A Little Bit About Me

September26

I’ve found that some of the blogs I enjoy the most are the ones where I know a little about the person behind it. So, I picked this up from A Sorta Fairy Tale and thought I’d complete it A-Z. Some of these questions are not the ones I’d ask (or answer) but sometimes what other people want to know is what they want to know!

More book and country related posts this week…

A. Age: 57
B. Bed size: King (& pillow-top) and I can’t imagine going smaller now
C. Chore that you hate: Cleaning the toilets
PWes & Farlow D. Dogs: Wes, a yellow Lab and Farlow, whose mom is a Valley Bulldog & dad is presumed to be a German Shepherd. All of our dogs have been named after guitar players (Django Reinhardt, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, Wes Montgomery, Tal Farlow)
E. Essential start to your day: swing my legs over the edge of the bed!
F. Favourite colors: Wedgewood blue, soft gold and forest green
G. Gold or Silver: Silver

Q. Quote from a movie: it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. (Casablanca 1942)
R. Right or left handed: Right handed.
S. Siblings: four, all younger
T. Time you wake up: Usually between 7 & 8 a.m. (I used to be in the office every day at 7:30, so this is sleeping in)
U. Underwear: Yes
V. Vegetable you hate: Fennel
W. What makes you run late: Trying to do just one more thing…
X. X-Rays you’ve had: Dental, my arm, my foot, my other foot…c’mon I’m nearly sixty, there’s likely lots more I can’t remember
Y. Yummy food that you make: pasta with fresh garlic, tomatoes & basil
Z. Zoo animal: Elephant. I’ve always had a weakness for them.

And I love to get know my readers. What about you – want to answer one of these?

This was fun! I love it! It is a great way to get know somebody. You learn a little about a lot of different things. I love how you name your dogs after guitar players.

Mrs. J, the guitar player name thing is my husband’s idea – since he’s the guitar player 🙂

Welcome, Sue! I think it’s going to be a mutual unveiling since I’m learning lots at Whispering Gums. 🙂

Fun! I love learning more about the blogger behind the books. Your U answer made me laugh 🙂

I like learning about bloggers, too, Stacy – and as for ‘U’ – it’s on a need-to-know basis 🙂

I’m new to your blog, so this was the perfect place to start! I would so love to see where you live…I’ve flown over NS, but never managed to visit (furthest east I’ve been was Quebec City) which is a great disappointment to me. I’m the same age as you 🙂

You’re one up on me, Jodie – I’ve never even flown over England. Welcome to Exurbanis!
