A - AGE
I think I am 32 . . . mmmmm . . . calculating . . . yes, 32!
B - BEST DAY EVER
My my wedding day - so cliche. We got married under a bridge (that kinda makes me sound like a hobo) and had the reception in a museum. The dancing was off the chain that night!
C - CAT
I have a cat named Lou. She weighs a million pounds and just lays around all day. When she gets mad she goes potty on the floor. But, I still love her.
D - DOG
We have a dog named Tilly. Our pooch is cooler than cool and she goes everywhere with us.
E - EVERY DAY
I gotta have my coffee with almond milk (sometimes soy) each and every morning or I turn into a huge hag. Just one cup!
F - FOOTBALL
Is it football season, yet?? I don't have a pro team I follow - I am all about my fantasy players. I may love 'em one year and hate 'em the next if they aren't on my team :) I also love to watch the OREGON DUCKS play. Yes, my fall/early-winter weekends are quite consumed by the pigskin.
G - GLUTEN-FREE
Not by choice!! My grumpy gut made this decision for me.
H - HAPPY
I have been told that I am a very happy person. I am typically very upbeat and positive lady. My mom even calls me her Pollyanna. I used to play the glad game as a kid.
I - ICKY
Bugs, snakes, and other creepy crawly things.
J - JOBS
Teaching wasn't my first career out of college. My first degree was in Journalism/PR. I worked for a variety of different companies (including two television stations) and it just didn't "fill me up."
K - KIDS
We're trying . . .
L - LOVE
I absolutely love getting into a hot car. It doesn't matter if it is a zillion degrees outside. It's that initial burst of heat that just warms my heart. But, after a minute or two, I get over it :)
M - MY MAN
Travis is my leading man. We started dating four years ago and our connection is so cool. My mom and his dad were best buds growing up and lived across the street from each other. Then, my mom taught Trav in first grade. Finally, Travis lived across the street from my grandmother for years when he was growing up. The timing was never right for us until a chance encounter one very special 4th of July!
N - NICKNAMES
Good heavens . . . what don't I get called??!! Growing up my parents referred to me as toots, Kell-Bell, sunshine, and pickleberry. My friends call me Kell or KB . . . now KD :) My loving husband calls me stinky.
O - OCTOBER
Who doesn't love their birthday month??! I love Halloween too (it's my fave).
P - PET-PEEVES
Loud chewing grosses me out . . . I fixate on it and loose my appetite.
Q - QUOTE
"Be conscious of the single blessing of breathing." - Unknown
R - RAD
I still use this word quite often.
S - SECRET SINGLE BEHAVIOR
When Trav is at work I often pump the music and dance around. Do you have a secret single behavior?
T - TELEVISION
The shows I never miss are . . . Dexter, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Workaholics, and Newsroom. I also catch these most every week . . . Storage Wars, Restaurant Impossible, and Hotel Impossible. The best show in the history of shows . . . Six Feet Under.
U - UNKNOWN FACT
I often feel guilty when I am not working. It's kinda silly, but I don't like sitting around and I always feel like I could be doing more.
V - VACATION
I heart me a good tropical vacay! Hawaii is always a great choice for me - we live in Cali and it's an easy flight.
W - WHAT MAKES YOU LATE
Blogging and blog stalking. I always wait until the very last minute to log out and I "push it" way too much!
X - X-RAYS
I have had way too many of these! Broken foot, broken hand, broken colon.
Y - YUMMY FOODS
I love pizza with a side of PBR . . . both of which are off limits right now. Someday I'll get back to cheesy/wheat goodness. Someday.
Z - ZILLIONS OF TIMES
I don't typically watch movies over and over, but there are a few that I have to stop on if they are on TV. In no particular order . . . Ghostbusters, Shawshank Redemption, and Jaws.Wowza . . . there you be folks. The ABCs of little old me. If you haven't already, pop on over to Amy's blog and join in the linky fun!

Rad is a great word. X-rays are no fun, I've had too many of those too! Have you tried the Couch to 5K for getting back into running? I got the app on my phone and it's been really great - because otherwise I always push myself too hard and then give up. Just a thought.

I love it . . . I used Couch to 5K today!!! Great minds think alike :) I can't run if I don't get to walk every now and again. And, this program actually tells you to stop running. Be still my heart! Thanks for visiting Laura!
ReplyDeleteLove the ABC idea for the Linky! We have several things in common! Dogs, 1 cup of coffee a day, the kid situation, October birthday, and My Secret Single Behavior is the same! haha.. especially to songs that the hubby would make fun of me for even listening to!
ReplyDeleteI'm also getting ready to start running again- hopefully going to do a few 5K's this fall. I haven't done much of it since this spring. We have started riding bikes lately though and I really like it!

I so need a bike! I want a cruiser super bad . . . but, our neighborhood isn't all that great for it. Love that you dance around too. I typically pick crazy techno or dance hits (my hubs least fave) or 80's tunes to bust a move to. Thanks for stoppin' by!
DeleteMy husband is way into biking (he's doing a triathlon this weekend), so we have hybrid bikes. I didn't want anything fancy, but now that we have them I love it! I actually only live 3.5 miles from school, so I hope to ride my bike to school every now and then. That should win me some "cool teacher" points, right???
DeleteOctober is my birthday month too! I also feel guilty when I'm not working but blogging and TpT have helped that!
ReplyDeleteSara :)
Smiling In Second Grade
October is the BEST! And you are so right . . . blogging and TPT have definitely helped in the "working" department :) Thanks for chattin' Sara!
DeleteLove it!! That's so funny that your mom was Travis's 1st grade teacher! Isn't it funny how things turn out? Our secret single behavior is pretty similar except I specifically like jamming out (loudly) to my favorite teeny bopper favs like Nsync and Britney! That and eating food in bed.

Falling Into First
Yay . . . hi friend!! I jam out LOUDLY too! Hopefully the neighbors like my music :)
DeleteSo much to comment on... *Tilly is such a pretty girl! *I used to play the 'glad' game all of the time when I was a kid. Some siblings did not appreciate it. *My Secret Single Behavior is to watch reruns of Sex and the City. I put my husband through it when it was first on the air; I'd hate to do it multiple times. The other is to rummage through my closet and create new outfits (or hideous ones.) *Love October, I almost had an October wedding but the stinking hurricanes put a damper on our plans. *Ghostbusters is hilarious and I quote from it all of the time. "Get Her!" :) Bill Murray is my boy. *Sorry about your colon. It sounds like your surgery has kept you from requiring a bag. That's good. I still feel sore about having to have a colonoscopy before my parents. I don't want to go back to my Gastro doctor because I'm afraid he is going to tell me it's time for another!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it to the linky. Better late than never (says the girl who is consistently late.)
~Andi
We have SO much in common!! From October and Sex and the City to colon issues, we are in lock-step! Bill Murray is my absolute fave too. I used to rewind that "GET HER!" part over and over as a kiddo. He is hands-down the best thing about that movie (and pretty much all of the movies he is in). I go see my doc on Friday and I am totally dreading it. As you know, it is never a pleasant experience . . . ewwwww! Thanks for coming by Andi :)
DeleteI LOVED reading this and getting to know you better! Cute idea of doing the ABC's of you!

Thanks Leanne . . . I totally stole the idea from Teri and Hadar. It was super fun to do it this way :)
Deletelololol!!! The glad game!! You crack me up :) Tilly is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHa! A little "Pollyanna" goes a long way :) Thanks for coming by again Kristen. I am officially out of the "funk!"
DeleteYay for October babies!! :)

A Cupcake for the Teacher
Yes! I found someone else that hates the sound of chewing as much as I do!!!!! Can't stand it! Fun learning more about such a sweet person!!
ReplyDeleteAwww . . . you are too nice to me girl. Your comment made my night. From one loud chewer hater to another, let me leave you with a final thought . . . noisy eating in a movie theatre. I darn near have to walk out :)
DeleteSo fun to learn more about you! Cute idea! I too HATE loud chewing {{shudder}} especially gum... gag!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha . . . loud gum sounds like a cow and it's all "spitty!" ICKY!!! Thanks for swinging by today!!
DeleteI love Restaurant Impossible too!! I hope the dancing at my wedding someday will be off the chain too! I was just telling somebody that if no one dances at my wedding, or if the dance floor is not full, it will probably ruin my whole day!! Haha!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous Multiagers!
RI rocks . . . we rarely miss it. When the kitchens are dirty I always start freaking out and the hubs has to calm me down. Wedding dancing is the best! And, don't worry . . . it tends to just magically happen! Thanks so much for swinging by, Jill!
DeleteLove me some Dexter and pizza! This is usually our Sunday night routine. Ghostbusters??? Just watched it twice {yep, twice} in the past week. But I can only watch Shawshank if it's not on commercial tv. Happy to know more about you!

Hahahaha . . . I watched Ghostbusters last week too! I am so excited for the new season of Dexter. Have you seen the previews? Oh my, what is he going to do now?? Thanks so much for droppin' by :)
DeleteLove how you two knew each other----and then had perfect timing!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!!

DeleteHi Kelley - Oh my goodness, your dog is so beautiful. Love October babies - I have an October baby, she turns 19 this year! I need to check out Newsroom, I know I'm gonna like it. It was so great reading about you:)
