The ABC’s of Bing

Sharon did this meme earlier today, and it was interesting to read, so I thought I’d do one too.  Two posts in one day!  What is this craziness?  I’m not feeling well and working is not on the top of my priority list today!

The ABC’s of Bing

A – Advocate For: Being self-confident and believing in yourself.  Helping other people or animals when you can.  Not being selfish and stuck up.

B – Best Feature: I really like my eyes.  They are a pretty brown with  a touch of hazel in them.  I also love my chest.  What?  People pay a lot of money to get a rack like mine! 🙂

C – Could do without: The spare tire that is living on my mid-section.  5-day work weeks.   All this rain we keep having in Atlanta.  The cold I feel like I am about to get.

D – Dreams & Desires: I would love to be able to take an extended time off and travel the world.  I have such an appreciation for the customs, history, culture and foods of other countries that I’d like to be able to experience them.  I would also love to go to culinary school.  I am fascinated by all things cooking and food-related.  One day I’d like to own my own PR firm where I’d make the rules.

E – Essential items: Chapstick, I can’t go anywhere without it because I’m so addicted.  Lotion, I hate having dry skin and the feeling of it.  Hair dye, my real color is oh-so-boring.  Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper, my only sources of caffeine since I’m not much of a coffee drinker.

F – Favourite pastime: Hanging out with my family and friends. Watching food-related shows on TV or movies.  Cooking.  Traveling.  Reading a good book, one that’s nearly impossible to put down.  Playing board games!

G – Good at: I am good at making friends.  People always kid me that I can make friends where ever I go.  I feel that is an important quality to have.  I am also a good listener and good at being there for people when they need a shoulder to cry on.  Writing – I wouldn’t be in PR if I didn’t feel I was a strong writer.

H – Have never tried: Bungee jumping, sky diving, parasailing – I would like to bungee jump or skydive one day.  Parasailing freaks me out too much.  Traveling alone – I think I’d get too lonely to travel by myself.

I – If I Had a Million Dollars: I would buy my dream house, plan that trip around the world, help friends and family who needed a boost, and donate some money to causes I believe in.

J – Junkie For: Bacardi and Diet Coke with lemon.  It’s my drink.  I always have one (or more) when we go out.  Animals – I would love to have a place where I could keep all sorts of animals and provide them with a home and food.  I want to save every homeless animal I see.

K – Kindred Spirit: I don’t think I have a specific kindred spirit.  There are some people in my life that I connect with more on some levels than others, but I don’t think there’s just one.

L – Little Known Fact: I can say my alphabet backwards.  I pride myself on this because not many people can.  Sometimes I can do it in French and German too, but not as well as I can in English.  Try it, it’s fun!

M – Memorable Moment: Oh lord, it’s so hard to pick just one.  Meeting T.  Getting engaged.  Getting married.  Graduating high school and college…the list goes on.

N – Never Again Will I: I can’t think of one specific incident.  I’ll try to avoid doing dumb things that bit me in the past…

O – Occasional Indulgence: Hmm, I can’t think of anything specific.  Shopping sprees, expensive dinners, a tasty dessert.

P – Profession: I’m an account executive at a PR firm.  I love what I do, and I have awesome clients.

Q – Quote: “Throw out your cares and fly,”  Smashing Pumpkins – Zero

R – Reason to Smile: I have a wonderful husband, an awesome family, the greatest friends, a home I love, a great job where I get to do what I enjoy on a daily basis, and the people who are closest to me are fairly healthy.

S – Sorry About: Letting my bad temper get the best of me, especially around the people I love the most.  I’m hoping I will learn to simmer down as I get older.

T – Things That Are Worrying You Right Now: Getting sick – we are going on a company retreat this weekend, and I don’t want to feel bad all weekend.  No one wanting to buy our condo.

U – Uninterested In: I enjoy shopping and looking nice, but I can’t justify spending hundreds of dollars on designer shoes, purses or clothes.  I’m just too clumsy for that stuff, and I’d ruin it so fast!  Football – I love my college team, but could give 2 shits about the NFL or the other college teams that are playing.  If I didn’t go to a football school, I would not watch it.

V – Very Scared Of: Cockroaches, ‘nough said.  I’m also a bit squeamish about heights.  Sometimes I get really easily freaked out and other times I’m fine.  I’m also very scared of dying because I don’t know what to expect.  Will it be perma-blackness?  Will I reunite with my past loved ones?  I just don’t know.

W – Worst Habits: Smoking, drinking too much on the weekends, not eating as healthily as I should, not working out, cursing like a sailor.

X – X Marks My Ideal Vacation Spot: I would love to take a vacation to Greece or Fiji and spend the days soaking in the sun at the beach and eating mouth-watering cuisine!

Y – Yummiest Dessert: Anything chocolate ranks really high on my scale.   Carrot cake is a pretty close second.

Z – Zodiac Sign: Scorpio.  See below, because the descriptions pretty much sums me up.
