\"ABCS03\"<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t have time to work on a recipe or photos today, so I thought I\u2019d post a survey I\u2019ve seen floating around the blogosphere. <\/p>\n

A-Z Survey<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A.<\/strong> Age: I\u2019m in the torrid twenties. And they\u2019re not torrid.<\/p>\n

B.<\/strong> Bed size: Double, but I could do with it being just a little longer. I\u2019m a tall girl and I hate having my toes hang off the edge, which they do.<\/p>\n

C.<\/strong> Chore you dislike: Wall washing! I hate it with a passion.<\/p>\n

D.<\/strong> Dogs: We had a black lab named Jade pretty a lot of my growing up, but we had to put her down last year because she was very old and sick. I miss her so much\u2026she was the most gentle, sweet dog I\u2019ve ever seen, so great with kids. I secretly want a little \u2018toy\u2019 dog\u2026you know the kind that are the size of a puppy and have absolutely no purpose other than cuteness. Like this one<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

E<\/strong>. Essential start to your day: First thing I ever do: Drink a tall glass of water.<\/p>\n

F.<\/strong> Favourite color: I could never decide because I love them all\u2026it all depends on my mood. Purple is definitely up there.<\/p>\n

G.<\/strong> Gold or silver: Silver or white gold.<\/p>\n

H.<\/strong> Height: I\u2019m a tall girl at 5\u201911\u201d. You\u2019d never believe how hard it is to find jeans that are long enough.<\/p>\n

I.<\/strong> Instruments you play(ed): I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass guitar, and a little piano. I played flute when I was in school, but I hated it so much, so I dropped it. I named all my instruments something endearing\u2026except the flute. It didn\u2019t deserve a name.<\/p>\n

\"ABCS01\"<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>. Job title: Lead singer and instrumentalist in a band. Blogging. I even do some housecleaning for a few women in the area.<\/p>\n

K.<\/strong> Kids: I\u2019m not married, so it would be zero. But I have enough nieces and nephews to make up for it! (Yesterday I got another nephew, so exciting!)<\/p>\n

\"ABCS04\"<\/p>\n

L.<\/strong> Live: In the countryside in a big green and white house. It\u2019s sort of in the middle of nowhere, but it\u2019s so beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"Our<\/p>\n

M.<\/strong> Mom\u2019s name: Karen<\/p>\n

N.<\/strong> Nicknames: Chris, Chrissy, Rissa, Loopy (don\u2019t ask!), Cuddles (my sister\u2019s pet name for me), Cassie, Dearie without Horns<\/p>\n

O.<\/strong> Overnight hospital stays: I had a ski accident in my early teens when the binders of my skis detached themselves. I ended up in the forest, unconscious, with a 4\u201d crack in my skull (which explains some things, lol) and a torn up arm. I only stayed in the hospital one night though, but it was a long one.<\/p>\n

P.<\/strong> Pet peeves: Too many condiment bottles in the fridge, mono-brows, melted ice-cream, hard eggs, and cold feet.<\/p>\n

Q.<\/strong> Quote from a movie: \u201cI love you.\u201d \u2026Bet you\u2019ll never guess which one that comes from, haha.<\/p>\n

R<\/strong>. Righty or lefty: Righty, but I am left when I play hockey. Yup, I\u2019m Canadian through and through.<\/p>\n

S.<\/strong> Siblings: 7 sibs and I\u2019m the last one. Well, they say you should save the best for last\u2026haha, just kidding.<\/p>\n

T.<\/strong> Time you wake up: It\u2019s a secret. I\u2019ll just say I\u2019m a night owl and leave it at that.<\/p>\n

U.<\/strong> Underwear: Whaaaa? TMI<\/p>\n

V.<\/strong> Vegetables you don\u2019t like: I actually can\u2019t think of any. Impressive.<\/p>\n

W.<\/strong> What makes you run late: Syncing my iPod, changing my outfit for the third time, and spilling my to-go tea mug on the way out (which happens way too often).<\/p>\n

X.<\/strong> X-rays you\u2019ve had: Cat scan (for the ski accident), Teeth (to see if I actually have<\/em> any wisdom teeth) and head<\/p>\n

Y.<\/strong> Yummy food you make: I make a mean pancake!<\/p>\n

Z.<\/strong> Zoo animal favourites: The lions or monkeys. The monkeys amuse me. The lions are so beautiful and powerful.<\/p>\n

\"ABCS02\"<\/p>\n

There it is\u2026hope you enjoyed getting to know me a bit more. I\u2019d love to get to know you better, so tell me a little about yourself.<\/p>\n

What are your strangest quirks? Do you have any crazy nicknames? Is there a pet peeve that drives you nuts?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
