Hello Sparkles and Shoes readers, Happy Monday! To the new followers from my 1,000 Follower Giveaway (which is still open until Friday and has over $500 in AWESOME prizes) and all of you loyal readers) I wanted to expand a bit on my ABOUT page. You all really liked the post And That’s Who I Am where I picked 20 images that described me so I thought I would do another variation of that idea but with a twist, here you go, all about me, from A to Z:
A – Available or married?
Available
B- Book?
I’m currently listening to MockingJay {the 3rd book of The Hunger Games}. Some may not count this as reading but I love listening to books on my commute to and from work. My all time favorite book is A Prisoner of Birth by a mystery novel by English author Jeffrey Archer.
C- Cake or Pie?
It depends on the flavor, Red Velvet cake and Key Lime pie.
D- Drink of Choice?
Diet Coke. Pinot Grigio. Vodka Soda. In that order.
E- Essential start to your day:
Pushing snooze at least once π and then hazelnut coffee
F- Favorite Color?
Royal Blue. No question.
G- Game to play or watch?
Play: Back Alley Bridge Watch: Georgetown Basketball!
H- Height?
5’7″, and a bunch of my friends still call me shorty!
I- Indulgence?
Sleeping in, yoga pants, and dark chocolate
J- Job?
I switched jobs just after the new year – I am now an Account Coordinator at a Digital Advertising Agency and I love it!
K- Kids and names?
None yet. I love Elise, Paige, and Lucy for girls and Luke and Blake for boys!
L- Life is incomplete without?
My family and friends and laughter.
M- Music group or singer?
I listen to dozens of different artists that I would recommend to friends so it is really hard to pick but I would have to say my go-tos are Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, The Fray, Matt Nathanson, and the Script.
N- Number of siblings?
One amazing brother! I love him dearly and I already have a big post that I am working on scheduled for his birthday in May.
O- Overnight hospital stays:
Reconstructive Knee Surgery
P- Phobias/Fears?
Is it bad that I can not think of one? I even researched the most common fears and while I really do not like spiders, snakes, lightening, injections, germs or dirt I would not say I am afraid of them.
Q- Favorite Quote?
This is the first question I was a bit stumped with, not because I do not have a favorite quote but because I have too many! My default is actually on my About Me page of this blog but today I am going to share a different one, one that was on the wall of the salon two weeks ago when I decided to chop my hair off!
R. Righty or Lefty:
Righty.
S- Season?
Definitely Spring because I get the full versatility of my wardrobe going from cold to warm and I know that summer is next!
T. Time you wake up:
8am on weekdays and on weekends I try and get up by noon.
U- Unknown fact about me?
I have met quite a few Olympians. Posts on this to come π
V. Vegetables you dislike:
I do not think I have one.
W. What makes you run late:
Not being able to find my keys.
X. X-rays you’ve had:
Too many to count, at least a dozen of my knee pre and post surgery
Y. Your Favorite Food:
Breakfast: Eggs Benedict Lunch: Caprese Sandwich Dinner: Penne ala Vodka Dessert: Anything with Dark Chocolate
Z- Zodiac
Libra, but I am not into astrological signs.
Think Pink! This October

I’m 5’3.5, so 5’7 could NEVER be short in my world. haha
I like listening to books in the car too! Especially long road trips.
Positively Amy says
This is fun! I LOVE listening to books as well! I used to do that in college all the time with novels (I was an English major). I had about a half hour commute to school my senior year so I’d listen to the books on my way there to get caught up! haha : )

I love your answers!!
Anmari ish says
So funny that as I was browsing through your Q&A I find quite a lot of things similar to my own personal choices except for the height, lol! I’m already a shawty and i know it.
It’s brilliant to reveal your personality randomly just by this Q&A. I’d probably make one for my one year anniversary on the blogosphere π
thanks for sharing hun!

I’m excited for this post about Olympians you’ve met. Royal Blue is one of my favorite colors too, but that’s probably because I’m a University of Kentucky alum! π Fun fact about me and olympians? I sold a dress to an Olympian for a swimming event that she was going to!
Anais Alexandre says
Oh! I love this! I’m so gonna do this on my own blog, what a cute way to get to know you better :>

I love this–and I’m impressed. I don’t know that I’d be able to find enough things to say about myself for the whole alphabet haha! I can’t believe you’re 5’7″ and your friends call you shorty. Are all your friends basketball players?!

Good to know more about you. Only thing I knew about you was that you are a fan of diet coke since you were two π
