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.
