A - Z of Me

Sue from the Good Life had this totally fun list on her blog (make sure you visit Sue's blog because I had a good laugh at some of her answers) and since I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about today anyway, will do the same.  Post me a comment with a link if you choose to do your own list also!


A=Age; Just turned 35.  I feel old!

B=Bed size; Queen size.  And in the mornings when Caitlyn sometimes decides to join us at 6am and loudly declares that she needs some more blankets it reminds me of "there were 3 in the bed and the little one said roll over".  Thankfully she doesn't always do this.

C=Chore that you hate; Ironing. Dishes. Laundry. 

D=Dogs; No dogs.  We have cats though.  Had the cutest little miniature pinchers years ago in South Africa - Rudi and Bambi.

E=Essential start to you day; More sleep ;-).  Definitely breakfast.

F= Favourite colour; Depends.  I quite like pink, red, blue - most colours I guess.

G=Gold or silver; Ooh Gold!

H= Height; 1.72m.

I=- Instruments you play; I can play a few tunes on a recorder.  Would love to learn a new instrument.  I always thought the violin might be a good idea... if I can convince Terence to let me practice at home ;-).  Which he won't so it would have to be a different instrument.

J=Job title; Home Executive (sounds better than housewife)

K-Kids; 2 girls - Bianca (8) and Caitlyn (4)

L=Live; Born and lived in South Africa until 2004, New Zealand is my current home!

M=Mother's name; Amanda.

N=Nickname; I don't think I've ever had a real nickname.

O=Overnight hospital stays; With the kids when they were born.  And several more times when Bianca was sick.  She spent 117 nights in hospital.

P=Pet peeves; Hmmm...  People who play loud music late at night!

Q=Quotes from a film;
I have great insight. I'd use it on myself only I don't have any problems.  (Alex Fletcher, Music & Lyrics)

Well, that's just ridiculous. Nobody grows up in Florida, unless you're an orange. (Alex Fletcher, Music & Lyrics)

R=Right or left handed; Right handed.

S= Siblings; 1 Brother about 3.5 years younger than me.

T=Time you wake up; Usually around 6:15 to get everybody ready for school and work.  Weekends later if I can.

U=Underwear:  Of course!


V=Vegetable I hate: Pumpkin (although I love pumpkin fritters), cabbage

W=What makes you run late; The kids in the morning trying to get them ready for school.

X=Xrays you've had; Can't think of any I had.  Bianca on the other hand has had about 11.

Y=Yummy food that you make; My kids love my pasta dish, baking I guess (if you can call that a food).

Z=Zoo animals;
I love the giraffes, elephants and more recently Happy Feet our little penguin celebrity :-)
