11 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. I love the mornings when I get to work and no one is there yet. It's so quiet and peaceful. It's the perfect way to start the day.
2. I am allergic to pine trees (and most trees) so we always have a fake Christmas tree, but the bonus is we get to put it up and take it down in March on our schedule.
3. I have two cute sugar gliders - Kaylee and Maya! Kaylee is the "tomboy" - she's always the first one up and loves running in her wheel. Maya is the princess - she loves sleeping in and watching everyone and everything.
4. I change out of jeans as soon as I can when I get home.
5. Grapefruits are my favorite fruit.
6. I was a math and Chemistry major in college, but I'm now working towards a Ph.D. in Pharmacology {the study of drugs and how to design them - I'm not going to be a pharmacist}.
7. My birthday is April Fools Day {no joke}.
8. I love Sci Fi shows and Fantasy books {Battlestar Galactica, Harry Potter, etc.}
9. I like baking, but I'm not a fan of cooking (thus why I try so many crockpot recipes).
10. The best part of my day is when I get to go to bed!
11. I have a really awesome family - including one brother and one sister-in-law!
QUESTIONS:
1. What is your favorite vegetable?
Asparagus - it goes so well with everything! We try to use it every time we can!
2. What do you like to do when you have alone time?
I do a lot of things when I have alone time. It kindof depends on my mood. If I'm really tired from work, I'll read or watch TV, or play video games.
If I'm feeling particularly motivated, I like to turn music on really loud and clean the apartment.
Regardless of what I'm doing, I usually turn on some kind of sound - I don't really like being in a quiet apartment by myself.
3. What TV show/movie do you watch by yourself because no one wants to watch it with you?
Quite a few. Probably top of the list would be Hart of Dixie, Nikita, and America's Next Top Model... (I know, I know...)
4. What is your biggest dream in life?
To have a wonderful family and a career that I enjoy.
5. What was the scariest nightmare you've ever had?
I don't have a lot of nightmares, but I had several weird ones right before we got married where I was walking down the aisle wearing nothing. I don't know if that counts as scary, but it was really disconcerting.
6. What pet have you always wanted but never had?
Up until last September I would have said sugar gliders, but that was before these cuties joined us! So I guess I would say a hedgehog!! My college roomie, Melissa, and I used to say we were going to get one to share. I don't know that I really want one, I've heard they're kindof messy. But who can't say this cutie isn't adorable?
7. What is your guilty pleasure?
Anything chocolate. And ginger-lemon tea as of late.
8. Are you a Daddy's girl or Mommy's girl?
Both. I know that isn't really an answer. I was definitely a Daddy's girl growing up, but my Mom and I have gotten really close since I moved out. I think we're so similar that we just drove each other crazy when we were living together.
9. What is something you just can't stand?
Foot tapping/leg shaking. Unfortunately I married a leg shaker, so I'm stuck with the incessant shaking of the desk/table/chair/floor. Oh well.
10. What is your least favorite word? (Swear words don't count)
It is a tie between the use of "retarded" and "gay" as a slur/insult. It is a big pet peeve of mine. We should not be promoting the idea that those who have different sexual preferences or mental capabilities are somehow "less" than anyone else! Find a different word to describe your test/car/situation that is not promoting a negative perception of others! *breathes* Sorry, really big pet peeve. Probably would have been my answer to #9, but I figured I would try not to repeat.
11. What is your favorite blog?
If I had to choose just one -
Elena's blog: The Art of Making A Baby is great! Her and her husband just had a little girl, and she's been very candid about the whole pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, motherhood process. I love reading about her experiences!
MY QUESTIONS:
1. Do you listen to the radio? Or are you a strictly iPod person?
2. What is your favorite time of the day?
3. When something great happens, who do you tell first?
4. What is one of your quirks?
5. How do you keep yourself organized?
6. If you had a whole weekend free, what would you do?
7. What is the trait that you value most in a person?
8. What clique were you in high school (geek, goth, etc.)?
9. What is your favorite song or artist?
10. Are you a Mac or a PC person?
11. What do you always carry with you (other than phone, keys, and wallet)?
