ABC's of ... well, ME ...

I needed something new to blog about, so when I saw this on HairyShoeFairy's blog, I totally stole it and I knew she wouldn't mind a bit. Cuz she's nice like that.

• A. Age: Not quite 40 and that's all I'm going to admit.
• B. Bed size: King. It's the only way to go.
• C. Chore you hate: Unloading the dishwasher. Folding clothes. And ironing. All of which I avoid like. the. plague.
• D. Dogs: One. I think. She's around here somewhere. I think.
• E. Essential start to your day: Um... I don't really have one.
• F. Favorite Color: These days it's a pastelly aqua blue. Or a nice smoky blue.
• G: Gold or silver: Silver
• H: Height: Depends on who's measuring. 5'4 some days. 5'5 on other days.
• I: Instruments you play: Only the piano and I don't claim to do it well, however, some people seem to think I do okay and keep asking me to play for them. GOSH!
• J: Job title: Wife. Mother. Speech Paraprofessional for a local elementary (or sometimes two).
• K: Kids: Three super cute ones. Really. Ask anyone.
• L: Live: Teeny tiny two stoplight town in the middle of nowhere, better known as Idaho.
• M: Mom's name: Usually we call her grandma. My dad calls her mother, though. My husband says if he ever starts to call me mother, check him into the nut house because he's surely lost his mind.
• N: Nicknames: Kris
• O: Overnight hospital stays: Just with my super cute babies
• P: Pet peeve: Lately, it's irresponsible parents
• Q: Quote from a movie: GOSH! Get your own tots! Movie quotes don't stick with me. My son, on the other hand, can quote movies all. day. long. It's rather abnormal.
• R: Right or left handed: Right
• S: Siblings: Nine of them. Really. I'm the youngest. Five sisters. Four brothers. I am not nor was I ever spoiled. So there.
• T: Time you wake up: Alarm goes off at 6:40 but my body clock goes off anywhere between 4:00 and 6:30 or so... depending on how the early the husband's body clock has gone off. When he is awake, I usually am, too. Even with our king sized bed.
• U: Underwear: Always.
• V: Vegetables you dislike: Cooked water chestnuts. Cooked spinach. Stir fry. What? That's not a vegetable?
• W: What makes you run late: Ishee. Always Ishee. I can't find my shoes. I can't find my coat. I didn't brush my teeth. I haven't filled my water bottle yet. And nobody will find/do it for me so neither am I. You have no idea. It's a good day when we get to school before the tardy bell rings.
• X: X-rays you've had: Teeth. My back. My middle finger on my left hand. And not because it was overused!
• Y: Yummy food you make: Caramel popcorn. Apple dumplings. Scrambled eggs.
• Z: Zoo - favorite animal: Elephants & Giraffes. I'd gladly trade the dog and both cats in on one or the other. Okay, maybe just one cat. But for one of those cute little mini giraffes like on that one commercial, I'd trade both of them for sure!

Wanna steal it? Go ahead. Let me know so I can come read it. :-)
