Blogger ABC Game

I saw this on another blog and have of course removed their answers and inserted my own, but its the ABC Blog Game...

A: Age.
30... It still pains me to say this. It really hurts to write it.

B: Bed Size
Full. I had a king but I hated it. i still own it, but i prefer the  full size.

C: Chore you hate
Laundry.. Its the most self defeating chore of all. It never stays done for longer than 12 hours. When your done, your just going to change your clothes for bed hence creating more. IT NEVER ENDS.

D: Dogs
Sassy, the best damn dog in the world. She is a pit / lab mix. She has the coloring of a pit but looks like a lab. She doesn't jump, doesn't bark, doesn't leave the property lines. She can be left out with out being tied up. She mothers the kids when they are outside following them everywhere to make sure they are OK. She starts the nights out on my daughter bed, but comes to sleep next to my bed once I am in for the night. She will give one low bark to let me know we have company when some one pulls in the drive and once I show her its OK, she is friendly and welcoming. BEST DOG EVER.

E: Essential start to your day
TEA. Tea, definitely tea. You can say I am a tea-aholic. I must drink like 7-10 cups a day and if I am out I am scouring for a Dunkin Donuts... (they have the best tea)

F: Favorite color
White. I know its not technically a color. But white anything looks so new and clean. It makes me feel refreshed. If I had to pick a color it would have to be color combo's.. Like Gray and Pink or Light blues with Yellows.

G: Gold or silver
I would say mainly silver or white gold. Though I have been hankering for an over sized gold watch. I think Santa is gonna buy herself one for Christmas this year.

H: Height
5'7..... Unless I have heels on, then you guarantee I'm easily 5'10 -5'11

I: Instruments you play
I used to play the viola. I loved the viola, I wish I would have seen that through. I was good at it too.

J: Job title
MOM. I am a stay at home mom. My duties include but are not limited to nurse, maid, cook, personal chef, personal driver, laundry attendant, organizer, personal shopper, party planner and tutor.

K: Kids
Two beautiful girls. One is almost 12 and the other is going to be 3 VERY soon. They are polar opposites and I adore them more than anything.

L: Live
Live everyday like its your last. Live life to the fullest. Living the dream.... LMAO

M: Mother's name
To me she's my Momma.. So that's what your gonna get from me!

N: Nickname
Work it was La La ( because I was always so happy and bubbly and walked around like la la la la )
My close friends and family call me Lay. My favorite Aunty started calling me this when I was little and it stuck. I get very offended when people try to call me this and I don't think they have the right to. Very select and chosen few are allowed because the name is so personal. And my hubby's pet name for me is Juanita. I am not Spanish, it bares no resemblance to my actual name and I don't even know why he calls me this but he does. I am Juanita and I love that I am. But because of Juanita my husband has been renamed Trish. We are Trish and Juanita. Worst part is we both answer to these names in public, if he yells it out and vice versa in stores we will answer.

O: Overnight hospital stays
Once for a major surgery I had in 2001 and when both of my children were born.

P: Pet peeves
Dishes on the counter next to the sink. Nothing gets me more annoyed than this. Arrogance. It peeves me  when people are egotistical and arrogant.


Q: Quote from a film
“I always thought insanity would be a dark, bitter feeling, but it is drenching and delicious if you really roll around in it.”  - The Help

“Ever morning, until you dead in the ground, you gone have to make this decision. You gone have to ask yourself, "Am I gone believe what them fools say about me today?” - The Help

“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”  - The Help

R: Right or left handed?
Rightie, I come from a long line of them!

S: Siblings
A sister who is only 16 months younger than me I always used to sing to her " she's my sister, I love my sister" from the kids show Barney.. She hated that. A brother who is 10 years younger and I love and adore. And a half brother who is 24 years younger than me. He was born already an Uncle to my oldest... LOL.

T: Time you wake up
Usually around 6:50... I have to get the kids up by 7:30, I appreciate that time alone and quiet to clean up make lunches, have my tea and feed the dog.

U: Underwear
I have them, yes. I wear them sometimes.... Ha!

V:Vegetable you hate
Brussel Sprouts. I just don't like them.

W: What makes you run late
This little person in my house who is 2 and hates to get dressed and stay clean for longer than 3 minutes. Or her father who likes to wait till 2 minutes before we have to leave because " I'm a guy and it only takes me 2 minutes to get dressed" (20 minutes later we can finally leave)

X: X-Rays you've had
Back, shoulder, tummy, head, face, pelvis. Funny though, I have never broken anything except my nose....

Y: Yummy food that you make
I have to say that lately my pot roast has been pretty kick ass!

Z:Zoo animal
Elephants. Even more so since reading and watching the movie water for elephants.
