Alphabet Tag...Go, Go, Go for G

I accepted an Alphabet Tag from my friend, Mary Ann...

All you have to do is make a list of ten of your favorite (or not so favorite) things. But there is a little catch. Everything on the list has to start with a specific letter of the Alphabet. That letter is randomly assigned by the blogger who you are playing with!

I've been assigned the letter G:

Great Big Gobs of Girlie Goop: I love makeup...Everything about it!(except for the way it feels in the morning after forgetting to take it off the night before) I love it when it shimmers. I love it when it's matte. I love how sometimes it's scented or flavored. It makes smooching my husband even more fun...except, he always wipes it off. (Probably has something to do with it being unprofessional for a doctor whose not female to wear lipstick). Mt favorite kind of lipstick is Estee Lauder because it smells like roses.

Giants, as in They Might Be: They are a great band! They have this great ABC album out. It makes me laugh every time I listen to it. It's a bunch of grown men singing and paying homage to the institution that is the alphabet.

Girls: I have three of the coolest daughters in the world. I never knew He-Man and I would ever be so happy surrounded by kids. Someday, we may even figure out how to throw a few boys in the mix. What's a synonym of 'boy' that starts with 'G'?

Gazillion: As in the amount of children I want to have. When I was in a single's ward, I was voted "Most Likely to Have 14 Kids." I was mortified. Then recently my dear friend Tricia made me see how great having a dozen kids would be. I just hope we can have a few sets of twins in there. Does that mean I'm completely insane?

Goober's Lab: I have an embarrassing confession. I'm totally addicted to my daughter's Webkinz game, "Goober's Lab". I can't stop playing it!! Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can still see the little round balls...

Greens: I love salad! Anything leafy, crunchy and raw mixed with feta or Parmesan cheese, blueberries or cranberries, nuts, etc. Just throw it all in there and I'd be in Lettuce Euphoria.

Greg: Soooooo not my favorite! The guy with which I experienced my first kissing disaster. It was really cold and I had to go to the bathroom and I really didn't want to kiss him.

Gross: Apricots, baseball sized gobstoppers, liver and onions, Goldfish...YUCK!

Grandma M: One of my favorite people in the world. I want to be just like her.

Germany: I want to live there someday and ride a bike everywhere I go, plant a garden a mile away from my house and play hide and seek in castle ruins.

Gelato: As in, I want to swim in a ginormous pool of hazelnut flavored Gelato...somewhere in Italy. Since I'll be living in Germany, it will be just a hop, skip and a jump away.

Greek Food: Hummus, olives, Gyros...is there anything yummier?

Gregory Peck: One of the greatest actors, EVER! His portrayal of 'Atticus Finch' in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is beyond remarkable. Atticus is one of the most benevolent characters in fictional contemporary literature.

Go, Go, Go for G!!


If you want to play the alphabet tag game- leave me a note in the comments and I will assign you a letter

Ok, I love synonyms and I've taken it as a challenge to find a synonym for boy that starts with G. The first 2 that come to mind aren't so good: gangsta and gigolo. But they are pretty funny! I'll let you know if I come up with more since I'll probably be thinking about it while I'm trying to fall asleep tonight.

Yes, but that's totally okay. :) I love you anyway.

Great list. I agree about the Greek food. Hummus and pita bread are one of my favorite treats ever. And, whenever I bring olives in the house, I get to eat them all myself because nobody else likes them. Yum! :) Their loss, my gain.

As I was falling asleep last night...DUH! The most obvious answer: "guy." Silly that that didn't come to mind sooner. So, I guess this means your next baby will be a boy! :)

Also, gentleman or gent!

Love it! You are so funny. Greek, food- yum!

I loved all your G words.

I'll play, but you better give me a good letter.

I love that high school picture of you with the quadruple chin tuck. Most impressive. What I want to know is why tucking in sweatshirts was an acceptable practice back in the day.
