Hi All! It's been a while, but I thought I'd throw this post up so you don't think I disappeared into the void. A little survey about yours truly! A - Age: 32 B - Bed size: Queen, though you wouldn't always know it with Mr. Bony Bum crossing over to MY SIDE! C - Chore you hate: I actually don't hate many chorse, even the yucky ones. I suppose the worst is cleaning the microwave since it's higher up than me and awkward... but even then it's not so bad.

M - Mom's name: Gerharda N - Nicknames: Mel - But I HATE being called Mel by any but a few select privileged people (which doesn't include my husband!) O - Overnight hospital stay(s): Mostly for hip and knee surgeries, and two of my deliveries (the other I went home that day by choice) P - Pet Peeve: Stupid people, tardiness, smoking near non smoking areas, people who say "orientate" when they mean "orient", excessive incorrect punctuation, ignorance, I should stop before you think I'm an intolerant jerk... Q - Quote from a movie: "My name is Inigo Montoyez. You killed my father. Prepare to die." R - Right or left handed: right S - Siblings: A younger sister and much younger half brother T - Time you wake up: when ever I hear the melodious cries of one of my lovely darlings, which is any time between 5 and 7 a.m. U- Underwear: nothing exciting.
