Cheater post

Jive Turkey said I could straight up snaggle this business, so I did. 

You like it?--you leave a link to yours and I will read it.  You hate it?--you shut your piehole and shuffle on, friend.

A to Z


A. Age: 36


B. Bed size: King. Anything teenier is ridiculous.


C. Chore that you hate: Cooking. I hate it and it's not a stress-reliever and it makes things messy and I would generally just prefer to eat out or eat cereal.


D. Dogs: I'm tolerant of dogs, but owning one and dealing with the poo and hair and slobber and smell and just no. No, thanks. 


E. Essential start to your day: Seeing smiles from Ezra and Iris.


F. Favorite color: Green


G. Gold or silver: Silver


H. Height: 5'7"


I. Instruments that you play: Um. I have no skillz.


J. Job title: Reference Librarian. Or, according to T at home, "Giver of Hassle."


K. Kids: Two rowdy-ass toddlers, Ezra and Iris


L. Live: the Midwest


M. Mother's name: Janet


N. Nicknames: There are many. 


O. Overnight hospital stays: 2008 when Ezra was born, but then 2009 did it up right big. I stayed overnight for some kidney stones. Then I stayed overnight three different times to be monitored for bedrest-type horseplay. Then there was the Sneak Attack Birth. So...yeah. 2009. Ole.


P. Pet peeves: Douchebags. The people not the feminine hygeine product.


Q. Quote from a movie: One T and I will say often to one another when the refrigerator is looking rather empty...from Dumb and Dumber: "We've got no food, we got no jobs. OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLIN' OFF!"


R: Right or left handed: Right


S: Siblings: Two younger brothers


T. (Uh, Jive Turkey, what the heck happened to T on your list?)


U. Underwear: Sad


V. Vegetable(s) you hate: The green pepper and its friends, Red and Yellow, can die in a fiery crash. I do not like.


W. What makes you run late: Trying to wrangle and stuff my children into the car.


X. X-rays you've had: My teeth? 


Y. Yummy food that you make: Cheesy potatoes, wild rice casserole, roast beef, chocolate chip pumpkin bread.


Z. Zoo animal: Penguins. I keep trying to get T to let me have one.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE T WENT. And it was probably something awesome, too. BOOOOO.

(And YAY! You did it!)

Bearca said...

K, I knew you were my internet soul mate, as we ALSO quote that exact thing from Dumb & Dumber ALLLL THE TIME.

Also "275 thou. Might want to hold onto that." (and more. We have a sickness.)

LE Bean said...

heh... J & I sleep in a full. With sometimes as many as 3 cats. Thankfully, we like to snuggle. (we are thinking of moving up to a queen once this fetus gets herself all external-like)

Hillary said...

And now I want cheesy potatoes.

Also, have you read A Sick Day for Amos McGee? We got it at the library last week and every time we read it, I want a penguin like the one who sits on Amos' feet while he naps to keep them warm. Tell T: Penguins are useful.

Allison the Meep said...

That was Gigglefest 2012 for me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your list.

Jessica said...

I hate green peppers, too! And red and yellow! Those things are nasty.

you make me laugh when i'm feeling not laughy.

Janet said...

Of course your mom is named Janet. Janet is definitely a "someone's mom's name" name.

I am scared of getting a king size bed because I know every non-king size I sleep in after that day will feel like a one man tent.

Elsha said...

I played along!

Also, "Giver of Hassle" may be the best job title ever.

PrairieMom said...

Fun times! I did it! http://www.prairiemom-shawnee.blogspot.com/

And I hate green peppers too. Blech.

Biz said...

I really feel like I would enjoy watching you and T. Be it through your windows or through a camera on a reality type program.

Michelle said...

Underwear: Sad .... snort.

Yes on the dog and the cooking. Just no to both.

Hailey @ Me and My Boys said...

HAHA! The Dumb and Dumber quote got me.
And ditto to Janet's bed comment.

I may have to play along.

Sara said...

I do what you say to do so I did it.

Plus this suits my nosy personality to a T.

Shalini said...

How have I never read Jive Turkey? Um, she's HILARIOUS. Also, it seems we are all the same height. Freaky.

Jeanette Nyberg said...

This is great! I want in. Maybe tomorrow- and we'll have to work on your dog-loving skills.

Ann said...

Going to use this post idea - thanks! Also sympathize about cooking - it is so much work: shopping, prep, and all the clean-up!

Melissa A. said...

T should be Travel Favorite.

Amber @ Backwards Life said...

"I would generally just prefer to eat out or eat cereal."
Same...hate cooking, pretty much always.

Katie Anna said...

I also am a hater of douchebags. Or lately as I call the douche canoes which can shorten to DC in a pinch.
