Bits for Sunday, September 6, 2009

I have had a VERY busy week (see post below for details on that) so I don't have anything meaningful for you today. I'm so sorry. I found this little "get to know you" list on a blog and decided it would work for this week's Bits. Enjoy!


A is for Age… 31. That still seems so strange to me. I am growing accustomed to it, though. When it first arrived, I blamed everything in life on my age. Over and over, I’d say “It’s probably because I’m 31.”

B is for Bed… I have a “cheater” king bed. I can’t get a king mattress into my room, so I have two twin mattresses pushed together with a foam connector running down the seam to make it work as one bed. Love my bed! The cats love it too. I accidentally knocked Kaegan out this morning because I didn’t know he was there. Woops!

C is for Chore… HATE cleaning litter boxes. And the toilet. See a theme there?

D is for Dog… I once had a Chihuahua named Lassie. You may stop laughing now. Seriously. Stop!

E is for Essential… I m-u-s-t have a fan running while I sleep! If I don’t have white noise, I can’t sleep at all. Makes vacations fun when I’m sharing a room with someone who can’t sleep WITH one.

F is for Favorite… TV show coming back this fall? The Biggest Loser! I’m actually watching a marathon of an old season of it right now. Love watching those transformations. And I cry nearly every show of every season. I’m sure that shocks you. But it’s just so beautiful when they succeed!

G is for Gold… And I don’t have any broken, mismatched, or unwanted amounts of it to send to Cash 4 Gold. I hate their commercials.

H is for Height… 5’6” – taller on a good hair day! Tallest person in my family too, thankyouverymuch.

I is for Instrument… I took piano lessons for eleven years. I can play chopsticks. Sort of.

J is for Job… which is what I’m very thankful to have, even when it makes me feel like I am truly going to lose my mind.

K is for Kids… and since I don’t have any, I can sleep through the night and until eleven on Saturdays if I so desire. But God has blessed me with great kiddos all over the place that have adopted me as an aunt, and I love them!

L is for Living… the best year of life yet! I am having (seriously!) the greatest year ever. And there are many more fun plans waiting in the wings between now and Christmas!

M is for Mustard… I despise everything about mustard, but I adore honey mustard. My favorite is Bob Evans’ honey mustard. I buy it by the pint.

N is for Nickname… Well, for being the girl whose parents did not like nicknames, rendering me “Rebekah” for all my growing up years, I seem to have quite a few now! I was dubbed “Princess” in college and a bunch of my college friends still call me that. Bekah Boo...Bekah Roo...Bekah Bek...many others. I also answer to Julie, since most people get me mixed up with my sister.

O is for Overnight… which is how quickly I wish my hair would grow! I hate waiting!

P is for Pasta… Oh yes please! Bring me my carbs! I love pasta and eat a lot of it – especially in the winter. It’s great comfort food.

Q is for Quote… the one I used yesterday during lunch at work was from Friends. Do you know who said it? “I grew up with Monica! If you didn’t eat fast, YOU DIDN’T EAT!”

R is for Right… “I know, right?!?!?!?” I spent most of my shopping day out with Julie teaching her how to appropriately use that phrase!

S is for Sibling... rivalry. Something my sisters and I never experienced in the traditional sense. Not much to rival with our age gap!

T is for Time… to SLEEP! I have missed doing that lately. Two hours of a blissful nap this afternoon greatly helped my mood.

U is for Under… the weather is what I so fear happening in the next couple of weeks. Students and all their germies have descended upon campus. It’s a swine flu festival waiting to happen.

V is for Vegetable… I’ve heard of those.

W is for Watermelon… I l-o-v-e watermelon, and I’m quite excited about the seedless ones!

X is for X-Ray… Had one once. I was eleven and had fallen off my bike. They were trying to determine if my leg was broken, but the spot in question was directly on a growth “line” in my bone, so they couldn’t tell if there was also a fracture. I spent a whole weekend flat on my back until the specialist could read the x-ray on Monday.

Y is for Yummy… which is what I think about Culvers! We just got one and yesterday was my first time to go! MMMMMMMM mixers....

Z is for Zoo… Didn’t make it there this year. Love the dolphin show the best!

LOL i sure did! And there's a number of them I'm sure I've been called at work that I'm purposely forgetting. :)
