(I think these are fun, and I won't refuse this tag, though I will skip some questions as they don't apply. I like filling out superfluous questionaires.)
2: Ever been in love? TOTES! To my husband! And my dad when I was little...aaaaand still to this day. If he had asked me to marry him when I was three, I totally would have, and I would have thought I had the only prince in all the land.
3: Ever had a terrible breakup? Nah. Ew. My husband was my first boyfriend, even though I had dated lots of guys for extended periods before him. Dodged a lot of bullets, methinks. We were only boyfriend/girlfriend for like 2 1/2 weeks, because when you know, you know, you know?
4: How tall are you? 5'6"
5: How much do you weigh? 105 lbs--trying to gain 15! Definitely binging on smoked Gouda even though my belly is like, "WHAT THE HECK, YOU FOOL!"
6: Any tattoos? Not a one.
7: Any piercings? One hole in each earlobe, thank you very much.
9: Favorite show? The Dick Van Dyke Show, the Cosby Show, Psych, America's Test Kitchen, 30-Minute Meals with Rachael Ray, Rick Steves' Europe, cheesy Disney shows, because I can. (Lizzy McGuire! Even Stevens! Anyone?)
10: Favorite bands? I'm not hugely into popular music. Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band? The Carpenters' Christmas album? Alfie Boe! Piano Guys? I like random songs from random groups, but I can't commit to just one. I will say this though: if the band members look unkempt (what the HAIR?!) and distressed, I'm usually out. Can't take that energy...yuck.
11: Something you miss? Dancing. Being healthy and having boundless energy. Moving houses a lot and living in Europe. Being pregnant. Road trips. Eating all the things.
12: Favorite song? Greensleeves. I have many favorites, but this one pretty much wins.
15: Quality you look for in a partner? We're a LOT alike, and it helps so much! Laughter and childlike humor. Purity. Spiritual leadership. Testimony. Selflessness. Level-headedness. Smarts. Work ethic. Height (my only physical near-requirement when I was single, and my husband gets an "exceeds expectations!"). My husband has it all.
16: Favorite Quote? So many to choose from. I'll pick the one I have hanging closest to me on the wall: "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain." Splash in this puddles and laugh, baby!
17: Favorite actor? Dick Van Dyke, Jimmy Stewart, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly. Actresses: Julie Andrews, Emma Watson (as Hermione), Vera Ellen (when she dances).
18: Favorite color? Magenta!
19: Loud music or soft? Soft in the earbuds, loud on the dance floor.
20: Where do you go when you're sad? To my bed or AWAY (at least in my mind)--a change of scenery or a drive, something to shake out the vibe and clear the air.
21: How long does it take you to shower? Five minutes. Lather, rinse, GET OUT! I shave once a week because my hair is fair and fine, so that day it's probably double the time.
22: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? If I'm getting dolled up, from shower through breakfast is about an hour, maybe an hour and twenty if I keep changing outfits (I'm notorious for this).
23: Ever been in a physical fight? Petty pinches and shoves with my siblings when we were young. I'm not proud.
24: Turn on? I love my husband's light, his aura, his purity of heart. I also love his intrinsic scent--the way he smells sans fragrance. He's cuddly too--very nice.
25: Turn off? In personality? Creeper tendencies, crude manners, foul language, negative attitude, attitude of entitlement, poor hygiene.
27: Fears? Standard parent safety fears for my children. Pain attacks. That I won't get better. Social anxiety (that's the Lyme brain, I think).
28: Last thing that made you cry? A blog post I wrote, then didn't publish. It's a journal entry now.
29: Last time you said you loved someone? Right before I kissed my sweetheart goodnight. He's so easy to love.
31: Last book you read? A junior reader version of "Inside Out," the movie coming out next week. I think I know how the movie will go now. It might be deep. Can't wait to see it. I liked the book.
32: The book you're currently reading? I'm waiting for Stargirl to arrive at my door. I think it will either be empowering or weird. I bought it for a penny.
33: Last show you watched? A Disney show, "Lab Rats," last night while I was trying to keep my mind off of puking during my infusion.
34: Last person you talked to? My hunnybunnygoogoobear.
35: The relationship between you and the person you last texted? Him, again. Pretty dang good. Eternal marriage and growing love, and all that!
36: Favorite food? Thanksgiving dinner, ESPECIALLY MADE-FROM-SCRATCH STUFFING! Ain't nothing finer. Wisconsin Cauliflower soup from Zupas. My mom's potato cheese soup. Fire-roasted beef tostada drenched in dressing from Cafe Rio. Mexican. All of these foods give me, like, major emotional experiences, with crying and everything. AH! I want a cinnamon roll now. These are all forbidden. I don't really have foods available that bring me joy. It's like brushing my teeth: I do it cuz I hafta. Glad I can swallow though.
37: Place you want to visit? Right now, the UK the most. I dream of it. Literally.
38: Last place you were? The planetarium with my family.
39: Do you have a crush? TOTES, on HUBBY McAWESOMEGUY!
40: Last time you kissed someone? A few minutes ago. Him. Always.
41: Last time you were insulted? Today, about something I was wearing, by the nurse who was changing my dressing. Maybe I was just being sensitive. I can wear a 3/4-length shirt on a warm day if I want to! Especially to cover my PICC line. So there.
42: Favorite flavor of sweet? Easy. Browned sugar and butter: caramel, toffee, penuche fudge, get in my belly!
43: What instruments do you play? Ok, lots, but not well. Piano (extreme stage fright), flute, piccolo, Irish tin whistle, guitar, and learning ukulele. I'm most comfortable on guitar, flute, and the pennywhistle.
44: Favorite piece of jewelery? My wedding band and a plain little CZ pendant on a delicate chain. It's darling. Someday I'd like an opal pendant for everyday. It has lots of significance to me.
45: Last sport you played? I threw a frisbee to my dog? I walked a little?
46: Last song you sang? You know Jimmy Fallon's "Tight Pants" song? Well I sang these words to that tune: "Everywhere I go I've got my seat belt, I've got my seat belt, I've got my seat belt on." Our kids were buckling up in the car after the planetarium.
49: Last time you hung out with anyone? Today. My family. Also, my sisters and my mom: I helped her pack for an upcoming trip because I have tons of packing hacks and am a packing ninja. No, really.
50: Who should answer these questions next? Anyone! Everyone!...Anyone?
Hope you had fun. Odd questions, odd answers, but...there ya go.
