A B C...


 I had nothing on my mind to write about... so instead I am going to give you a refresher course on your ABC's with some random facts thrown in about me. I'm so thoughtful, right? I know. You can thank me later :)

And yeah, I have probably done this already, but I don't care. 

ABC's of ME

A - Age: 25. Almost 26. Craaaaazy.

B - Bed Size: King. But sometimes it doesn't feel like that, with the husband who tends to not stay on his own side of the tracks, and the cats who like to stretch out and claim their territory.

C - Chore You Dislike: Cleaning litter boxes. Folding laundry. Cleaning toilets.    

D - Dogs: No dogs, just 2 cats that I take way too many pictures of. Can't help it. They are adorable!
 Oscar - just chillin'.
  Sadie being ferocious. Duh.

E - Essential Start to Your Day: I like to have time to lay in bed and slowly wake up. I hate it when I wake up late and I have to jump out of bed and start getting ready right away. It makes me feel like I am behind the whole day and everything is done with a sense of urgency. No fun. Instead, I like to lay there and cuddle with the kitties for awhile (because let's face it, they are really my only 'alarm' right now anyways...) I grab my phone and check my email, then browse Instagram/Facebook/Twitter. Then after about 20 minutes, I'm good to go and can get up and shower and be on my way. 

F - Favorite Colors: Pink, brown, grey. Orange and navy (gotta represent... Tigers and Bears!)

G - Gold or Silver?: Silver. I've always thought gold looks super tacky. 

H - Height: I don't know, 5'6 I think. Somewhere around there.

I - Instruments You Play(ed): Trumpet and piano. And a brief stint with the guitar (thanks parents for being wise and not spending a ton of money on a fancy guitar...you were right. Don't let it get to your head.)

J - Job Title: None! And it is glorious. Oh so very glorious. But don't you go thinking that I sit around and don't do anything all day. I keep busy.

K - Kids: Okay first of all, why is this always all there is for K? Poor K, it is always forced to be so one-dimensional. Second, I have none.   

L - Live: In a van. Down by the river. Hahaha. Just kidding. We live in our dream house and we will not be moving again any time soon. Unless it burns down, in which case we will have to. Otherwise, we are staying put. Our last moving experience was not great and we don't want to ever do it again if we can avoid it! Until we're super old...and then we'll make our kids move us :)

M - Mom's Name: Kathie. But I'm not allowed to call her that, so Mom. (Hi Mom!) 

N - Nicknames: Growing up: Skeeter, Stephy J, Step-on-Me. 

Nicknames from the hubby: Pet, Dirl. (We don't do any of those lovey-dovey gag me names... no sweetie/honey/baby here)

O - Overnight Hospital Stays: None so far. Only in my dreams before my wisdom teeth were ripped out ever so harshly, and I dreamt that they were going to take all my teeth out and put me in a coma or something. Thank goodness that didn't happen.

P - Pet Peeves: People who talk on their cell phones in stores/restaurants/banks etc. Loudly. For all to hear. Rude drivers. People who try to shove their political opinions down my throat via Facebook. Politics in general. People who are rude to animals.

Q - Quote From a Movie: Hahahaha... so many to choose from....

"Why are you peppering the steak?! You don't know if tigers like pepper."
"Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon."
(The Hangover)

"What's the soup du jour?"
"It's the soup of the day."
"Mmm, that sounds good. I'll have that."
(Dumb and Dumber)

"Here's a quarter. Go downtown and find a rat to gnaw that thing off your face."
(Uncle Buck)

R - Righty or Lefty?: Righty. Now that I think about it, R is always this question, too. R and K. So boring.

S - Siblings: I'm the middle child. The best part of the Oreo, if you will. Older brother, younger sister. Plus, now I have a sister in law on my side, and 3 sister in laws and 2 brother in laws on Josh's side. Gaining siblings rocks :)

T - Time You Wake Up: Preferably not early. Gross. 8:30-9ish is ideal. 

U - Underwear: Yup, I wear it. (I don't get this question. Are they asking if I wear it, or do they want a play by play of my underwear drawer? Well that is not happening, pervert. Even though I do have some cute ones.) 

V - Vegetables You Don't Like: Most of them. I will just tell you the ones I do like: corn, potatoes, raw carrots, and celery. The rest are iffy at best. I love fruits though. 

W - What Makes You Run Late: I think I have more time than I do for my 'laying in bed and gradually waking up' routine, and then I have to hurry through everything else. Breakfast, because I always intend on grabbing something quick and then realize I have nothing to grab real quick that is suitable for breakfast. My cats, because seriously, they are just too freakin' cute that I can't not stop and give them some love. My husband, because he won't get up and get ready until he absolutely has to. So for example, we have to leave at 8:30. He will roll out of bed at 8 and then get in my way and make me late, and then blame it on me for not getting up early enough. Boys are backwards. And weird.

X - X-Rays You've Had: My teeth and my back. But not at the same time. That would be odd.

Y - Yummy Food You Make: All of it, duh. No that is not true. I have had quite a few fails, but I am learning and getting better. I do make some mean chicken enchiladas though. Mmm. So good. Crap, now I am craving them.  

Z - Zoo Animal You Like: Oh stop, like there is a zoo animal I don't like?! You're funny. Even the snakes/lizards that kinda creep me out are cool in their own weird, slimy way. My absolute favorites are the penguins, though.
