The ABC Rundown

Age: 29 and rapidly approaching 30!  I may be the only woman alive who is fully ready to embrace thirtyhood.

Bed size: Queen. Obviously, I'd like a King-sized bed, but mainly for my poor hub who I corner to the edge of the bed every night.  A girl's gotta spread out during her beauty rest.

Chores you hate: Sweeping and Mopping.  I do a mean vacuum-job, but I literally refuse to acknowledge a mop's existence.  And yes, I did just say "vacuum-job," and considered being inappropriate for just a sec.

Dogs: Such amazing creatures.  Our doggie Riley Roo is such a mommy-dog to our boys.

Essential start to your day: Coffee.  Is there anything else?

Favorite color: Any shade of orange, followed closely by purple.  And the combo of the two... SHUT UP!

Gold or silver: I have switched back to wearing a lot of silver, but I think gold is SO much more feminine than silver.  Or maybe that's just how it makes me  feel.  Luxurious.

Height: 5feet7inches, and in my family, I'm the short one.  I'm pretty sure I was meant to be about 5'10" though with my feet at about a size 10.5.  Yay coffee and cigarette use in my youth!
Instruments you play: The kazoo.  Okay, maybe not.  I am a phenomenal guitarist and bassist on Rock Band!!!  Also, I played the handbells in a bell choir when I was in the 4th and 5th grades.  Impressed?

Job title: I work full-time as an Account Representative at a university.  Try not to be jealous on this one.

Kids: We have 2, as I am sure I have mentioned once or twice before.  Both are boys.  There is a miniscule possibility of having a third, and if we don't, we will adopt.  And then that's it, damn it!  No more!!!
 

Liam's got a way about him...

Live: In the Lovers State.

Mother's name: Karen.  Bless her.

Nicknames: Currently, "Meg."  And Mom.  I suppose that's more of a title though.  My hub calls me "Kitty," which I love.  Some others from the course of my history: Meggers, Megsy, PegLegMeg (funny story!), NutMeg, Megalicious, Megasaurus, SirMegsALot, Gonzo, Sugala.

Overnight hospital stays: See "Kids."

Pet peeves: This requires a "list format"

• People who CHEW really loud, especially when we're having a conversation (in person or on phone); unfinished work; 
• People who don't use their blinkers (you know, those little flashing lights that let me know when you're about to cut me off!!); 
• Rudeness; passive-aggressiveness; laziness (all oddly related to the non-use of blinkers!); 
• The skateboarders in my neighborhood; 
• Too-tight jeans; 
• Spending an hour on my hair only to walk outside into a humid-hell; 

I could really go on and on, but I'll stop for the sake of my blood pressure.

Quote from a movie or show: I'm into funny movies:

Due Date

Peter Highman: "Number 2: if you're allergic to waffles, don't eat waffles!"
Ethan Tremblay: "Then don't take me to a waffle house!"

 Hilarious.

 Righty or lefty: Both, but I work predominantly with my right hand.

Siblings: Mike and Melissa- both are younger than me, both are incredible people in their own regard.  I don't see Mike often enough as we live 2 states away from each other.  I haven't seen my sister in 5 years.  I miss them both.

Time you wake up: HA!!!  As early as 4:00 a.m. and no later than 5:30 a.m.  This is why I  get a free (daily) pass to act insane.

Underwear: Um, no comment.

Vegetable you hate: I like nearly all veggies except for peas or beans (lima, kidney).  And because I'm a freak of nature, I hate mashed potatoes.  I like hate hate them.

What makes you run late: Children.  Slow drivers in the fast lane (ooo, another pet peeve!).  Forgetting something at home.  Trying on every piece of clothing I have before settling on the first thing I tried on (aka- every morning).

X-rays you've had: Just for dental work.

Yummy food you make: I love to cook, and my hub tells me that he loves everything I make.  But my specialties are Chicken Tortilla Soup, Spaghetti, Shrimp and Herb Pasta, Eggs, Salads (any and all kinds).

Zoo animal: Sad face.

Well, this was fun and took up some time!  Thanks for sharing, Lauren!  Yours was fun to read!  We should have linked these up!  Next time  ;)

Date Night Spectac-you-lar

As previously mentioned, this weekend was destined for magnificence.  I had lunch with Miss Melissa (one-of-a-kind lady), and watched the Raven's play, face off against, lose to the Steelers (grummmmmmbleeee!!!).  After watching the massacre, I put on my big girl boots and Brenny and I went out for a much needed romantic night together. 

Obviously, this was the highlight of our weekend.  We sat at the bar for a few drinks before getting a private table, and spent the rest of the evening laughing, eating, kissing and... well, enjoying each others attention. 

Without further ado, these are just a few ton of photos that capture [or at least come close to capturing] the friendship and infatuation that Bren and I continue to maintain.  

I love this man to pieces!!



looovahhhs

End of the night

Woke up at 8:00......  stayed in bed til 10:00.  Went to get brunch and coffee.  And then Bren went skeet shooting while Liam napped over Mimi and Happy's house.  

(Mimi and Happy are Bren's parents, and yes, Liam came up with those names and has NOT let go of them).  

So, while the boys were away, I had the afternoon in to me, myself and I!!!  :)

This Weekend: Perfection

Let alone the extra day off in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., this weekend is filled with so many people and things that I love and cherish:

2010- Melissa and me

Melissa is a dear friend of mine.  She and I have been connected since we were 12-year-old pubescent pre-teens.  Let's just say we have some hilarious memories, as well as some heavy yet priceless experiences that would not have been possible without each other.  She helped shape me, just as most people who I have crossed paths with have.  Anyway, enough poo-poo stuff.  We're having lunch together on Sat., our little boys in tow.  I can't wait to see her (even though she's, dare I say it, a STEELERS FAN!)

Battle of the Beltway, yo

Another thing I am looking forward to this weekend:  PLAYOFF FOOTBALL!!!  I have not blogged at all about my obsession with professional football, and more specifically, The Baltimore Raven's.  My boys play against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sat., and this game couldn't carry anymore weight (literally... har har).  I'm also looking forward to watching the Packers and Falcons duke it out.  Good games all around!   Brendon is a Redskins fan, and consequently, I have adopted them as my second NFL team.  God forbid there's ever a Raven's/Redskins match-up that matters...

Sweethearts

And, the cherry on top of an already delicious cake?  Date night with my hub!  These nights are so  rare that when we are given the chance to enjoy each others company exclusively, it means so much to me.  Now the BIG question is what to wear, what to wear!  Bren tells me all.the.time how beautiful he thinks I am (ahem- sure sign of an amazing man), but I want to look dy-no-mite for him!  We'll see what I come up with, and maybe I'll do a follow-up outfit/date night post next week.  Keyword:  Maybe  ;)

The 3 best friends that anyone could have

If nothing else, I have an extra day on Monday to spend with the loves of my life, Bren and Liam.  How could I not be thankful!?

Happy long weekend!  Smile!

Oh, and GOOOOO RAVENS!  Ca-Cawwww!
