Getting To Know Me

Another popular post spinning around the blogosphere, it's popped up over at Homeowner By 30, Shaking the Money Tree, and most recently at Morgaine and Money.


I saw it last night, but I was on my way to bed at the time. So, I give you my amped up version: The A-B-C's and the 1-2-3's!


•Age: 26


•Bed Size: Full - not a twin, but not quite a queen either.


•Chore You Hate: Washing dishes. Ugh. I'll dirty them, but I sure as hell don't want to wash them.


•Dogs: None, though I do play with The Boy's pup :)


•Essential start of your day: When its available, a cuddle from The Boy. If not, the snooze button.


•Favorite color: Green - and that has nothing to do with money!


•Gold or silver: Silver


•Height: 5 feet 2.75 inches. That's right, I'm taking my fractions where I can get them.

•Job title: Unemployed Engineer in Training

•Live: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada


•Mom’s name: Sue

•Overnight hospital stays: None. Kind of surprising really.


•Pet peeve: People tapping their feet or a pencil in an otherwise silent room. Oh yeah, and I hate the sound of velcro *shudder*

are, you aren't. - Margaret Thatcher 


•Right or left handed: Right.


•Siblings: 1 sister


•Time you wake up: As late as physically possible, about 5 minute before running out the door.


•Underwear: Usually. lol. Thongs, boy shorts, or whatever is comfy that day.

•What makes you run late: My dear, sweet, snooze button. And The Boy ;)


•X-rays you’ve had done: Just the dentist


•Yummy food you make: Roasted garlic and butternut squash soup, potato salad, roasted chicken...


•Zoo animal: Anything little, cute and fuzzy. I'm a sucker for that.

•5 - number of failed blogs I started before started this one


•6 - age when I got my ears pierced


•7 - average number of dollars I spend in Starbucks. Damn growing stomach.

•10 - jersey number of my favourite hockey player as a kid - Pavel Bure (Go Canucks Go!)
