  1. since i am bored (or rather do not want to do work i should be doing), here are my abc's. also, i think this should just be called the ashley-catherine blospot.

    A. AGE: 27

    B. BED SIZE: king, and i make it a little personal mission of mine to convert ppl thinking of getting queens.

    C. CHORE YOU HATE: cooking when i tired is pretty much torture. (if i didn't have a dishwasher, dishes would be a close second.)

    D. DOG'S NAME: n/a

    E. ESSENTIAL "START THE DAY!" ITEM: tidying the living room, making tea or coffee, and checking my email

    F. FAVORITE COLOR: practically - white; for fun - red or green

    G. GOLD OR SILVER: both, but i think gold is more timeless

    H. HEIGHT: 5'6

    I. INSTRUMENTS YOU PLAY: none sadly unless singing counts, but i would like to learn to play piano.

    J. JOB TITLE: SAHM,but i'll teach again someday... and maybe even get my master's in poetry

    K. KIDS: Gerard Martin Barilleaux, 8 months and not a junior. My husband would like the world to know that the boy is named after the saint, not his father.

    L. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: 2-bedroom, unpainted, needing new couches apt. and, like ashley, i am trying to figure out whether to buy a house... and my plans end up a mess as soon as i think i have figured it out.

    M. MOM'S NAME: Marlene

    N. NICKNAME: cat, kitty

    O. OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY: b/t delivery and the nicu, i lived in the hospital for 2 weeks, most of which i was not let outside!!

    P. PET PEEVE: i have far too many as i think i can do everything better and suffer from mild ocd. like ashley though, i hate clutter. i can't sit down and really relax unless everything is neat. that is why i clean the living room every morning before i do anything else.

    Q. QUOTE FROM A MOVIE: i quote from TWO movies (with my siblings) as i am boring and find few things funny more than once; they are dumb and dumber and toy story. dumb and dumber - i quote the whole damn movie. toy story - that would be the scene in which mrs. potatohead packs up mr. potatohead's stuff for his trip. "... and some monkey chow"

    R. RIGHTY OR LEFTY?: right, also i have to think about left and right when given directions, but i am excellent with a compass.

    S. SIBLINGS: 3

    T. TIME YOU WAKE UP: b/t 7 and 8 usually

    U. UNDERWEAR: ???

    V. VEGGIE YOU DISLIKE: i am picky about how artichokes and eggplants are served.

    W. WAYS /REASONS YOU ARE LATE: b/c i got up too late

    X. XRAYS YOU'VE HAD: i don't know. i feel like i have had a lot, mostly on my mouth.

    Y. YUMMY FOOD YOU MAKE: i like to cook new and interesting things every week, but pasta dishes, steak, and oven-roasted potatoes are regulars. i made a to-die-for raspberry cream pie (even though i don't bake unless it is a holiday since i haven't much of a sweet tooth).

    Z. ZOO ANIMALS YOU LIKE: penguins are my favorite too. i also like baby animals in general, particularly little fuzzy chicks. oh, wait. that's a farm. that's what happens when you grow up in springfield.

    THE END.

  3. me too! i kept wondering what i would have written if i had not read yours first since i was nodding in agreement to half of them. it is cool to learn a few new things about someone you think you know inside and out.

    A. AGE: 26

    B. BED SIZE: if i had the space, i would get a king...whether or not i was sharing it with someone. but i am confined to my sad little twin.

    C. CHORE YOU HATE: peeling potatoes. is that a chore? doesn't matter...it is to me. i cut myself every single time. i think my fingers are too long. but i LOVE mashed potatoes so i have to peel them a lot.

    L. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: since you are all buying nice new spacious places, i think i'll become a squatter and takes turns at each of your homes. you won't even know i'm there. but don't worry, it won't be creepy.

    M. MOM'S NAME: janice

    N. NICKNAME: tencza, heath

    O. OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAY: none yet!

    P. PET PEEVE: many things annoy me. it's a problem. particularly, people's habits like chewing their gum loudly, sniffling, singing or whistling ever so slightly off key (way off key doesn't bother me for some reason). also, when people insist on putting an apostrophe s at the end of their last name to make it plural. shall i go on?

    Q. QUOTE FROM A MOVIE: all i can think of now is mrs. potato head. some extra teeth-be careful, they chatter! and a dime...call me! and a YO-YO! and a bouncy bouncy baaaaallll.

    W. WAYS /REASONS YOU ARE LATE: i always sleep too late and i procrastinate too much.

    X. XRAYS YOU'VE HAD: many for my teeth. and one for my wrist that time i broke a board the wrong way in tae kwon do. it was just a bruise.
