I'm It!!

As in, I've been tagged to complete a survey by Courtney, so here goes...

What is your current obsession? Trying to figure out what about my cloth-diapering regimen is giving Anna a rash. Oh, and writing blog posts (with lots of parentheses and ellipses) and reading other folks' blog posts...and checking Facebook 2-3 times daily to see if Baby Slinkard or Baby Behnke has arrived, I love baby excitement.

What do you think your name says about you? I think Angela sounds melodramatic and big 80's hair-ish (makes me think of Angela on "Who's the Boss?"). But almost nobody calls me that except John occasionally (he likes it). And it means "angelic"...hahahha. None of that describes me, except that I do get dramatic when there is no chocolate in the house.

Who was the last person you hugged? Well, I've held Anna for most of the morning cause she's a little fussy, not sure if that counts as a hug. Will gets most of the hugs around here, he loves a good bear hug.

What’s your favorite dinner? If I'm cooking, an all veggie dinner in the summer (corn on the cob, fried okra, sliced tomatoes, field peas). If I'm not cooking--a yummy steak dinner, ideally with some mashed potatoes and asparagus, complete with some kind of good chocolatey dessert. (I could cook that, but pricey meat is too much pressure in the kitchen.)

What was the last thing you bought? Some fabric to make sofa pillow covers from JoAnn fabrics (not that I have time to do that now, but home decor fabric was 40% off so I couldn't resist).

What are you listening to right now? I was in the middle of a Law and Order marathon when Anna finally allowed me to put her down--it's still on the TV. (By the way, isn't Jeff Goldblum a brilliant choice as new detective? I love his weirdness.)

What is your favorite weather? Can't beat Courtney's answer--75 degrees and sunny. (Unless I somehow have the day off with time for a nap--then I love a little rain.)

What is your least favorite season? In Florida, I don't enjoy summer unless I'm at the beach or pool--it's just tooooooo hot.

What's in your bathroom cabinet? Our medicines (I know, the humidity isn't good for meds, but it's the most convenient spot).

Say something to the person/s who tagged you. Hi Courtney! I'm honored to be tagged. :-)

What is your favorite tea flavor? Plain old iced tea (not instant), slightly sweet with lemon. I occasionally drink hot chai tea. But overall, I prefer coffee as my caffeine vehicle.

What did you want to become as a child? Well, I remember that Missy and I both went through a period of planning to be stay at home moms of multiples living in RV's--I believe in Michigan. Random. Other choices--teacher, architect, OB/Gyn (because I do love babies!).

What do you miss? Right now, after looking at Lea's pictures from NC, I'm missing NC big time. Spring up there was gorgeous, and I love the mountains.

What's your favorite brand of jeans? I don't have a favorite brand. My favorite pair is a pair of Lucky Jeans I bought almost 8 years ago--they have a fairly low waistline, so I've been able to wear them midway into both pregnancies and they were one of the first articles of normal clothing I was able to wear after having Will. (And, no, they don't fit quite yet--I tried a few days ago, sigh.) I also love maternity jeans--those elastic waistbands are fantastic (the low ones, not the overbelly ones!).

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? Smoky Mountains, see above.

What is your most challenging goal right now? Today--cleaning this house. Figuring out where we're going to live in about 8 weeks. Potty-training Will.

What’s your 5 year plan? I think this is the first time in my life I don't really have one--we don't plan to move cities or change jobs right now. I don't know if we're going to have any more children. I hope Will's potty-training doesn't become a five-year plan.

Bonanno's or Jack Rogers? I had to Google both of those after reading Courtney's post. I like them both, with a slight preference for those ones with flowers on them. I think those were the Bonanno's--I'm a sucker for flowered clothing, in case you haven't seen the pictures of Anna's head.

What is my favorite sport to watch? Da, da-da-da-da Go Gators!!! UF Football. I used to watch pro football too, but can't be bothered with that now.

To play? I am terribly uncoordinated. I am enjoying Wii Hula-Hooping, though. :-)

What is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Besides my engagement ring, I love the necklace John got me for our 2nd wedding anniversary--it is a tiny diamond cross. I stopped wearing it for a year after Will was born because I was afraid he'd tug on it and break it--and Anna managed to get her fist around it the other day, so I think I'm gonna retire it for a year again.

If you could only listen to one band/artist for the rest of your life, what who would it be? I have no idea. I've been listening to the Oak Ridge Boys for my entire life so far and I'm not tired of them, so maybe them. I have the world's worst taste in music, it's my parents' fault. Long road trips listening to ORB, Kenny Rogers, and Time Life Best Hits of the Late 60's. So now I have mixed CD's in the car with country songs mixed with current pop songs mixed with contemporary Christian songs...so John begs to listen to the radio when he's in my car.

Now I should be tagging someone--but Courtney tagged the only bloggers that might read my blog (that I know of--if anybody else reads this and has a blog, let me know and I'll tag you pronto)!

So instead, I'll urge anyone who reads this and doesn't have a blog to start one. It's easy and FREE (and if you already have a Gmail account, you don't even have to memorize a new password). Just go to the main Blogger page and follow the directions. And, as I have clearly demonstrated in the past, you don't have to have very much going on to come up with blog posts. So get going, and send me your blog sites, I'd love to read them!!
