You know what I like to do? Steal Borrow post ideas from other people. So that’s what I’m doing today rather than post the long, rambling rant that I’ll probably truncate and stuff into my weekly recap instead. I saw this on Erin’s blog and I thought it’d be a nice break from talking about books (what? I can talk about other things, too).
A- Age: 38. I’m surprisingly okay with this, although I do wonder how I got to actually BE 38.
B- Biggest fear: horses. But not just horses. I’ve written two posts devoted to all my fears (you can read them here and here) so you can enjoy those if you wish to know just how crazy I am.
C- Current Time: 10:47 a.m.(which is when I started writing)
D- Drink you last had: water. I drink a lot of it. I also spend a lot of time in the bathroom. This is not a hard puzzle to figure out.
E- Easiest Person To Talk to: the husband, my friend Jess, Steph
F- Favorite song: nope. I will not answer this one in fear of making all the songs I forget to mention feel bad. But if you’re holding a gun to my head, it’s either “Subdivisions” by Rush, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” by Meatloaf (you can judge me. It’s okay), or “Amaryllis” by Shinedown. Maybe. Oh! “Maybe” by Sick Puppies! That’s one of them, too.
G- Grossest Memory: Hmmm…that’s a tough one. I’m pretty desensitized to gross. Probably the time I saw a kid projectile vomit orange soda. This is also why I have an aversion to anything orange.
H- Hometown: I don’t generally disclose the exact town so let’s just say Long Island.
I- In love with: I’d say my husband and child and pets but that’s boring. So how about The Tonight Dough ice cream, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and books instead.
J- Jealous Of: tall people. And, so we’re clear, tall to me is anyone over 5’6″. I’m mostly jealous of your ability to reach things in high places sans ladder or tiptoes.
K- Killed Someone: I feel this is a ridiculous question because if I have, and I’ve gotten away with it thus far, why would I admit it now?
L- Longest Relationship: the one I’m in. We’ll be together 19 years in October, married for 11 this past April.
M- Middle Name: Lynn. I never use it. If you know my last name, you understand why.
N- Number of Siblings: two sisters. One brother in law.
O- One Wish: I have that Skee-Lo song in my head now but if I had a real wish, it would be endless money for anything I wanted. Or a multibook deal with a publisher.
P- Person who you last called: the PR representative for the sponsor of my mentoring session at #FinCon15
Q- Question you’re always asked: “Do you actually read all of those books?”
R- Reason to live: because thought of dying is way worse.
S- Song you last sang: “Banditos” by Refreshments or “On the Radio” by Donna Summer. I say two because it was the former when I started writing and the latter as I finished up.
T- Time you woke up: Somewhere in the neighborhood of 6:30AM. I don’t like that neighborhood. I’m looking to move. Preferably somewhere in the 9:00 hour.
U- Underwear Color: black and white striped (fun fact: I had to check because I couldn’t remember)
V- Vacation Destination: It varies. We try to go somewhere new every year. This year was Disney World. That was not new since we went in 2012. My ideal vacation destination is Australia which is fitting since Erin lives there and I totally ripped this idea off from her. Plus she promised me a beer when I got there and you don’t turn down free beer. That’s a life lesson, kids. You’re welcome.
W- Worst Habit: I pick at my cuticles. Sometimes until they bleed. I know. I’m classy.
X- Xrays you’ve had: For injuries: Broken right arm when I was in second grade. Glass in my left wrist the summer before 5th. Softball to the face junior year of high school. For pregnancy: 800 billion biophysical profiles and a few ultrasounds. Also: routine dental x-rays. I wonder how I’m not radioactive at this point.
Y- Your favorite food: Cheese. All the cheese. And Chinese food.
Z- Zodiac Sign: Gemini (I didn’t have to change this from Erin’s response)
What do your ABCs look like?

[…] I learned so much about Lindsay and Jana through the ABCs of me by Erin, I wanted to share mine. The graphical version is first (created in […]
I like this! Maybe I will make my alphabet list later!
I am jealous of women with good heads of hair! Lol!
Love, Steph’s Momma
So I do know your last name, I also know I went to school with a girl whose first name was your middle name and her last name was your last name. Ha!
I would have to check my undies if someone asked too, who know this off the top of their head?

That person’s parents are assholes. That’s seriously a mean thing to do.
paradise by the dashboard light is one of the best songs ever! zero judgement.
haha i’m jealous of short people! you can wear heels, and people don’t ask you to get things off those tall shelves.
do you actually read all those books? lol what? thats hilarious.
you should totally go to Aus 😉
Kristen recently posted…Travel Planning & Dreaming
Jealous? Of short people? You tall ladies have all the advantages. But I could see how the asking to get things off the high shelves is annoying. My husband is 6’1″ and EVERY TIME we’re in a store, some little old lady asks him to reach things for her. He’s pleasant about it but I know it gets bothersome.
lol okay, i’m jealous that you have a tall man! short women get all the tall men, it’s so unfair 😉 all my boyfriends have been my height or slightly taller. KC and I are pretty much the same height.
Kristen recently posted…How you doin’ 2015?
“Killed someone” – haha, not many ‘About Me’ type things that start with K I guess? And I don’t like the 6:30 neighborhood either.
Ali A recently posted…2002 – featuring Allison Arnone
They could have gone with kissed, kicked, song by The Killers. It was just a weird choice.
No. 6:30 sucks.
Woot Lynns!
And the short people.. my “tall” is 5’5 because I’m 5’2. If I can see over your head, I don’t know how you function in real life.
Teh Megan recently posted…Confessions {7/1}
Ha! I’m 5’3″ so I love that our threshold is an inch off from where we literally stand. It amuses me when I’m around people shorter than me because I imagine it’s how tall people feel around me all the time.
Short people who pick their cuticles and own a lot of books unite! Also, for no reason whatsoever other than your post make me think of it, I just checked the color of my underwear too because I had forgotten.
alyssa recently posted…A Little On the Bookish Side
Who remembers this stuff? I don’t remember what underwear I’m wearing 2 minutes after I put it on.
tall people…yes. seeing that i’m shrinking (rage), i wish i were taller. the other day i was prepping a chicken to be roasted and even using a step stool, i still couldn’t reach the dish unless i climbed up on the counter and ain’t nobody got time to fall down so i hollered for my husband to get it …. he just reached up with no step stool and handed it to me (he’s 6’1 with long arms).
kathy@real talk recently posted…reflections 2015
Scott is also 6’1″ with long monkey arms and it annoys me when I have to climb on the counter to reach something he can easily get. He mocks me when it happens, too. Jerk.
My middle name is Lynn too! I think horses are beautiful and I respect them, but up close they scare me too. I’ve ridden just a couple times and I felt like one could go suicidal at any given point. They have a mind of their own.
Tonya@Budget and the Beach recently posted…Financial Wellness: One Size Does Not Fit All
I think Lynn as a middle name is a generational thing because there are a lot of us. And that just about sums up why I’m terrified of horses.
Love a good post steal :). Oh, that’s why you don’t like orange. Yea, I’d feel the same after seeing that grossness. Glad you love Chinese food!
Yup. That’s the reason why. Also I don’t like how it smells which I think has nothing to do with that particular event.
Post steals are fun.
I am also jealous of tall people. I’m only 5’3.
I pick at my nails. All the time.
Amber recently posted…Hey, It’s Okay Tuesday!
That’s how tall I am. The struggle is real.
I’m 5’6″, just sayin’! 😉 Chinese Food, now I’m craving it.
Kerry recently posted…Mug-Tastic
No need to rub in the fact that you can reach things.
I am always craving Chinese food. ALWAYS.
I have a saying – I love all things cheese and all things potato. When you come to Australia, we can have beer & cheese, find a karaoke bar to sing “On the Radio”, and be happy!

YES. THIS. This is my ideal vacation.
I have this same post going up tomorrow! I love your answer to the killed someone question. Hilarious. Lots of Gemini’s on this ABC list it seems!
Kimmi recently posted…Confesssions July 1st??!!
Yay for Geminis!!! I’ll have to check out your list 🙂
Geminis for the win! Also Last Week Tonight with John Oliver should be mandatory programming. It is one of the only things I never miss – he’s spot on and hilarious.
Kati Rose recently posted…Hey, Remember Me?
His show is basically perfection. It’s also one of the few shows my husband and I agree on so it’s definitely a can’t miss in our house, too.
I am so jealous of women over 5’3. I wish I could at leas be that tall but I am only 5’1. Even when I buy short or ankle length jeans they are still always too long on me. And I’ll probably never be the “ideal” weight for someone who is my height because I’ve got boobs and hips. I would also wish for endless money right now!
Karen recently posted…Book Tour Recap: Home Is Where Your Boots Are
I’m 5’3″. Not as tall as you would think. I have huge boobs, too, and I know since I’m short they look even bigger. #shortpeopleproblems
i’m jealous of tall people. there’s a whole world i’m missing out on up there. i’m bad about picking my nails when i’m stressed. loved the a-b-c-s of y-o-u!
