ABC

My cute little cousin put this tag on her blog, and I copied it to do on mine. It's cute.

The ABC's of me!!!!!

A

Age - 32. I still can't believe it.

Animal - I really like animals. I adore dogs; I just can't seem to live with 'em.

B

Birthday - April 16. I just found out yesterday that I have the exact same birthday as Ben's boss! Crazy.

Blind or Deaf - If I had to choose one, I would choose being deaf. I mean, it would suck, but sometimes I really yearn for quiet. And I'm sensitive to loud noises. Overly so.

Best Weather - San Diego.

Believe in God? - YES!

Believe in Santa? - I believe that because of Santa, I am more stressed out at Christmas time. That is what I believe.

C

Candy - Skittles.

Color - Purple

Cried - This is so dumb - I got choked up listening to a Christmas song yesterday on the radio. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Chocolate/Vanilla - Chocolate, I guess. I'm not a fan of straight chocolate or straight vanilla. Add the candy and the syrups and then I'm good.

Chinese/Mexican - MEXICANNNNN :)

Cake or Pie? - Pie, pie, pie.

Clothing Style - Um.... I'm such a fan of t-shirts and jeans. But then sometimes I feel like a slob.

D

Day or Night? - I like the night, because I love to sleep.

Dream - I have action-packed dreams. I'm always in charge of saving the world. I'm like the Bruce Willis or the Vin Diesel of my dreams. So weird.

Do Splits? - Hahahahahaha!!!!! Oh.... hahahahahaha!!! Uh, NO.

E

Eggs - Benedict.

Ever Failed? You bet. It's a part of life. I failed my Humanities class at BYU. How can you fail a class about all of your favorite things? - art, literature, music, architecture... Somehow it happened and I cried a lot about that. Re-took it under a new professor and got an A.

Skipped School - Um, I think maybe I skipped one class period once in high school.

Slept Outside - Yep, when camping. I hate it. It creeps me out. Always has.

Sing in the Shower - Love singing in the shower. But I don't when Micah's napping.

Stuffed Animals - I can't get rid of my one stuffed bear from when I was teeny. His name is Flat Bear. I slept on him so much throughout my life that he is very, very flat. He was my cuddle buddy before I married Ben. Now he sleeps with Dylan.

V

Vegetable you hate - Brussels Sprouts. I tried those for the first time when I was pregnant with Dylan. Not a good plan.

X

X-Rays - So. I broke my sternum when I was 18. I was rushed to the hospital, and they had to give me some X-rays. The X-ray technician was this young man, like maybe 25 years old, and he was really cute. And he's like, "You need to take off your bra so that we can get a good x-ray." I tried and tried, but I couldn't do it, because I was in a lot of pain. It's hard to take off a bra under even normal circumstances, you know? I had a hospital gown on, so he just kind of reached back and undid my bra for me, and he said, "I usually only do this under more pleasurable circumstances." I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

X's? - Um, meaning exes? Maybe? I don't think about 'em.

Y

Year it is now- 2009!

Yellow? - My brother-in-law, Spencer's, favorite color. Because he feels sorry for it. Because no one ever picks yellow as their favorite color. :)

Z

Zoo animal - There is this monkey at the zoo who makes me laugh really hard. He has this little OCD pattern he goes through, over and over. He is up at one corner of his cage, and starts whooping, first slow, and then building up to a really fast whooping. And then he swings in this particular pattern all around the cage, and then he returns back to point one and starts whooping again. It's my favorite.

Zodiac Sign - Aries.

THEEEEEEEEEEEEEE END. I tag anyone who wants to do this.
