ABCs Of Me

The other day I saw this post at Oregon Sunshine's blog "Adventures of Life"  It seemed like a neat idea so I asked her if she minded if I borrowed the idea... anyone else want to play along?

A: Age: 37
B: Bed size: Queen
C. Chore you hate: household, folding and putting away laundry and cleaning the cat boxes.  If you mean horse chores then nothing really... after all its been less than a year that I've been taking care of my ponies here at home instead of boarding :)
D. Dogs: 3, hope to get a 4th as an outdoor guardian dog. 
E. Essential start to your day: stretching
F. Favorite color: purples, also greens, blues
G. Gold or silver: for jewelry, either.  I really like the look of brushed nickel for household things like doorknobs.
H: Height: 5’8″
I: Instruments that you can play: none, zip, zero, nada. I can't even sing half decent. Although I used to know how to play a couple simple songs on guitar.
J: Job title: according to my father-in-law, manager.  According to me, supervisor.
K: Kids: none of the human variety.  Of the 4 legged, furry kind 16 (if you include the barn cats)
L: Live: after a sometimes impatient search, on an acreage near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada)
M: Mom’s name: Darlene
N: Nicknames: Lou, Brat, Smartass
O: Overnight hospital stays: none for myself but I did stay at the hospital all night in the ER with Pie before he finally got admitted (when he had the lung abscesses)
P: Pet peeve: rude people, the lacking everyday consideration kind of rude or just plain stupid kind of rude.  Also people who get animals without thought of what they're getting into.
Q: Quote from a movie: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" Rhett Butler  "I feel the need, the need for speed" Maverick  "There's no crying in baseball!" Jimmy Dugan (which for some reason my friends and I randomly say)  BUT if we could include TV I could have one of my favourite quotes which comes close to something I've said a few times "You know what, there's a ton of lore on unicorns too.  In fact, I hear that they ride on silver moonbeams, and that they shoot rainbows out of their ass!" Dean Winchester
R: Righty or lefty: lefty
S: Sibling: 2, both younger.  A sister and a brother (the 'baby')
T: Time you wake up: usually between 11 am and noon unless I need to get up earlier.  *Please bear in mind that I usually go to bed between 3:30 am and 5 am*
U: Underwear: yes, clean lol
V: Vegetables you dislike: it would be shorter to list the ones I DO like lol.  Veggies just don't do it for my sweet tooth.
W: What makes you run late: I used to always run late.  Now I try to be more on time, but Pie makes me late a LOT
X: X-rays: teeth at dentist, chest for bronchitis/pneumonia, chest for ribs, ankle.  I'm supposed to be getting my knees x-rayed but haven't yet.
Y: Yummy food you make: I bake some pretty good desserts.  For meal foods though... hmm, there's a casserole I make that Pie likes, doesn't really have a name.  I make a good roast, chicken breasts. Most of the stuff I make is pretty basic.
Z: Zoo favorite animal: Tigers, wolves, zebras.
