So I give you, my ABC's (when you sing you begin with Doe Re Me):
Age: 30. Smirty.
Bedsize: King. I like space between Matt and I. I also need a lot of room for all those pillows I require. Although this hasn't happened recently, we used to sometimes have a little person sleeping in between us. The king size was clutch at such times as that.
Chores that you hate: Folding laundry. Putting it in there no problem. Folding it? Ugh. The kids mess up my piles and Matt always has shirts and shorts inside-out. Guess they don't call it a chore for nothing.
Dogs: No more. Although Letty still thinks we have a dog living in our basement...
Essential start to your day: Coffee. K-cup of the Vanilla Biscotti variety. Most likely before I even get breakfast for my kids.
Favorite color: Blue blue always blue.
Gold or Silver: Gold. White gold.
Height: 5 feet 6 inches.
Instruments you play: I am a drummer. Matt and I had a band. Rock Band. We used to play to sold out shows every night in our basement. I fancy myself very good. In actual life I never took to the piano, no matter how much it meant to my mom. I am a bad daughter and this was a stupid move. I would love to know how to play today though if that counts for anything.
Job title: I have no job. There I said it.
Kids: We have two. You know this. They kinda play a big role here.
Live: Central PA.
Mother's Name: Janet.
Nicknames: Laur. Matt sometimes calls me Nana. Which is weird because I am not a grandmother. But I call him Nana too. Which is weird as well because he is neither a grandmother nor a woman... So... This is awkward.
Overnight hospital stays: Three. A car accident and two babies. The car accident involved a fifth grade girl riding a bicycle and getting run over by a woman driving an automobile. In this scenario I play the part of the fifth grade girl.
I chose to include the above photo for several reasons. One, I am wearing a cast on my left leg as a result of the accident, although I have strategically placed Beth in front of it, apparently by force. Two, matching 80's shirts. And three, awkward family photo.
Pet peeves: I have so many. I suppose late people are the worst. Just plan ahead. You know how long it takes you to get ready. Other than traffic or something like that out of your control there are no excuses. Play like a champion.
Quote from a movie or tv show: This is probably the hardest question for me to answer. I quote movies constantly. If you are perceptive you might have already caught one or two in this post.
Right or Lefty: Righty.
Siblings: Older brother. Younger brother. Younger sister. They are going to love me for the picture above. LOVE ME. And I have lots of in-laws if you count that sort of thing.
Time you wake up: These kids rule the roost. If we are lucky it's 7:00 am. Like today for example it was 6:15 am. You just never know what you're gonna get. (Box of chocolate?)
Underwear: Big ones. Built for comfort. Yes I am aware. That's disgusting.
Vegetable you hate: Anything green.
What makes you run late: I am NEVER late. If I am late then I am dead. See P.
X-Rays You've Had: Leg. Arm. Head. See O. The accident left me with a broken hip, ankle and shoulder all on my left side. Great first impressions going to your new school in a wheel chair I'll tell you.
Yummy food you make: Mac and Cheese. Thin Pancakes that are an old family recipe of sorts. Matt would say meatloaf but ew. Meat is not meant to be in a loaf form.
Zoo Animal: Dolphins. There are dolphins at zoos right?
Thanks for tuning in for this incredibly fascinating post! My apologies to my siblings. Oh and Zack Morris called. He wants his shirt(s) back.
