ABC's of Me

Tagged by my sister--sorry!

A- Attached or single: In reality wonderfully attached--14 years, in practice--usually a psudo-single mother during the week.

B- Best Friend: Don't do best friends--but can't live without FREQUENT chats with my sisters and many of my other great friends. I have to have lots cause I'm so high maintenance :)

C-Cake or Pie: Probably cake--jsut depends, but like desserts in general.

D- Day of Choice: Any day that Reed is home--right now Saturdays are great. Reed is usually here and we are not doing any sports so we have a whole day to decide what to do!

E- Essential Item: internet, cell phone, mascara, comfy PJ's, music

F- Favorite Color: hard to say--depends on what for. Right now I like apple green just because, black to wear (always) and orange tones for decorating!

G- Gummi Bears or Worms: swedish fish--for a Gummy treat, but I do like bears too--only the really good ones!

H- Hometown: born in Ogden Utah--live in Louisville, Ky

I- Indulgence(s): Too many--getting nails done, eyebrows waxed, shopping for Zoe :)

J- January or July: July--but by default! I don't love the super hot, but would prefer hot to cold. And I do like the summer activities with my kids.

K-Kids: 4

L-Life is incomplete without: my sweetie. I can do anything else when I can connect with him.

M- Marriage Date: December 14, 1993

N- Number of Siblings: 3 sisters, 1 brother (deceased)

O- Oranges or Apples: oranges, esp with chocolate!.

P- Phobias or Fears: don't know how to describe--but it's things with weird dimensional texture--gives me the creeps--like the underside of mushrooms and such.

Q- Quote(s): .I've been looking all over the internet for a new one I just saw and loved--it was by Sister Hinckley. Now I can't find it--but here is the quote I just put on my wall. (Thanks Heidi!)

R- Reason To Smile: watching my kids play, good conversation, great friends, dates with Reed & sleep!

S- Season: spring through early summer. I love it when it starts to get warm and the spring flowers. I even like gardening for the first month. I love the feel of starting to go with less clothes--capris, no jackets and sandals!

T- Tag Six: Kathryn, Melissa, Vicki, Cheryl, Lyndsie, Lacey (sorry guys--!)

U- Unknown Fact About Me: I recently was nominated for an award of sorts (another post)

V- Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animal: Our house is sort of middle of the road. No red meat anymore--I miss it only occasionally. All chicken and turkey. If I liked more of the "meaty" veggies, it would be better for me!

W- Worst Habit: snapping at my kids or using a sharp voice!

X- X-Rays or Ultrasounds: huh? preferaby neither since I'm not planning any more babies or sickness!

Y- Your Favorite Food: mexican

Z: Zodiac: Cancer--but I hardly ever read a horoscope! Cheesy

way to go. I also enjoy it. Even though I am your sister, I love hearing you describe certain things about yourself. I think it gives more insight into each other.

I know you don't love to do the list, but I do love to hear what you have to say and see your wall again.

I love the blog look and you probably didn't run into as many "blogging for dummies" moments as I did. I love that wall, is it from your sister's froggie kisses link? I must see her stuff.:) I love orange for decorating too. In fact, it is in every main room of our house with chocolate brown (must have something to do with yummy chocolate and oranges).

Great list! It is alway so fun to learn new things about our friends. I'll have to get working on mine!

I too would pick Swedish Fish, love the new wall decor and I too love days when the hubby is home. You just have to enjoy them when you get them. Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to read the other lady's lists too.
