That’s the list. I’m pretty much a pro at the alphabet because I sing it with the First Lady. She is getting really good at it and saying the letter as we go through them. Sometimes I’ll stop and she’ll say the next one. Pretty cool.
This game is open to anyone. Feel free to copy and paste and insert your own answers.
Pick one and answer it in the comments… I dare ya!

Phobia – WASPS {the flying kind, not the humankind}. Almost as scary as your Mariah phobia.
How I am afraid of being stuck in an elevator with Mariah..
I am afraid of spiders. My wife thinks it is funny she has to kill them for me.
I’m just plain afraid to be stuck in any elevator. There would be claw marks on the doors!
Have a good weekend! Hope you enjoy lots of ketchup!
peas are pretty tasty :) peas are the only vegetable that my grandpa will eat! i guess he’s earned that right
well now i am trying to come up with something that rhymes with oranges.. gah
Have seen this several times this week…may just hijack and do my own…. =)
This is me, pushing you over the edge to play along… :)
Essential Item:
Starbucks skinny vanilla Latte
Chinese food. Wins all wars
Ice Cream. And I don’t play! Conversation starts with three scoops. We ‘ll add from there. <— Next time, we shall have ice cream together. I may have 4 scoops. U in?! ;)
The wire is amazing!
Really no lettuce, not even the good stuff? I used to say I hated lettuce/salads but that was b/c as a kid we only had iceberg. Yuck. Love that you met your wife so young. Super sweet!
Yay for another ice cream fan and a cake person. What the heck is pie anyway? Usually a bunch of fruit covered in goo. Ick.
I posted this same survey today – Friday fun! Have a great weekend!
Haha! I pick the gummy bears or worms one. And I would absolutely pick worms and of the sour neon variety (though there’s nothin’ natural about that color).
And I saw this survey yesterday and made a comment about the X question. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I’ve had Xrays and ultrasounds in the last two years, and neither were for good reasons. I pick neither!
I think I’m going to do this survey next week.
G. Gummy bears or worms?
ALL HAIL THE HARIBO ARMY!!!
My husband and I were also together since we were 18… it’s kind of fun having memories of each other at that age. And the elevator- definitely a phobia of mine, too. Not so much the MC part, just getting stuck on one!
I love these. My husband would probably prefer birthday pie over cake, weirdo.
My essential item: coffee!!
Attached or single? I started dating my hubs young too; we were 16. Practically children!
He’s wonderful and supportive and he puts the toilet lid down. I jokingly like to take credit for that and say I “raised” him. ;-)
haha this is awesome. I remember these things from way back in the day when MySpace and Instant Messenger were cool …
I’ll bite
Favorite Color ? Blue
I was going to blog about LeBron Jame’s headband (I always run with headbands and have an NBA one too) but I’ll do this one today
Aww yea go gemini. I don’t know anything about Zodiac except for the one that I am but I live in LA so its fun when people ask about it and tell me what my personality is. Weirdos. (not that theres anything wrong with that)
Awww, one perfect lady. Still waiting on an answer for what you would call a number 2 :)
LOVE your answer to “S” and completely agree!
My phobia has always been birds. But as a runner, it has become more specific and I have narrowed it down to GEESE – hate those awful, terrible, hissing, pooping, snapping, squawking, chase-your-husband-when-he’s-on-a-bike nasty creatures!!
Best quote I’ve seen – especially since it is actually your quote!!!
And, I love your “season” – funny!!
What do you mean?? I’m having birthday pie for my birthday. No joke. Awesome answers, especially S and N.
You are hysterical. I just posted this today too.
I got stuck at gummy battle, then proceeded to go buy some gummy candles and make them battle it out. Before I won.
I love reading but not so much doing.. FUN to read!!! :)
Cake or pie – COOKIES!
Married!
I am with you on Mariah & honestly a lot of others people like – that Thicke guy – the judge on The Voice – he drives me crazy & the new song everyone loves! ;)
I just did this last week…fun!! And LOL at the Mariah Carey comment…I’m starting to think I may be frightened of her as well?!?
I have this all set up in my drafts right now, but with the expo, race and runcation recaps, plus giveaways, I have no idea when I’m going to post it!
