It’s been a week, people. Older hobbit started junior high, and why don’t we just stop right there. I mean, that’s enough, right? It’s all Instagram and yo and right and just let me finish this game/text/show, which makes me want to get all Kanye West on his Taylor Swift. And he doesn’t even get that reference.
Any. Way. It’s also been a crazy slammed month for me at work and I’m looking at some extra stuff coming up for the next three months. As I pace myself and prepare for the fall (which I hate, by the way – worst season ever) and the WHOLE 30 I’m doing with the hubs from September 8-October 8, I thought today we might like a nice mellow Alphabet Meme. If you really want something to read, here is one of my favorite posts that feels appropriate considering the pre-teen deoderant commercial living in my house right now. So pour yourself a nice glass of Pino and peruse.
Without further ado, The Alphabet Meme:
A: Attached or single? Attached
B: Boys or girls? Boys
C: Cake or pie? Oh please. Cake.
D: Day of choice? Definitely Sunday. I start smiling as soon as I wake up and realize it’s Sunday. Sam and I get up early and hit Starbucks and then do the grocery shopping for the week. No small task. That’s followed by church with friends and family and then family activities- can be beach, park, movie at home, just generally hanging out together. Often closed by dinner with the grandparents.
E: Essential item in purse? iPhone, for sure. Also Dentyne fire gum and lip gloss. Oh, wallet too.
F: Favorite color? Lavender and red, but not together.
G: Gummy bears or worms? Um, chocolate. Sometimes licorice, can be black or red.
H: Hometown? Santa Barbara, CA.
I: Favorite indulgence? Pedicures.
J: January or July? July, of course, it’s my birthday month!
K: Kids? Two. A.K.A. The Hobbits.
L: Life isn’t complete without? God. Cheeseburgers. My family. Books. Hoodies and yoga pants.
M: Marriage date? January 14, 1995
N: Number of siblings? One younger brother. I’m not allowed to tell you his name.
O: Oranges or apples? Fuji apples, every day.
P: Phobias? Roller coasters.
Q: Quotes? Sure. But quotes can be a black hole so I try to stay around the perimeter. Rilke, C.S. Lewis, Mary Oliver- all faves.
R: Reasons to smile? Jesus. My husband and kids. Cheeseburgers, again. Cake, again. Coffee. Dear friends who know me deeply, over years. Doing good work that makes a difference to people.
S: Season of choice? Summer.
T: Temptations: Worry. Sugar. Impatience. Retail therapy. To believe that anything alive can or should be controlled.
U: Unknown fact about me: A little known fact, that very few people believe when I tell them, is that I am indeed an introvert. For reals.
V: Vegetable? Tomatoes! And pumpkin! Also zucchini and sweet potatoes.
W: Worst habit? Easy: Worry.
X: X-ray or ultrasound? Ultrasound.
Y: Your favorite food? If you haven’t guessed cheeseburger by now……
Z: Zodiac sign? Cancer
So there you have it. I love memes and hope you enjoyed this one. Now go take Monday off and please also pray for Syria if you’re the praying type.
ARE YOU LEADING THE LIFE YOU WANT?
