Tag, you’re it!

20 Jan

This is a long one, friends!  I’ve seen this tag game float around the internet a lot lately.  Faison tagged me in her post earlier this week, and I thought I would join in the fun today! 

Rules of the game

1. You must post the rules.
2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, then create eleven new people to ask the people you’ve tagged.
4. Tag eleven people and link them on your post.
5. Let them know you’ve tagged them!

11 Facts
1. Brian and I started watching Cheers in July.  We are now on season 7.  For those of you keeping track at home, that’s roughly 7 seasons in 5 months.  Yikes.

2. Some of the most common key words that lead people to my blog are related to Disney, which I think is funny for a few reasons: 1) I love Disney movies a lot. 2) I wasn’t aware that I blogged about it so much.  I feel like people searching for these keywords are disappointed when they get here.  I’m sorry, kindred spirits!

3. A lot of my blog posts from the past have pictures that are no longer functioning.  I apologize.  If I were a better blogger I might go back and remedy this.  I’m not.

4. If I could pick, I would stay up until midnight every night and wake up at 9:00.  That would be ideal.

5. I hate celery.  But I pretty much like everything else, food wise.

6. I’m kind of messy sometimes.  I don’t want to be.  But somehow piles manage to creep up.  Especially when I’m living in small spaces.  Can I have my mansion now, please?

7. I have a desktop computer.  This isn’t that interesting, but I felt like you should know that I sit in the same corner of our apartment every time I blog, tweet, comment… whatever. Maybe I’ll take a picture of my corner some time and give you a visual (I like to sing a song from Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella when I think about my corner. Name that tune! Anyone? Is that just me?)

8. My main form of employment right now is substitute teaching.  Can you tell I’m sleepy right now? Yes, that is because I got up at 6:40 this morning. It is now 10:30 the night before you read this. Lame, yes? I don’t like to get up before 7:00 (see #4)

9. Have you seen Crazy, Stupid, Love? That speech that Steve Carell gives at the end?  I met my soulmate at 15 and we went out for ice cream? That is my life. (I won’t ruin the movie for you, but if you’ve seen it, the similarities don’t extend the whole way, if you know what I’m saying) Also, I got chocolate on cake and Brian got vanilla on sugar.  None of that peppermint chocolate chip nonsense.

10. Actually, Turkey Hill’s Choco Mint Chip is really baller. Eat it. Love it. I don’t know why I was hating on mint chocolate chip ice cream.

11. I feel like I don’t post very many pictures of myself on here, and when I do, they are all sorta similar.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t plan on changing that, but I thought I would dig this oldie but goody out of my files for your enjoyment.  You’re welcome.

Faison’s Questions

1. Tea or coffee?
COFFEE!  I love iced tea a lot though, too.  But I drink lots of coffee every day.


2. What is your favorite place in the world?
I would have to say the beach.  My family goes to the Outer Banks in North Carolina every year, and I always feel so relaxed!

3. What did you major in college, or majoring in now?
I was an architecture major in college.  I graduated last May.

4. If you have your ears pierced, do you prefer studs or dangle earrings?
My ears are really sensitive, so I have two pairs of stud earrings (pearls and fake diamonds) that are the only ones I wear.

5. What jewelry do you wear daily?
I wear my rings every day, and that’s about it.  When I sub I wear one of my super fancy watches (I have a blue and a white one) and I’ll usually throw on a necklace.

6. It’s Friday night, and you have two choices: stay in and watch a movie or go out on the town. What would you choose?
99% of the time I stay in.  In college I went out a lot more, but these days I’m pretty chill and happy to stay at home.

7. If you have a day planner or organizer, which one do you have? 
I do, which I won from Faison’s giveaway!  It’s a Kate Spade planner, it’s so cute!  But I have to admit that I am really good about my Google calendar, too, which I adore!

8. When you travel, which do you prefer: Traveling by car, train, or plane? 
I’ve come to like road trips, so I guess I would have to say car.  Planes are exciting, though!  And I’ve actually never been on a train (if you’re not counting the subway.)

9. What is your go-to comfort food?
There are so many!  I would say mac and cheese or Chinese food.

10. What was your favorite Christmas/holiday gift that you received this year?
I got a pair of black riding boots this year.  I LOVE them!

11. Why did you start blogging?
I got addicted to reading blogs and I basically wanted to try it for myself.  I was also planning my wedding at the time, so for the first two years my blog was mostly about planning my wedding and my life in college.

My Questions (I’m stealing some from other bloggers because I’m figuring this is the first time you’re writing it)
1. What is your favorite ice cream flavor and brand? (can you tell that ice cream is a big deal to me?)

2. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?
3. What is the first blog you ever started reading/ following?
4. What is your favorite thing about blogging?
5. If you could change your name, would you?  If so, what would it be?
6. What is your favorite book?
7. You have twins tomorrow, a boy and a girl. What do you name them? (can you tell that I like names too?)

8. How long have you known your oldest friend?
9. What is your #1 favorite cosmetic product in your daily routine?
10. What was your favorite year of school?
11. What is your favorite holiday?
Sorry if I overloaded on what’s your favorite ____.  Again, sleepy.
Here’s where I break #4 and 5, friends.  I’m going to take a page out of Rachel’s book and not going to tag anyone, because I feel like if I just did it off the top of my head, half the people would have done it already. If you haven’t done this yet and you like my questions, I would LOVE to read your answers!  Consider yourself tagged!  Thanks for making it this far, guys!  Happy Friday!

    “In my own little corner in my own little chair…” I love that song! haha I'm really tempted to answer your questions on my blog but I've already done this so my followers would probably hate me =X haha. I'm so jealous that you were an architecture major. If I could change, I probably would go back and do that instead (except they didn't have that major at my school…)

    OMG – I totally love this picture! Pictures like this are my absolute favourite. It's nice to break out the funniness once and awhile right?

    I like your questions – I am going to save them for a post. I was thinking the other day that I don't really talk about myself too much. I am pretty vague – so I should share all my awesomeness with my small audience.

    p.s. I totally want ice cream now.
