Welcome ICLWers!

Yeah. My favorite time of the month is back. It ICLW time! Woot. So, to start things off, I am borrowing an idea from Kym's post, from I'm a Smart One, as a way of introducing myself.


The A, B, C's of Heeeeere Storkey, Storkey! (I seriously had typed Dorkey, instead of Storkey. Hm. Maybe I am trying to tell myself something? Ahem.)


A - Artichokes and Asparagus are two of my favorite foods. I just wish that asparagus liked me a little more, though. It makes me so gassy. What? It does!

B - Birthday - I just turned 37 years young on Saturday.

C - Chocolate is my favorite food group. Yum.

D - Dork is a pretty accurate description of me. I try to be trendy but fail miserably. (although I am in LOVE with my new Coach glasses)

E - Energy. Something of which I need more. Now. Always.

F - Friendly is how I'd like to be know.

G - Giraffes are special animals that have come to be the symbol for my kids. It goes back to my days with them in the NICU. All 14 and 15.5 weeks there.

H - Hair. I hate my hair. It is frizzy and can't decide whether it should be straight or curly. Let's not even mention the added gray...

I - Is.aac is my husband's name. We started dating when we were juniors in high school, and got married 13 years later. Better late than never, right? This year will mark our seventh anniversary.

J - Ja.son is my son. He is the "younger" twin, but was originally twin A in the womb. So, he has had the chance to be both the older and younger brother. Who gets that opportunity when he is a twin?

K - Kelly green is one of my favorite colors.

L - Las Vegas is where I won $1000 on a "Wheel of Fortune" slot machine. I wanted to get one of those big checks they take your picture with to put up on the wall of fame. They sucked and wouldn't give me one. Humph.

M - Mama is something I so desperately wanted to be. I thank God every day that I was given the chance to be one.

N - No is a common word around my house nowadays. Sadly, it is becoming more and more ineffectively lately!

O - OMG, You Rock Day is something I am participating in next month. I am pretty excited, especially now that I know who I am partnered with for it!

P - Pepsi is right up there with chocolate! I am totally addicted.

Q - Quiet is how I like my house in the evenings. I rarely get it until about 9:30 PM. Then I tend to stay up way too late to soak all the quiet in.

R - Religious, I am not. But, I do have a very strong sense of right and wrong, and I do believe in a higher power. I am just not exactly sure what that power is yet.

S - Sh.awn is also my son. He is my "older" twin. Sh.awn has had a rough road to health, but he has finally achieved it. Now I just like to marvel at his strength and determination.

T - Teacher is my profession. I love what I do--on most days, at least.

U - Used to be someone who hated to cause scenes. I have no problem causing them when I need to now. Far too much experience with hospitals and doctors will do that to a person.

V - Very happy most of the time.

W - Wii Fit has become my new favorite game. We did find out that it can be pretty cruel, though. It measures your BMI and made my husband's Mii a little plump because his BMI was out of the normal range. Plus, it says "Oh!" when he steps on the fitness board. Isn't that awful? (he really isn't that big, either!)

X - X is the position I like to sleep in at night. Right smack dab in the middle of the bed. I can't sleep like that very often because, well, Is.aac is there. He gets all uptight about it when I do!

Y - Years I've been with my husband? In June it will be 20. Years. Holy shit. He's old! Ahem.

Z - Zoos are fast becoming my favorite places to visit with my boys.
