ABC's of Liz

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.

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am....
