ICLW February - The ABCs of Me (again...)

Good Morning Humble Readers...

I hope you are all well. I have been a bad blogger of late, which I will blame on dog-sitting, the olympics, and attempting to avoid thinking about the tww I'm coming onto the tail end of. I will get back into things here soon, I promise.

For those of you stopping by from ICLW, WELCOME to my cyber-hobbit hole. Pull up a comfy chair, help yourself to anything in the fridge, and peruse the bookshelves.

A while ago, I did the abc's of me... but it's been six months or so I think, so I thought it would be good to do again, and let you in on some of the more random aspects of who I am.

A - Alberta... my current home. I can't say that I'm a fan of the winters here (they go on forever!) but it's home.

B - Books... A life long obsession. I learned to read when I was 4 and I haven't stopped. I have books in every room of the hobbit-hole. Living room, kitchen, spare room, bedroom, and yes, even the bathroom. Too many to number.

C - Cooking... another obsession. I love trying new foods and new recipes. I'm currently trying to master the art of fabulous fried chicken.

D - My Beloved... my wonderful, loving, patient, funny, smart, wonderful (did I mention that?) partner on this crazy road.

E - Emily Hope... our first angel baby. Her EDD was April 1st, 2009. We lost her at 11 weeks, blighted ovum.

F - Farenheit... what I track my bbt temps in (rather than celcius).

G - Games... the olympic variety. My current obsession and major distraction. Canada isn't doing as well as hoped, but it's not for lack of trying.

H - Homebody... that's what I am. I love being at home, with my Beloved, curled up on the couch.

I - Infertility... it sucks. 'Nuff said.

J - Jesus... my saviour.

K - Klutz... that's me. This time of year is the worst for me. If I am going to injure myself, it's going to be now, when it's icy, but it's melting too.

L - Lima beans... can't stand them! Urgh!

M - Moved... what I have done a lot in my life. 59 times to be precise. 3 countries, 3 provinces, 3 states.

N - Net... the internet. Where I met my Beloved, and many many wonderful friends.

O - Olivia Noelle... Our second angel baby. Her EDD was August 18th, 2009. We lost her at 8 weeks, blighted ovum.

P - Pugs... I love them!! I hope to soon have one as a part of our family. We were looking after a precocious little guy for the last couple of weeks and it has rekindled my need for a snuffling, snorting, fur baby. The breeder we have been in contact with currently has a few pups available, so in the coming weeks we may be expanding our family.

Q - Quest... I'm in search of a lot of things. The perfect recipe for fried chicken, the roots of my family, a baby of our own.

R - Retail... my work, my frustration, my joy. I love being a bookseller, and for the most part I totally love my customers. There are those days tho...

S - School supplies... I am addicted to school supplies. Pens, pencils, notebooks... they all

T - TWW... two week wait for the uninitiated. The time between ovulation and when AF shows up. The insane time when I analyze every twinge, every possible symptom of pregnancy in hopes that this might just be the month. (yeah, right)

U - Unusual... that would describe my family make up. At one point in my life I had 6 parents.

V - Vegetarian... something I could NEVER be. I am an omnivore, and proud of it.

W - Wii... I am a fan of those crazy guys, Mario and Luigi, and am completely stoked that I finally got my hands on Super Ma.rio Broth.ers for the Wii.

X - X-cited... (a bad one, I realize) What I'm feeling about the new Alice in Wonderland movie.

Y - Youth and Family Ministry... that's what my degree is in. And yet I sell books for living. Go figure.

Z - Zealand, New... (I know it's weak) I really want to go there some day.

Well... that's me. Thanks for stopping by!
