Cheater Post

I am borrowing this idea from Two Adults, One Brown Baby. Too much fun!

You like it?--you leave a link to yours and I will read it. You hate it?-read mine if you wish and shuffle along.

A to Z

A. Age: 37, closer to 40 than to 30. Yikes, how did that happen?

B. Bed size: Queen. Anything bigger would not fit in our room.

C. Chore that you hate: Taking the garbage to the street and returning the cans back behind the house.

D. Dogs: Love that my kids love the neighbor's dog down the street and they get to "walk her home". They give her water, a treat, and then play games on my neighbor's iPad. Walking Muffin home seems to take a half an hour, even though she lives just four houses away. I enjoy dogs if someone else owns them.

E. Essential start to your day: Cuddling with hubby sans CPAP and snoring.

F. Favorite color: Pink, I think for me. Green in March and December. Red in December and February. Bright colors in May through September. Orange in October and November. I like colors. Not too sure about a true fave.

G. Gold or silver: Gold for wedding ring and "real" jewelry from my honey. Silver for all other accessories.

H. Height: 5'8". Although one doctor visit measured me at 5'5", from a pull down ruler from the ceiling. I asked for a re-measure, still 5'5", until a year later. This happened just a couple of years ago.

I. Instruments that you play: Piano when I was growing up, pretty sure I lost all ability. French Horn through post-college, I'd be terrified to pick one up and play again. Handbells since 1999.

J. Job title: Speech and Language Pathologist and Home Manager and Little People Referee.

K. Kids: Two, Simon 6 1/2 (first grade), Norah (3 1/2, preschool).

L. Live: the Midwest, away from all of my immediate family and near all of Eric's immediate family.

M. Mother's name: Sharon Adeline

N. Nicknames: Rebecca at work, Becky everywhere else.

O. Overnight hospital stays: 2005 when Simon was born, and 2008 when Norah was born.

P. Pet peeves: People picking noses and nails.

Q. Quote from a movie: not quite my forte

R: Right or left handed: Right

S: Siblings: I'm the middle child, between 2 sisters. There is a wine called The Middle Sister.

T. Talents: (added as there was no T), I tell my kids that my special talent is peeling tangerines or oranges in only one continuous piece. True talents are crocheting, knitting, and sewing.

U. Underwear: New within the last year, I think.

V. Vegetable(s) you hate: Peas, none will cross my lips - ever. But I will heat them up for my kids.

W. What makes you run late: Getting everything done that everyone needs for the day ahead or the outing at present.

X. X-rays you've had: Ultrasounds and dental. One head scan when migraines were constant.

Y. Yummy food that you make: bacon wrapped pork tenderloin, chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, french toast casserole, shrimp lasagna rolls, enchiladas, buttermilk pancakes, homemade pizzas

Z. Zoo animal: Puffins. A puffin is like a bird and fish in a penguin-like body. The zoo by my parents house has puffins and they are delightful.
