It's Vacation Time!

{via}

Today is my last day @ the office before my fabulous, well-deserved vacation week! The Hubs and I are packed, arrangements are all set for my cat sitter, I've picked out my beach reads and the iPod is ready!   

Mariam @ Mon Style De Vie tagged me in a little question/answer game, so I have to thank her for making my Friday post a piece of cake (my brain is already on vacation!) Mariam is new to the blogging world, but she's ready to share her love for fashion with the world, so check her out!  Her blog is where I first learned that Madonna & her daughter, Lourdes, were coming out with their own 80's-inspired clothing line, which is way too cool!

The rules are to answer the following 8 questions, then make up 8 of your own questions and tag some of my blogging pals to join in the fun!

1. What current style do you think will end up being a fad?
I'm a fan, but I think the Fit Flops/ Sketchers Shape Ups will eventually fade away, kinda like light-up sneakers did! (However, I thought I saw a kid wearing them the other day.  Are light ups back?!?)

2. What's your guilty pleasure?
Dark Chocolate.  Milk Chocolate. Chocolatey things.  And Bath & Body Works

3. What made you decide to start a blog?
Too much flowing through my little brain... I had to get it out! 

4. Favourite Past time
Reading, being artsy/craftsy, relaxing and chatting with my husband.

5. Do you have a job or are you a student?
I used to be a student - how I miss those days!  I work full time for a drug, alcohol, & mental health tx agency.

6. Favourite Chocolate Bar/Candy?
m&ms! Plain, Peanut Butter, Pretzel, doesn't matter!

7. Money/Love?
Love, for sure.  I don't have a whole lot of money (see question 5) so I don't miss it! I would definitely miss having Love in my life. 

8. Favourite Music & Movie Genre?
Music - this is so hard to pick, I will say "Pop/Rock" 70% of the time.
Movies - I'm drawn to comedies/romantic comedies (I LOVE "Definitely, Maybe!") I like a little bit of everything, though!
 
 
And now, the 8 questions I made up, along with the lovely ladies I tagged:
1. You have $100 to spend on a fun present for yourself.  What are you going to buy?
2. Accomplishment you're most proud of?
3. What is your favorite smell?
4. Your dream car?
5. Favorite Season?
6. What's your favorite way to relax?
7. What was your favorite candy as a kid?
8. It's a cold winter day, you're home alone. What now?

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!  I am looking forward to a couple days of relaxation before heading off to the beach for even more relaxation :)
I'm going to be reading Richard Russo's That Old Cape Magic, and Jennifer Weiner's Best Friends Forever while i'm bumming it up at Myrtle. I've read several of Russo's novels, but this is my first Jennifer Weiner read!  I'm looking forward to trying out a new author.   
 

Judging by the book covers, they look like perfect summer reads!


Happy Friday!

Welcome to all of those stopping by from

Getting to Know me Sunday :)

It's SUNDAY!  Which means it's time for Getting to Know You @ Mannland 5!


Getting to know YOU



1. If you had to choose a country to live in besides USA (or the country you live in), which would it be?
I'm thinking somewhere in Europe - the art, architecture, style, and food is awesome :)

2. Which would be worse, wearing flip flops in the snow or wearing gloves in the summer?
Flip Flops in the snow!  My feet get cold super easily, even with layers of socks and my fuzzy suede boots on - I've suffered through several late season football games because of bundled up but cold feet, I can't imagine wearing flip flops in the wintertime! BRRR!

3. Fried or Bake and why?
Really, it depends on the food.  But since I have some off the charts cholesterol levels, I tend to stick with the baked stuff.  

4. If you were an entertainment reporter, which celeb would you love to interview and why?
I would definitely stalk and interview the cast of the Twilight series.  They're the hottest thing at the moment, they're all beautiful people, and lots of people would tune in.

5. What was your favorite book as a preteen/teenager?
Sweet Valley High Series!   I loved those books sooo much - they actually taught me a lot about first loves, teenage drama, etc.  Sad, but true.  Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield, I owe you one!

6. List your top 3 guilty pleasure television shows.
Bachelor/Bachelorette, Be Good Johnny Weir, and beauty pageants! 

7. What bumper sticker slogan best describes you/your attitude/your life?
"When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout" - this is definitely me, in a nutshell.  I am a super freaky, nervous and NOT so calm person in most situations! 

8. If you were to join a circus - what performer would you be?
I would play with those beautiful kitties!  I would love to train/perform alongside gorgeous tigers and lions... only, I'm a big chicken, so even if given the opportunity somehow, it probably wouldn't happen. I would "run in circles, scream and shout" for sure!


Head on over to Mannland5 to answer your own Getting to Know Me questions! If you're stopping by from there, please take some time to say "Hi"!

Have a great Sunday!
