ABC…easy as 1, 2, 3

Written by Lauren Folkmann, Posted in Uncategorized

So last night I drank a little too much wine…and beer and Mike’s famous “Norman” drink. Needless to say I have done absolutely nothing productive today. So I figured I’d attempt a blog post, luckily a fun little “get to know me” ABC post is going around the blog world-I can handle that! I can’t promise my usual fantastically witty humor, hangovers tend to temporarily slow my brain cells down, but I’ll do my best for you guys!

A. Age: 27…I actually had to think about that for a second, when did I get into my late 20’s?!

B. Bed size: gotta have a Queen

C. Chore you hate: emptying the dishwasher-hate, abhor, loathe, despise.

D. Dogs: I love my big cuddly puppy Bailey! Really, I love all dogs-unless they’re mean to me 😉

E. Essential start to your day: pee and take my dog out to pee. hahaha! Those were the only 2 things I could think of that I do every single day!

F. Favorite color: Green

G. Gold or silver: Lately I’ve been loving gold, my mom had my baby locket engraved with an “L” for Valentine’s Day so as of late that’s been my fav necklace-plus I love my gold watch! But I still love my silver and have tons of it!

H. Height: 6’1″…yes, I am tall…very tall.

I. Instruments you play: does Rock Band guitar count? haha! I used to play the Clarinet back in the day, but that’s where my musical abilities end!

J. Job title: Registered Business Analyst (a pharmacist gone corporate!)

K. Kids: Love them, but not for me….yet 😉

My best friend’s baby girl Lennon

L. Live: Chicago…Chicago girl to the bone.

M. Mom’s name: Christine, super-mom, super-woman!

Wasn’t I the cutest baby ever?!?

N. Nicknames: Lo, L, V,

O. Overnight stays in hospital: Exactly one year ago today I had to have an emergency appendectomy and stayed overnight at Northwestern Memorial….it sucked, a lot, but the staff at Northwestern are fantastic! At least I’ll never have to do that again!

P. Pet peeve: Slow drivers!

Q: Quote from a movie: “I like to think of Jesus with, like, big eagle’s wings, singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk.” -Talladega Nights

R: Right or left handed: Right

S. Siblings: younger brother Stephen…love you SV!

T: Time you wake up: 5:55am on weekdays…and as late as I can get away with on the weekends!

U: Underwear: I usually buy mine from GapBody…but that’s all I’m sayin’!

V: Vegetables you dislike: Olives and artichokes (unless they’re drenched in a cheesy dip-the artichokes that is, I don’t like olives under any circumstances)

W: What makes you run late: If I can help it nothing-I hate being late….but sometimes traffic wins.

X: X-rays you’ve had: What x-rays haven’t I had? I broke my leg when I was younger and was always injuring my ankles and knees while playing basketball in high school, so I’m pretty sure my lower half has had its fair share of radiation. Between several other bumps and bruises I’m pretty sure my upper half has had its fair share as well!

Y: Yummy food you make: Not to toot my own horn, but I make lots of yummy food 🙂 My favs are my chocolate chip cookies and my spicy shrimp pasta!
