on eleven things...

I saw this fun little idea passed along from one blog to another. I originally spotted this over at Danielle's blog Sometimes Sweet and even though she didn't tag me on this little shindig (since most likely she doesn't even know I exist!) I'm going to take it upon myself to just hop on the bandwagon. 

There are five rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Go to their blog/twitter and tell them you've tagged them.

11 random things:

1\\ I not a huge fan of fruit. I know, weird. But I've never really been a fan. However, I'm starting to broaden my horizons and so far I've gained a liking to pineapple, cantaloupe, raspberries & blueberries (but only in blueberry pie). 

2\\ I beat up shoes like nobodies business. I'll wear a pair of shoes until there are serious holes in them. And I do it with no shame. I think it's because I get sort of attached to my shoes. I walk in them everyday and so I don't really want to let them go. It's a problem. 

3\\ I have dreams of the future and I'll wake up to realize that whatever I just dreamt is so perfect! Not sure if that even makes any sense at all but for example, I dreamt a couple weeks ago about my hair salon that I opened (something that I'd like happen in the future) and when I woke up I remembered the name of the salon  and the entire look of it and loved it! Loved it so much that it's embedded into my brain. I've even written things down so I don't forget. Weird huh?

4\\ Have you ever just look at someone and wanted to know what their about? I look at people and wish I could just go up to them and be like hey, tell me your life story. And do it with out being arrested. One of my life goals is to just do that once, grab someone who looks really really interesting to me and just have coffee with them and really talk about everything. 

5\\ I have this slight obsession with all my TV shows. I have a very long list of TV shows that I watch every week and if I don't get to see them on TV I will watch them online. It has to be done or my universe will be upset and I will just shatter. 

6\\ While others go to Vegas or tropical & exotic islands for a getaway I'll be the one to choose a bed & breakfast by the bay in Maryland or a rich earthy cabin in the woods or just go on a fishing trip.

7\\ I'm always more comfortable in plain skinny jeans and a hoodie. Always have been. 

8\\ I have a crazy memory. I can remember everything! It's like a super power. 

9\\ I wear glasses and need them all the time. If I take them off I am, what I call, blind! 

10\\ When I'm in my kitchen cooking or baking away I like to pretend I have my own cooking show. No big deal. It's quite awesome and I'm sure you all wish you could be a part of my audience. 

11\\ Like before I said I can remember things & take stock of tons of memories well, I keep memories too! I hoard them but in an organized way :) I've kept all of Sebastian's artwork ever since he has started daycare & preschool. I have a huge plastic storage container that I keep everything in and I also label every craft or picture with the date & his age. I'll do this for all my children. 

Danielle's 11 questions:

1. If money, schooling or time was no obstacle, what career would you choose?

I would become a journalist. I would love to write for a magazine or newspaper about important issues or travel the world and share important knowledge with people everywhere. To a make a different with my words has always been a passion. 

2. What's the one thing you look forward to every day?

Coffee. Sorry but when I read this question coffee was the first thing that popped in my head. Gahh, how horrible is that!? Anyways, I work with coffee and am quite addicted to it. I love the taste, the smell and how happy it makes me!

3. What is your number one, all-time, favorite blog?

The Dainty Squid. Kaylah is such a cute gal. She just has the perfect blog! Full of color and cheerful things and she always manages to make me smile. If you haven't seen the latest from her cat, you have to check it out. I seriously laughed out loud. No joke.

Too much information. It bothers me when people, especially on facebook or twitter, announce every single little thing their doing. Or when people voice really controversial opinions when it's really not appropriate.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R Ward. Chalk full of vampire goodness!

6. What would your "last meal" be?

Bobby and I are proof of love at first site :)

Being able to sleep in until 8am!! That's all I ask for.
