Yes, you read right. This is a letter to my blog. But you better read along. I am pretty sure you might be interested in it. Plus, all the cool kids are doing it.
Dearest Drop {That is your first name, right? Guess I should know, since I named you.},
We really just jumped into this whole thing, didn't we? There wasn't really a "getting to know you" period, you know, with the small talk and random questions. So I thought I'd take a couple of minutes to fill you in on the things you might have {or maybe never did} wonder:
The ABC's of Me:
{an idea most completely not mine...I was inspired by Megan, from Across the Pond who happens to live pretty close to me but I don't know her in real life at all...just sayin'}
Bedsize: Queen...although I a dream of a King
Chores that you hate: Dusting is my nemesis. But truthfully? Most of them. {that'd be why they are called chores}
Dogs: Sadly, allergic to them.
Essential start to your day: Coffee. and Exercise. {Wait. Did I just type that?}
Favorite color: green and orange in general, red and blue in decorating
Gold or Silver: silver
Height: 5'5 and a half. {yes, the half matters}
Instruments you play: The xylophone
Job title:
Mom.
Housewife.
Changer of diapers.
Blogger.
Writer? Yes, writer.
Project Manager {when I was working outside the home...and yes, I still am, am I not?}
Kids: Silly blog. You know them...
J#4...our little girl...sweets
J#3...our firstborn...all boy
Live: Scotland {for now}
Mother's Name: Clara or Mom, or Grandma C
Nicknames: Jen, Jenny, JennyJenny, JJ, Kiddo
Overnight hospital stays: 7. Yes. 7. {when I was born, my 1st open heart surgery at 6, tonsils out in 4th grade, my non-open-heart surgery when I was 25--that's a fun story for another day, my open-heart surgery when I was 25, and two sweet babies later}
Pet peeves: Whistling.
Quote from a movie or tv show: "Begin each day is if it were on purpose." {Hitch}
Right or Lefty: Right
Siblings: Yup.
Time you wake up: 6 am on the weekdays. On the weekends? Whenever the toddler decides he can't play in his room anymore which usually means earlier than seems right.
Underwear: Of course.
Vegetable you hate: I'd say beets, but I haven't even tried them...so that wouldn't be fair. I mean, I tried herring at Christmas and actually liked it...so who knows?
{this is my "hmm, I actually liked it" face...in case you couldn't tell}
What makes you run late: Children. But even with them I tried my hardest to not be late.
X-Rays You've Had: see "o" above: so, a whole bunch.
Yummy food you make: Chicken enchiladas, banana bread....and...and...this is a tough one. Let's just say cooking isn't my strong suit.
Zoo Animal: Elephants.
So with that, dear blog, you should know me a little better.
