From A-Z All About Me


Giving credit where credit is due...I stole this from "Mean Girl Garage" (in my blog roll if you would like to read hers), who stole it from someone, who stole it from someone else. But of course, all the answers are original. 
I am sure most of you lie awake in your bed at night thinking of me. "Who is this White Oprah person? What is she like? She seems pretty cool but I would like to know more." 
Well wonder no more. A-Z all about me.  Enjoy. I am open to questions after, if this didn't take care of all you wonder about. 
A. Age: 39...streaking towards 40 at the speed of light. 
B. Bed size: Queen of course.
C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors. But thinking about this further, there really aren't any chores I like. I prefer laying on the couch, in my pajamas, eating M&Ms. 
D. Dogs: #1 Poncho-outside dog. My mother ran him over. She swears she didn't but she hated that dog for jumping all over us on the way to get in the car for school. When they told me he was hit by a car, at age 7, I pointed a finger at my mom and sob-screamed, "You did it! Dog killer!" Then I called my grandparents to tell them what a horrible daughter they had raised so they sent me...Fluffy. 
#2 Fluffy-mini poodle- Would not have been my first choice for a dog but she made all the work she was worthwhile by having the shits all the time and wiping her ass on my mother's white walls. Needless to say she was given away to some crazy people that would paint her toenails and send me pictures. 
#3 Bogey-I am now 18 years old. Had to move out of the house in order to ever have another pet again. I picked her out as a tiny puppy and she was with me for 15 wonderful years. She went to doggy heaven July of 2005. 
#4 Precious-Found her on the side of the road. Took her in and she was Bogey's sister. She lasted for 17 years. She met Bogey in doggy heaven in June of 2007.
I want no more animals until I get old. 
E. Essential start to your day: Checking email and taking the 20 pills that get me through the day. 
F. Favorite color: Don't really have one. If you put a gun to my head I suppose I would say yellow. 
G. Gold or silver: Silver. 
H. Height: 5’6
I. Instruments you play(ED): Drums and a little guitar. 
J. Job title: Made up my own title at work...Senior Sales Representative. Sounds much better than the Customer Service Whore on my business cards. 
K. Kids: Hell no. 
L. Live: Not sure what this means. Yes, I am alive? I live for now?
M. Mom’s name: Carlissa (funny way to say her name) or Mom. Never Mama. I hate that. Grosses me out for some reason. 
N. Nicknames: Chan, Diddy, Aunt Nan, C-diddy and Woprah. 
O. Overnight hospital stays: Two. Tonsillectomy at 26. Had to stay overnight due to "excessive bleeding". Then at 27 or 28 for being crippled up with compartment syndrome issues. 
P. Pet peeves: Liars, cheaters and people that eat their finger and toenails or their boogers. 
Q. Quote from a movie: Ok, I am a movie freak. I cannot have just one.
 "Say hello to my little friend" from Scarface
"May the force be with you." Star Wars
"You talkin' to me?" Taxi Driver
"I'll have what she is having." When Harry Met Sally
R. Righty or Lefty: Righty
S. Siblings: One sister, 5 years younger than me. 
T. Time you wake up: 6:25am Mon-Friday. 7:30am on Saturday and sleep as long as possible on Sunday. 
U. Underwear: Never go without them. I am know you are relieved to hear that. 
V. Vegetables you don’t like: Cauliflower. Makes me gassy. 
W. What makes you run late: I am NEVER late. Late people annoy me. Add that to "P" up there.
X. X-rays you’ve had: Too many to count. In grade school, I tried to break my arm on purpose so I could have a cast and have everyone at school sign it. I would cry and carry it around with my other arm until the mom would take me to the hospital. 
Besides those, I had broken collarbone, broken foot and chest x-ray for whatever funga munga I caught 2 years ago that made me cough for 4 months straight. 
Y. Yummy food you make: Everything I make is amazing but probably cheesecakes, sloppy joes, fried potatoes and mashed potatoes. I am good with a potato. 
Z. Zoo Animal Favorites: Lions, bears, snakes, crocs and elephants.

  1. "Compartment syndrome issues". Exactly what is that?

  2. Compartment syndrome. Basically an injury that instead of swelling up the outside of your (in this case leg)it swells internally. So much so, that if you do not catch it quickly you can lose a limb or wherever you have the issue. The swelling destroys the muscles and nerves. I was told I would have to walk with a leg brace for the rest of my life and that chances for feeling in my leg again were 5000:1. I have most of the feeling back in the leg and was out of the leg brace in two years. Truly a miracle.

  3. Well I am thinking of the yellow that they put on cars...like the new Camaro or the Toyota FJ Cruiser. That yellow. Wish I had a car that color.

    After writing yellow I did watch an episode of "Selling NY" and there was this slate gray color on the wall of this bedroom. Really liked it. So maybe that is my new color.

  5. No Jules, I could never be a teacher. I have 0 patience aside from low booger tolerance. Thanks for stopping by! I really enjoy your blog.
