I chose this picture to start off my post because I think it captures my personality. I’m friendly {see big smile that is always on my face}, I love hanging out and doing fun things with friends {note blurry people in background} but sometimes I feel kinda shy and awkward. {Note gangly body and awkward pose.}
Although, perhaps the awkward pose can be attributed to the bowling ball. After all, my bowling score usually equals my age, at best, and this is how I bowl:
This picture also means I’m not afraid to embarrass myself in public. And sometimes in public, this
But most of the time we’re just your typical, run of the mill, family:
Most of the time. :)
So, without further ado – here are the ABC’s of Me!
A. Age: 34
B. Bed size: Twin. {I know. My space saving plan turned into the “what was I thinking? plan” Changing this answer as soon as I can.}
C. Chore you dislike: DISHES. Even with a dishwasher.
D. Dogs: One little Terrier/Morkie mix named Lucy!
E. Essential start to your day: Coffee. {Love my Keurig!}
F. Favorite colors: Red & Pink
G. Gold or silver: Silver
H. Height: 5’7’’
I. Instruments you play(ed): Piano
J. Job title: Single mama, English Teacher, Piano Teacher, Writer, Blogger
K. Kids: 2 boys
L. Live: Orange County
M. Mom’s name: Nancy
N. Nicknames: Re, Re-Re, Reannah Banana
O. Overnight hospital stays other than delivering a baby: None, thank goodness! {Knocks on wood}
P. Pet peeves: Poor grammar. Bad manners. People who litter. Wearing wet socks.
Q. Quote from a movie: ELF: “You sit on a throne of lies! You stink. You smell like beef and cheese, you don’t smell like Santa!”
“Buddy the Elf, what’s your favorite color?”
“I'm singing/I'm in a store/and I'm siiiiiingiiiiing!/I'm in a store/and I'm siiiiiingiiiiing!” {I can’t wait until Christmas!}
R. Righty or lefty: Righty
S. Siblings: 2 sisters – one older, one younger.
T. Time you wake up: 6:30am on weekdays and whenever the kids wake me up on weekends.
U. Unusual thing about you: If you ever see my Starbucks cup, it probably does NOT have my real name on it. Since no coffee shop ever spells my real name right, I started making up easy names for them to spell. I used to feel guilty - like the barista would KNOW I was lying!! {Yeah, right.} When they didn't notice, it became a game. Depending on my mood, sometimes I'm a Julie or Elizabeth and sometimes I have some fun and am a Paris, Sapphire or Rain. ;o)
V. Vegetables you don’t like: Mushrooms.
W. What makes you run late: Procrastinating & thinking something will “only take 2 minutes” when it really takes 10.
X. X-rays you’ve had: Hand.
Y. Yummy food you make: I’d like to think I have a few good recipes. This list comes from my 2 best customers - my boys: My Malawi Chicken, Crock Pot Meatballs, French Dip Steak Sandwich, Chocolate/Oreo layered cake & Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
Z. Zoo animal you like: Giraffes and Elephants. {We were lucky enough to see a baby elephant getting a bath at Disney’s Wild Animal Park!! It was awesome!}
