A - B - C's of me.....

A good blogging friend (Sara) had a fun list on her blog a couple of days back. She does different lists there on a regular basis and I love to read them...but rarely do I complete them myself. I decided to give this one a try. If you find it fun to read it, maybe you will want to give it a try on your own blog soon. This has absolutely nothing to do with quilting....but it seemed like a fun thing to do....so here goes......

A - Age - 61

B - Bed size - twin (decided to be comfy in my old age...am not a restless sleeper but am a very "light" sleeper and never liked sharing a bed!!!)

C - Chore you hate - cleaning the toilets

D - Dog's name - Pepi

E - Essential "start your day" item - checking email and reading online newspapers, then blogs

F - Favorite color - blue (closely followed by green) OR green (closely followed by blue)!!!

G - Gold or silver? Silver

H - Height - about 5' 4"

I - Instruments you play - had learned accordion when young, and can play right hand (only) on piano keyboard

J - Job title - retired teacher and presently part-time medical transcriptionist

K - Kids - Tara and Tina

L - Living arrangements - house with hubby and dog near Delaware beaches

M - Mom's name - Dorothy

N - Nicknames - Pat (parents called me Patty...UGH)

O - Overnight hospital stays (except when giving birth) - a female surgery in 1971

P - Pet peeve - people who are not honest

Q - Quote from a movie - don't watch enough of them to HAVE a quote that sticks in my mind!

R - Right or left handed? Right

S - Siblings? two....both younger (sister and brother)

T - Time you wake up - 5:30 - 6:30 a.m. with no alarm and NOT because I wish to wake up that early

U - Underwear? What kind of question is this????? I like COMFY ones, of course! No Victoria's Secret stuff for me!

V - Vegetable you dislike - any of the cabbage family cooked (broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower) and ONIONS...hate onions (but like scallions...pretty weird, huh?) I"m a boring veggie person as I like tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, peas, carrots, and corn and very little else.

W - Workout style - uhhhhh....ummmmmm....walking and using a tiny stationery bike once in awhile

X - X-rays you've had - teeth, mammogram, female "stuff", wrist, bone density test (is that considered an x-ray? Probably not...)

Y - Yesterday's best moments - gosh, let me think...hard enough to recall current day.....hmmmm...reading a book I'd reserved at the library and eating local, fresh watermelon

Z - Zoo favorites - penguins, polar bears, monkeys/gorillas

Fun stuff Pat- May play the game yet when I get closer to school time and need to think about ABC's again ( VBG).
Loved the fabrics on your last post and certainly will go and visit Kim`s blog. I enjoy visiting her regularly.
Hope you are enjoying some terrific summer days.
Regards,
Anna
