The ABC's of Me

I ran across a great blog yesterday from We Believe Blogs called Magically Ordinary and one of her posts was the ABC's of Me.  I decided to play along and create my own.  Afterall, imitation is the highest form of flattery.  Especially in the blogosphere!

A. Area Code:  410- The main area code for those living in the Baltimore, Maryland metro area.

B. Bed size:  King. I sleep with approx. 4 pillows and so anything smaller and my husband can't fit in the bed with me.  Plus, we have a 75 pound dog that sleeps with us.  On my side, of course.

C. Chore I hate:  Emptying the dishwasher.  I will gladly fill it each and every time but I abhor emptying it.

D. Dog or Cat?:  Dogs!  I am horribly allergic to cats and no offense to those who love them but I think they smell.

E. Essential part of my day:  My pot of coffee first thing in the morning.  I must have splenda and sugar free french vanilla creamer to go with.  I can drink it without sugar in a pinch but NEVER without the creamer.

F. Favorite Animal: Currently my favorite is the star-nosed mole.  They are so ugly they're cute.


Life: The Star-Nosed Mole - The best home videos are here

G. Gold or Silver: Silver...but I have aspirations of platinum.

H. Height:  5 feet 9 inches.

I. Instrument I play:  When I was in 5th grade I played the bass fiddle.  That only lasted a year since it was taller than I was and was a real pain in the butt to take home for practice.

J. Job:  Wanna-be domestic superhero

K. Kids:  I have 2 boys. Sam is 7 and Noah is 5 and I am also a step-mom to 2 boys, David and Mikhail, who don't live with us but visit when they can.

L. Living Arrangements:  2 bedroom, 1 bath condominium on the third floor.  Yes, our neighbors hate us.

M. Mom's Name: Frances, but she went by Fran or Franny.

N. Nickname:  With a name like mine everyone assumes its a nickname so I just go by Sunday.  However, my nieces and nephews call me Aunt Sunny.

O. Overnight Hospital Stay:  I've had a few... Tonsillectomy when I was 8.  Twice for bacterial pneumonia (age 12 and 19).  2 C-sections.

P. Pet Peeve: People who talk on cell phones in public places like a restaurant or when checking out at a store.

Q. Quote from a movie:  I have quite a few...

"Life Is Messy" -Steve Martin in Parenthood.

Bella "I'm not afraid of you."
Edward "You really shouldn't have said that."
Twilight

"If you can't say anything nice, come sit by me."  -Olympia Dukakis in Steel Magnolias

R. Righty or Lefty?:  Righty

S. Siblings:  2 sisters.  My older sister is Caryn and she blogs over at Fat-n-sassy Mama. My younger sister, is Molly who has yet to be bit by the blogging bug.

T. TV Shows:  I rarely find time to watch TV, but when I do its always something on the Discovery, Discovery Health, or History channel.  My current faves are Pawn Stars, American Pickers, and the medical shows.

U. Underwear:  Yes.  But, they are nothing spectacular, expensive, or noteworthy.

V. Vacation I am dreaming of:  Someday I AM going to travel to Fiji, Bora Bora or Tahiti and stay in one of those luxury over the water bungalows with glass floors.



W. Why I am always late:  I have children.

X. X-rays you've had:  Goodness, I have had so many I should be radioactive by now.  I was always hurting myself as a child and teen so I have had both wrists, both ankles, and 1 shoulder x-rayed.  Now as an adult I have had my knees and spine looked at by both x-ray and MRI.

Y. Yummiest food to eat:  BBQ cheddar bacon burger with leaf lettuce, tomato, and sliced onions.

Z. Zoo animals you love:  Penguins.  They always make me smile.
