T.C. of B. (Taking Care of Business)


A Tag from Angie that I'm combining with a tag from Allyn (my quirks and randomness are hidden in this ABC tag).

A-Attached or Single: Attached

B-Best Friend: Brian (because an old guy once told me that my husband has to be my bff)

C-Cake or Pie: Pie

D-Day: Saturday - I suffer from the delusion that I get to do what I want on Saturday.

E-Essential Item: Bubblebath

F-Favorite Color: Ice Blue, Cranberry

G-Gummi bears or gummi worms: Gummi bears

H-Hometown: I think I moved too much to have a hometown, but I still consider Oakley home

I-Indulgences: Sour Cream & Cheddar Ruffles Potato Chips, Lemon Bars from Flour Girls & Dough Boys, daydreaming (usually about winning money)

J-January or July: Today I would pick January because the heat and craziness of July is still fresh in my mind

K-Kids: One princess

L-Life is incomplete without: Work - I'm stealing from Angie on this one. I'm going to add that physical labor of any sort makes me feel very alive.

M-Marriage Date: November 29th, 1996

N-Number of Siblings: 5 Sisters and 2 Brothers

O-Oranges or Apples: Apples

P-Phobias or Fears: I hate even the thought of someone touching my feet

Q-Quote
: "Now that I look back, it seems to me that in all that deep darkness a miracle was preparing. So I am right to remember it as a blessed time, and myself as waiting in confidence, even if I had no idea what I was waiting for." Marilynne Robinson, Gilead.

R-Reason to Smile: Bridget wearing a crown to do yard work with me. And to eat breakfast in her high chair. (And that she hands me the crown and earrings when she needs to go potty because she doesn't want her precious jewels falling in the toilet.)

S-Season: Fall

T-Tag: I've worn out my welcome on tagging... maybe later.

U-Unknown fact about me: I haven't eaten an apricot or anything flavored with apricots since 1982.

V-Vacation destination of choice: A fancy beach house on any shore.

W-Worst Habit: Peeling the skin on the side of my thumbs when I'm nervous.

X-X-Rays or Ultrasounds: I'm with Angie on this one as well - who has a preference on this? Or a choice, really.

Y-your favorite food: It changes way too much. Right now my favorite food is Raisin Nut Bran Cereal because we're out of it and I'm hungry.

Z-Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

I left a comment, but it didn't take, so we'll do this again, which means there might be two from me...?

I remember well the old man who told you that your husband had to be your best friend. He had all kinds of helpful advice in those days.

The quote is beautiful.

Love the blogging poster.

I love the picture of Bridget in her jewels- that is EXACTLY why I was so excited to have a little girl! And why would anyone want them to touch their feet? Yuck.

I couldn't really think of what my quirks were until I read Allyn and Nicole's tags and found some of my quirks on them, so I'm going to wait til you all answer the tag then let you know what ones you got from me. I'll let you guess which ones I passed on. :) Allyn has two (sorry).

I think it's the feet touching. It can't be the apricots, although you were the one who made the apricot syrup that ended up being the last apricot-anything I ever ate.
