11 Random Things

1. When I was young I named my favorite tree. Bernetta. She was great.
2. I also buried at least 3 different time capsules under Bernetta's limbs with my gal pals. Just like that one Full House episode. (you know the one).
3. I am weeks away from potentially paying off my federal student loan. One down, one to go.
4. Until this year I had never seen Christmas Vacation.
5. In high school I decopauged everything. ev-er-y-thing.

7. My only brother (only sibling!) is getting married next weekend.
8. I didn't own a cellphone until I was 22. If I could get away without one now, I would.
9. I have an HGTV + red wine work night problem
10. Tebow and Tswift? I'm not sure heaven can handle that.
11. I want a house of my own to decorate! I blame HGTV

11 Questions from Linda

1. 1. Have you ever pooped your pants? Not full on no. Come close though! Unless you count as a lil babe... then yes, obviously.
   2. Did you just lie in your answer to question #1? Nope!
   3. What are you proudest of having done? It's a tie between being published on PostSecret and running the half-marathon.
   4. What is your first memory of The Internet? I would tie up the phone line every afternoon to log onto AOL 2.0 and chat via AIM with people I just saw at school, specifically Jordan (my first HS crush)... till my mom kicked me off.
   5. What is your favorite book from childhood? A nerd from birth I have always loved books. Picking a favorite seems unfair! Here are a few that stand out: The Boxcar Children, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie (a favorite for any freckled gal) and all those sad stories about teens who get cancer.
   6. How long can you hold your breath? Apparently about 55 seconds.
   7. What is the best meal you’ve ever eaten? I've had a few too many good meals... but one that stands out was from Tavern on the Green in Central Park (RIP) I had a leg of lamb over polenta and it was heavenly. Seriously, divine!
   8. If you could revisit one place that you've been to before, where would it be? Swaziland. I miss it very much.
   9. What's your favorite treat/snack? POPCORN.
   10. What's the one thing that you swear you'll never do? I don't swear against anything anymore. The minute I say I'll never do something, I find myself wanting to do (and eventually doing) it.
