ABC, Now You Know Me

I know I have not blogged in a looooong time. Honestly, I just have not been able to find the energy. But I feel so sad every time I see this poor neglected blog. So I figured I would remedy that, but in a non picture, very quick and easy way. => My friend Tess posted this cute get to know you try thing on her blog. So I figured, this would be an easy fun way to update the blog. Here goes nothing:

Age: 22

 Bed size: Queen, would LOVE a Cal King tho

Chore you hate: Cleaning the bathrooms. Yes, this is a chore that especially has to happen often, but there is something about cleaning the things where your "unwanteds" (aka, bowel movements, dirty body stuff, nasty spit, etc) go that just makes me cringe. I do it, but definitely do not enjoy it.

Dogs: I did not have a dog growing up, and am actually allergic to most of them. I have always liked the idea of dogs but I dont like the nitty gritty  of it. If I could have a dog that is always clean, doesnt: smell, poop, lick, slobber, etc. Then I would be fine with a cute dog. =>

Essential start of your day: Well normally its a kiss from Jared. He always kisses me before he goes to work. And I LOVE it!  But since this pregnancy, the essential essential part is food. I have to wake up & immediately eat something, or there is no way to get thru the day.

Favorite color: Blue and yellow, the happy shades of them. There is just a joyful quality about those colors that I love.

Gold or silver: Well, my wedding ring is white gold, which is gold, except its silver. I guess I'm 50/50.

Height: 5'8"

Instruments I play (or have played): I took piano lessons for almost my whole childhood (can not play now), played Cello for 2 years, and have been singing since I was little (in countless choirs and shows)

Job title: SAHM. (Stay At Home Mom).. The HARDEST job I  have ever had to do.

Kids: Yes. One 16month old girl, and one on the way.

Live: In Utah. (really, its still hard to admit that, even after 2 years of living here and building a house). Have lived in: Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Colorado.

Mom's name: Robin

Nickname: Shay, Lys, Lyssa, Lyssa Shay, Angel. Then all the ones Jared has for me (Babe, Beautiful, Gorgeous, etc) 

Overnight hospital stays: Giving Birth: 2010. There might be others I just cant remember.

Pet peeve: Chewing with mouth opened. That noise it makes just gets so under my skin! Oh I am just getting irked thinking about it. haha

Quote from a movie: "

Right or left handed: I write with my right hand, but everything else is left. (eating, batting, kicking, throwing, etc)

Siblings: 1 sister, 4 brothers, all younger.

Time you wake up: Normally around 9, when Paige wakes up. Also, throughout the night for pregnancy reasons and baby not sleeping reasons. Oh to get one solid full nights sleep, but I guess I have quite a few years before I will be able to have that again. haha

Underwear: Religious, not so cute kind, but oh so wonderful!

Vegetables you dislike: There used to be none. I absolutely love vegetables. But when I was pregnant with Paige I ate brussel sprouts and it did NOT go over well. I have not been able to eat them since. Bummer.

What makes you run late: Genetics. I don't know any other way to explain it. I am ALWAYS running late. No matter what I do. It drives my husband crazy, and I am always trying to get better. But being late is just a fact of life with me.

X-rays you've had done: Teeth, jaw, lungs/ribs, hips, arms, and I am sure much more.

Yummy food you make: I am not, nor have I ever been a chef. But I am slowly learning. The things I can make, and well, are: Chilie, Roast, Fudge, Oreo Truffles, Cream Puffs, Cake & cupcakes, and smoothies. Its pretty sad most of them are desserts huh? haha We know where my priorities are. =>

Zoo animal: Giraffes. They are so majestic and graceful. Its interesting to watch them move. Tigers too, for the same reasons, but in a different light, if that makes sense.

Hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little more. I would love for you to fill it out so I can know more about you! =>
