ABCs of Me

My Ask Anything post was a big hit and I have some new readers (Hello, welcome, and thank you for reading!) and thought I'd share some more about myself. I've seen this done on several blogs throughout last year and thought I'd finally do it myself. I've always enjoyed learning more about other bloggers and getting to know them, so why not share more about myself?

A. Age:  27 and dread each oncoming year. LOL Where have the years gone??
B. Bed size: Cal-King and it's still too small because my husband sleeps like a child. I've never had a small bed, straight from a crib I went to a queen (my mom's old bed when her and my dad moved in together when they were married).
C. Chore you hate:  Cooking. I love to eat and enjoy baking, but cooking? Not so much. Maybe that will change when we have kids and I feed multiple people and not just the two of us?
D. Dogs:  None. But I would love to have a Huskie and name it Wolf.
E. Essential start to your day:  Breakfast, I rarely skip it. Usually cereal, oatmeal, fruit or a health shake.
F. Favorite color:  White, pink, and yellow.
G. Gold or silver:  Both! I like to mix them too.
H. Height:  5'8
I. Instruments you play:  The piano, but not in front of people because I get nervous. So really, only my parents, sister, and grandparents know my skills. I also played the clarinet in middle school to avoid joining the choir. Sisters, I cannot sing or hum to save my life.
J. Job title:  Customer Service and Sales Specialist
K. Kids:  We plan/hope to start trying this year :)
L. Live: Sunny southern California! (ps NO ONE who lives in CA ever calls it "Cali" btw...)
M. Mom’s name:  Mom. Isn't that your Mom's name??
N. Nicknames:  Anderson, which is my maiden name.
O. Overnight hospital stays:  Never. Thank goodness.
P. Pet peeve:  People who don't call/text back, when people don't follow through on what they say they're going to do, I can't stand when people are late (it's so freaking rude), and when my food touches each other (yes, I know it goes to the same place).
Q. Quote from a movie/show:  "We are so arrogant, aren't we? So afraid of age, we do everything we can to prevent it. We don't realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone." -Love Actually
This is the first one I found on Pinterest, but I love a lot of movie quotes.
R. Righty or Lefty:  Lefty (and so is my husband!)
S. Siblings:  One younger sister.
T. Time you wake up:  I typically wake up around 7am, but for work there's days I have to get up at 530am.
U. Underwear:  I wear it all!
V. Vegetables you dislike:  Cauliflower.
W. What makes you run late:  When I'm waiting on other people.
X. X-rays you’ve had:  My left hand from when I broke my pinky, and of my neck when I hurt myself in cheer.
Y. Yummy food you make:  Shrimp, brownies, candied almonds, cupcakes, and salmon.
Z. Zoo animal favorite: I really like looking at all the animals, but typically skip the birds.

There you go, the random ABCs of me! What are some fun facts about you?

I went to college in California, stayed a couple years after graduation & then moved to NYC for work. While I lived there, everyone I knew allways referred to California as "Cali". I find it so interesting you have experienced the opposite is true.

Cute post! I'll definitely be stealing this in the near future! ;0)

I totally agree that one of the biggest contributors to being late is waiting on others *sigh*
