The A-Z of LLL

There's a new meme floating around the internet so I thought I'd join in on the fun.  Here goes nothing!

A. Age:  32

B. Bed size: King

C. Chore that you hate: Cleaning toilets--and I'm not talking about a cursory brush around the bowl, I'm talking deep-cleaning, on your hands-and-knees, scrubbing everything.  Blech.

D. Dogs: I like dogs, especially ones that belong to other people.  Cats are where it's at as far as I'm concerned (at least until Captain Husband retires and can take care of a dog all by himself.)

E. Essential start to your day: Caffeine.  Loads of it.

F. Favorite color: Turquoise/teal

G. Gold or Silver: Silver

H. Height:5'10 1/2" (yes, the 1/2" makes all the difference)

I. Instruments you play: Trombone, although it's been years.  I also taught myself to play the piano way back when but all I can manage now is some chopsticks and heart and soul.

J. Job title: Historian, wife, mother and sometimes photographer.

K. Kids: One human baby, Sammy, and one fur baby, Sandy Cat.

L. Live: The west Texas town of El Paso

M. Mother’s name: Carolyn

N. Nicknames: Lulu, Lulubell

O. Overnight hospital stays: See one human baby, Sammy

P. Pet peeves: When Captain Husband doesn't replace the empty toilet paper roll and/or hangs it the "wrong" way.

Q. Quote from a movie: "60% of the time, it works every time."

R. Right or left handed: Right, but sometimes I forget and try to write/eat with my left and wind up confusing myself.

S. Siblings: Two younger brothers (here and here), both of whom need to blog more often.  Hint, hint.

T. Time you wake up: My one human baby also functions as an alarm clock; he usually goes off between 8 am and 9 am, so I can't really complain.

U. Underwear: Most definitely.

V. Vegetable you hate: Cooked beets...the texture...ugh.

W. What makes you run late: These days it's a toss-up between the husband and the kid.

X. X-Rays you’ve had: Full-body scan, hands, feet, teeth, arm, shins...I don't think I got an x-ray when I broke my nose, but I honestly can't remember.  (I may be a little bit accident prone.)

Y. Yummy food that you make: I generally prefer baking to cooking, but I got rave reviews from CH and Sammy when I made this crockpot barbecue chicken.

Z. Zoo animal: Lions and tigers and [sloth] bears, oh my!
