Day 2 is NICKNAMES:
I've had quite a few nicknames over the years. Some coming from my younger years, and the most recent have been given to me by my husband. Not all of them have stuck, but that's okay.
When I was younger my Grammy and Papa used to call me "Princess." I know, kinda cliche', but I was the first granddaughter on my Dad's side and that's what they called me for years. Eventually saying it out loud died down and it would only appear as the intro to a birthday card. And now, it's a rare occasion to hear that nickname.
Through the later years of elementary school, it became apparent to my classmates that I was "vertically challenged." So then came the short jokes and nicknames. One particular afternoon in 5th grade, I played short-stop in kickball...One clever fellow put it together and for the next couple of years, those that were closest to me called me "Short Stop." Hilarious right? lol
Jumping ahead, when I met my husband, Allen, for some reason he started calling me "Angel" pretty quickly into our courtship. He still calls me "Angel" to this day. It's not necessarily a name I would have chosen, but it's endearing and it still makes me so happy to hear him calling me by that name.
There have been many more nicknames over the years, but those are the few that stick out. What is the most interesting nickname YOU'VE ever been given?
DAY 3: YOUR FIRST LOVE
Now, with this particular topic, I could go the route that most think of when given this topic of conversation. I could tell you about the first boy I fell in love with...But, that's complicated. Whether or not it was actually "love," is debatable at this point. At the TIME, I considered it love. But now, looking back, I realize it was simply the over-exaggerated emotions of a teenage girl who was already tired of the dating scene.
So, I'm going to change it up a bit. I'd say my FIRST LOVE, was food. HA! Ever since I was little, my mom said I was a good eater. Well, I didn't put up a fight when it came to food. Most of the food that started out on my high chair tray was divided up between my mouth, hair, and the floor. To this day, I love to cook. I love to eat. I especially love trying new recipes and cooking for other people. I will admit that I'm a picky eater though. NOT as picky as some, but it is hard for me to try new things sometimes. Some of my favorite dishes include, but are not limited to: Spaghetti, Tacos, Sweet n' Sour Chicken, BBQ chicken, and a simple Green Salad with either Ranch dressing or a viniagrette of some kind. :)
Now I'm all caught up. Let's see how the next few days of this blog challenge play out. ;-)
