Just me: a to z

Nicole always has fun blog posts! Today, I'm copying her idea for a little "about me" post:

a. age: 31
b. bed size: queen, but if it was up to Troy, we'd have a king
c. chore that you hate: weeding -- maybe it's because I didn't spend a lot of time outside this summer so when I did go to weed, it was totally overgrown. That damn trumpet vine has gotten the best of me.
d. dog: our little girl, black lab, Bella
e. essential start to your day: lately it has been cherry coke (in a Starbucks mug so my students don't know I'm drinking pop already in the morning)
f. favorite color: pink, duh! =)
g. gold or silver: silver
h. height: 5'7"
i. instruments you play: I played oboe for 8 years and mellophone for 4 years in Marching Band. If you count Rock Band and Guitar Hero, then I play guitar too!
j. job title: teacher, wife, mommy, CFO
k. kids: twin boys - 6.5 months old - Ellis and Logan
l. live: Metro Detroit Michigan
m. mother's name: DeLynn
n. nicknames: Beauty, cute girl
o. overnight hospital stays: just once -- after my c-section in March
p. pet peeves: oh dear, I could be here all day with this one. Lazy people, people who want something for nothing, people who lie and continue lying when you confront them about it, bad drivers (and yes, I'll admit that they are frequently women), STUPID people that work at Staples...yes Nicole and mom, I am still dwelling on that, people who don't know how to drive when it's raining...
q. quote from a movie: I have to admit, I memorize NO quotes from movies..don't ask me what movie this or that quote was from. I will have no idea!
r. right or left handed: right
s. siblings: my sister Nicole -- 2 years wiser
t. time you wake up: 5am if its a work day -- 7-ish on the weekends
u. underwear: most definitely yes
v. vegetable you hate: mushrooms
w. what makes you run late: I'm not usually late, but the past few times I've been late, it has been to work (so not like me...I'm usually 20 minutes early), but it was because of traffic when Southfield Fwy was closed and everyone was taking 75, so it was a hot mess.
x. x-rays you've had: teeth, and most recently my toe that I broke.
y. yummy food that you make: my latest addiction has been homemade granola bars. Thanks to Caryn for that recipe
z. zoo animal: I've gotta say that during my last trip to the zoo, the "show" that the chimpanzees gave us was pretty entertaining!

Like I said the day of the Staples incident - you were much nicer, and much more patient than I would have been. :) Thanks for playing along!!
