Jacin-who happens to be getting married in less then a month-over at She Said Yes honored my blog with a mention and a tag to answer eight questions of hers then create eight more to pass on to eight of my favorite blogs. I've been meaning to do a get to know you post like this so the timing couldn't be better. I never feel like I have any "good" or interesting answers so I normally don't like this sort of thing but here goes! Thanks Jacin and here are my answers to your eight questions.
1. if one song were to describe your life, what song would it be? Wild Horses, by Natasha Bedingfield. I don't have nor do I want a horse although I do find them beautiful. I find the lyrics very meaningful and relevant to my life and the journey I have taken.
2. if you could be another person for a day, who would you be? Nastia Liukin! I have to wonder what it would be like to be a person determined and talented enough to be an Olympian. To have the guts to do gymnastics at the Elite level just boggles my mind. Now that she won her gold medal she gets to do all kinds of cool stuff. Stuff that I would much rather be doing then sitting here in my cubicle.

3. what has been your favorite aspect of wedding planning? Almost everything! It was so, so much fun! Getting to have control and pick everything was awesome! When you plan a wedding it really is your party and it's so much fun to have a chance to pick what you like and put it all together. Who knows when or if I will ever throw a party again? I lived it up!
4. if you had one wish, what would it be? To be wealthy. I know money doesn't by happiness but neither does poverty. I always say it can certainly help. And I know the question said ONE but I would also like to eat whatever I want and not gain a pound. It's really a toss up between those two.
5. what is your favorite movie? There are so many. One that just really sticks out in my head right now is Black Snake Moan with Christina Ricci, Samuel L Jackson and Justin Timberlake. It just spoke to me. She and her love were so emotionally damaged yet they wanted and deserved love like just anybody else. The story line was so unconventional-risque even. The acting was great for all three including JT and Christina managed to look hot in a pair of plain white cotton panties.
6. what is your guilty pleasure? (not thinking in the gutter here, girls) French fries and molten chocolate lava cake. If I order either one of those I am splurging big time!! Can't happen very often.

7. if the whole world were listening, what would you say? Uhh....no clue. I try not to say too much in front of too many people so this is hard! Ummm....
8. what's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? "Let yourself be happy." It didn't come naturally or easily for me at all. It was such a long hard struggle but to finally be able to do that has made all the difference in the world for me.
Now, for eight of my favorite bloggers. I can count-I did 9 instead of 8 because I wanted to mention Dancy even though I know she will not be playing along because of the whole getting married any day now thing!

Thank goodness it's a 3 day weekend. The cleaning and laundry got done last weekend and we are having the best weather right now which we didn't really get during the Summer. I plan on doing something fun every day.
Enjoy your Labor Day weekend everyone!!!!
Oh how cool! I'll make sure to do this sometime. Thanks for thinking of me.
ReplyDeleteThank you for considering me one of your favorite blogs!! I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI love molten lava cake as well...have you tried the frozen version at Trader Joe's? They are really quite amazing in a pinch. And fries...don't even get me started on how much I love those!
I agree that poverty doesn't buy happiness so why not be wealthy? You put it so well!
One more thing before this becomes the longest comment I've ever left - If I was a billionaire I would definitely quit my current job and write my book full time. And maybe become a book agent. Maybe I should have married rich. :)
Have a great weekend and Labor Day!
