I may be the last blogger on Earth to finally do the “Blogger ABC” post, but better late than never, right? Here are some fun facts about yours truly: 

A. Age: 23

B. Bed Size: A full that often reminds me of the crazy day I spent in IKEA to make that mattress a reality in my life. 

C. Chore You Dislike: Scrubbing floors. This disdain probably comes from my mom’s habit of NEVER using a mop, because, obviously, you cannot achieve a proper clean unless you’re on your hands and knees.

D. Dogs: None. Maybe someday?

E. Essential Start to Your Day: Turning off my cell phone alarm, then immediately switching to my email app to see if I missed any important messages. (Does that certify me as a nerd?).

F. Favorite Color: Blue, in any hue! Dark, light, denim, royal…

^ Imagine some of this action to go along with answer “Q.” ;)  

G. Gold or Silver: Tough call. I guess I’d say silver, but I’d be more than happy with either if you’re asking for a reason ;)

H. Height: 5’6, and among the tallest in my immediate family!

I. Instruments You Played: When I was young I played piano and percussion (bells, snare drum, cymbals, etc.), but didn’t practice nearly enough

J. Job Title: Editorial Assistant

K. Kids: Undecided. We’ll see when it comes up because it’s still a long way down the road!

L. Live: Queens, NY 

M. Mom’s Name: Marcia

N. Nicknames: I’ve always been just Karla, except for a short stint in high school when I was “K-Dub.” To make sure I don’t respond, try “Kar.”

O. Overnight Hospital Stays: None to speak of (knock on wood).

P. Pet Peeves: Those who chew with their mouths open, not saying “excuse me” when the situation calls for it, people who walk slow in the fast lane, second hand smoke.

Q. Quote From a Movie: “I’m 6’5, 220 and there’s two of me.” Name that movie!

R. Righty or Lefty: Righty.

S. Siblings: Two awesome older sisters, Amy and Sarah

T. Time You Wake Up: Depending on if I have a morning workout scheduled, between 6:30 and 7:15.

U. Underwear: Hm, that’s an odd question! I prefer Body by Victoria seamless bikini cut if you must know. No workout wedgies! TMI?

V. Vegetables You Don’t Like: Raw Brussels sprouts, most bitter greens. 

W. What Makes You Run Late: Finishing up the Hulu episode I’m streaming, chatting on Twitter, (and most often) slow subway trains.

X. X-Rays You’ve Had: A knee x-ray or two, one on my foot (stress fracture) and the usual teeth scans!

Y. Yummy Food You Make: I’ve been told I’m a pretty good cookie baker, and I enjoy these muffins!

Z. Zoo Animal Favorites: Giraffes and zebras. And I was lucky enough to see them up close and personal on safari in Africa a couple of years ago!
