Amygdalia's Blog

ABC's of me

I’m taking the lazy route today. Someone posted this list on Facebook, and I don’t really care to put it up there, but I thought it would make a decent blog post without my having to come up with a topic for the day.

A. Age: 44

B. Bed size: King

C. Chore you hate: Cleaning toilets, tubs/showers. Toilets are GROSS, and I’m too short to reach the back of the tub/shower wall to scrub (see H.)

D. Dogs: I’m a cat person, but dogs can be sweet.

E. Essential start to your day: COFFEEEEE!

F. Favorite color: Green.

G. Gold or silver: Silver

H. Height: 4’11”

I. Instruments you play: none

J. Job title: Mom, chauffeur

K. Kids: 3 – Dr B is 19, Goldilocks is 14, and Monkey is 9

L. Live: Livermore, CA

M. Mom’s name: Mimi

N. Nicknames: Amygdalia, Mumsy, Mom, Pocket, Amya

O. Overnight hospital stays: Memorial Day 1980 – was in a car accident with my dad, and stayed overnight 2 nights in a random hospital in NJ. August 1994, when Dr B was born. January 1999, when Goldilocks was born. February 2004, when Monkey was born.

P. Pet peeve: Just one? Lying. Random, meaningless noise. Leaving the cabinets open.

Q. Quote from a movie: “What’s this? My book? C.K. Dexter Haven, you have unsuspected depth!” ~ Jimmy Stewart as Macaulay Conner in Philadelphia Story

S. Siblings: none

T. Time you wake up: Too early. Lately, when given the chance to wake on my own, my body has been getting me up around 8 AM.

U. Underwear: Always

V. Vegetables you dislike: I don’t think there are vegetables I dislike so much as vegetables I haven’t been able to bring myself to try. Parsnips. Rutabaga. Beets. Not a fan of bitter, so there are some greens I’m not crazy about, but can’t think of what they are.

W. What makes you run late: My kids.

X. X-Rays you’ve had: Foot, leg, knees, chest

Y. Yummy food you make: Baked brie with raspberry and puff pastry, Moroccan spiced chickpea soup, chai spice cookies, latkes, trifle
