Just A Wee Bit Of Me



Today, I've decided to participate in A Wee Bit of Me Wednesday over at Leigh Ashley's blog. So, if you'd like to play along, just head on over there and link up! OK, here goes nothing!

{One} What color is your kitchen? Well, my primary color is burgundy, but I have some hunter green and gold in it, as well. That's the same color combination I've used for several years, so when we get moved, I'd like to switch it up for a change.

{Two} Do you have a good luck charm? No, not anymore. Of course, when I was young, I used to carry around a pink rabbit's foot for good luck. I think it was "the thing" back then.

{Three} Do you prefer to write with a pen or a pencil? Quite honestly, I can't even tell you the last time I held a pencil in my hand. I always use a pen when writing in my journals, paying bills, or writing cards to my family and friends.

{Four} Can you use chopsticks? Boy, that's an easy one...NO! I've tried on many occasions, but I get so impatient that I just pick up the fork and start eating.

{Five} Do you prefer baths or showers? I'd have to say it depends. There are times when a hot shower feels really good, plus, if I'm in a hurry, I can jump in and out fairly quickly. However, there's a lot to be said for a long, hot bath, too! I really love taking a jacuzzi bath when my muscles are sore or I've yanked my neck out of whack. How does this luxury shower grab ya?

{Six} What is your favorite kind of dressing? I love Blue Cheese sprinkled with lots of black pepper.

{Seven} Can you sing the alphabet backwards? Are you kidding me? I do well just to say it the right way!

{Eight} Do you have any allergies? Yes, I have a tendency to get hay fever every year and I'm highly allergic to cats. They make my eyes itch and swell. Not a pretty sight!

{Nine} Crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Crunchy all the way!

{Ten} Have you ever hitch hiked? Nope...and I'm sure not going to start now! I think I've watched "Forensic Files" way too many times! I still remember what my mom always told me..."Never get in a car with a stranger." Smart words to live by, wouldn't you say?

Make it a great day!

Hitch hiking scares me!
I use pencils when I am working with Kaishon's math. And it drives me CRAZY.
Burgandy and green and gold remind me of the colors that every house I babysat for in the late 90's had : )

WOW! That bathroom is AMAZING! I had a very close friend a few years ago who ran a cabinet business with her husband. They actually renovated interiors of offices and homes, and one day, they had an open house at a luxury condo. This place was decked out, let me tell you. It was, after all, in Boca Raton. The bathroom was very similar to the one in your picture. I don't think I would ever leave the tub if I could enjoy Survivor and Dancing With the Stars while surrounded with bubbles!!! Oh, to be rich!

Hello April - it was nice visiting with you - I love the name of your blog but especially its byline - so true! and what is with this shower? - that is amazing! I am with you all the way on the chopsticks - it is always so cool to think I could eat with them but never have had the patience to do a whole meal!

I love to take showers, but I don't have one in my house so a bath it is. I do like to take one when I am at a hotel or over at a friends home,though.

THe pic of the one you posted looks awesome!

Kitty said...

Thanks for visiting! That shower looks very complicated!!

Kimberly said...

I have had crunch peanut butter in a long time. I am adding that to my grocery list!

Kim said...

I hadn't thought about it, but like you, I haven't written with a pencil in ages! I use a pen for everything, even when I work a crossword puzzle!

lynn said...

Yay for crunchy PB!!
Wow, that is some shower! Looks complicated :)

Jodi said...

Some of your answers cracked me up April! And, now I know why we get along so well. I love your color scheme in your kitchen! Wow, that shower looks amazing!

Rebecca Jo said...

Um... yeah.. I cant EVER get the chopstick thing down... & its embarassing when my 3 yr old grandson totally eats up with the chopsticks... not even joking!

MMMMM... blue cheese with lots of pepper. Makes a salad GOOD!

Hi April
I loved your beautiful pictures from Lake Murray. Thanks for sharing them.
I enjoyed reading your post today. I always like to learn more about you this way :) I always prefer a nice relaxing bath but that shower looks amazing, I would love to give it a try.
Hope your week is going well.

I try not to read too many of these random question posts because I don't want to accidentally borrow questions for the Hodgepodge : ) I love chopsticks! And baths...I could lay in a hot bath for hours. Smooth pb for me...I love peanuts, just not in my pb.

Paula said...

This was wonderful to learn some new things about you, April!
I can use chopsticks... to poke my eyes out with... *giggle*
I have seen too many of those forensics shows too... hubby says I'm addicted to them!

Cathy said...

It was nice getting to know you a little better and I have to say I would love to use that shower sometime! Wow!

Gina said...

That's what I call a shower. WOW...one can dream. Great blog love your pictures.

Beth in NC said...

Ha. Yes, I think we all had those silly rabbit foot charms. I had a white one. Poor little rabbit. It wasn't lucky for the rabbit was it?

That shower would be great, but I want some privacy when showering. I don't want clear doors. Ha.

Jodie said...

Funny story, I accidentally got crunchy peanut butter... oh my word... gave it to my mom! Just not the same as creamy!! :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday & thank you for visiting! :)

P.S. Your kids are darling. (yes, I am talking about your pets too!) ;)

I love posts like this! I can't even remember the last time I took a bath rather than a shower! And I'm with you on the hitch hiking. I used to have terrible allergies, but they've gone away now that I"m in the south! Go figure!

jules said...

I'm a creamy pb lover but now you have me thinking.....I might have to try crunchy again.

I love these "getting to know you" posts....

OMGosh...look at that shower/tub! I prefer showers but every once in a while I'll soak in our tub!

I've never been able to use chopsticks either. Forks are just so much easier!

I can't believe the people I still see trying to hitch hike! I would never in a million years do that nor pick one up..... too scary!
