Me, A - Z

I found this cool meme at Joanna´s blog The Fifty Factor. And since I love doing these kind of  meme´s I decided to join her. Most of the answers will be familiar to my regular readers, but maybe you´ll learn something new about me.

Age - in 14 years I´ll be able to legally retire (!!!) THAT scares me!

Bed Size - King. Enough room, so I can hide from a snoring hubby....lol

Chore You Hate - Cleaning the oven. That´s why I have a  cleaning lady.

Dogs - Two. Who knew we would be dog lovers?

Essential Start To My Day - Coffee. Black. Hot.

Favorite Color - depends on my mood. Sometimes blue, sometimes orange other times black.

Gold or Silver - White gold. :)

House or Apartment - House. 24 years, same house. And if it´s up to hubby we´ll never ever move anywhere else.

Instruments Played - Piano for about 3 years, but I hated practicing, so that was that.

Job Title - Wife/Mom/glorified secretary/friend

Kids - 2 girls, one son in law, one "son in law to be"

Live - in "feels like hell". Yesterday it was 44°C/111 F!!

Married - 33 years. (I had use a calculator for that...haha)

Never Again - After March 2nd, NEVER pay for and organize a wedding again! (don´t get me wrong, I LOVE doing this for/with my daughters, but over here it´s still the bride´s parents who pay for the whole event. This can be a bit hard on the budget...)

Other Fun Fact - I am a left lane driver (because I usually drive too fast...).

Pet Peeve - right lane drivers, who turn left, without merging into the left lane!! (very common around here)

Quote - “When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.” -Corrie Ten Boom

Righty or Lefty - Righty - So much so, that even my right arm is thinner than my left.

Siblings - Three sisters, one brother. I´m the bossy oldest.

Time You Wake Up - When hubby turns off the AC and get up, which is usually around 6:30.

University Attended - University of LIFE.

Veggies You Dislike - Most of them. I eat them because I know they are healthy, but could easily live without.

What Makes You Run Late - Like Joanna, NOTHING. I am always annoyingly early (ask my hubs)!

X-Rays - Arm, Foot, Teeth. All broken, one time or other....

Yum Food -So many. Ice cream, cake, French fries, lasagna and don´t forget chocolate! (do you see a theme? Maybe that´s why I can´t lose weight?).

Zoo Animal Favorite - Monkeys! Always love things/people/animals that make me laugh.


This was fun, you should join in and do this too. Like Joanna I´ll leave you with a list of the prompts and you can copy and paste them into your own blog post, if you decide to join us. Let me know, I´d love to read your answers!

Hi Betty! Loved your answers to this meme! I should check out Joanna's post. Thanks for the wedding info! I have two daughters, too, and although no weddings on the horizon, it's good to know! I always love your writing. It's so honest and fresh. Thanks!

This looked fun to do and I enjoyed reading it Betty. Might have to do it along the way; especially maybe "M" for meme for the A/Z challenge in April.

LOL with snoring husbands; they are commmon aren't they?

It is scary to realize how many more years we have to work until we can retire; 11 here but I'll probably be working forever the way this economy is :)

It must be hard to budget for a wedding, especially since you had two that were close together, but how exciting about it all!

This meme is a great way to get to know other bloggers. Your answers were fun to read....I knew some of them already, but some were new to me. I hope things are going well with your new puppy.

That was fun! I might have to give it a shot. I'm always early too! I can't stand being late..or, apparently, on time. LOL Love you new addition! Such a cutie! How are they getting along? What about wedding number 2? How's that going? Fill me in! Or, did I miss it all in a post or two back? I'll check! :)

Always enjoy learning more about you! I like these question prompts and might use them as inspiration for another post. Your heatwave has me thankful for our cold wave - although today is only -7/19 which is mild right now!! Off to wait for the phone company to install everything at our son's new place - that could take HOURS!! I've freed up the day to be able to help in some small way - can't do the physical moving any more!! Have a great February!!

Hi Betty, You always make me smile... and when I read about the wedding I nodded my head in agreement-- They can be brutal on the budget! I'm glad we're done with weddings in our family. Phew.

Hope things cool down for you soon.

111???? Oh my gracious! I don't think I've ever felt it that hot. I'm really liking the King sized bed too. We had to pay for the whole wedding too. We were a little luckier because we only had one daughter. On the other hand, we'd be happy to pay for our son's wedding if they'd only agree to marry.
