The ABC's of Me

A - Always on time.
B - Battle. As in I battle anything and anyone when I am sure I am right.
C - Cats. I love them. I have two and when I hit the lottery will be a rescue kitty woman.
D - Darlene. My name that I hated until I turned 28.
E - Eggs. Love them. My favorite go to protein food.
F - Freak. I get called this a lot for a lot of reasons.
G - Goofy. As in - Darlene you are so goofy! And I am. Really.
H - Highways. I looove to drive and ride. On the road = Happy. Another H!
I - Ice Cream. Not a big fan.
J - James. Half the men in my family have this name.
K - Kickoff. Football. Fall.
L - Long walks. In the park. I'm serious.
M - Momentary Lapse of Reason = awesome Pink Floyd song.
N - Nerd. That's me! Deep down inside and slightly on the surface.
O - Overreact. I do this a lot; have a few books on how not to do this.. but I do it anyway.
P - Pickles! My cat's alter ego.
Q - Quintessential.. a word I use often.
R - Rabid Wolf Spider. Love spiders. The Rabid Wolf Spider is neither rabid nor wolf like.
S - Sleep. I do not do it enough.
T - Take It To The Limit. A song by the Eagles that makes me smile. Every time.
U - Under achiever. A curse that I am still trying to break.
V - Violin. I played for four years while in grade school.
W - Writer. I finally tell people I am a .. gulp.. writer.
X - Xylophone - I played the xylophone in the 5th grade Christmas concert.
Y - Yak - I had a stuffed one with green fur when I was 8.
Z - Zippo. My other cats name. He is named after the song by Corrosion of Conformity... not the lighter.

  1. I just stumbled upon your blog a few minutes ago and read just because we share a name. Then I giggled because most of your alphabetical discription fits me to a T...well, except for the Pink Floyd. I'm more of a just plain Pink girl. Take it to the Limit was my favorite song back in the day and I still love it. My guess, however, is that I am much, much older than you are. I hope your life is as happy as mine is. Blog on... I'll be following...inconsistently at best, which is my "I" word since I am not a fan of ice cream either. ;-)

  2. Hi Darlene! Thanks for the follow. I love your ABC list. I'm never late either. If I win the lotto, I might open a dog rescue. We have 3 rescues already, and I dogsit my three grand-dogs off and on when needed. They're all rescues, too. I almost picked "Take It to the Limit" for my anniversary blog post because it was a top song in 1976. The Eagles are one of my hubby's favs. "Take It Easy" is his fav. Pink Floyd is superb. A couple Halloweens ago, my oldest daughter was a Pink Floyd. She wore all pink and had a name tag that said "Floyd!" What a fun post.
