I don't think I've done this one yet...
A. Age: Ummmm.... 50 (eeeekkk...)
B. Bed size: Queen.
C. Chore you dislike: Washing the floor. Love it when it's done, but I always procrastinate on doing it.
D. Dogs: None. I briefly had a mutt named Honey when I was a preschooler. She went to live on my grandparents' farm & was run over by a car. :(
E. Essential start to your day: A bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar & cinnamon, & a cup of tea.
F. Favorite color: Blue.
G. Gold or silver: Ummm... can I have both?? ; )
H. Height: Just under 5'5"
I. Instruments you play(ed): Piano & alto saxophone.
J. Job title: Assistant Manager, Executive Communications
K. Kids: None living, one stillborn.
L. Live: near Toronto
M. Mom’s name: Donna
N. Nicknames: don't really have any (that I'm going to repeat, anyway, lol)
O. Overnight hospital stays: aside from when I lost Katie, several when I was in elementary school, for tests to monitor my bladder/ureter/kidney condition. Thankfully, I eventually outgrew it. After losing Katie, I learned there is a high co-relation between kidney problems & uterine abnormalities. I often wonder whether they could tell that I had a uterine malformation as a child.
P. Pet peeves: People who talk on their cellphones on public transit, in restaurants, etc., as if they're in their living room. :p
Q. Quote from a movie: Casablanca is probably my favourite movie of all time -- it has a fabulous script, chock full of memorable lines. Among my favourites:
Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.
and
Major Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick: I'm a drunkard.
Captain Renault: That makes Rick a citizen of the world.
R. Righty or lefty: Righty.
S. Siblings: Younger sister.
T. Time you wake up: 5 a.m. :p
U. Underwear: Yes??
V. Vegetables you don’t like: Mushrooms & peppers. I LOVE tomatos, but unfortunately can't eat them anymore. :(
W.What makes you run late: Underestimating the amount of time I will need.
X. X-rays you’ve had: pelvis, skull, teeth.
Y. Yummy food you make: cookies, although I don't make them often these days. And I am an excellent popcorn maker (following in my dad's footsteps...!). : )
Z. Zoo animal favorites: penguins! I also stood in line for an hour to see a pair of visiting panda bears once.
Now it is YOUR turn.... let me know if you do this one & I'll come visit!
This was so fun Loribeth! I really enjoyed reading your answers (espeically letters E, N, O, Q, W, Y & Z) and learned lots of new and intersting things about you.:)
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you were going to have to come up with something for each letter on your own. It seems less daunting with a prompt for each one. Maybe I will try it?! I will let you know if I do. ;)
I love this! And we share a passion for penguins :-)
ReplyDeleteMe Likey!! I will borrow this when its a slow blog day soon!!
ReplyDeleteFun! I love Casablanca too. It's up there with "Princess Bride" as the most quotable movie in my book.
ReplyDelete"You despise me, don't you?"
"If I gave you any thought I probably would."
I'm going to do my own ABCs later in the day. Thanks for the great idea :)
Meme has been completed. Thanks for sharing it, I had fun :)
ReplyDeleteI did it! That was fun!
ReplyDeletea - Is it wrong that I can't wait for 50? I'm thinking I'd kick 50's butt (and I only have 9 years to wait *g*).
ReplyDeletec - you're supposed to wash them too?
Re-reading your list I feel like a bit of a dork, you quote Casablanca and mine are Planes, Trains and Automobiles and So I Married an Ax Murderer! Sooo deep (and I totally oooh'd at the mention of Princess Bride above...but that's really one of my favorite books *g*)
Thanks for posting this.
Loved reading this Loribeth! Sometimes, memes are a lovely little escape aren't they? Anyway, I loved reading it so much that I just indulged and did it myself!
ReplyDeleteFun! I can always count on you to kickstart my blogging. Just did this over at my place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing more bits of you.
I am going to do this! :)
