It’s been a long time since I’ve done a blog meme but I saw this one on Allie’s blog, Wardrobe Oxygen and figured it would be something fun to post while I’m in New Orleans. Enjoy!
A. Age: 49
B. Bed size: Queen. We had a king size when the kids were little and sleeping with us but bought this one when they were ready to sleep in their own beds consistently. During the hot summer months I sometimes wish we had a king but it’s perfect for snuggling in the winter. Besides, it’s too pretty to get rid of.
C. Chore that you hate: Cleaning up cat poop.
D. Dogs: Sadly, we are dog-less at the moment. We lost two dogs within a couple of months of each other last year and haven’t actively pursued finding another. Soon, though. I really want another Great Pyrenees. Duke was just precious and I miss him so.
E. Essential start to your day: Earl Grey tea.
F. Favorite color: Purple.
G. Gold or Silver: What? No platinum? Silver looks best with my skin tone.
H. Height: 5’4″
I. Instruments you play: Piano – minimally.
J. Job title: Hmm…blogger?
K. Kids: Christopher and Lisa. They bring me joy, make me laugh, and inspire me on a daily basis.
L. Live: Happyland.
M. Mother’s name: Mary.
N. Nicknames: Most call me by my given name, Deanna. Some relatives and friends call me Dee. My kids call me Mom. David used to call me Dimples when we were teenagers. My grandparents called me Princess, which helps to explain this:
O. Overnight hospital stays: The birth of each of my kids, early in my pregnancy with Lisa and once for a severe asthma/allergic reaction.
P. Pet peeves: Litterbugs and judgmental folks.
Q. Quote from a movie: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb inside his skin and walk around in it.” ~Atticus to Scout in “To Kill a Mockingbird”
R. Right or left handed: Right.
S. Siblings: Two younger brothers, Dan and Mike.
T. Time you wake up: Around 6:30 or 7:00, except when we are in New Orleans where we get to indulge our night owl preferences and then sleep in.
U. Underwear: A little personal but usually black thongs from Victoria Secret.
V. Vegetable you hate: Mushrooms, largely because I am deathly allergic to them.
W. What makes you run late: My tendency to underestimate how long it will take to get ready.
X. X-rays you’ve had: Dental, and a couple of chest x-rays. I’ve never broken a bone. Oh, and I also had sinus x-rays once a long time ago.
Y. Yummy food that you make: I love to cook and have several dishes people often ask me to make but jambalaya probably tops the list. A dear friend in New Orleans shared her special recipe with me and it is spectacularly delicious.
Z. Zoo animal: Giraffe, of course.
I love reading these memes! I don't think I have met anyone allergic to mushrooms, though I know so many who hate them!
FANTASTIC quote btw!
I really enjoyed yours and thought it would be a fun post to schedule while I was out of town.
My daughter is also allergic to mushrooms.
