Because I can't resist following a trend...

And because I can't come up with anything else to talk about right now. 
 
(Only 12 more days of BCPs to go...)
 
So, the ABC's of me!  
 
(I think this desire to "join in" stems from a childhood of being denied buying the "cool" clothes and shoes because they were too expensive, too much of a fad, not feminist (if my mother didn't like the ad campaign for something, it didn't matter how much I begged), etc. ☺ )
 
(A) Age: 36
(B) Bed Size: King.  My DH and I are both really light sleepers and when we share smaller beds we wake each other up all night long. 
(C) Chore You Hate: Cleaning the bathroom.
(E) Essential Start Your Day Item: While I'm on "TTC break" -- coffee!!  
(F) Favorite Color:  Royal blue
(G) Gold or Silver?  Silver
(H) Height: 5'8"
(I) Instruments You Play: Nothing, really.  I was a dancer as a kid so there wasn't time for anything else. 
(J) Job Title: Associate Professor
(K) Kids: Yes, please!
(L) Live: Missouri.
(M) Mom's Name: Pat.
(N) Nicknames:  Nothing too interesting.
(O) Overnight Hospital Stays? Tonsilectomy at age 5 and nasty bronchitis in high school.
(P) Pet Peeve: Inconsiderate people.  Just in general.
(Q) Quote from a Movie:  I have many -- I tend to be one of those annoying people who quote movie lines a lot.  Here are some favorites from one of my favorite movies of all time.  "No more rhymes, now, I mean it...Anybody want a peanut?"  "Inconceivable!...You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."  "Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia' - but only slightly less well-known is this: 'Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line!' Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...*clunk*" "As you wiiiiiiish......"
(R) Right or Left Handed? Right
(S) Siblings: One step-brother
(T) Time You Wake Up? 6 am
(U) Underwear: I'm a bikini girl
(V) Vegetable You Dislike: sometimes eggplant -- depends on how you cook it
(W) What Makes You Run Late:  Other people.  Otherwise, I'm obnoxiously on-time or, usually, early.
(X) X-Rays You've Had Done: Chest, hip, head, abdomen, feet
(Y) Yummy Food You Make: veggie lasagna, veggie pot pie
(Z) Zoo, Favorite Animal: pandas

    "ROUSs? Rodents of unusual size? They don't exist."

    Glad you jumped on the bandwagon! It is a nice distraction from the usual posts we all have, isn't it?

    i agree that cleaning the bathroom is the crapiest chore -- the good thing is when you're pregnant you can get your husband to do it ALL the time ("oh the chemicals are BAD for me!")

    and you're right about eggplant...i had a tough, chewy piece in a sandwich last week and i almost up-chucked. gross!

    I love it and will be copying this for me! I'm in a holding pattern and cannot possibly write any more about my fibroid.

    Hope you're doing well!
