ABC's of Liz

Image
By
I saw this over at Nerd Nest and thought I would do it here.  It looked like a fun way to get to know me a little bit better.



Age: 25

Bed size: King

Chore you hate: Dishes! And laundry, but the laundry is only a problem because I have to run the dryer 2-3 times to get things dry and it backs everything up making laundry take forever.

Dogs: We have one.  Her name is Maya and she's a very large black lab.  We also have a black kitty named Perpetua but we call her Petti.

Essential start of your day: Snuggling Sydney and watching the Today show.  I'm an addict and record it if I'm going to miss it. 

Gold or silver: I prefer silver or white gold although I do love yellow gold also.  My wedding ring is yellow gold.

Height: 5'6

Instruments I play (or have played): Violin through 6th grade, flute (yes, I was a "band geek"), drums a little for fun (not very well) and a little piano.

Job title: Stay at home mom/housewife/trophy wife (I'm only kidding about the last one, but I do like to tease my husband with that.

Kids: Benjamin and Sydney and hopefully a couple more in the future.

Live: Lawrence, Ks

Mom's name: Cheryl

Nickname: Liz, Bob

Overnight hospital stays: After having both of my babies, and when I was in ICU after my anaphylactic reaction to amoxicillin.

Pet peeve: Dirty clothes strung across the house, when someone gets up from the table and leaves their dishes, and when things are not put away in the correct spot.  I know, I'm a little OCD.

Quote from a movie: "I'd rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." Steel Magnolias.

Right or left handed: Right.

Siblings: Courtney (my sister), Chris (her husband), Andy (my brother), Kelly (my sister-in law) and Chris (my brother-in law)  Yes, I have 2 brother-in laws named Chris... 

Time you wake up: Anywhere from 7 to 8.  It depends on the kids.

Underwear: Nothing sexy that's for sure.  Just boring ole cotton panties.

Vegetables you dislike: Mushrooms.  I don't mind them in things, I just don't like them to be the main focus of the dish.

What makes you run late: Getting the kids ready.  We are late to everything!

X-rays you've had done: Dental, my wrist (when I broke it and then had surgery later), my thumb (it was dislocated), chest and leg (after a car accident - broke my collar bone), my foot (broke it and had surgery on it).  We used to joke that I've had so many x-rays that I should be able to glow in the dark.

Yummy food you make: Ask my husband and he'll tell you everything.  He likes even the stuff I'm not real proud of.  I love him.  He's my biggest cheerleader.  Probably either my pizza or my sweet and sour pork chops.

Zoo animal: Hmmm... I like the apes, big cats, and bears... probably my favorite at our zoo is the polar bear.  But I like the elephants and hippos too.  I'm an animal lover so this is a really hard question for me.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
