A is for Axe

I love reading these kind of posts, so I'm doing it too.  : )

A - age: turned 39 at the end of January. Gulp.

B - bed: queen sized, I feel lost in a King.

C - chore you hate: changing the toilet paper roll. and for some reason I'm the only one who does it.

D - dogs: Frank the puppy, who we adopted from an animal rescue. His vet said we need to put him on adult food soon, because he's growing so fast.

E - essential start your day item: H20. Followed by coffee. I kind of want a one cup coffee maker on my nightstand.

F - favorite color: black. I have 18 black shirts, 4 black sweaters, 4 pairs of black pants, 3 black coats, 2 pairs of black boots, 2 pairs black loafers, and one pair of black birkenstocks.

G - gold or silver: platinum

H - height: 5 '10

I - instruments you play: flute, and whatever I can remember of the piano.  Five years ago I sat down and played a bit on a piano in front of Mike, and he almost fell on the floor. He had no clue.

J - job title: cook, waitress, laundress, housecleaner, dog walker, chauffer, food shopper, car cleaner, teacher, entertainer, social secretary, runner, seamstress, budgeter/bill payer, blogger, wife, mom, daughter, friend, sister, cousin, niece, grandaughter, lover of reality television, movies, music, magazines and books.

N - nick name: Sleeper, Moll, Cookie Puss,

O - overnight hospital stays: two, after my kids were born.  Luke took 31.5 hours of labor, E took 3.5.

P - pet peeve: when people use the word AND when saying the year. For example, two thousand AND eleven.  AND means period, so that would mean 20.11.  Just say, two thousand eleven. Please.

Q - quote from a movie:  "See, I'm on this new diet. Well, I don't eat anything, and right before I feel I'm going to faint, I eat a cube of cheese. I'm one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

R - right or left handed: right.

S - siblings: I'm the oldest. There are four girls and one boy who come after me. And we all have cool names. My brother's name is Gage.

T - time you wake up: hmmmm. The first time? Usually before dawn, and I lay there for about an hour.  Then I manage to fall asleep before Mike's alarm goes off. I get up for good at 7:20.

U - underwear: thong tha thong thong thong.

V - vegetable you dislike: green peppers. I've tried, I just can't do it.

W - what makes you late: I am never late. I'm usually early, then I wait in the car until it's time to go in.

X- rays you've had done - I've had three on my right ankle (once when I was on vacation in New Orleans and I broke it. and once in college, when I broke it then, and one other time when I just sprained it), and my teeth.

Y - yummy food you make - I'm a whiz at anything you can fit into a casserole dish.

Z - zoo animal favorite - meerkats. Half the time they're laying around like couch potatoes, the other half they're standing there looking like they should be smoking a cigarette.
