ABCs of "E" - D

 I got a bit off track with my Alpha All About Me Posts.  Let's resume with "D".

Dave Matthews Band - I've always loved Dave Matthews. Been to several concerts years ago.  There's something relaxing and comforting about going through any of those albums.  I associate many of the songs with places (mainly OU) and people.   

Dishes - I've gone the past 7 years without a dishwasher and will be thrilled when I finally live in a place that has one.  It's the small things.

Dip (as in Chip Dip) - A favorite indulgence that I hardly ever give into would be French Onion Chip Dip and rippled chips.

Downy Wrinkle Releaser - If you know me well, you know that I have a history of ironing everything: clothes, workout clothes, towels, bedsheets...you name it.  I also love Downy Wrinkle Releaser for quick touch ups and it also gives your clothes that nice fresh smell. 

Dad- My dad is a character. It's been said that I never needed a brother growing up because I had him. My sister and I could rarely walk through the kitchen without being thrown into a WWF wrestling simulation without advance warning.  My dad's also been known to give some very flattering nicknames to his daughters "Leesburg Lip"...I won't go into all of them. I've got so many stories and fun memories - some as recent as last week in which I wondered who was the parent...lol!  We've also been through a lot together with the passing of my mom and became very close.  Love you, Dad.

"ABC's Of E" - A

Jenny, a cool gal, has been blogging the "ABC's of Jenny". I thought I'd lift her idea. 

Here is the first installment of "The ABC's of E".

Allison

Allison's my younger sister. She's got a great husband and the cutest little boy ever. We look nothing alike and are pretty opposite. She's got the gift of being able to talk to just about anyone about just about anything which makes her a lot of friends and a great sales person. I wish I had a little more of our "outgoing-ness".

Allergies


Allergies stink. I grew up with seasonal allergies and eventually started having reactions to some animals. Mainly horses, dogs and cats. About a year ago, I started not feeling well after eating almonds. Then it started happening with peanut butter and peanuts. So, at the end of last year, I had allergy testing done. I truly thought I was being silly. Mid 30's and develop a nut allergy? Yep, I did. I'm still getting used to reading labels for allergens and carrying meds.

Alanna

Alanna - One of my dear, dear friends. College roommates. She was the domestic diva of our little apartment at OU. Thank goodness we had her. She fed us for 3 years with her cooking talents. We've been through a lot together and I wish she lived closer!

Alias

Alias. I loved this show when it was on. Sydney Bristow kicked butt and wore some fun get ups.
