Francine, I do this for you.

1. The first rule is to post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 things about yourself/your life.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.      I'm such a rebel.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

No shame.

1.  I hate it when jeans pockets are pulled inside out.
2.  I had a pile of clothes I've been meaning to iron for the past 2 months (no, there are no pj's).
3.  I'm a pro at writing resumes.
4.  I'm slightly embarrassed about loving Taylor Swift's music.  
5.  I really want to own a bicycle.
6.  I'm moving up in the alphabet in 6 months.
7.  I love making fun of terrible movies.
8.  My mom is awesome.  (She still buys me chocolate, and sends it to me every week.)
9.  I love other people's gardens, but not quite enough to want to have my own.
10. My nails are a really awesome color of purple, thanks to my housemate.
11. I feel really important when I put on sunglasses.


1. Favorite go-to meal/recipe? (I just need more ideas to add to my rotation)  


Ha.  I'm humored that you would ask, since I spend an average of 4 minutes cooking every week.  (Seth loves me anyway.)  I'd say either the can of Progresso soup I have sitting in the pantry or maybe pancakes.  I can send you the recipe if you want.  Hope you find that helpful.


2. Drink of choice?


Chai Tea Lattes made with soy milk.  Of course I can't afford them, but they're pretty fantastically delicious.  I also love peach sangria!

3.  Would you rather read the book or watch the movie?


The book snob in me says read, the sloth in me says watch the movie.  I prefer both, so then I can tear apart the movie with my finely tuned critical skills. 

4. Public, private, or home schooled?


Me or my God-willing-future-children-to-be? I was pretty happy with public school.  I have no idea where my children will go to school...one thing at a time!

5. If you won the lotto, how would you spend the money?


Seth and I seriously talked about this just yesterday.  So many things!  I would want to pay off all of my friend's student loans (and my own).  I think I'd take my parents to Ireland, and set up a college fund for these God-willing-future-kids-to-be that I don't have educational plans for.  Maybe a few several pairs of shoes.  And lots of fun pens and stationary.

6. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?


This one's hard!!!  Near all of my family and friends, if that was possible.  I don't exactly have a place nailed down, but I'd like to live somewhere with four seasons and grass and trees and water (sorry Phoenix).  Light on the snow.  Heavy on the sun.


7. Favorite way to waste time/procrastinate?


Ugh.  I wish it wasn't facebook.

8. What is your love language?


Quality time :)

9. Favorite movie?


Jane Eyre.  

10. Favorite TV show?


Downton Abbey/Gilmore Girls.

11. If you could spend one day doing whatever you wanted, what would you do? 


I think I'd like to fast-forward to September 29th, please :)
