A little self-indulgence

I love reading about the people who's blogs I read. I recognize that I have like four readers and that two of you know me in person already, but I'm going to indulge myself and pretend like there are people out there wondering about me and my life. Makes me feel like a real blogger.

A. Age: 29. I turn 30 in April and I am not even really panicking about it at all. 
B. Bed size: Queen. I'd be fine with a full, to be honest. I'm one of THOSE people. I like to be all up in Eric's business when we sleep. I chase him off the bed, pretty much. 
C. Chore you hate: Folding the girls' clothes. So many tiny socks. Ugh.
D. Dogs: We had one, once. For about a month. It ate everything. My clothes. Shoes. Door frames. My wedding bouquet. He's gone now. I'm only mildly disappointed. The truth is, we didn't have the time and it wasn't fair to him to be alone so many hours of the day and not get the exercise he needed. Poor puppy. 
E. Essential start to your day: I don't really have any thing essential outside of the ordinary. 
F. Favorite color: Today? A green with just a hint of blue. I bought a cardigan at Target in this color and am loving it.
G. Gold or Silver: Silver
H. Height: 5'7"
I. Instruments you play: I played the flute in grade school. I was... not good at it.
J. Job Title: Receptionist
K. Kids: 2 little ladies. Eva is 3, will turn four already in July and THAT makes me panicky. Audrey will be 2 in May. 
L. Live: On the East Side. I'm from a little town in Illinois, east of St. Louis but still in the Metro area, I guess. 
M. Married: April 19, 2008.
N. Nicknames: I don't have any.
O. Overnight hospital stays: Just with the ladies. Two nights with Eva and one with Audrey. But, then there were four more with Audrey, but I wasn't admitted. I just refused to leave her. 
P. Pet peeve: Poor grammar. Bad manners. People who scuffle their feet. Mullets. Leggings as pants under inappropriate tops. Tardiness. I could go on and on. I'm crabby. 
Q. Quote: I don't really have a favorite that I can think of right now. And I'm not feeling clever enough to come up with something original.
R. Righty or Lefty:  Righty.
S. Siblings: 2 sisters. Both are older and both are pretty damn delightful. 
T. Time you wake up:  Prior to this year? 5:10 a.m. but the new goal (which, I recognize I'm a few days late on) will be 4:30 or so for some friendly time with my elliptical or a video of some variety.
U. University attended:  Pfft. College is for kids who don't have a deadbeat boyfriend to support, right? I dropped out of SWIC (a local college) after about a semester because my boyfriend was a piece and I felt a lot of pressure to work so I could support both of us. Yay for great life choices.
V. Vegetables you dislike: Green beans. Peas. Brussel sprouts (though I've had them cooked right ONCE and loved them.)
W. What makes you run late: I'm rarely late. It makes me twitchy. But, on occasion, something will happen with the girlies and that will put me behind a bit.
X. X-rays you've had: Ultrasounds. Teeth. Um. My back when they were worried I had some kind of autoimmune thing. My leg when I was in a car accident while in high school. I think that's it? 
Y. Yummy food: Almost all food is yummy. This is why I need to lose about fifty pounds.
Z. Zoo animal favorite: OH! I love the zoo. St. Louis has probably the best zoo in the country, I think. I went to the San Diego zoo and I was not that impressed. They have Pandas, which are my favorite, so they win in that category, but... Man. So, Pandas. And Red Pandas. I love me some Red Pandas.

    Z. Zoo animal favorite: I am not a Zoo fan. Maybe it's just bad experiences. I enjoyed the Penguins. I can't recall much else. Now In the Everglades in Florida they had an albino alligator that was the coolest thing I've ever seen! It's also one of the few childhood memories I have of my dad actually spending time with me... so it stuck with me. Whoa... that got weird fast haha
