So here’s a little self-portrait (I did the best I could…which means I put the camera on top of the t.v. in the guest room at my sister’s house). I didn’t go pixie, but I definitely cut a good couple of inches off. And, considering I had this done at 6 am and it was almost midnight when I took the picture, and I’d flown two hours, I think it still looks pretty good. I love my stylist! Seriously!
To chop or not to chop? That is the question.
I have an appointment with Laura tomorrow at 6 am. (Yes, I have an amazing stylist who is going to meet me at 6 am since I am going out of town tomorrow for eight whole days and my hair is way overdo for a cut and color!) Stay tuned…
My roommate and I once: skinny dipped in Hawaii. Is that too much information?
Never in my life have I: jumped out of a plane.
High school was: a mixture of serious highs and lows. To quote Charles Dickens, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…”
When I’m nervous: my mouth gets really dry. I hate it. I become crazy cotton mouth.
My hair: is thick and grows really fast. I now realize just what a great blessing that is.
When I was 5: I walked home from school almost every day with my friend, Seth. It was about a mile…how times have changed.
I should be: taking a shower and going to bed. I want to be up by 5:00 and I need my sleep.
By this time next year: I’ll know where I’m going to grad school, provided some school will overlook my bad grades and I do amazingly well on the GMAT.
My favorite aunt is: whichever one I’m talking to…and they are the ones who call themselves that.
I have a hard time understanding: some of the things people do…like children not in car seats/seat belts.
You know I like you if: I call you.
My ideal breakfast is: Swedish pancakes, made by my grandma. I can make them, but Grandma Goesch’s are ALWAYS better.
If you visit my home town: you will understand why I am in love with it. And why I have such horrible spending habits.
If you spend the night at my house: you’ll be in Queen Creek, AZ, spending the night with a very nice family who currently reside in it and pay rent (which, unfortunately, no longer covers the mortgage).
My favorite blonde is: Leif Stacey, at least today.
My favorite brunette is: my niece, B.
The animal I would like to see flying besides birds: probably pigs. Think of all the things that would happen because pigs would be flying.
I shouldn’t have been: so impatient…with everything. Patience is a virtue…that I do not possess.
Last night I: was very excited because my niece was born perfectly healthy, and cute to boot.
A better name for me would be: I don’t know. I love my name!
I’ve been told I look like: my sisters.
If I could have any car, it would be: a Range Rover, with free service and gas (they break down and guzzle fuel, but I love them). If those aren’t included, then a Lexus IS 350.
A – Attached or Single: Single…happily, happily, happily single, although I do miss kissing. Well, I guess I don’t need to be attached to be kissing, but I’ve learned from experience that attached is better than unattached when kissing.
B – Best Friend: If I had to choose one, well, I couldn’t. My sisters and then some. I have some dear, dear friends and they all fill different needs in my life, so I’m just going to say my sisters and leave it there.
C – Cake or Pie: Cake. I am not a pie person (I like them, occasionally, but not very often). But cake, I like all the time. My preference: Yellow or white cake (made from a box) with chocolate (from a tub) frosting.
D – Drink of Choice: Diet Coke, specifically from Sonic, with vanilla. But, as of today, I am off of carbonation and caffeine. Why? Because apparantly carbonation and caffeine are not good for running and I want to do everything I can to be ready for this marathon. Pretty much, just stay away from me for the next three to four days. Caffeine withdrawals are a b*@?#!
E – Essential Item: Lately, my camera. I can’t seem to be without it. Oh, and my cell phone.
F – Favorite Color: Tune in tomorrow for this one. It’s the spt challenge for this week and I have chosen to participate.
G – Gummi Bears or Worms: Worms. Definitely worms.
H – Hometown: Walnut Creek, CA. It’s a little suburb of San Francisco.
I – Indulgence(s): Books, blogging, Swiss Milk Chocolate ice-cream from Fenton’s or Leatherby’s. Fenton’s is better, but Leatherby’s is here and not in California. Good bread, good cheese, and good chocolate. That’s what living in Europe will do to you. Oh, and sushi. Oh, and shoes. How could I forget shoes?! Evidently, I am quite indulgent…although anyone who knows me could have told you that.
J – January or July: July. I am a summer girl…at least now that I live in Utah and not Arizona.
K – Kids: None of my own, but five…soon to be six (my sister’s having a little girl tomorrow) nieces and nephews who I absolutely adore. You can see one of them here.
L – Life is incomplete without: My family, movies, music, books, good food, traveling and shopping.
M – Marriage Date: Thankfully, I don’t have one.
N – Number of Siblings: Four. Well, that’s the uncomplicated version. But really, I have a brother who died when he was five months old, long before I came along, so five.
O – Oranges or Apples: Totally depends, but probably oranges.
P – Phobias/Fears: Mutating bacterial infections. I know, that’s weird, but it’s real. Otherwise, my greatest fear is that something bad will happen to someone in my family. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night with a bad feeling and want to call every one of my siblings to make sure every one is okay.
Q – Favorite Quote: “It always works out.” – my mom
R – Reason to smile: My sister is having a baby tomorrow! I am so excited! I can’t wait to see this newest member of our family!
S – Season: Fall. I love the leaves changing. I love that it is still relatively warm. And my birthday is in the fall.
T- Tag Three: This has been around a lot so go tag yourself (and leave me a comment to let me know).
U – Unknown Fact About Me: I’m pretty vocal, so most people know most things about me (I talk way too much).
V – Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals: I am a happy oppressor of animals. I tried the vegetarian thing once and I can see the benefits of it, but I love me a good steak.
W – Worst Habit: Talking too much. I can be pretty self-absorbed. I don’t know what else. I’m sure my siblings would happily share them with you. Oh, not folding clean laundry. It just sits, for days, getting wrinkled.
X – X-rays or Ultrasounds: Interesting question. Since I’ve never had an ultrasound, I’m going to have to go with x-ray.
Y – Your Favorite Foods: See my indulgences.
Z- Zodiac: Scorpio
