ABCs

Happy Friday! Everyone and their mom is doing this, so here goes!

Age: 30

Bed size: Queen. Best furniture investment ever. I adore my bed.

Chore you dislike: Cleaning the bathroom - especially the shower!

Dogs: No thank you. I like the idea of having a dog to go running with, but that's about it. I get very nervous around dogs, especially when they jump on you...

Essential start to your day: Scrambled eggs w/ lots of salsa. Best breakfast ever.

Favorite color: Either pink or navy.

Gold or silver: I prefer silver for engagement/wedding rings, but I like gold better for every day jewelry. Which I rarely wear, so this question is sort of irrelevant for me!

Height: 5'7"

Instruments you play(ed): Trumpet & piano

Job title: Fixed Income Analyst. But I usually tell people Investment Analyst because when I say "Fixed Income", many people have no idea what that means...

Kids: Hopefully some day.

Live: Suburb of Minneapolis, MN.

Mom’s name: Marlys. It's the most mispronounced name ever. It's pronounced: Mar-Liss. Super simple, but boy people come up with some interesting pronunciations!

Nicknames: Lees, Dotz, and D-Rod. The last 2 are because of my last name. There are also some less flattering, like Sleaza. I am not at all sleazy, but my friends started calling me this in college and it sort of stuck. In fact, one of my friend's moms calls me Sleaza...

Overnight hospital stays: I spent about 3 days in the hospital when I was in 6th grade because I got a horrible sinus infection and was so so so sick.

Pet peeve: Just one? Then I have to go with tardiness. It makes my blood boil when people are late!

Quote from a movie: I love Anthony Hopkin's speech about love from Meet Joe Black but that's sort of long... So I will go with a quote from Notting Hills: "After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

And my favorite funny quote: "I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?"

Righty or Lefty: Righty

Siblings: 2 older brothers, an older sister, and a younger sister

Time you wake up: 5:15 during the week. Around 7:30-8 on the weekends.

Underwear: Yep, I wear them.

Vegetables you don’t like: Sweet potatoes. I think they are so trendy these days, but I do not care for them. I like my vegetables to be savory, not sweet!

What makes you run late: Sending 1 more email or commenting on 1 more blog.

X-Rays you’ve had: Arm when I fractured it and neck when I had neck a couple of years ago. I think that's it!

Yummy food you make: I don't really have a signature dish... I don't cook for others very often. My fave dish that I make for myself is Beef w/ Pomegranate sauce served with mashed potatoes w/ pureed Navy beans for a little extra protein. Mmm.

Zoo animal favorite: Monkeys!

Enjoy the weekend, everyone! I have absolutely nothing planned, which I am happy about! I plan on studying, sleeping in, and hopefully running outdoors for a change!! Do you have any fun plans?
