ABC’s About Me…

Well, since my dear friend Lisa did this on her blog, and my bestest, Kim joined in as well.  I MIGHT as well go ahead and do it too.

It is highly possible they will be the only ones reading it! LOL  …. hello?  Is anyone out there?

The ABC’s about ME!

Age: 43 and proud of it!  I don’t ever want to be ashamed to say my age, it is an honor to know that God continues to give me breath to breathe!

Yes, this means I wore bell bottoms as a young child…my favorite pair were dark blue knit with little white kitty faces all over them…yup.

Bed size: King cuz I like to hog be comfortable.

Chore you dislike: You asked… picking up my dogs poop.  Ewwwww.

Dogs: The most adorable, spoiled, well behaved (sometimes), loving, precious little boxer you have ever seen!  Stormie.   We love her.

Essential start to your day: Smiles exchanged between my Lover and me.

Favorite color: I’m somewhere between pink and blue right now… lol

Gold or silver: Definitely Silver!

Height: 5 foot 5 inches.

Instruments you play(ed): I sadly have not learned an instrument “yet”.  I do like to sing, so I guess I can play my voice a little.

Job title: Home Enhancement Specialist ~ AKA Housewife

Kids: 1 very handsome, smart, funny, athletic, nutty, and very loved son…AND an absolutely lovely “almost” daughter-in-law.

Live: The Sunshine State: Florida!

Mom’s name: Dorothy, Dotty, Dot, Grandma, Dot-Dot, Gramma Dot, Mom.

Nicknames: My Dad and olders siblings tend to call me “Kath”.  When I was a baby my Dad called me Butterball…I’m sure you can figure out why, lol.  He also called me “Kathaleenie-bidga-bageenie” ~ that’s my favorite name…I would dance down the hall to the sound of that name.   I also answer to Mom, Mother, Momma, and Honey Bunches.

Overnight hospital stays: Birth, and I stayed overnight at the hospital with my son when he broke his leg.

Pet Peeves:  That feeling you get when you realize that no one is listening to you and just letting you talk, then expecting you to repeat yourself.  That’s just rude.  Or finding out that even though you have talked about something numerous times with someone, they never “heard” you.

Quote from a movie: “You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you, and I never wish to be parted from you from this day forward”….. sigh.

Righty or Lefty: Righty

Siblings:  3 older sisters and 2 older brothers.

Time you wake up: On hubby’s work days 5:00 a.m….days off, probably around 8:30

Underwear: You will be happy to know that YES, I do own underwear.

Vegetables you don’t like: Eggplant and squash.

What makes you run late: Me.

X-Rays you’ve had: Dental X-rays.  Knee X-rays.  Mammo ~ Oh yeah, that’s fun!!!

Yummy food you make: Yes.    I love food, love to cook, don’t usually cook things that I don’t think are yummy.  Hubby says everything I cook is yummy, he’s good like that, lol.  HE would say his favorite thing I cook is “Chicken n’ Dumplings”.  Our son would say a million things all at once, but I would probably hear “Shaw Tacos. 

Zoo animal favorite: Ardvark.

What?  Why not?    hee hee

Valentine Décor…

When hubby put the Christmas boxes in the attic, he also pulled down my one little Valentines box.

I looked at that 12x12x12 box and wondered what could be in there.  I love Valentines, why do I not have more “stuff”? LOL

Valentines is extra special for me because that is my precious hubby’s Birthday…so I get all all Valenbirthday on him.

However, when I opened the box, I didn’t really find much that I liked anymore.  There was the cute little hand embroidered streamer that I made last year, I like that.

However, most of the other stuff was store bought “ick”.  My homes color palate has been becoming must softer, whiter, calmer and I wanted my décor to go along with that feeling.

So first I headed to Pinterest, to see what I have pinned.  Don’t TELL me you don’t know what Pinterest is!  Oh my.   Another post all together.

After I got a little inspiration, I headed to my craft room…

I put together this little heart to hang in my “wall window”.  I’ve decided that a ‘wreath’ for every season shall hang here.

Then I rummaged around until I found the Pride and Prejudice book that I tore apart to make my decoupage table…I used some of the pages to make these cute hearts I saw on Pinterest.

I’m not done yet sisters!  I’ll come up with more as the week progresses…we shall see.
