fill-in-the-blank friday

1.   The most spontaneous thing I've ever done was : Well, there may or may not have been a streaking incident.  And I'm not going to tell you how old I was at the time.  :)

2.  The best gift I've ever received was:  a month stay/study in Paris.  I took myself there, but if it weren't for graduation $ from family and work bonuses, I wouldn't have been able to go.

3.  A time that I was truly and genuinely surprised was: when John proposed.  He had been fake proposing for about a month, so I thought he was up to his old tricks.  Then he pulled out the ring and I knew.

4.  I can't leave the house without: my cell phone and iPod.

5.  My favorite day of the week is  Friday because:    I don't have to work on Fridays.  By the time Saturday rolls around, I feel like it's Sunday, but I actually have another day off.  A close second would be Wednesdays, which is when I take guitar lessons.

6.  Something that can always make me laugh is: my dog Fritz.  He twists himself into funny shapes when he's laying on his back.  Cracks me up every time.  That's him below.

7.  My perfect day would include: Gotta say, any day at the beach is pretty much perfect.  It's the little things....

Time for another Fill-in-the-Blank Friday.  Today's theme:  Halloween!  (via The Little Things We Do)

1.   My Halloween plans this year will include:  dressing up and going out the night before Halloween.  Then on Halloween my friends and I always make their house super scary and try and scare little kids (with their parent's permission, of course). Bwahahaha!

2.  My most memorable Halloween costume was:  I never had one that was all that memorable, but my sister was a Cheeto one year, complete with giant orange felt costume and trick-or-treat bag made of (what else?) Cheeto bags. That costume has always topped all others in our book.

3.  For Halloween this year I'm going to be:  Joan Jett.  Got the wig, made the shirt, and my sister mailed me a bunch of studded belts from her punk days.  I'm gonna look legit.

4.  I've always wanted to dress up as: Holly Golightly.

5.  Halloween free association!  Candy, fog machine, Jason, dry ice, cocktails, friends.

6.  The worst thing about Halloween is:  Only that it's on a Sunday this year.  No worries, we make do.  :)

7.  The best thing about Halloween is: Scaring kids and trying not to get scared by my husband or friends.

Have a safe and happy Halloween everyone!

fill-in-the-blank friday

I thought I'd mix it up a little this week and join up with the group of bloggers at The Little Things We Do for Fill-in-the-Blank Friday.  So here we go!

1.   Blogging is:  a great way for me to keep track of all the things I love.  It's also been a great way to meet new people.

 
2.  A current fashion trend I wish I was brave enough to wear is:  leggings and a tunic.  I can do leggings and a skirt, but the whole "butt almost hanging out" thing makes me so self-conscious.  Looks cute on other girls though!

3.  My greatest accomplishment in life thus far is:  buying a house.  Granted, I didn't do that alone, but every time we come home, I'd so proud that we are coming home to our house.

4.  If I had to choose between a mountain or a beach vacation I'd choose:  Mountain vacation. Since we live at the beach, it's nice to mix it up.  Plus, I love the smell of being in a forest.

5.  A talent I wish I had is:  being able to rock on the guitar.  I'm on my way though.  Bought me an electric guitar and am taking lessons.

6.  A talent I do have is:  being crafty.  Especially during the holidays.

7.  This week: went by so fast!
