Everyone else is doing it so...

As I've been browsing lots of new blogs during ICLW, I've noticed lots of people doing the A-B-Cs. And since I have nothing to report on the IF front (yes, the waiting is still killing me, ugh) and I'm a joiner copy-cat, here we go!

A - The first letter of my IRL first name

B - My hubby's IRL nickname

C - Cats! I love all cats, pictures of cats, and can watch endless you.tub.e videos of cats

D - dining out, a favorite hobby of mine

E - Eggs, I hated them all my life until 3 years ago. Now I love and crave them.

F - Foodie, yeah I'm one of those smug people that know too much about food and wine

G - Grey hair - at 36 I'm amazed how many I have (and subsequently dye)

H - heights, i'm afraid of them, but force myself to confront it

I - I'm of Italian ancestry. Ciao!

J - I love listening to Jazz, especially while driving and on weekend mornings

K - karma, something I think exists more and more these days

L - Liz, my cute-as-can-be niece. I love her and she breaks my heart all at the same time

M - mom, I love mine, and want to be one very badly!

N
- nuts along with...
O - ...olives and...
P - ...popcorn (homemade on the stove only!) are my favorite snacks

Q - questions - I always have tons, but forget them when its time to ask them

R - restraint, something I'm not known for IRL

S - swimming, which I grew up doing competitively, and recently started doing again

T - Tea, I drink it every morning instead of coffee

U - Umps, my cat's nickname (and she thinks is her real name, because we never call her by her given name)

V - video camera, what I've been wanting to buy recently. Maybe one of those Flip ones.

W - Wrigley Field, the best place to spend an afternoon. Go Cubs!

X - I got nothing. X-ray? I'm not very X-rated? Lame, I know. Sorry.

Y - Yelp - I love this site!

Z - the first letter of my IRL last name. And Zappos, what a great store!!

Well, that was fun, and harder than it looks.

  1. I believe in Karma too!

    Thank you for the comment on my blog. I am trying to cling to sanity here. The reason why I am not on the phone right now is because I have been blindsided so often previously, that I can't afford to look like a fool again. I would POAS, and AF would come. I would tell my OB, that I was late, and in 20 mins my AF would come....can't tell you what see-saw I have been sitting on, you know.

    Thank You...pray that it is a BFP.

  3. Hi from ICLW!

    I really liked your ABC's! I have the flip camera and like it, too. I wish we had a little more to record, but it's super easy and fun. What kind of tea do you drink? My husband is British, so we drink PG Tips in the morning - super tasty!

    Good luck with the far-away clinic!

  6. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love that you're a foodie, it's definitely a good thing to be. We should swap recipes - you have any classic ones that are always a hit? I was also a competitive swimmer in my formative years, I hate being out of the water!

  7. The best thing about the yo.utube cats is that they're not in my house. It's fun to see crazy antics, but I'm quite satisfied with my own mellow antic-free cat.

    Happy ICLW!

  9. The ABCs were cute. I haven't seen that yet. Sorry you are stuck in the waiting game. I know how that feels and it sucks. I love cats too (I can Has Cheezburger cracks me up) and am also a foodie who loves to cook.

  10. I am going to have to try this ABC thing next month, it looks hard but fun. I love cats too! We have two. I love videos of cats being silly also. There are some on Yahoo sometimes and it connects you to a bunch of others that are similar. Can't remember the link though, figures.......
    GL with patience during your wait!

  11. Hey A! Loved getting to know the ABC's of you! I think I'm going to give it a go next month.

  12. Thanks for your wishes! BTW, I was a competetive swimmer when I was younger too... only to give up and start again a year back as a volunteer at the Y (as an instructor)... but I had to stop that... it was going to be too much to handle (instructing) while I was high on shots! And I am too scared to swim during the constant 2WWs!
