MY ABC's

My good buddy, Tim, had this list on his blog the other day, so I thought I'd give it a try, too!
I have so much to accomplish today with us leaving around noon tomorrow! I figured I'd take the easy road out and give my aging brain a bit of a rest!

A -Age: 44 (can you believe I owned up to it?)
B -Bed size: Queen
C -Chore you hate: Cleaning out the shower
D -Donuts or Kolaches: Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed donuts!
E -Essential start your day item: Exercise
F -Favorite color: Razorback RED!
G -Gold or Silver: Gold
H -Height: 4'11"...but, on a really good day, I'm 5 ft! LOL!
I -Instruments you play: Does Guitar Hero count?
J -Jokes or Ryhms: Jokes
K -Kids:2 on earth; 2 in Heaven
L -Living arrangements: Own single family home
M -Movie: Latest one "Taken"; older one, "Steel Magnolias"
N -Nicknames: In high school, it was "Ape"; Chris calls me "my sweetheart"
O-Overnight hospital stays: When I gave birth to Brittany and Abby
P -Pet Peeve: People who talk on their cell phones in check out lines!
Q -Quote you like:"Dream big!"
R -Right or left handed: Right
S -Siblings: 1 brother; 1 brother is deceased
T -Time you wake up: 6:30 AM
U -Underwear: YES! :)
V -Vegetable you dislike: Green peas!
W -Ways you run late: Waiting for Brittany to fix her hair and finish her makeup!
X -X-rays you've had: Chest, foot, dental, and mammograms. I've had CT scans to check on my bilateral kidney stones...that STILL have not passed and are growing daily! One was 7mm and that was a year ago! Makes me so nervous to think about it!
Y -Yummy food you make: Spaghetti, pot roast, taco casserole
Z -Zodiac sign: Leo
I'm off to the park for a walk or run...it is so hot here! Big hugs from me to you!

Let me know if you would like me to mail the plans to you. You could make a copy (if you like the layout) and mail the original back to me. I would be happy to do this.

Hi April
I dislike green peas too! I can't even stand the smell of the water they are boiled in. In England people have fried fish and chips and mushy peas. Musy peas look disgusting all green and mushy and yuk!
Have a great time in Florida.

What did you think about Taken? I thought it was SO gripping. I get nervous when I even think about it. SO scary!

Hope your weekend is full of wonderfulness : ) even though it is blazing hot!

Aubs said...

Denise said...

I enjoyed this.

Paula said...

Ooooh- this was so much fun learning new stuff about you, April!
I'm with you on cleaning the shower... UGH!!
I just have to know though... how did you get the name "APE"? LOL

Daphine said...

This was great! Nickname...Ape??? Hmmm....I don't think I would have liked that nickname.
Dream Big is one of my favorite quotes too!

I liked reading this! Thanks for sharing!

Christina said...

OMGosh!! Taken was soooo good, wasn't it!!

Aubrey said...

This was a good one! I may have to "borrow" it on one of my bloggy blah days! LOL

Have a fun trip!

Beth in NC said...

Ha, cute. I got stumped on your nickname "Ape" because 1) it is 11:49pm and I wasn't thinking, but 2) I thought -- WHY WOULD SOMEONE CALL HER THAT?!?! SHE IS SO TINY AND SWEET -- not a big like an Ape. Ha! Took me a second to connect April - Ape. Sheesh.

Tim said...

Underwear yes. That was hilarious! I thought that this was a great way to give people the opportunity to learn more about us and it really is. Someone tagged me to do it and I normally dont do tags, but thought this one was worth it. Enjoyed your ABC's just as everything else you do.

Love and Prayers,

Tim

I would never have guessed that you were 44. You look way younger!

I don't mind so much that people talk on their cells while in a check out line. I do however don't like it when people talk on them in a restaurant. I find it really rude. My parents wouldn't answer the phone if it rung while we were at the dinner table. Funny how those things stick with you.
