What can I say? I’m lazy and this was easy. ;o)
Age: 40
Bed size: Queen (want a King – but it would take up the entire floor space in our bedroom)
Chore you hate: laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, changing sheets – ok, really, I *suck* as a “housewife”
Dogs: No thanks, I have enough “things” dependent on me right now.
Essential start of your day: coffee
Fav colour: green
Gold or silver: platinum/white gold/silver
Height: 5’3″
Instruments I play: piano – but I lack rhythm, so I’m horrible
Job title: mom, wife, maid, cook, coach, laundress, executive assistant, oh, and I used to be a librarian
Kids: two – Jones, age 9, Shoo, age 5 – they are 4 years and 21 days apart.
Live: Metro DC area
Mom’s name: Mary
Nicknames: none
Overnight hospital stays: two foot surgeries and Jones’ birth (not Shoo’s, Woohoo!)
Pet peeve: people who think their choice/answer is the best (or, even worse, the only) choice for everyone
Quote from a movie: Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)
Right or left handed: right, but nearly ambidextrous
Siblings: 1 brother, 1 sister
Time you wake up: whenever I’m forced to get up, not a moment earlier.
Underwear: yes
Veg you dislike: beets
What makes you run late: my children – I was always early before kids, always on time once Jones came along, and barely on time/up to five minutes late with Shoo (I can’t stand to be any later than that)
X-rays you have had done: toes, teeth
Yummy food you make: soup
Zoo, favorite animal: I’m fascinated by the big cats
Thanks for all the thoughts on my mental issues with running. I decided 5 days a week is enough running days and took today off to drink barleywine. It’s a good compromise. ;o)
I like your wake-up time. 🙂
i'm keen on coffee in the morning too. 🙂
We have A LOT in common!I know I HAVE to suck worse than you in the housewife department. I simply refuse to do chores and our house is a wreck!I wanted to be a librarian for many many years. I <3 books so much!Have a great weekend 🙂
FBDO is one of my favorite movies and has been for years!
Yup: "whenever I'm forced to get up, not a moment earlier."
Fun idea for a post – may have to borrow it at some point! Enjoy the barleywine!
Drink some for me. I love this list… getting to know you is fun!
I love that I'm not the only domestically-challenged woman out there!
we're obviously sisters, separated at birth ~ what can I say? mom's name is Mary, coffee, green, (coffee), want King size bed, (coffee)… and above all else, chores are not my, ah, strong suit. At least, here ~ wait!~ I see a silver lining, with the boot, ah, yea, it's the reason I can't get anything done…
i've read about 7 of these today, i love it!!!
What a fun way to get to know you better! I'm glad someone out there doesn't like to do laundry. I don't mind putting it into the washing machine. Everything afterwards…not so great.
I hate beets too! And I'm 5'3"!!
I am beginning to think you are a beer poser!:-)Kidding!You have to remember that for beer dorks like me you just can't say you had a Barleywine – I need to know the brewery too!Hope it was good.
i know, these random posts are fun and easy. sometimes i just need to be told what to write 😉 very fun!
