ABCs of Me

Yet another silly meme.  Kinda fun though. Can't remember where I picked this up.

The ABCs of me:



A- Age: 41, 42 is coming in a couple of weeks!



B-Bed size: California King. Nothing else will suffice!



C-Chore you hate: Emptying the dishwasher. Good thing I rarely have to do it!



D-Dogs: Laprador (age 13, adopted from the Berkeley, CA dog pound in December 1997) and BeagleDog, a purebred Beagle I acquired from my brother’s neighbor a few years ago.



E-Essential to start your day: Crystal Light Sunrise Grapefruit – I take statin drugs and can’t have real grapefruit. Also, hot tea on most days (various flavors from Republic of Tea, Tazo, and Celestial Seasonings).



F-Favorite color: PURPLE! Who didn’t already know that about me???



G-Gold or silver: Silver. I do have set each of diamond studs and opals set in gold that I inherited from my grandmother and mother that I occasionally wear.

H-Height: 5”6 with a 30” inseam – short legs.



I-Instruments you play: Kazoo. Not really.



J-Job title: First Grade Teacher.



K-kids: 19, in my classroom! Plus Niece and Nephew, who are “mine” when their parents have had enough of them. And of course, The Little Mermaid – I was her nanny for a gazillion years (starting at age 3, and now she’s a junior in college!).



L-Live: Intermountain West.



M-My mom's name: Squatty Wombat… at least, if you asked me or Igor.



N- Nicknames: Mamie, Teeeeeeeeacher, and recently "Badger." Of course, I've been calling Mr. Mamie "Hedgehog," so....


O-Overnight hospital stay: None of my own; plenty with my mom in her last months. Ugh.

P-Pet peeve: Tardiness.



Q-Quote from a movie: “I’ll bite your leg off!”



R-Right/lefty: Is this a anatomical question or a political inquiry?



S- Siblings:  Younger brother, younger stepsister. Both awesome human beings!

T-Time you wake up: 6:00 a.m. on school days.



U-Underwear: Usually coordinated with other parts of the day’s ensemble.



V-Veggies you dislike: The tree part of the broccoli – terrible texture!



W-What makes you run late:  Getting distracted.

X-X-rays you've had: Teeth (oodles of orthodontia in my youth), feet (bone spurs).



Y-Yummy food you make:  Many things!

Z-Zoo animal: Penguins, rhinos, elephants.
