D– Didn’t go to the Prom. Don’t like politicians. Determined always.

G– Good at ping pong.
H– Have strange, sideways pinky toes.
I– In love with my husband.
J– Just can’t get enough of Justified.
K– Köln, Germany…One of my favorite cities, and the Cathedral takes my breath away every time I see it.

ABC’S Of Me, Betina…..

 

A – Almost 30. If we’re counting backwards. Ok, I’m 39.
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.

Here are a few favorite movie scenes. Love, love the new version of Pride & Prejudice(even got the music to play on the piano.) This scene is after Elizabeth turns down Darcy’s proposal, and runs into him at his home.  She’s embarrassed, and realizing she does have feelings for him, and he’s still so in love…

We are romantic suckers, and here is another all time favorite from Moulin Rouge. Ewan McGregor has such a voice…
