ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon!


In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin's blog!


Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did.

A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday.

B. Bed size: King

C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch

D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry. I could do a post in itself about my dislike for canines.

E. Essential start to your day: Bowl of oatmeal/or cereal with bananas. Or fruit

F. Favorite color: Greeen

G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver.

H. Height: 5'4'' - Sometimes I lie & say 5'5''. Some people lie about their weight, age, haircolor...I lie about my height. I'm weird.

I. Instruments you play(ed): Trombone, piano, xylophone, harmonica, guitar, recorder

J. Job title: Registered Nurse

K. Kids: None

L. Live: Oro Valley, AZ

M. Mom’s name:Marlys
 
N. Nicknames: Abs, Abber, Abster, Rufus (my sister called me that when I was little), Auntie Sparkles

O. Overnight hospital stays: I'm "overnight" at the hospital 3-4 times/week. However, I have never been to an Emergency Room or Hospital for my own health reasons. I hope I can keep this as long as possible. Hospitals = no fun

P. Pet peeve: People just leaving their carts in the parking lots, laziness, overly talkative people in lines @ grocery stores/airports/etc, excessive cussing - Do you really need to use the f-word in every sentence to get your emphasis out?

Q. Quote from a movie: "I'm not going to do....what everyone thinks I'm going to do -- which is FLIP OUT. but there's a thing in this world called Manners. These fish have manners. The fish are coming with me"

That is my favorite part of the movie Jerry Mcguire -- which is one of my favorite movies. I know, I know -- everyone hates this movie. I love it for some reason.

R. Righty or Lefty: Righty

S. Siblings: Chad, Kevin, Emily, Lisa (immediate siblings) - Emily, Julie, Jason, Erin, Nick, Sophia, Jack, Michael, Alexa (siblings-in-laws)


T. Time you wake up: Depends on the day. If I had it MY WAY it'd be 5:30 am. But being I work nights....on days after I work it's 2:30-3:00 pm (since I go to bed at 8:30 am). And when I don't work I'm up at 7:00 am.

U. Underwear: Yes. And they need to be tasteful. I don't like skanky underwear.

V. Vegetables you don’t like: I like all vegetables, actually! The only ones I can think of are cooked carrots. I'll still eat them, but I prefer raw.

W. What makes you run late: Clothes -- and not being about to find anything that looks good. It's probably a good thing I wear scrubs to work -- then I don't have to worry about outfit..

X. X-Rays you’ve had: Chest xray, collarbone @ birth, foot when I was in college & got several stress fractures in my feet

Y. Yummy food you make: My crock-pot creations are quite yummy. In fact, I have a zesty lemon chicken slow cooking in the crockpot right now...and plan on serving it with some squash & salad!

Z. Zoo animal favorite: Monkees/chimpanzees/gorillas. They're amazing how similar to humans they are! Just went to the zoo this weekend with my niece & nephew -- so this is fresh in my mind!

Happy early birthday and I'm SO JEALOUS of your king-sized bed!!!
Happy Almost Birthday- I thought you were older than almost 23 :)

You are still at an age where that is considered a compliment, right? haha

Carts!!!! I can't stand when people do that. The chicken sounds fantastic! Maybe a recipe post is coming ?? :)
Marlys said…
Fun blog! Remember that one nickname you hated, and so did I - "Crabby Abby"! You were not a crabby Abby!

Rufus? Huh, never heard that one.

I do wish people would put their carts away properly. One slid into my car once and broke the tail light.

Do share the lemony chicken...

These are always fun!! Though, I am sorry to hear you didn't get switched to days!! One day, hopefully...

I'm actually curious to hear about why you don't like dogs??

Happy early birthday. Hopefully you get to celebrate!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
