In 26 Letters

D. Dogs: Archibald Dylan the miniature apricot poodle. He lives with my mom, but I know is doggie heart is with me.
E. Essential start to your day: Breakfast. I often wake up specifically because my tummy is growling in my sleep. Sometimes I get started on breakfast before I even pee or drink water in the morning. Two other things that are also essential starts. Finally, there’s coffee. A whole french press of it (no shame).
F. Favorite color: Orange, brown, yellow. In that order.

Source. The river is brown and stinky.
M: Mom’s name: Christina, although her family calls her Chrissy.
N: Nicknames: Sus, Susie, Sue, Susie Q. I like Susie best, sounds less old lady-like than “Susan.”
O: Overnight hospital stays: Spent two nights in the hospital this past February when I shattered my elbow. I never mentioned it, but I shared a room with a screaming crazy lady who’d broken her hip. Everyone kept apologizing to me for her, but I was too hyped on pain meds to really care.

Q: Quote from a movie: “The fat man walks alone.” Name that movie!!

T: Time you wake up: Usually around 7-8am. I haven’t been using an alarm clock lately, just my body clock!
U: Underwear: Anything that won’t create panty lines. I live in yoga pants people.
V: Vegetables you dislike: Turnip and arugula. Both are too bitter.
W: What makes you run late: The internet! I start by going on the computer just to check my e-mail before I leave. Twenty minutes later I’ve been sucked into watching whatever YouTube video is viral that week and I’m not where I should be going to.
X: X-rays: Ugh. Too many to count at this point. A few when I was little because of a fractured elbow and sprained finger. Since my skating accident a couple months ago I’ve have around 10 x-rays and two CT scans. I’ve actually started asking for a lymph guard when I get x-rays because I’m beginning to worry about the radiation risk.
Y: Yummy food you make: I make a lot of good food, but I think my chocolate chip cookies are the best.
Z: Zoo favorite animal: NOT monkeys. The creepy bastards.
