All About Me, From A to Z

03/18/13 | books, wine

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 πŸ™‚ 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 πŸ™‚

 

 
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.
 
 
Signature

    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.

    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 : )

    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 πŸ™‚
    thanks for sharing hun!

    Key lime pie and red velvet cake are my FAVES!

    Your friends must be tall if they think you’re short! I’m 4’11” so everyone feels tall around me, haha!

    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! πŸ™‚ Fun fact about me and olympians? I sold a dress to an Olympian for a swimming event that she was going to!

    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?!

  25. Areeba says

    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 πŸ˜€
