I saw this over on BLD in Montana and I thought it would be fun to give it a go.
A=Age; 27
B=Bed size; Queen. We bought a new bed in Melbourne but it has really come time to replace the mattress - which bought off a family friend when we got married. A spring has sprung so to speak, so there is some competition over who has what side of the mattress. I seem to get it more often than not, as DH asserts he is considerably heavier than I so it digs into him more:)
C=Chore that you hate; vacuuming. Absurd, I know, but it always takes me so long.
D=Dogs; Two, small fluffy things.
E=Essential start to you day; a shower and clean hair! I am a little obsessive about the latter.
F= Favourite colour; Apple green
G=Gold or silver; Gold
H= Height; 168cm or 5 ft 6 in.
I=- Instruments you play; Piano and Euphonium; though since I haven't played the latter since I left school my competency is questionable.
J=Job title; Stay-at-home Mum.
K-Kids; one.
L=Live; Toowoomba, but very shortly that will be Darwin.
M=Mother's name; hmm, not really my information to share.
N=Nickname; None. My mum and dad utilised their combined (at the time) 40 odd years of teaching to come with a name that does not lend itself to being shortened. My mum always calls me Possum Magic (after the Mem Fox story) though.
O=Overnight hospital stays; one as a baby for plastic surgery after I cut my face open falling out of my parents bed (the plastic surgeon was one of my Dad's former students - Perth is a small place) and I had a few nights when Ginger was born.
P=Pet peeves; people making social arrangements (or discussing events that have occurred) in front of people they have no intention of inviting.
Q=Quotes from a film; goodness, I am not much of a film buff - but "Tell him his dreaming" from The Castle makes me laugh.
R=Right or left handed; Right.
S= Siblings; Only child.
T=Time you wake up; usually 6:15 - that is when Ginger stirs because DH turns on the shower. DH has usually been up for an hour or so getting some study done.
U=Underwear; Really? Lets find another 'U' word - university. I am very glad I went even if I am not using my knowledge at the moment.
V=Vegetable I hate: eggplant. I can tolerate it in Moussaka but nothing else.
W=What makes you run late; hmm, running 5 minutes early and thinking I can just squeeze in one more job before I go.
X=Xrays you've had; ankle (age 4), dental, pregnancy scans - I can't really think. Oh, I had one done on my foot when I fractured a bone at ballet.
Y=Yummy food that you make; lemon cake and molasses cookies. They are definitely favourites around here.
Z=Zoo animals; I love the orangutans. Ginger has never been to the zoo so we are planning a trip to Singapore Zoo when we go up to visit my in-laws in December.
"W" made me laugh. Lemon cake sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteBorrowing this list to re-use :).
Thank you for changing the U!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I loved learning about YOU!
ReplyDeleteYour reason for being late happens to me too!
ReplyDeleteI just learned I rather love eggplant this summer.
And I know, underwear?! Who chose that?! I suppose I am too by-the-rules as it never occurred to me to change it! I like university better. And I bet you are using knowledge gained at university even if your current job doesn't require a degree.
RE: your comment, I know exactly what you mean about not buying more books! Too bad about the libraries being so determinedly secular. You'll have to tell them to get rid of their classics - far too much faith going on in Dickens, Trollope, Dante, Defoe, etc. What about the minds that might be secretly influenced! :-P. Our library has a fair number of Christian books, but often not the particular one I'm looking for.
ReplyDeleteThe Bonhoeffer biography was a gift from my parents to Carl while he was deployed and it's an addiction slowly making its way through the whole family - she couldn't put it down, then he devoured it, then he sent a copy to his Dad, and now I've been going through in bits and pieces since August. It's always fun to watch a book's trail as it passes from person to person.
