I was tagged in the FB notes

[jenmcd]

I was tagged in a Facebook note recently, but because I don't have the time to figure out how to do notes and tagging, I'm putting the darn thing here. At least here I can just use plain ol' HTML, and it all goes in one place.

ABCs of Me

1. Age: 29, again. Again. Again, again, again.
2. Bed Size: King
3. Chore you hate: Washing dishes and cleaning the bathroom
4. Dog's name: Alina! The name was chosen because of the meaning. Most definitions mean noble or kind, but the one that caused us to select the name was “alien.”
5. Essential start your day item: snuggles followed closely by coffee
6. Favorite color(s): if it’s not pink or yellow, then it’s probably my favorite.
7. Gold or Silver: silver or white gold
8. Height: 6' 1”-ish. A long time ago I stood a full inch taller. I have shrunk in my old age.
9. Instruments you play: define play. I “play” violin, viola, cello, bass guitar, and I can pluck out a few simple tunes on the piano. Play well…? I can play dead.
10. Job title: “IT Goddess” according to my boss. My pay slip says “Microsystems Analyst.”
11. Kids: one awesome son.
12. Living arrangements: I have a house, a husband, the aforementioned son and dog, and three bratty cats.
13. Mom's name: Mary
14. Nicknames: Jen, Jenners
15. Overnight hospital stay other than birth: With Mack, for his three surgeries plus one time when he spent a week in the hospital for pneumonia. The only *I* stayed in the hospital overnight was after I had Mack, and I was in for four days courtesy of a c-section.
16. Pet Peeve: Idiot drivers that think they own the road and therefore won’t use turn signals or yield when they are supposed to.
17. Quote from a movie: "Have fun stormin’ the castle!"
18. Right or left handed: Right
19. Siblings: three - a sister, a half-brother, and a half-sister. I don’t usually refer to the half-sibs as halfs, though. They’re just my bub and sister.
20. Time you wake up: As late as I can - I HATE getting up in the morning.
21. Underwear: Yep, granny panties most of the time. They don’t crawl and creep.
22. Vegetable you dislike: Brussels sprouts. Nastiest damn things EVAR! Besides, why is it “Brussels” and not “Brussel”?
23. Workout style: Avoidance
24. X-rays you've had: I think I’ve had most everything x-rayed at one time or another.
25. Yesterday's best moment: I don’t remember yesterday. I’ve slept since then.
26. Zoo favorite: going in spring time, when the weather is still semi-cool, and the animals are starting to act a wee bit more frisky. I am a cat person through and through, so any cat-type animals are the ones I am most likely to stand and watch for any length of time.

So, now that you know all about me alphabetically, tell me about yourself!
