to liking. My stomach has issues whenever I eat it and I've tried it baked and crispy, in casseroles and in soups.

W. What makes you run late: during the week it's not preparing my lunch the night before.  Any other time it could be anything from double-checking I turned my straightener off or running back upstairs to make sure I have bobby pins and a hair tie juuuust in case.

X. X-rays you've had: Just at the dentist. I think. There may have been an x-ray or two done growing up but they never lead to finding broken bones so I don't remember them.

Y. Yummy food: Anything with pasta. Or chocolate. Or strawberries. I like food.

Z. Zoo animal favorite: penguins. snow leopards. anything minus what's inside the reptile house.

I laughed at your comments for age. Someone asked me how old I was the other day and I said, "I don't know. 24?" lol :) In my head I'm still about 5, too.
