Now I know my ABCs...

I think Maya from Kinzie Says tagged me in this because she knows I am most likely to fill it out! I'm a sucker for these things: back in the late 90s/early 2000s when these existed in the form of email forwards to all your friends, and more recently, as Facebook notes, and now, making its way around the blog-circuit! 

So, in honor of letting you into a little more of my personality and my favorite pastime of wasting time, here goes!

A. Age: 29

B. Bed size:
Currently Queen, although I'm perfectly fine with my old Full-sized bed which is now in the guest bedroom. It's like sleeping on a delightful cloud and sometimes I sneak away to it to languish in naps. Did you know that I bought it almost-new from the former Miss Florida?

C. Chore you hate:
Unpacking, putting away laundry (I don't mind folding it, but I hate putting it away), hanging up clothes on a daily basis... oh wait. Am I only supposed to pick one?

D. Dogs:
Love dogs but only those that don't slobber/drool or jump on me. I used to be afraid of dogs as a young girl when a bunch of rabid beasts loose in the neighborhood came barreling at me as I suntanned in the yard... then I met The Fella during my college years and he had a dog who I had to learn to like!

E. Essential start to your day:
Checking Gmail and Facebook on my phone from my bed. Did you know that 34% of young women make Facebook the first thing they do when they wake up, even before brushing, according to Mashable?

F. Favorite color:
I don't discriminate. I love all colors, even put together! Especially bright ones or jewel-tones! Not really one for pastels, although I do like neutrals such as camel, cream, and white.

G. Gold or silver:
Gold! (I'm Asian, duh!)

H. Height:
5'1"

I. Instruments:
I was an accomplished piano player for 14 years at the regional and state levels. I was even the President of the Florida Federation of Music Clubs at one time!

J. Job title:
Marketing Slave

K. Kids:
A very furry one. (And to prove it, her name is FurFur.)

L. Live:
Chi-town!

M. Mom's name:
Molly

N. Nicknames:
Jammers, James, JamJam, JimJam, Jaime, Asian Persuasion, Lil Mama

O. Overnight hospital stays:
Just once many, many moons ago (knock on wood!) and it was a scary time. I'll always remember how my mom and dad brought me homemade wonton soup as I recovered (mostly broth, no solids just yet!), my sisters handmade me cards, and the support from mere acquaintances. A daughter of my mom's boss and friend––a girl whom I barely knew––sent me a very thoughtful Get Well card. Sadly, her daughter died a few years from a tragic car accident.

P. Pet peeve:
I hate people who repeat themselves, people with backpacks (the irony is that The Fella went out and bought one last weekend. He was so proud of it I didn't have the heart to tell him how much I hate these people), rat dogs, ignorant people, and people who don't believe in first impressions. Yea, that about sums it up. 

Q. Quote from a movie:
"You sold your soul to the devil when you put on your first pair of Jimmy Choo's." – The Devil Wears Prada

R. Right or left handed:
Right

S. Siblings:
Two

T. Time you wake up:
7:40 AM: when my alarm clock goes off. 7:50 AM: when I actually get off the bed.

U. Underwear:
What kind of question is this?!

V. Vegetables you dislike:
Currently not digging any veggies, but I usually like spring mix salads (or any other fancy salads –– none of that iceberg crap), Veggie Delight Subways, Roasted Root Veggies, and Tomatoes!!

W. What makes you run late:
Oversleeping and the dog.

X. X-Rays you've had:
Teeth X-rays only. I think.

Y. Yummy food you make:
I like to think everything I cook is yummers. Hahahah. Okay, recently, I made really good Hot Asian Chicken Wings.

Z. Zoo- favorite animal:
Tigers
