Me A-Z

I've seen this on a couple blogs lately & it looks like fun, so here's my version:

A. Age: 28 as of yesterday. It was a really great birthday, for being a Wednesday. Highlights of the day were - no work, "mojito" pedicure (Thanks Angie!!), and lunchtime skinny girl margaritas!

B. Bed size: King - I like to have my space. B & I will cuddle each night & then I have to move back over to my side so I can actually sleep.

C. Chore you dislike: Dishes. Definitely, hands down I HATE HATE HATE cleaning dishes. This is why 99.9% of the time I cook & B cleans. I also really dislike grocery shopping, now that I have a toddler.

D. Dogs: We all love dogs, but are waiting to get one until Abby is old enough to ask for one & help take care of one.

E. Essential start to your day: Coffee and Facebook.

F. Favorite color: Depends on my mood. I like most colors except neon colors & am not a huge fan of orange.

G. Gold or silver: Silver, although there is a time & a place for Gold.

H. Height: 5′ 3.5" - yes that extra .5" counts!

I. Instruments you play(ed): ummm...the recorder? I really am not musically inclined in any way.

J. Job title: Supermom; Office Manager; Wife of the Year, Gourmet Chef  too many to list

K. Kids: Abigail Jean, 17 months

L. Live for ______: God, Husband, Abigail, ME!


M. Most embarrassing moment: Why would I willingly share my most embarrassing moment? I have a good embarrassing story, but I doubt it's my MOST embarrassing. A few years ago, B&I lived in a condo, across the street from a halfway house for disabled people. We used to park in front of their house if parking was limited in front of our house. One day I got home from work, parked in front of the disabled house & tripped on something (who knows what, because it was flat, smooth pavement) and did a complete yardsale in the middle of the street. I mean fell on my stomach, purse contents went flying, etc. I got up, looked around (nobody saw me? awesome!!), gathered my purse back together & went inside my home. Brandon asked something about my trip & I realized he'd witnessed the entire thing from our bedroom window.

N. Nicknames: Meg, Meglet, NutMeg

O. Overnight hospital stays: Only one, when I had Abby

P. Pet peeves: Jeans that get wet on the bottom & that spreads until your entire lower leg is wet, also wet socks; cabinet doors left open/ajar; people who smoke with their kids in the car; people who think they are better than everyone else a.k.a. SNOBS!


Q. Quote from a movie: I love movies, but I am not one of those people who can recite quotes from every movie I've ever seen. So I'll go with one from one of my favorite movies, When Harry Met Sally:

Harry Burns: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.



Sally Albright: Which one am I?


Harry Burns: You're the worst kind; you're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.


Sally Albright: I don't see that.


Harry Burns: You don't see that? Waiter, I'll begin with a house salad, but I don't want the regular dressing. I'll have the balsamic vinegar and oil, but on the side. And then the salmon with the mustard sauce, but I want the mustard sauce on the side. "On the side" is a very big thing for you.


Sally Albright: Well, I just want it the way I want it.


Harry Burns: I know; high maintenance.

R. (the R was missing from the blog I stole this off, so I'm making something up) Role Model: My Grandma! And a special shout out to my mommy!

S. Siblings: I don't have any.

T. Time you wake up: 5:45-6am-ish

U. University attended: I went to community college & then went straight into my "career", which was real estate. Now I"m an office manager at a computer software consulting company. Yeah...

V. Vegetables: Green beans!!! I love veggies! All except for cooked mushrooms. Gak!

W. What makes you run late: my kid. We always run late now, and I'm not proud of it.

X. X-rays you’ve had: gosh I don't know. Nothing note-worthy.

Y. Yummy food you make: Lasagna, potato salad, salsa, enchaladas (my mom's recipe)
Z. Zoo animal favorites: Hippos!
