Every nominee tells 11 things about herself, & answers 11 questions from the blogger that nominated her, then leaves 11 questions for the next nominees to answer. So, here goes.
Eleven Facts About Me:
1 | I love the beach but I don't really like having sand on me & I don't like getting in the ocean. I like it mostly for photographing :)
2 | I prefer binging on TV shows over watching movies. I usually can't stay awake for a whole movie, but watching episode after episode of a show I love, I feel like I "reset" every hour.
3 | I like to write & type. Sometimes I write lists just for the fun of writing them. And I'm frequently complimented on my speedy typing.
4 | Over the last year, I've developed a slight addiction to Spider Solitaire. I don't usually get into games on my phone, but I usually have to play at least one game of Spider Solitaire a day.
5 | I called myself a recreational coffee drinker until Grayson & I got married. When coffee was made for me every morning, I might as well drink it!
6 | I love decorating. I wouldn't really say I have a style necessarily, I just do what I like. Grayson says his style is "rustic modern, aka Crate & Barrel, aka more than we can currently afford." I'd agree with that one.
7 | I love Rifle Paper Co. She is my design hero.
8 | I'm from the South but I hate sweet tea & Coke.
9 | My all-time favorite TV show is Friends, & I try to watch the whole series through once a year. Most anything reminds me of something from Friends, & I can quote more of it than is really called for. Before we got married, I made Grayson start watching them. We got through almost the whole series pre-wedding, & finished the rest afterwards.
10 | When I was a kid, I had a Fonzie poster in my room, & recently got excited when I saw there are 25 episodes of Happy Days on Hulu.
11 | I prefer fruit over chocolate any day.
Questions from Martha Kate:
1 | What is in your coffee cup? Coffee, with a new creamer I'm in love with: brown sugar cinnamon.
2 | What is your favorite book you've ever read? My answer to this changes, & I could never pick just one. Some favorites: Christy by Catherine Marshall, And the Shofar Blew & the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers, The Sweetest Thing by Elizabeth Musser.
3 | Are you a dog or cat person? I wouldn't say I'm really much of an animal person. I like my cat. And I like to look at other animals, & I like to pet them on my terms, but I do not like being licked & jumped on.
4 | Where do you find blog inspiration? Other bloggers, books, etc.
5 | What is your go-to recipe? Usually some kind of pasta with some veggies thrown in, & I think tomatoes are always a good idea.
6 | What is your favorite TV show? See #9 above.
7 | Do you prefer a date night at home or going out on a date? A little bit of both. I like to go out for dinner, but then I'd rather just come home & watch a movie than go to the theater. If the after-dinner plans involve something other than the theater, I'd usually pick that. Grayson just loves going to movies & I don't love it so much because it's always cold, I don't like not being able to talk, & I fall asleep.
8 | What is your love story? Grayson & I met at our church where there was a great Young Singles department. We were acquaintances for about 9 months, then Grayson sneakily asked me on a date (I didn't know it was a date). At dinner that night I couldn't believe I'd never known this guy really. From then on, it was kind of a whirlwind. We were engaged 3 months later, & married 4 months after that.
9 | What is your favorite restaurant? Blueline Pizza or Sushi Confidential
10 | Instagram or Twitter? Instagram. I have both, but hardly ever look at Twitter, but I love Instagram.
11 | Are you a night owl or morning person? I was always a night owl. Even as a baby/kid, as long as no one tried to make me go to sleep, I was happy.
