getting to know you

{I saw this little getting to know you piece on Our Transatlantic Love and thought to myself, ooh, what a nice way to ease back into blogging as I ease back into life after la grippe. Indulge me please}

Age: thirty-something.
Bedsize: queen.
Chores that you hate: making the bed (but I hate not having the bed made more, so I suffer through).
Dogs: Fifty (and in case you are new here, no, I do not have 50 dogs, I have one, named Fifty, but he kinda smells like I have 50 dogs).
Essential start to your day: it used to be coffee, coffee, and more coffee, but now that I’ve been cutting that out of my life, it’s hot water & lemon (Isn’t that the saddest thing you’ve ever heard? But, my skin does look all glowy).
Favorite color: apple green .
Gold or Silver:  I love gold but it looks horrendous with my skin tone, but rose gold doesn’t, so rose gold.
Height: taller than 5’7” but not quite 5’8”.
Instruments you play: the radio, but I do regret quitting the piano. I really, really do.
Job title: Well The Husband refers to me as, the chef, but I know that he is actually trying to say, the chief, so I guess that makes me, the boss.
Kids: see Dogs above.
Live: The L.P.V. (insert gang sign here).
Mother’s Name: The one we call Eilo (that’s not her real name, but it’s what I call her).
Nicknames: Skippy.
Overnight hospital stays: yes.
Pet peeves:  Rude people.
Quote from a movie or tv show: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it – Ferris Bueller.
Right or Lefty:  Righty.
Siblings: yes.
Time you wake up: early (have you seen what time my blog posts?)
Underwear: usually, yes. 
Vegetable you hate: cooked carrots. I love them raw but once they are cooked, I’m like, ugh.
What makes you run late: I don’t do late.
X-Rays You’ve Had: too many to count.
Yummy food you make: since everything I make is yummy (tis true), I’ll just say what I made last night and be done with it, spinach risotto, and it was scrumptious.
Zoo Animal: giraffes.

  1. Hahaha, insert gang sign hereDoes the LPV know you're throwing their signs all over the internet? And you DO wake up early. I notice these things in emails. Because I'm weird. Ferris Bueller is the best. Have you seen the new commercial by honda that's basically a spoof of the movie? Pretty sweet. Although… it could be old for all I know. Being in Europe hasn't exactly kept me up to date on commercials. lol

  13. How about sharing that risotto recipe? Sounds yummy. Did not realize that being hours away from Starbucks had caused you to completely give up coffee – horrors! How about tea?

  16. Funny post. Am in total agreement on the carrots (as are many others…you must attract cooked-carrot haters) and also agree with Mem on the cooked peas. My the husband doesn't understand. I have always noticed your early posting as I wake up early too and look at Twitter. The early bird catches the worm 🙂

  21. Oh the wisdom of Ferris Bueller. One time, I made it a point to memorize that ridiculous line… “My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid whose going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night… I guess it's pretty serious” and (clearly) never forgot it.Totally may copy cat this.

  24. i'm kind of the boss too. it's pretty awesome. this was very fun to read. i got a pedicure today, and we started talking about age, one of the nail techs was like, “i'm SO OLD.” she was in her late 20s. i said, “i'm 33!” and they all looked freaked out, like people over 30 should be shot or something…
