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.

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

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...

Happy Homemaker Monday

   As I look outside my window::: So far today, it is cold and gloomy! Right now I am:::  Sitting on the couch under my crocheted afghan. Thinking and pondering::: On Thanksgiving!  What to fix.  I think I'm getting carried away, but I love it.  On my bedside table::: I haven't been doing much reading lately and I should. Duck Commander Family by Willie and Korie Robertson Frozen by Sarah Nathan and Sela Roman On my tv tonight::: American Horror Story Some Doctor Who specials Playing on the radio::: I don't have anything playing right now, but I'm obsessed with James Blunt's new song, Bonfire Heart. The video is amazing too.  I love the story behind the video.  The people in it are NOT actors.  The wedding scene towards the end, he actually crashed a wedding and captured the bride and grooms first dance.  Amazing.  And, not only is his voice and music wonderful, he's a total hottie. On the menu for ...

Blogmas 2014 - Day 13 How Are You Counting Down To Christmas

Ok, honestly....  I'm not.  I have this gorgeous advent calendar that is 3 building with little numbered doors all over them.  I haven't gotten it out for lack of space and really small children.  Maybe next year.  Also, Ben has been all over the lego ones and stuff so I figure, I'll pick up some next year or as I see them now this year, so each kid can have their own next year.  I don't know maybe I'll just make them if I'm feeling crafty and find the time.  It actually hit us all at once on Saturday that Christmas was less than 2 weeks away.
