The Alphabet of G

So today I thought I'd do a meme. Just a little more info about me. I saw the idea on another blog and it piqued my interest. So here goes.

A is for age. 35.
B is for books I'm reading. Currently I'm reading Anna Karenina, Taking Back Childhood and Expecting Adam.
C is for car. I drive a '99 Subaru Forester, white, with lots of stickers. For my next car I'm thinking...another Subaru Forester. I love my car.
D is for dog. 1 male 2 year old lab/australian shepard named Pepe . He's finally getting to be a very good dog.
E is for exercise. I've been walking an hour every other morning in the hills around our house with Pepe, running for 30 minutes every other morning and another walk most evenings for around 20 minutes or so.
F is for fave TV show. I don't have one. I don't watch much TV. I guess I like to catch Oprah on occasion.
G is for groceries. I actually like to shop if I'm alone. If I'm with the monkeys, I honestly HATE it. Weekly essentials are yogurt, bananas, milk, bread, beer, honey nut cheerios and apples. I spend way too much and I'm trying to cut my average while sticking with my philosophy of buying local and organic as much as possible. I belong to a CSA which helps.
H is for husband. Mine is named R, he's 38, a realtor, loves to mountain bike, is a stress case, a former professional snowboarder and is very handsome.
I is for ice cream. I can't really eat it. It makes me very very ill if I eat more than just a little. I don't know why because I don't have a problem with dairy. But I love cookie dough.
J is for job. Well I guess I'm a realtor, but I only work a few hours a week helping R with the business. I consider being a stay at home mom my real job. I keep thinking I may get a part time job at REI or something. I did work for Novell as an auditor for 5 years before staying home with the monkeys.
K is for kids. Two. M is 8, Z is 5. That's plenty for me.
L is for lipstick. Mica from L'oreal. Worn it since Jr. High.
M is for marriage. September will mark 12 years. It has gone by pretty fast.
N is for number of piercings. I've had six. Four in one ear and two in the other. 2 have closed leaving two in each ear.
O is for optometry. Contacts and glasses. I'm really blind and would LOVE to have lasik.
P is for peeps. R and I have a fabulous group of friends. We hang a lot and I really love them all.
Q is for quiet time. For me that is a bath with a book. I'm cutting back to save water, but I LOVE me a long bath, especially in the winter.
R is for regret. One is that I never lived alone before getting married. I went straight from the 'rents to R's house. If life goes well, I'll never have that chance again. Other than that I try not to worry about the past.
S is for sports. I loved to play volleyball, basketball, softball and swim as a kid. As a young adult I snowboarded and kayaked a lot. Now, not much of anything. I like to run. I HATE watching sports on TV, thought I don't mind attending live games.
T is for tattoo. One on my ankle. It is a Pisces sign. It is faded and has bled and is very much just a blob now. I can't decide if I should remove it or see if I can have it redone. Would I get another? Sure, if I could design something with my kids initials or something really meaningful to me. Would I want my kids to have one? I don't think I'd mind as long as they weren't going crazy with them.
U is ultimate reality. I'd love to live in a small beach town, surf everyday, garden, read, walk, bike and just chill with my peeps.
V is for vegetables. I love them. I love asparagus, corn, peppers, pumpkins. I love to grow them too. I'm going to learn to can them this summer.
W is for worst habit. It's toss up between picking at every bump on my skin, and talking too much. And I've noticed I interrupt a bit. I've been working on that.
X is for number of x-rays. 2 that I can remember. One for a broken wrist and the other for plantar fasciitis.
Y is for yummy food. Tomatoes with garlic, basil, balsamic and olive oil. With crusty bread. Yum!
Z is for zodiac. I'm a Pisces. I think it fits though I haven't really found my creativity yet. But I will.

So a little about me.
