ABC's OF ME, BETINA

ABC’S Of Me…..

A – Almost 30. If we’re counting backwards. Ok, I’m 37.

B – Blessed with amazing family surrounding me. Awesome parents, six siblings, my own version of Mr. Darcy, and four funny kids.

C – Courtney is my older sister by four years. I used to steal her clothes until she grew up and I grew out.

D – Dance. I love to turn up the I-pod and dance and sing. The sillier the better.

E – Elections – I vote in every one, even though I can’t stand politicians. I take my right to vote seriously.

F – Fear of cockroaches - a real fear. If I find one, I can’t kill it but I can’t do anything until it is dead. This requires outside help.

G – G-Cup - as in the cup-size of my bra. Yes, it does exist.

H – Hubby is funny and generous and isn’t afraid to join in on the singing and dancing.

I – “It’s good to do hard things” is my motto and something my kids are surely sick of hearing. But I’m gonna keep telling them anyway.

J – Jump. I can jump freakishly high for being so short.

K – Keeping Up With the Kardashians is a guilty pleasure.

L – Laughter. I love to laugh and I inherited a loud, boisterous laugh from my dad. Think Julia Roberts’ laugh, only less feminine.

M – Mexican food is my go-to meal. I could cook it and eat it for every meal, every day.

N – “No” is not in my vocabulary, but needs to be. It’s something I’m working on.

O – Organized. Being organized makes me oh so happy.

P – Pumped for the new Twilight movie. Team Edward all the way.

Q – Quantas-lay-hay. A made-up word from our childhood made-up language, the Ooban-Dooban Language. Synonym: dork or goober. I still use this.

R – Rarely get jealous. It’s not in my nature, thankfully.

S – Swimming. I have always loved to swim and I’m pretty good at it, despite my non-swimmer’s figure. I used to teach swim lessons and plan to again.

T – The Sound of Music is my all-time favorite movie for so many reasons.

U – Ugly feet. They look like hobbit feet with the same strange, sideways pinky toes that Court has.

V – Volleyball, softball, track, tennis, ping pong. I.LOVE.SPORTS. Love to play them and watch them and I’m pretty decent at them.

W – Won’t break the rules – I am a rule-follower.

X – Xmas is my favorite time of year. I love the traditions, the lights, playing Secret Santa, the music…all of it.

Y – Yes, I’m a sucker for infomercials. When I’m up all night with the baby, that is all that’s on TV and if I had a computer at my bedside we’d be broke. Man, they’re convincing!!

Z – Zero tolerance for whining and complaining.
