ABC...XYZ

My friend Lindsay posted this and so did Michelle. I couldn't resist....

A - Age: 32

B - Bed Size: Queen. We had a king when we were first married, when we moved into a smaller home we had to get rid of it. THEN, we had children, not a smart move to get rid of the king after kids!

C - Chore You Hate: LAUNDRY! I really hate the folding and putting the clothes away. In fact that is what my evening entails...loads that need folded and put away.

D - Dad's Name: Rod

E - Essential Start Your Day Item: Coffee with vanilla creamer!

F - Favorite TV Show: none, at the moment we do not have TV, which is okay because we don't watch much of it anyway. I switched it all over to be "digitally ready" but we only get one Spanish version of ABC. I guess I will have to save up $ for a roof antenna.

G - Gold or Silver: Silver

H - Height: 5'7"

I - Instruments You Play(ed): I took piano lessons and horn instruments. I played the french horn in jr. high and switched to the trombone because my friend played it. When she moved away, I switched to the trumpet in high school because it was easier to pack back and forth. Two years ago, a man at our church helped me learn guitar. What a great guy, once a week he'd patiently sit and help a couple of us who wanted to learn.

J - Job Title: Mom, Wife, High School & Elementary Teacher

K - Kid(s): Mesa (5 1/2) & Mylie (2 3/4)

L - Living Arrangement: 4 bedroom house that we built a year ago on 7 acres. The four of us share it with 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 14 horses. It's 5 miles away from a very small town. We live in the middle of farm ground next to the BLM hills and are surrounded by wonderful neighbors & family.

M - Mom's Name: Patti.

N - Nicknames: Kels, honey, teacher, Mrs. Z, and of course Mommy, Mom, Mooooooom!

O - Overnight Hospital Stays Other Than Birth: nope.

P - Pet Peeve: Clutter that I can actually "see" in my house. Shoved in a drawer or cupboard--no problem!

Q - Quotes You Like: There are some I like, but I'm not really a quote kinda girl who can rattle them off on her blog without looking them up somewhere!

R - Right or Left-Handed: Right.

S - Siblings: None

T - Time You Wake Up: 6:30-6:45.

U - Ultimate Dessert: Jamocha Almond Fudge Ice Cream or Boston Cream Pie

V - Vegetable You Dislike: Maybe tomatoes, I'll eat them but I don't like them.

W - Ways You Run Late: Oh there is not enough room to tell all the ways I run late. I run late for everything!

X - X-rays You've Had: teeth & ankle

Y - Yummy Food You Make: according to my family...Mylie said I make "cheese" good, Mesa said, "my favorite new thing is carrots & broccoli," Matt couldn't think of anything, he stood there with a blank look when I asked him. I guess I don't make yummy food!

Z - Zoo Animal: zebras, tigers, & penguins
