The ABC's of Me

March 9, 2011 Angela Pea2 Comments

Jumping on the Bandwagon here…

A~Age: 47

B~Bed Size: Queen

C~Chore You Hate: Cleaning the oven. There’s no easy or comfortable way to bend yourself sideways, stretch over the open door and reach the back corners.

D~Dogs: Yes! Maxwell Noir. Wonderdog Extraordinaire. Then there’s Bob the Cat…

E~Essential Start of Your Day: breakfast, which usually consists of steel cut oats with dried cherries, walnuts, brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon. As of today, I’ve given up coffee. EEEEK!!

F~Favorite Color: Green.

G~Gold or Silver: Silver – the platinum variety.

H~Height: 5’2”, 5’3″ if I stretch

I~Instruments I Play: Clarinet(s), as in multiple ranges and piano

J~Job Title: Professional Engineer; Senior Project Manager

K~Kids: Four – ~~Teen~~ Adult Daughter #1, Teen Daughter#2, Teen Son#1 and Teen Son#2

L~Live: Texas

M~Mom’s Name: Geneva

N~Nicknames: Angie, Grace Grace? Yes, Grace. Because I’m not.

O~Overnight Hospital Stays: Only one, when Adult Daughter#1 was born, simply because she showed up after dinner and I had to wait until my Doctor made rounds the next morning to get discharged!

P~Pet Peeve: purposefully misspelled words, such as “Kwik”. Grrrr….it annoys me so much that I won’t patronize any establishment with a quirkily spelled word on their sign. Babies out in public with nothing on but a diaper. This list could expand exponentially over the next week. See “E” above.

Q~Quote(s) From a Movie: “You’re a legend in your own mind”, Sudden Impact

“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need – roads.” Back to the Future

R~Right or Left Handed: Right

S~Siblings: Sisters. Several of them. I’m the oldest and it shows!

T~Time You Wake Up: 5:30 am, even on weekends. I have a stubborn inner clock. Miss Olivia sets the alarm.

U~Underwear: clean

V~Vegetable you Dislike: None – at least none that I’ve tasted so far.

W~What Makes You Late: See Letter “K” above. Those first two in the list? They don’t subscribe to the brush-your-teeth-shove-on-a-headband-head-out-the-door philosophy of life.

X~X-rays You’ve Had: Not so sure of the total – dental over the years, broken foot once, broken thumb…

Y~Yummy Food You Make: Meatballs. According to Teen Sons, I make the best meatballs in the world. They are best leftover and stuffed into a sandwich roll with extra sauce and cheese.

Z~Zoo Animal Favorite: Giraffes!
