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  ;)

I remember....

... when putting my shoes on before leaving the house didn't require me holding a baby in one hand and pointing Liam to the door with the other- purse, car seat AND diaper bag in tow.

... when I was a phone-talker.  

Not no mo'.

... when I had those crucial dancing skillzzz.

Sookie sookie now

... when all I had to worry about was homework, riding bikes after school, and what my mom was going to make for dinner.

... when I didn't know myself.

... when I thought being "cool" meant being like everyone else.

... when I thought that being really really skinny would make my really really happy.

... when I could have sworn my parents were out to get me.

... when I had more than 7 friends.

According to Facebook, I still have over 200 friends!!!!

... when I placed more emphasis on outer beauty than inner strength.

... when I realized that inner strength had a direct effect on my appearance.

... feeling alone almost my entire life, and hating it.

Alone time, now, can I please have some?

... the way my husbands hands felt on the day we got married.

... hearing both of my boys cry for the first time.

... the very moment I began to value myself.

Isn't life funny/ironic/beautiful/precious!?

Me and my little brother Michael, circa 1987/1988.  Miss you Mike  ;)
