I’m linking up with my friends, Elaine of The Miss Elaine-ous Life and Andrea of About 100% for a little Old School Blogging and this month is the ABC’s of me, a questionnaire of sorts.
Come play along! Copy and paste the words in bold below, write your post and link up.
Best. Quote. Ever.
B- Biggest Fear: Missing my children’s futures and having them both turn out like assholes.
C- Current Time: Nap time!
D- Drink you last had: Diet Coke
E- Easiest person to talk to: My 19 month old daughter.
F- Favorite Song: #41 by Dave Matthews Band
G- Grossest Memory: The time Lucas smeared poop on his bedroom wall. It was AWFUL. I wrote about it. Of course. (I’m Still In Shock, February, 2012)
H- Hometown: I was born in Amarillo, Texas but grew up overseas. Arizona was home for a long time and now, it’s wherever my children are.
I- In love with: My husband and children. And always in that order.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There’s such a lot of world to see.
J- Jealous Of: I wouldn’t mind being Beyoncé for a day.
K- Killed Someone? What the hell kind of question is that?
L- Longest Relationship: The one with myself.
M- Middle Name: Dawn
N- Number of Siblings: 1
O- One Wish: Ah. I wish more than anything that my parents were still alive.
P- Person who you last called: Lisa, my ray of sunshine friend.
Q- Question you’re always asked: Uppie?
R- Reason to smile: Topping the list today is Lucas’s latest family portrait:
Complete with disco ball (don’t ask!).
But I also love; a good sweat, starting a new book, my children’s laughter, finding time to write, sunflowers, smelling the sea, an iced Chai tea latte, date nights, fresh sheets, Christmas morning, Dateline, capturing the perfect photograph, green lights, a glass of Dreaming Tree Cab, spending time with my friends, my sister, Jimmy Fallon, the smell of rain, kindness, pizza, fast Internet connection, a good hair day, stop me anytime.
S- Song you last sang: Something annoying on KidzBop.
T- Time you woke up: 6:30
U- Underwear Color: I’m not wearing any. Shhh…
V- Vacation Destination: I’m dying to return to kiss under the Eiffel Tower again, but also look forward to seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, sipping a margarita on the beach in Cabo (hopefully next summer!!) and standing in the middle of Times Square sooner rather than later. (:
W- Worst Habit: Setting impossible expectations and being disappointed.
X- X-rays you’ve had: Mouth, leg, fingers and ankle. Nothing was ever broken.
Y- Your favorite food: Mexican… lime, cilantro, onion, jalapeno, avocado, chips, margaritas
Z- Zodiac Sign: Cancer, the crab. Explains so much.
Incidentally, I’ve done one of these before, ABC in June, 2013.
Your turn! Answer the questions, post them on your blog and then link up at Elaine’s or Andrea’s place (don’t forget to tag #OSBlog on Twitter when you share!)

Commando FTW! Also, it’s always better when your kids don’t turn out like assholes, that’s really my only goal in parenting! xox
I also wouldn’t mind being Beyonce for a day. But just for one day.
Because Jay-Z.
You squeezed my heart with your one wish. xoxo
Oh, your wish. Man, if it could be granted, I’d even give you mine. Lucas’ disco ball made me giggle.
Nap time is the best time! And yes, your wish… (((hugs))))
Mexican food IS so good. One of my favorites also. Love the family portrait.
Also, please explain “Uppie?”…. 🙂
A disco ball, chips and salsa and a little TRAIN for the ride, so wish we could hang out and just talk/giggle.
And if I could help you with that one wish, my friend, I’d make it come true every day.
Love you inside and out.
XO
Your kids cannot turn out to be jerks. They don’t have the genes for it.
I was so inspired by everything you love. It made me want to write a longer list to be reminded.
I worry about my kids turning out to be assholes too.
Here’s to non-assholic kids!
You are, quite literally, the only other person I’ve ever met who claims #41 as her/his favorite song.
We also happen to be freelance writers, Cancers, and moms who battled secondary infertility. But it’s the #41 thing that really made me go: “Schwuhhhh?!”
