I am trying to build a better self, to move from survival mode to something more fulfilling. And resist turning this into a kitty blog.

Powering through (aka: meme cop-out, Blogtoberfest day 6)

I am promising myself to make more substantive posts than outright fluff, but in this first week my priority is to just make sure I post something every day. After all, the key is fun, right? Not just arduous discipline? Besides, I'd be lying to everyone if I pretended I didn't take a certain shameful pleasure in filling out silly surveys. This one is sillier than many, but I've seen it around quite a bit in the last couple weeks, so I may as well get onboard. 

The A to Z of Me

A. Age: 33. Weird, I'm practically in my mid-30s. 
B. Bed size: Queen.
C. Chore that you hate: Laundry. When I have a washer and dryer in my home it's actually my favorite chore, but dealing with coin laundry logistics makes me hate it. Lucky Matt is willing to take that one on.
D. Dogs: To that I say, "KITTIES!" Dogs aren't allowed in our complex, but that's okay. Hamilton plays fetch and doesn't need to be walked.
E. Essential start to your day: Coffee. Boring, right?
F. Favourite color: Red. And teal. And turquoise. Not necessarily all together, but that's good too.
G. Gold or Silver: False dichotomy. Both, together. Though I do lean towards silver accessories more often. My wedding ring is white gold.
H. Height: 5'5"
I. Instruments you play: Voice. I would love to play guitar, but I am terrible at teaching myself stuff.
J. Job title: L1 Case Analyst, I guess. gag
K. Kids: I want some. We'll see if it happens.
L. Live: San Diego, California, USA
M. Mother's name: Valentina. I know, so pretty!
N. Nicknames: Girl (my parents), Lady (my husband). I used to have a bunch of nicknames, but they've faded away over time.
O. Overnight hospital stays: Nope. I had an outpatient procedure done once, but that's it.
P. Pet peeve: People who think their personal tastes should be the standards to which the world is held.
Q. Quote from a movie: "I am growing, I am changing" French Kiss
R. Right or left handed: Right
S. Siblings: 2 brothers, 21 months and 6 years younger than me.
T. Time you wake up: 7ish am on weekdays. 8-9ish on weekends.
U. Underwear: Yep. (?)
V. Vegetable you hate: Tomatoes are technically a fruit, I think, but I hate them. Also eggplant.
W. What makes you run late: What doesn't? Internet nonsense, creating play lists, reading, daydreaming...
X. X-Rays you've had: Lots of dental x-rays. Can't think of any others.
Y. Yummy food that you make: I make tasty dinners, especially winter meals. 
Z. Zoo animal: Giraffe
