I swear I am not doing NaBloPoMo. Um, at least I think I am not. Whoa. I believe I have posted every day thus far, but I have no intentions of truckin' on through November. Trust me.
Anyway, Jackie at Nursing Your Kids did a fun meme and I have not done a meme for so long now. It looked delicious enough to feed my hungry ego.
Let me know in the comments if you decide to do this as well.
A is for age: I turned 37 in April. Seriously, at this point, I have to do the math (2008-1971 = 37) My age? Is of so little importance to me. As long as I am alive, not too wrinkly or creaky, and still changing diapers and not wearing them, that is all with which I am mostly concerned. Keep in mind that in 2006 I had ADDED an entire year to my age and was telling my doctor that I was at an ADVANCED MATERNAL AGE during my pregnancy and needed Special Attention because I had lost track of the years. Like, I did not even care (and was stupid with math and all that. WHATEVER.)
B is for burger of choice: Honestly? A McDonald's cheeseburger, no ketchup. Small and simple. Sue me.
C is for the car I drive: I drive a 2005 Acura, which I still worship and tithe to on a monthly basis with no regrets. Furthermore, when the Monthly Tithing Doth Be Done, its perceived value to me will rise even further. I HATE car payments as they cause me physical pain.
D is for your dog’s name: George W. Bush. Oops, you said DOG. Sorry 'bout that.
E is for essential item you use every day: My Treo. It is my phone and my port to checking my email. Enough said.
F is for favorite TV show at the moment: Since Mad Men has ended and the new Antiques Roadshow season has yet to begin, I will have to say 30 Rock instead.
G is for favorite game: Holy Crap. Only ONE game? My mind is flooded with Trivial Pursuit, Wit's End, Canasta, Cribbage, Euchre, Backgammon, Apples to Apples, Spit and Russian Bank. I can hardly think straight. Really, I have to choose just one? ONE? Really?
H is for home state: Kansas. And damned proud of it. And no, Jesus did not ride a dinosaur across the plains, y'all.
I is for instruments you play: Piano, the piccolo, the vibes, the flute. On a lesser scale, the triangle, the bells, the conga.
J is for favorite juice: OMG, limeade. LIMEADE.
K is for whose bum you’d like to kick: My own ass, for a variety of reasons.
L is for last restaurant at which you ate: la Hacienda
M is for your favorite Muppet: Miss Piggy
N is for number of piercings: 4 - all in the ears. DUDE. Did you see the line about my age? Am old. In my day, having TWO piercings in the ear was total Rebel Without a Cause. We risked paralysis with multiple piercings in the ear. Did you not know??
O is for overnight hospital stays: 4 nights total for the birthin' of babies.
P is for people you were with today: Today? X, Arun, Anjali, Chocolate Covered Susan, her two kids, my dad, step-mom, youngest sister and my brother.
Q is for what you do with your quiet time: Read blogs, eat sunflower seeds, read books and enjoy the lovely hum of my refrigerator
R is for biggest regret: Not going to work for Ernst and Young at the first go-around. My career path would have been remarkably different if I had gone to work for them a few years before I eventually did end up working for them.
S is for status: Ready to hit "publish".
T is for time you woke up today:8:45am
U is for what you consider unique about yourself: I think folks would be surprised at all the people I have met from other countries over the years. I went to a university that had an active international community and frankly, I relished and flourished in it. I held a chair in the International Students Association and folks would always say "why do you belong to that group, you're not foreign!?" and I would answer "because it is an INTERNATIONAL group, which includes the United States". I love small talk and I love meeting new folks.
V is for vegetable you love: Roasted cauliflower in garlic and olive oil
W is for worst habit: I nag my husband WAY too much and I am way too picky about inconsequential things.
X is for x-rays you’ve had: Dental x-rays
Y is for yummy food you ate today: Sunflower Seeds, Root Beer Float
Z is for zodiac: Aries

when I was in the military the nutritionist would come and give us mandatory training. And she said one cup of sunflower seeds is equal to one cup of fat. lol... thats all I remember from her training. People in the military eat A LOT of sunflower seeds!
Well, obviously, I didn't rush to do this meme, but I did finally get around to it! Thanks for the lead!
