• I stole this from someone….I just don’t remember who.  I’m all
  for giving credit where it’s due so if I stole this from YOU, please
  let me know so I can link you.

  The ABC‘s of me…..
  

  
  A. Age, mine is 44. You’d think I’d be more mature wouldn’t you?
  
  B. Books, I read from 5 to 10 books a month. Depending on the size of
  the book.  I have a weakness for fantasy fiction, but I read
  “good” ones too.  My best friend used to tease me because when I
  run out of books I read the encyclopedia.  I love all books
  fiction and non-fiction.  If its in print I’ll give it a shot.
  That 5 to 10 doesn’t  include the 5 magazines I subscribe to as
  well.
  
  C.  Car. I dream of owning a sleek dark green 2 seater Jag
  convertible,  me and my man flying down the highway with the wind in
  my hair and the sun on my face.
  
  D. Daughters: Two, my heart, my life, my everything.  I am so
  proud of both of them it hurts.  I love both of them so much it
  hurts.  Damn! I miss my daughters.  Just had to grow up and
  move out didn’t you…..lol
  
  E. Elizabeth….me.  I have always loved my name, I think it’s classy. thanks mom.
  
  F. Fears. I’m afraid of heights.  Since I know it’s irrational,
  I’m  working on it by forcing myself to go up high. Sometimes it
  works sometimes it doesn’t.  What’s really odd it’s not like the
  higher I go the scary it gets.  I have been on cliffs higher than
  2 or 300 feet and been less scared than in a 3 story building.  It
  all depends and I never know when it will hit.
  
  G. GOD, way more important to me than people realize.  I believe in God and prayer.
  
  H. Hell, I believe in that too, but I don’t worry because I will be in the best h…. Heaven.
  
  I.  Ice cream. Summer or Winter there’s usually ice cream in the
  freezer.  Vanilla is my fave but it needs to be a really good
  vanilla.   I also love Jamoca Almond Fudge.  Yum
  
  J. Jeans, my pants of choice even though I know slacks look classier.
  
  K. Kingdom of Loathing, my own private addiction.  It’s pop
  culturetastic and ridiculous in a good way.  I spend way to much
  time in the chat channels and when I’m neglecting xanga you can usually
  blame it on KoL. I’m thinking of making a new character by the name of
  thischicksaloon.  as in “this chicks a loon” not “this chick
  saloon” (whew, I just came out)
  
  L. Lonely, I get so lonely here, being isolated by language and away
  from friends and family that sometimes I feel I’m in solitary. 
  Then it goes away.   Oh and get this.  I finally figured
  out why none of the army women will try and be friendly. 
  They  think because of my age that I am an officer
  wife….ha,ha.  ME! an officers wife. to funny. 
  
  M. mumps. I never had any childhood illness.  I never had measles,
  mumps, chicken pox nothing.  Now Drs. freak if I come in contact
  with them because they’re much more deadly for an adult.
  
  N. nocturnal. I think I was born that way.
  
  O. Observant, sometimes I’m not at all and that really bothers
  me.  So I make a point to be and then after a little while it just
  gets forgotten until the next embarrassing faux pas of
  non-observance.  Like when I didn’t even notice my own husband had
  shaved until he rubbed his bare chin pointedly.  Hello! open your
  eyes.
  
  P. Parties, I love ‘em.  Not the get drunk and puke kind. 
  The kind with good friends, food and conversation.  (peace, I want
  world peace SO bad)
  
  Q. Quarter horse, someday I’m going to own one.  That’s all there is to that.
  
  R. Running.  If I ever have to run for my life I’m a dead woman. I
  have a bad knee and after falling down the stairs last year a weak
  ankle.  Yup, a dead woman.
  
  S.
  Sunshine. I was born in the sunny South and raised in the even sunnier
  West.  If it rains for more than 10 days I start getting
  crazy.  Probably why I loved living in my other S Spain so
  much.  Because, “The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plains.”
  It’s true.
  T. Truth, tell it to me even if it hurts.  I’ll get over the hurt but not the lie.
  U.
  Umbilical, I don’t think mine was ever cut, which is really awkward
  since both my kids think the same thing and that may be why I’m such a
  klutz.  Always trippin’ over those three cords.
  V.
  Vanity, I am vain and I admit it, which is why I go to the gym 3 times
  a week and have started Pilates for beginners on the opposite 3
  days.  (yeah Kat I finally broke out the dvd.)
  W.
  Wander I adore a good wander.  If it were up to me I would wander
  all over the world.  I cannot think of one place I wouldn’t be
  thrilled at wandering around in. AND wisdom. Of which apparently I was
  born without as in teeth. yup, not one wisdom tooth, my mom was
  thrilled, as you can imagine.  I also happen to have 4 baby
  teeth.  The dentist always announces this like it’s going to be
  news to me. “YOU have BABY teeth.” 
  X.
  xanga of course. Without which L would be even worse.  Without
  which I would be so less blessed by knowing you, my friends and family
  of choice.
  Y. Youngest, I am the youngest in my family, they say that’s why I’m such an attention whore. 
  Z.
  Zombie my favorite Cranberries song. Zucchini, my favorite squash. Fried
  please not boiled. Zodiac, Aries, explains a lot doesn’t it. And last
  but not least Zinnias, I love Zinnias not for their scent (icky) but
  because they are so colorful and are such long lasting cut flowers.

  There now you have my ABC’s, won’t you play along with me.
