Time For Another BLAG

So on two different blogs that I regularly read, I was tagged...one specifically named yours truly, and the other one was a general, "If you are reading this...consider yourself tagged" type BLAG (Blog + Tag).

So, to appease the masses, I am going to accomplish both BLAGs here. The first is from Hayley and the second from my cousin Lisa:

BLAG # 1 - The A to Z tag:

A - Attached or Single: "ALONE" would have been a better "A" word here...which of course I would have to apply to my current status in life

B - Best Friends: I like that they made this a plural opportunity, because I have several friends that I would rank right up there in the "Best" category. I will break this down by relative and non-relative. First the Relatives: Erik, Noah, Gabe, Craig, Scott, Daren. Non-Relative: Blue, KA, Tim F., Scott B., Alma, Beckie and Todd B.

C - Cake or Pie: Both is an option right? Ok...gun to my head, I would have to chose pie

D - Day of choice: What kind of question is this? I would have to say TODAY

E - Essential Item: Oxygen

F - Favorite Color: Whatever actually matches when I go out in public so I am not flogged and sneered at, or embarrassing to my family

G - Gummy Bears or Worms: Gonna have to go with Worms

.H - Hometown: Good ol' Payson, UT...where everyone knows your name...

I - Indulgence(s): PCH Chili Cheese Dogs

J - January or July: Both fantastic months with good things to offer...

K - Kids: Yes...I've heard of them

L - Life is incomplete without: the letters L, I, F, or E

M - Marriage Date: Half past Febru-later

N - Number of Siblings: Cinco

O - Oranges or Apples: I know this one! They are fruits!

P - Phobias or Fears: Lupislipophobia: The fear of being chased around a kitchen table by ravenous wolves on a freshly waxed floor wearing socks

Q - Quotes: Aren't those the little punctuation marks that go around things people say? Like, "Anyone who takes offense when no offense is intended, is an idiot." Mark Twain

S - Season: Tabasco is a seasoning in my book

T - Tag Three Friends: I'd rather not

U- Unknown fact about me: My life is a pretty open book to all

V - Very favorite store: Any book store

W - Worst habit: Eating out ALL the time

X - X-ray or Ultrasound: I'm really not sure what to answer here...I defer this one to someone who knows far more than I do on such topics...JASON!

Y - Your favorite food: Chili Dogs...hands down

Z - Zodiac: Libra or Virgo...depending on which calendar you look at. Being born on the Autumnal Equinox means: I'm special.

Wow...did you read it all or just skip to this point?

I bet you are curious where I am currently standing on the pet snake issue...I have had a lot of people weigh in. First of all, Gretch...it was Noah's snake that got loose. Second...to those who have stated they won't come visit me if I get a snake...I have made arrangements for a "Sitter" any time you want to come down. And finally...I still don't know if I am going to get one. But for anyone who knew me back when I was in elementary school...you should remember that it has always been my dream to have a pet snake for more than a few days. Ask the Payson Library...I think I was the only person that checked out every single reptile book they had for a good 8 year period, (no, it didn't take me 8 years to get through elementary school...just my fascination with the Herpetology sciences extended well into my teenage years).

However....no snake yet. I'll keep you posted.
