My mistake. This is a rather old meme that Amy gave us some time in the spring. Just found it again. :)
1. Age - Ella turned 3 years old at the end of April.
2. Bed Size - Queen - Not too big, not too small. Just right.
3. Chore You Hate - Washing windows. Uggh!
4. Pet's Names - Pets from long ago - Dusty, Yum-yum, Fat Tully (see below,) Aram, and Molly.
 |
| Sweetest Cat Ever - 23 lbs. |
5. Essential start to your day - Coffee, lots of it and black. Exercise and kisses, too.
6. Favorite color - Green, especially olive, moss, and army green.
7. Gold or silver - Both - I love to mix silver and gold jewelry.
8. Height - I used to be 5' 6", but I think I am getting shorter! And that sucks!
9. Instruments you play (in your head or in reality) - Honky-tonk piano on the dashboard of my truck.

11. Kids - Two sons, no grandkids
12. Living arrangements - Sam and I relocated from Chicago and have lived in the same house for 35 years.
13. Music you love - jazz, country, swing, classical, Irish, piano.....the list goes on. About 30 different Pandora stations.
14. Nicknames - Spud, Pretty Lady, Ells, Ba-ba, Katrinka .
15. Overnight hospital stay other than birth - Yes, but I don't remember how many.
16. Pet peeve - poor service in a store or restaurant.
17. Quote from a movie - "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

23. Work out style - 30 minute routine - 5 days a week - weights, agility, resistance, cardio.

Loved reading. Just a note, I have absolutely no recollection of this meme.
ReplyDeleteIt is not you who is forgetful, Sunny. It is me!! I believe this meme belonged to Amy. I will write her to apologize.

Laughing at Leigh's comment! Loved getting to know more about you, Ella! I'm with you on all the coffee in the mornings, for sure! Your fat cat must have been adorable and funny! Hugs! Windy
ReplyDeleteTully was the most loving cat I ever had. More of a dog, really. He was very protective of our babies.

Just stopping by. Thanks for sharing, always enjoying learning more about fellow bloggers and share some things in common.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Enzo
Thanks so much for stopping by, Enzo. I love to meet new friends. I will look for your blog. Always think that knowing someone's favorite movie says a lot about who that person really is.
DeleteHugs From Ella
Thanks, Ella! ... These are always fun ... loved getting to know you better ... nj ... xx
ReplyDeleteI always feel like these memes make us all seem a little more real. Makes each blogger a bit more three dimensional.
DeleteHugs From Ella
This is a great meme, Ella. We have some things in common and others, the exact opposite.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Always Thongs Amy ;)
Ahh! The woman to whom I need to apologize. This meme belonged to you, Amy. Sorry you didn't get proper credit. I may decide to edit this post to give you the honors.
DeleteSo Sorry,
Ella
I'll be giving this a try for sure. You and I both love a good meme. Hope we can encourage some of our new friends to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love reading memes, too, PK. It would be lovely if the new folks would share.
DeleteHugs From Ella
I love reading memes. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteTa ta for now, see you in Blighty soon.
Rosie xx
Me, too, Rosie. Yes, I am counting the days until our trip! Time for me to see and do all the things I have missed these last few years. Cheers!
DeleteHugs Across the Pond,
Ella
It’s always fun to read a meme. Love to get those glimpses into the lives of bloggers!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Laurel. It is sort of like getting to pore over an old scrapbook. You should try one on Meredith's blog some time. They are lots of fun!
DeleteHugs From Ella
Ella,
ReplyDeleteNo real time to write! I do like this meme and will try to find time to do Sunny's meme.
Meredith
Just remember to give Amy the credit. My bad. It doesn't belong to Sunny at all.
DeleteHugs From Ella
I had to laugh at SG's comment. I loved this meme. I'm not a fan of brussel sprouts or cucumbers.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

Ha! There are so many vegetables that I love, so leaving out a few is not so bad.
DeleteAlready dreaming of a steak and kidney pie and a pint or two.
Hugs Across the Pond,
Ella
Ella, love this. Is this a TBT or you just did it from back when? Love your nicknames! All the veggies you hate I LOVE.
ReplyDeleteSG made me lagh too!
Thanks, dear girl. No, not a throwback. Just found it in my drafts and finally finished it. A very special uncle used to call me "Katrinka" and I loved it.
DeleteHugs From Ella
