Me A to Z

I don't think I've done this meme before.  If I have, it's been a long time.  Feel free to steal it if you want.  ;-)

A. Age: 40.  Yikes.

B. Bed size: Queen.  But in the interest of full disclosure, I should include that it is a queen-sized bed all to myself.  MM and I don't sleep in the same room most nights due to differing sleep/wake schedules and his being a light sleeper (and bed hog).

C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the bathrooms.  I now hire someone to do this for me, hallelujah!

D. Dogs: We have two golden retrievers.  Sebastian is 9, and Hunter is probably 6-7 (rescue, so we're not sure).

E. Essential start to your day:

F. Favorite color: blue.  I especially like the shade of blue people call "royal" or "peacock."

G. Gold or silver: I don't wear a lot of jewelry but I wear more silver than gold.  My wedding rings are white gold, which kinda looks like silver.

H. Height: 5'5".  Well, officially.  I'm really about 5'4 3/4".

I. Instruments you play(ed): I played the clarinet for YEARS.  Have also played the accordion (don't judge; I was 6), saxophone, xylophone, guitar, and piano.

J. Job title: As.soc.iate At.tor.ney

K. Kids: None yet.

L. Live: in a house with MM and our beloved two golden retrievers.

M. Mom’s name: Delores.  I call her D-Lo.

N. Nicknames: I don't really have any nowadays.  My sister called me "Bearkie" as a child--for reasons which have been lost in the sands of time--and I've been called by my last name by a lot of friends who've had other people in their life who shared my first name.

O. Overnight hospital stays: Never.  I'd like to keep that record intact, please.

P. Pet peeves: Oh goodness, were would I start?  I'm going to go with a safe choice which (I hope) won't offend many people and say drivers who change lanes without signaling.

Q. Quote from a movie: "I look like a nerdy hillbilly."  (Bonus points for the person who can tell me what movie this is from.  It's a recent one.)

R. Righty or lefty: Righty.  MM is a lefty.


S. Siblings: I grew up with a sister 25 months younger, the fabulous V.  We also have three stepsisters (mom's remarriage), two stepbrothers (dad's remarriage; one is now deceased, though), and two "long-lost" half-sisters we have never met through our mother.
T. Time you wake up: Usually 6:00 a.m.  Lately I have been getting up at 4:55 a.m. for morning boot camp.  (MM gets up at 8:45 a.m. most days)
U. Underwear: Cotton hipsters.  I don't "do" cute underwear, and I despise thongs.  I'm all about comfort!  (And MM could care less.  He told me early on that he finds sexy lingerie "intimidating.")

V. Vegetables you don’t like: Raw onions.  Blech.

W.What makes you run late: Underestimating the time it will take to arrive at my destination.
X. X-rays you’ve had: teeth, right arm (once in college), and I had an MRI of my right arm two summers ago after a dog bite.

Y. Yummy food you make: Hmm, tough one.  I'm really not much of a cook and only prepare a real "meal" maybe once a quarter or so.  I make decent green chile chicken enchiladas.

Z. Zoo animal favorites: I like primates, especially orangutans or gorillas.
