Project 52~ Week 16

Someone asked what kind of car I'm driving. I've never ever purchased a car. For 11.5 years I had a company car. When I resigned in February, K*dak picked up the company car. Since my sister commutes between San Antonio and Omaha, I've been driving her car, a VW Beetle. Today I washed it, it looks cute.

Project 52~ Week 15

I Planted~

Definitely out of my comfort zone, just being outdoors is out of my comfort zone. I am excited about the Basil. I hope it grows well and doesn't die. Basil is so expensive at the grocery store and I love it.

ABC's~ (I'm Still Here)

A. AREA CODE : Oh my gosh, I hated to give up my 713 (Houston) area code when I started my new job but I chose to 'port' my cell phone # (no home #, waste of money). Porting my phone # meant K*dak paid the entire bill so they owned the phone #. When I left the company I lost the phone #, which I knew when I decided to port the #. My new area code is 210.

B. BED SIZE: Queen. For the record, there is a major difference in a queen and a full sized bed. In 2006, I was in NYC with the girls. When we arrived to our hotel and entered our room, we thought the hotel had made a mistake and given us 2 twin sized beds. We called the front desk, they informed us our room had 'full' sized beds. What??? That night my friend, Maria, and I spooned. Please don't judge me, we didn't have a choice & we didn't enjoy it.

C. CHORE YOU HATE: Just one? Ironing and I seem to do it all the time.

D. DOG'S NAME: No time = no pets. However, my sister has the best dog in the world, a Maltese named Daisy. Jenn and I have discussed who they would leave Daisy to in their will.. I got dibs, y'all!

E. ESSENTIAL "START THE DAY!" ITEM: Diet Coke!

F. FAVORITE COLOR: Pink

G. GOLD OR SILVER: Both

H. HEIGHT: 5' 2.5"

I. INSTRUMENTS YOU PLAY: None

J. Job: Beyond thankful and very busy, gotta love the 1st year learning curve

K. KIDS: I have no desire to reproduce. However, never say "Never." Be careful what you say you'll never do. Right? I want to adopt but I'm open to reproduction.

L. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: Rent a townhouse, can't commit to buying a house or even a car payment. I have issues. ;)

M. MOM'S NAME: Janet

N. NICKNAME: I've been called "Jilly" and "Jilly Bean." Not a huge fan.

O. OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY: No

P. PET PEEVE: Too many to count... just kidding, but not really. Being Micro-managed, inappropriate PDA, rude people, etc...

Q. QUOTE FROM A MOVIE: Guess I'm kinda shallow, some of my favorite quotes are from Legally Blonde.

Elle: "It has come to my attention that the maintenance staff is switching our toilet paper from Charmin... to generic. All those opposed to chafing, please say 'Aye'."

Elle: "I'm able to recall hundreds of details at the drop of a hat."
Margo: "Hey Elle, do you know what happened on Days of Our Lives yesterday?"

Elle: "Why, yes, Margo, I do! Once again we join Hope in her search for identity. As you know, she was brainwashed by the evil Stephano."

R. RIGHTY OR LEFTY?: Righty

S. SIBLINGS: Sister and Brother (both younger)

T. TIME YOU WAKE UP: As late as possible every morning but for the most part 7:00 AM. At my new job I make my own schedule. All my training sessions start at 10:00 AM. I love it but I still wake up around 7:00... lots to do.

U. UNDERWEAR: Hanky Panky... they'll change your life

V. VEGGIE YOU DISLIKE: I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms but I'll eat them. I WILL eat anything served to me. I think it's rude and immature not to. Although I don't love mushrooms, I recently had the mushrooms at Flemings... YUM!

W. WAYS/REASONS YOU ARE LATE: Issues waking up, the computer, and ironing.

X. XRAYS YOU'VE HAD: A few. I definitely do NOT blog about everything I do or everyting going on. I might hang out with friends or have a major event (or an xray) and not blog about it. Blogging isn't fun when people expect things.
