ABC's of Me

Age – 28. Eek! Almost the end of a fabulous decade of living. 

Bed - King. The hubby and I share it with a 115 pound Golden Retriever and a 12 pound Shih Tzu. The king is definitely necessary.

Chore you hate – Cleaning carpets! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind vacuuming, but I hate running the shampooer. The hubby is kind enough to take care of that one for me on most occasions.

Dog or Cats – Both! I have a Golden Retriever (Sosa), a Shih Tzu (Bowser), and 2 cats (Coffee & Grubbs)

Essential start of the day – Dark roast coffee with French vanilla creamer and Splenda.

Favorite color – Purple!

Gold or Silver – Silver or white gold.

Height – 5’7”

Instrument – I don’t play anything well, but I can peck around the piano/organ and know some power chords on the guitar.

Job – I’m in banking. I love my job! I get to meet new people every day and help make people’s lives easier.

Kids – Only the fur-babies, but I would love to have a couple little ones in the very near future.

Where do you Live – In a suburb of Indianapolis. The Midwest suits me for now, but I would love to end up in the Pacific Northwest.

Favorite Movie – Wow! That’s hard. I love movies and my favorites depend on my mood at the time. A few of my most viewed are Dirty Dancing, Juno, Center Stage, Girl Interrupted, and Man on Fire.

Nickname – Squooshy (courtesy of my hubby), Doodle Bug or Buggah (given to me by my brother), or Am (a shortened version of my name, Amberly).

Overnight hospital stay – Thankfully, never.

Pet peeve – Bad grammar!

Favorite Quote – “And if these pictures have anything important to say to future generations it’s this: I was here. I existed. I was young. I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.” Robin Williams as Sy Parrish in One Hour Photo.

Right or left handed – I’m a righty who secretly wishes she was left-handed.

Siblings – A younger brother.

Time it takes to get ready – It depends on the occasion, but my hair is incredibly unruly and takes a lot of time to tame. Maybe an hour on average.

Underwear – I am a cutesy cotton hipster kinda girl.

Vegetable you hate – Peas! They are bitter and the texture creeps me out.

What makes you late – Getting the dogs to do their business and get back in the house. The hubby! He is always looking for his keys or phone. It’s hilarious when you’re not in the moment.

Xrays you've had – The most recent would be at the dentist, but I’ve had fractures and spurs in my feet, a broken wrist, and a fractured wrist.

Yummy food that you make – I make some mean mac & cheese and baked chicken and rice. The hubby says he loves my cooking, but I think he just loves me!

Favorite Zoo animal – Polar Bears! They’re just so stinking cute for being so huge.

A big thank you to Jennifer over at Oh My Owls! for posting this cute getting-to-know-you list - a great way to spend my lunch break today.
