ABC's of Me!

I saw this on another blog and figured I'd give it a shot. After all, you're probably getting Graham'ed out. Well, maybe not some of you!

A - Age: 29
B - Bed size: Queen right now, but I'd rather a King. Joel says no because he likes to cuddle. I really think he just gets cold and I get hot when I sleep, so he likes to steal my heat.
C - Chore you hate: Dishes. They gross me out.
D - Dog's name: No dog...maybe someday, but Graham's allergic so maybe not.
E - Essential start your day item: Water. Very original, I know.
F - Favorite color: Purple
G - Gold or Silver: Silver
H - Height: 5'1" Yeah, very modelesque!
I - Instruments you play: I played the trombone in elementary school. It was literally bigger than me and I had to carry it home from school every day. Guess why I quit??
J - Job title: Mom, Wife, Former Engineer
K - Kid(s): Graham- Best Baby Ever (I can call him a baby if I want to, Thank You Very Much!!)
L - Living arrangements: In South Africa with my husband and son. Next living arrangement is with my inlaws...dun, dun, dun. j/k
M - Mom's name: Mary
N - Nicknames: Candy
O - Overnight hospital: Postpartum Recovery
P - Pet Peeve(s): Hmmm...lots....negative people, close talkers, people who chew with their mouth open....that's what comes to mind.
Q - Quote from a movie: "Hey Peter, I'm gonna have to ask you to come in on Saturday... so if you could just get here around 9:00, that would be great.Oh, yeahhhh, I'm gonna need to go ahead and ask you to come in on Sunday too." Office Space
R - Right or left handed: Right
S - Siblings: This is complicated, here goes. I was adopted, so my biological mother had me, another daughter, and a son. I don't know who my dad is so there might be more there. My parents adopted me at birth, but had both been previously married. My mom had two daughters. My dad had two sons. My parents took guardianship of my other sister when she was 14 and her mother passed away. So, I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers, plus inlaws, and my bio-father's kids, if any. Whew!
T - Time you wake up: Around 8.
U - Underwear: Itty Bitty, Teeney Weeny, Yellow Polka Dot...okay not the yellow polka dot part, at least not most of the time.
V - Vegetable you dislike: mushrooms, green peppers. I sound like Joel's dad!
W - Workout style: 45 minute walk in my hilly subdivison and chasing my toddler. Kind of lame, right?
X - X-rays you've had: Neck (for my chiropractic adjustments) and the dentist.
Y - Yesterday's best moments: Chasing Graham around. His exploring cracks me up. My absolute favorite was when we rocked in the glider while his nap wore off. It's the best!
Z - Zoo favorite: How about safari favorite?? I love the elephants.

Wow! That was interesting -- I might have to do that as well...I'm not much taller than you. I'm 5'2".

Oh and also -- we have King bed, and I HIGHLY recommend it. It was the BEST big purchase we've ever made. Niether one of us would go back.

I think you have the zoo beat with all the safari pics you post! It was great learning more about you!
