One post every 6 months??


OK, so I started a blog in January. It is now July. I think we can all agree I'm off to a great start. Because I really need to write a post and am not coming up with anything super exciting at the moment, I'm going to copy one of those "List interesting things about yourself" entries that I've stolen from my sister's blog. 

A. Age: 26
B. Bed size: Queen
C. Chore that you hate: Grocery shopping and putting clean clothes away are definitely my least favorite chores. Which is interesting considering I love to cook and don't mind actually doing the laundry.
D. Dogs: I want a bulldog soooo badly.
E. Essential start to your day: Coffee
F. Favorite color: Green
G. Gold or Silver: Silver, although I also have some gold and like them both
H. Height:  5'6"
I. Instruments you play: Oboe and piano (kinda) I took piano lessons but they didn't really take to me
J. Job title: Executive Manager, Early Childhood Advisory Council of West Virginia
K. Kids: 0
L. Live: Charleston, WV
M. Mother's name: Susan (many call her Sue but she prefers Susan)
N. Nicknames: I really don't have many nicknames. My sister and one friend from elementary school call me Gretch, a few people call me G, and college nicknames include G-retchen, G-to-the-retchen, and Gretch-Face. 
O. Overnight hospital stays: I stayed in the hospital when I was about two for a week or so (Pertussis!) but I don't remember it. Since then: 0 stays.  
P. Pet peeves: Lack of common sense. People who don't dress for their body type. Dumbness. When people mispronounce Appalachian. When people (read: my husband) leave dirty dishes and gum wrappers all over the house.
Q. Quote from a movie: "Why would God make us all so different if he wanted us to be the same?"--Saved "My name is Andrew Shepherd and I am the President."--American President "Last night I was sleeping under a bridge and tonight I'm having dinner with you fine people!"--Titanic
R. Right- or left-handed: Right
S. Siblings: One sister
U. Underwear: I'm a fan.
V. Vegetable(s) you hate:  I don't have a problem with most veggies. I don't like broccoli or lima beans though.
W. What makes you run late: Husband
X. X-Rays you've had: Ankle (broken in 7th grade), chest (breathing issues as a kid)
Y. Yummy food that you make: I like to cook and do it a lot. I make a mean spaghetti and meatballs and a killer chicken pot pie.
Z. Zoo animal: Monkeys, just because.
