Learn a little bit about the person behind “Doodles and Jots” today!
Thanks Craftwhack, Reading (and chickens), Mrs. Irritation, Two Adults, and Saly for this fun post template!
Feel free to copy & paste and create and share your own alphabet!
A. Age: 41.9167 years
B. Bed size: queen which seems too small with a sideways sleeping 4 year old
C. Chore that you hate: grocery shopping with kids (a chore that should only be attempted by super-moms)
D. Dogs: I love VISITING dogs and then returning home to my fuzz free house
E. Essential start to your day: Starbucks coffee made in my coffee-maker with cream no sugar
F. Favorite color: to wear, I like all colors except maybe orange but I tend to wear a lot of what I think is flattering like gray and navy and if it comes in purple I like that especially
G. Gold or silver: silver
H. Height: 5’8”
I. Instruments that you play: middles school level flute, a few tunes on the piano, and trying to learn the tin whistle so I can eventually play like this…
J. Job title: freelance product designer and best mommy in the whole world (so I’m told)
K. Kids: 20 year old step son, 18 year old step daughter, 6 year old daughter, and 4 year old son (so far)
L. Live: Cape Cod
M. Mother’s name: same as me
N. Nicknames: no, although one engineer used to call me Sully at work which felt ridiculous to me because there can be only one Sully in a family
O. Overnight hospital stays: tonsils out when I was 5, daughter’s birth, 2 times for hyperemesis while pregnant with son, and son’s birth
P. Pet peeves: clutter and stuff on the floor
Q. Quote from a movie: “Much too good for children!” from Matilda
R: Right or left handed: right, but I think being left handed people are cool
S: Siblings: 2 sisters and a brother (I’m the middle girl)
T. (free choice?) What’s on my kitchen TABLE: partially eaten snack bags and sippy cups, library tote bag, school back-pack, my bag, mail basket, stack of newspapers, bowl of fruit, bowl of nuts, and some other doodads
U. Underwear: I like to express myself with color and pattern where no one can see!
V. Vegetable(s) you hate: lima beans
W. What makes you run late: me not planning in the time it takes for dawdling, freak-outs, and the bodily functions of 2 additional people I travel with most of the time
X. X-rays you’ve had: teeth of course (but I refuse those at least half the time because I think they are bad for you), abdomen once with a stomach bug, and probably another but can’t remember
Y. Yummy food that you make: chicken pot pie, ribs, chicken, beef stew
Z. Zoo animal: zebra but I’m also fascinated by primates and can watch them indefinitely
I guess you’re skewing our 5’6″ average. Great. Thanks a lot. I forgot. I asked you once what sorts of products you design and forgot to come back and look. So… what do you design? I’ll come back later- I promise.
Ha, ha, ha – 2 inches?
I have worked on a bunch of different things like housewares, baby products, consumer electronics, and medical. I worked at a consultancy where we were hired by all different types of manufacturing type companies. Thanks for asking!
Whoa, you’re a tall lady!
It’s something ; ) Thanks and thanks for the post idea!
This is so fun! This should be a blog tour feature!
Definitely! Great idea – thanks! You should do one too!!!
Why did I think you are in Maine, Ann? I’m always saying to my husband “you know those bloggers that live in Maui and Maine?”! Hahaha.
5′-8″…you’ve got six inches on me, boo! Loved reading about you…what does it take to get more than your silhouette on here?
Krista over at This Mumma’s Life is in Maine. Maybe you got us confused.
I am planning a new avatar but I have no time lately – it’s coming ; )
Ahahaha! I just saw where you got your “too good for children” from.
; )
Very cool. Although I still feel you are a bit mysterious!
I for some reason thought you were in Massachusetts…apparently we all had you pegged in New England.
Ok, now I just feel silly for thinking of Cape Cod Michigan before Mass.
I know – I don’t share a lot of personal stuff… I don’t find that part easy in the land of the “World Wide Web” One of these days I will change my profile pic! Thanks Krista! & yes MA ; )
I have some strict boundaries too. I used to have an anonymous blog but I found it too constricting for the type of blog I wanted to have, with lots of photography. I must say, your content does not suffer for your slight anonymity. I still want to come back and see what you have to share!
I am careful not to say which town I live in, or to share pictures of my house. I have even photoshopped my license plate and the make and model of our car out of a photo once. I also keep some topics strictly off limits, since they are just too emotional or private. I am setting out to inspire, not to write a diary.
Thanks for your support Krista! Still learning what I am comfortable with and suspect is will evolve a bit – I am still pretty new at this ; )
Loved learning more about you! You’re so tall, ya lucky lady. I love greys and purple too.
Thanks Tania – you should do one!
This was fun to read! And that tin whistle clip is awesome!
Amazing – huh?! Thanks, it was fun to create!
