ABC Wednesday Challenge, Year 4, Part 2, Round 8, A

I should just title this ABC.4.2.8(A)



Welcome to ABC Wednesday. A blog party that I have been somewhat delinquent in attending regularly.

I have discovered that blogging, and especially weekly parties, is kind of like going to church. The more you skip, the easier it is to keep skipping.

But starting a new round, and starting with A, it's a good time to jump back in.

So A is for Alphabet.

Here is an alphabet meme I found (copied/stole) from another blog recently. I had fun with it, maybe it will give you a glimpse into my world.

A is for Age: I will turn 30 for the 17th time this year. (that's 46 for those who are mathematically impaired.)

B is for Beverage of choice: Orange Juice. I could easily drink over a gallon a day.

C is for Career: C is also for Crash & Burn, which is what my fomrer career as a truck driver did when I got hurt.

D is for favorite Dessert: Cheesecake, but Coconut Cream Pie runs a close second.

E is for Essential item you use everyday: I feel naked without my keys, my wallet, and a pen. My phone is a close runner up.

F is for Favorite song at the moment: Anything with words! I have been listening to wordless "on hold" music for the last 2 hours with this stupid insurance company. Insurance is the bane of humanity!

G is for favorite Game: Probably rabbit...or elk. I'm really more of a fish guy than a game guy.

H is for Home town: Kearns, Utah, USA (Go Cougars!)

I is for Instruments you play: Not sure if I could play any now. but 30 years ago, I played trumpet, baritone, french horn, and tuba.

J is for favorite Juice: Orange... See B is for Beverage...

K is for Kids: I have three grown sons and one grown daughter who live far, far away. We are also raising One rambunctious three year old granddaughter who has enough energy for four kids.

L is for Last kiss: Not sure, see either K, or M.

M is for marriage: April 1, 2000 I married my very best friend, Diann.

N is for Name: Well, Troy is my middle name, my first name is Jonathon, which everyone assumes gives them permission to call me Jon. I have gone by Troy since birth.

O is for Overnight hospital stays:Overnight is a short stay. most of my stays have been at least a week...

P is for phobias: As I get older I fear less. I am still uneasy with heights though, and even more so since I fell and got broke. (pun intended)

Q is for quote:
"A man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
..............or.........................
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

both by Martin Luther King, Jr.

R is for biggest Regret: Never going to college.

S is for Sports: I don't play much any more. I used to really enjoy basketball. I love to watch rodeo.

T is for Time you wake up: Usually about every four hours all night, but I generally try to be out of bed about 8 hours after I go to sleep, +/- an hour or two.

U is for color of Underwear: Wow, getting kind of personal aren't we? What if I said fuchsia and satin... would you think any less of me? OK, They were white when they were new, but the washer and dryer take their toll. Probably a dingy grey by now.

V is for Vegetable you love: I love green salad, is that a vegetable?

W is for Worst Habit: W is for, Wish I had any bad habits, so I would have something to write here... oh wait... I do bite my nails...

X is for X-rays you've had: I'm sorry... I can't stop laughing long enough to list them all...
I seriously do not believe there is any part of me that has not been x-rayed at one point or another

Y is for Yummy food you make: I make a mean scallopini sauce, but it has chunks of vegetables in it, so I don't make it at home. Everyone always asks me to make a cheese ball for family parties.

Z is for zodiac sign: Gemini

Now everyone head over to ABC Wednesday, to see what others were inspired to write about this week.
