So hey, what’s up old school bloggers? It’s BAAAACK! Aren’t y’all excited? I am! I sort of kind of (not really, just thought it best to) took a summer break from OSB but I am back and ready to read all about your ABCs of Me post this month! This one is TOTALLY old school. Although Katie is trying to prove me wrong since she actually posted this one over the summer, but I’m going to call that inspiration and not “new school” LOL! Joining me this month is my good pal Andrea from About 100%. If you do not already know Andrea then you’ve been living with your head in your fridge or something. She is funny and a great story-teller. I kind of want to be her when I grow up. But that may never happen so…
Anyway, here are MY own ABCs! Link up yours below!
A- Age: 40 (see this post)
B- Biggest Fear: Falling off of something very high, or driving off of a bridge, like a highway bridge. I have nightmares about that a lot. Funny, I still like to ride roller coasters…
C- Current Time: 3:50 on Sunday
D- Drink you last had: My friend’s homemade kombucha (no lie)(watered down)
E- Easiest Person To Talk to: Besides Tim, my friend Claudia.
F- Favorite Song: “Brave” by Sara Bareilles (I know it’s kind of “old” now but I still love it)
G- Grossest Memory: The time Ben pooed straight onto me (all over my t-shirt and arms) when he was about 4 weeks old. Thankfully my sweet neighbor rang the doorbell right after and I was able to hand him off to her and go take a quick shower. It was terrible.
H- Hometown: Austin, TX! At least that is where I grew up. I haven’t lived there since 1993. Is there a statute of limitations on how long you are gone from someplace and can still call it your “hometown?” I don’t know… I’m definitely still a Texan at heart no matter what.
I- In love with: Tim and chocolate. 🙂 Oh, and the ocean…
J- Jealous Of: People with those really nice master bathroom showers with multiple shower heads and the ones that come out from the wall. I like a good shower. Also, anyone who can eat carbs (the bad kind) and not gain weight.
K- Killed Someone? Seriously?
L- Longest Relationship: Tie between Tim and chocolate. 😉
Our first real date in 1995
M- Middle Name: Ann. Which kind of also sounds like my first name, right? I think it was because my Grandma’s name was Annie, so my parents sort of named me after her.
N- Number of Siblings: Three older brothers who yes, farted in my general direction quite a bit when we were growing up, but also took me out to all the bars they frequented on 6th Street in ATX after I turned 21.
O- One Wish: Peace.
P- Person who you last called: My mom. We do not talk often enough but we happened to talk on Friday. I haven’t called anyone since then. Isn’t that weird? I mean it’s only been 2 days as I write this. We just text so much nowadays…
Q- Question you’re always asked: “Where do your kids go to school?” (even if people know where you live does not mean your kids go to school where they are zoned. It’s VERY complicated here in S. Louisiana…) Also, “Where do you get your hair done?”
R- Reason to smile: This crew. 😀
S- Song you last sang: “Lift High the Cross” (hey, it’s Sunday and I’m in the church choir)
T- Time you woke up: Around 7:15 I think? Tim and I talked for a bit before we or the kids got up or checked the time, so not completely sure…
U- Underwear Color: black lace. (bow-chicha bow bow!)
V- Vacation Destination: Paris, France
W- Worst Habit: Ocasional nail-biting
X- X-rays you’ve had: teeth, right ankle
Y- Your favorite food: probably cheesecake. I also really like a good hamburger.
Z- Zodiac Sign: Aries. Here’s a little description I found online that seems to describe me somewhat… 🙂 “Let’s get started!” is an Aries woman’s battle cry. Eager and enthusiastic, she is the alpha female of the pack, always at the front of the queue and kick-starting everything from projects to dinner dates. A fearless and natural leader, an Aries woman is charismatic, energetic, and dynamic.”
So, what’s your sign, baby?

This was so fun! I loved doing this with you. And of course all the pics of you and your sweet family.
We totally had the same haircut in 1995. 🙂
Andrea recently posted…Old School Blogging – The ABCs of ME
Best haircut ever!! (not)
Paris Fraaaaaaaaaance! Yes baby!
I’m glad I read your fun post before I posted my own. I only answered the facts and it’s so boring (yawn).
Lady Jennie recently posted…Chez le Luthier
I WILL get to Paris! And we will frolic down the “rues” together! 😀
Smiling because I noticed I actually call someone every day. I’m not sure why, but it wasn’t intentional. Going forward it might be intentional. There is nothing like newborn spray poop.
Black lace, huh?
Arnebya recently posted…ABCs of Me – Old School Blogging
Everything else was dirty. ;-p
So excited that OSB is back…I even booted what I was going to post because of it! Looks like we have a lot in common…and no I didn’t copy your answers!
Leslie recently posted…Do You Still Sing the Alphabet Song?
I’m SO happy you joined in! And yes, we do have some things in common, so cool! 😀
Love OSB! And I love that picture of you in front of the ocean. Going to write up my own OSB post now. :))
Angela@JumpingWithMyFingersCrossed recently posted…Mainstream, Transitions and Back To School
It’s almost as fun as your awesome dancing! WOOT! 😀
So fun! And oh my, that cheeseburger looks amazing!!
And now I’m jealous of people with double shower heads. Sigh…
Tonya recently posted…Old School Blogging: The ABC’s Of Me
The home we stayed in on our summer vacation had a shower like that. I cannot even explain the awesomeness.
That burger? Almost takes the cake (<— see what I did there?), but cheesecake is still better. And I love the picture of you on the beach <3
Kerstin recently posted…How badass are you?
Thanks dear! Yes, that burger was ALMOST as good as cake! ha!
Love it! I love the Ocean too, the sand.. not as much 🙂 My three brothers are all older too, but my oldest went off to college when I was in 2nd grade. Oh I want a nice shower like that one, I really want one of those huge showers that has shower heads on either sides, that way when my husband gets in the shower with me he can’t steal all the water. I bet a lot of moms have poop stories just like that.
Emmy recently posted…Old School Blogging: The ABC’s
oh yes, the poop stories. ICK!
My oldest brother graduated high school the year I started Kindergarten. He’s 12.5 years older and the youngest is 8 years older. I was the “baby” by far!
haha!! Fart in your general direction is one of my most favorite terms.
I’m so happy for Old School Blogging. I’m glad it’s open for ten days because I can’t wait!
Des pooped through his diaper and outfit onto my dress in public once. I was at the hospital for a baby group so everyone there was at least sympathetic.
Tamara recently posted…I Am Protective.
Oh yeah, that was definitely the right crowd for that to happen around – ha!
After all this time I am chagrined to discover that you spell your middle name wrong!! 😉
I still consider myself a Texas girl and I left in 1989!!
Rabia @TheLiebers recently posted…THe ABCs of Blogging {Old-School Style}
I didn’t spell it that way, my mom did! LOL!
I was born in Houston and I also will always be a Texan at heart even though I haven’t lived there for 21 years.

So excited to have old school blogging back. Thank you!
Nancy Collins recently posted…Old School Blogging / ABC’s of Me
YAY! Thank you too! 🙂
Fun! I love these and hope to link up tomorrow. My middle name is Elaine, by the way. It’s my mom’s name and was given to me as well. 🙂
Lisa @ The Golden Spoons recently posted…Hitting the “RESET” Button in Parenting
It’s a good name. 🙂 I hope you will link up!
I am so excited to see Old School Blogging back and you bet I will be joining in now. Thanks so much Elaine!! 🙂
Janine Huldie recently posted…Tired of Hearing, “Actually I Can’t”!
Thank you!! 😀
I linked up the one I did back in June.
Jennifer recently posted…A Small Town Girl
I have loved reading these so much! Already today I’ve seen posts by Andrea, Arnebya and Jennie and they have all been so much fun. I’d love to do it myself except my L word would be
LAZY.
But your crew has me smiling, too.
Big.
It’s kind of something to remind us of the “old days” of blogging and well, actually get people to blog again! Linky IS open for several more days… Just sayin’! 😉
Yes to good burgers and cheesecake and chocolate. Now I’m hungry. 🙂
Kim recently posted…Old School Blogging – The ABCs of Me
I’ve been to Paris for one 24 hour layover on the way to Italy. I’m dying to go back!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt recently posted…A-Z Survey
I NEED that burger right now. (And I need more old school blogging. I love these!)
Jaime recently posted…ABCs of Blogging #OSBlog
Thank you so much for always joining in! 😀
Love your Old School Blogging Series Elaine! Looking forward to reading the other bloggers ABC’s. What a fun post!
My daughter’s dream destination would be Paris – she had a Paris themed 10th birthday and has a Paris themed room!
Have a great week.
Charlene @ Teacher by trade Mother by nature recently posted…ABC – Facts about ME! #OSBLOG
Thanks, Charlene! So glad you linked up.
And your daughter and I can go to Paris together… 😉
Love the picture of you and your Mom. Also love that you put chocolate right up there with Tim.
Julia recently posted…ABC’s of Me
Love that 1995 picture of you and Tim 🙂
Sweet girl, roller coasters? My stomach is rolling at the thought.
