ABC's

The ABC's of me. Go ahead and try this. It is not easy. For every letter of the alphabet list something about yourself that others may not know. Sounds easy but towards the end, you are struggling to find words.

A=Athletic. I put this not because I am athletic but rather I am the opposite. I do not like sports and especially hate playing sports. Being the mother of two boys, I am trying to develop a little interest.
B=I have always been Shannon B. I started my life as Shannon Brown. I have become Shannon Beardall and the current Shannon Borowski.
C=CHEESECAKE! I am in love with cheesecake. I can eat it until I am sick.
D=Daughter.I am one of 4 daughters to my father. My poor father had no sons and now his daughters have all produced nothing but grandsons.
E=Engineer.I married a chemical engineer.
F=Forty.I am already dreaming and dreading the big FORTY! I don't know why the thought of turning forty sends me into hysterics. Age is but a number right?
G=Gladys. No, not the my middle name but the middle name of my beloved grandma. My fondest memory is of my grandma telling me her middle name was Glad-Ass. She would tell me to call her Grandma Happy Bottom.
H=Hymn. My favorite hymn at church is A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief
I= Iguana. I have a strong dislike of Iguanas. I think they are ugly and they bite. I would say it borderlines on a phobia.
J=Jader. I married my Jade Barrett Borowski in July of 2000. J also stands for Jaxson my baby.
K=Kentucky Fried Chicken. My LEAST favorite fast food. I HATE this fast food joint and gag just to see someone else eating it.
L=Laugh. I love to sit and laugh. My fondest memories are sitting with my family laughing because I come from a long line of comedians.
M=Mormon. I grew up in Utah but did not become active in the church until I was 22.
N=Nurse. I am currently working on my goal of become a nurse and have only 9 months left before I am completely finished with school!!!!
O=I spend a majority of my childhood in Orem, Utah. My teen years were spend in Provo, Utah
P=Poop (I bet you thought I was going to say Provo) I hate poop. So, since I hate everything there is to hate about it, I am going into a profession where I will deal with it probably everytime I work.
Q=Q-Tips. I am that person that likes to take Q-Tips and scratch the inside of my ears as far and deep as I can. I sometimes take the cotton off the end to get the full effect of the scratch.
R=Rabbit. Not the furry animal that you see running on the ground. I am talking about my Volkswagen Rabbit. My first car. It was white and a piece of junk. When I was 16 I sold it behind my parents back hoping to buy a ticket to Maui. They found out and confiscated the money (sadly, I never made it to Maui)
S=Snakes. Snakes are my phobia. I have monthly nightmares about them and can't even stand to look at them behind the glass of the zoo. I think they are utterly repulsive.
T=Tone deaf. I am tone deaf and also the best singer in the Sewell ward-according to my ears.
U=Unicycle. I don't know how to ride a unicycle and I'm okay with that
V=Violin. I never learned how to play the violin. I played the clarinet and the flute. I wanted to be in the orchestra but my mom put me in the band. Had I been in the orchestra, I would have played the Violin. I remember watching Little House on the Prairie and I envied Pa for the way he played that violin.
W=Watermelon. I love watermelon. It is my favorite fruit next to raspberries.
X=X-rays. I took many, many, many x-rays on teeth when I worked as a dental assistant. I still have dreams at night of positioning the camera just right to get that perfect angle of the teeth.
Y=Yoo-Hoo. Quite possibly the most disgusting drink ever made. I do not know how my kids drink this brown liquid.
Z=Zabriskie. My mothers maiden name and the last name of my beloved Grandma mentioned earlier (please see G)
