Old School Blogging: ABC's

I'm back!  We had an awesome, wonderful trip to Chicago to visit my parents and some of my siblings and now are in post trip letdown; not to mention trying to adjust back to California time, especially after a late flight (landed at 10:20 PST)

I thought today would be perfect to join in June's Old School Blogging with Elaine from the Miss Elaine-ous Life




This month is the classic Alphabet meme.

Alphabet Meme

A. Attached or Single?   
 Totally Attached to my husband Eric, my best friend

B. Best Friend?  See Above :)


C. Cake or pie? Cake!!  Though when I was a kid I loved sneaking raw pie dough when my mom made pies

D. Day of choice? Friday-- kids gone some of the day (during school) but the weekend is coming, no homework and we go out to eat

E. Essential Item? my contacts otherwise everything far away is a big blur

F. Favorite color? Blue

G. Gummy bears or worms? worms

H. Hometown? Chicago suburbs

Home I grew up in- this picture from our trip last week
I. Favorite Indulgence? chocolate, especially chocolate with soft, oozy carmel in it

J. January or July? Since I live in SoCal they are both great..  but I guess July

K. Kids? 3 Lucas (8), Alex (6), Ryder (3)


L. Life isn’t complete without? My family and my faith

N. Number of brothers/sisters? 3 brothers/ 3 sisters
My little sister and I from my trip last week
O. Oranges or Apples. Apples- Gala is my favorite

P. Phobias? lots of people in a small space, small spaces themselves don't bother me though

Q. Quotes?  "Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling.  It is not something to do if you can squeeze the time in.  It is what God gave you time for." Neil L. Anderson

R. Reasons to smile?  my family, the silly things my kids say and do, the sunshine, beautiful weather

S. Season of choice? Used to be fall as I love the leaves falling off the trees but well I live in Southern California now and leaves don't fall off at or or not until winter, so I guess spring

T. Tag 5 People.  CA Girl, Mrs. Match, Amy of Involuntary Smiles, Liz of a Nut in a Nutshell, Ashely of Dancing with Ashley

U. Unknown fact about me? 


V. Vegetable? Corn on the Cob

W. Worst habit? twirling and sometimes putting my hair in my mouth

X. Xray or Ultrasound? is this a preference question?  Ultrasound then as you have to hold really still for x-rays

Y. Your favorite food? Potatoes and sushi-- and yes that is two but I love them both

Z. Zodiac sign? Scorpion

This was fun to do!  Pick a question or two and answer it in the comments, would love to know your answers.

    Happy early anniversary, what a beautiful bride. You and Allison have the same bad habit. She is always putting her hair in her mouth.

  3. I have that phobia, too. It's not the small spaces, it's being crowded into them and feeling like I couldn't easily get out. Totally freaks me out.

    Happy early anniversary!

    1. Yes, exactly! Maybe if I was really tall and could see above the crowds that wouldn't bother me.

    1. Yea, for a few years when I first had kids and people would always say I didn't look old enough to have kids it would be annoying; but now that I am in my 30's I am grateful I still look young :)

    1. Thank you!! It should be fun as long as I can find a babysitter so we can actually go do something

  15. Fun! I'm laughing at potatoes being your favorite food. I know someone else that would probably say the same thing.

  16. So which suburb did you live in? I lived in Schaumburg and I miss it!!! Also, you and I should totally get together and nosh on chocolate and caramel. Heaven, heaven, heaven.

    Thanks for tagging me even though I'm lame and will probably never get to it because I'll be traveling so much this month. (NOLA!)

    I have a bad hair habit too. I run my fingers through my hair and then drop all the loose strands on the floor. I'm so bad.

  17. Your trip to Chicago looked like so much fun! I've always wanted to go there.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I don't think I knew you were originally from Chicago. And wow, you came from a big family!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I had a hard time thinking of what you don't know about me already too.... I"d like to check out Chicago-- heck, i'd like to check out SOCAL or just say I've been there before. You have great reasons to smile & love your family pics!! Happy Anniversary (I'm a tad behind )

  20. Thank you for the tag and I'm sorry I'm just now getting around to commenting. It was a hectic weekend and Piglet started a growth spurt, ack! I love love love your quote about motherhood, and I could not agree more! I also love the fall, it is hands down my favorite time of year. The weather, the leaves, the CLOTHES. With this post preggo belly I cannot wait for Fall. How the heck do you cover up a post partum pooch in the summertime??
