Lovely Linky: Seven Questions

Hello readers! I've been slacking a bit on this link up, but here I am again with 7 Questions with Gentri Lee

So...you know how it's impossible to lick your elbow? Well, actually it's not. I can lick my elbow. 

This isn't the greatest picture, but I really am licking my elbow. 

It's one of my many stupid human tricks.

1. If you could be any princess, which would you be and why?

This one is hard because my favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty {Aurora}, but it would be totally awesome to be Gizelle {from Enchanted}, or Belle. If I were a Princess at Disney World, I would probably want to be Belle. If I were a real princess I'd want to be like Gizelle. And if I got to sing and live with 3 sweet little old fairy ladies, I would want to be Aurora.

2. Do you have any odd habits? (do things in order, words that you say too often, etc)

My closet is rainbow ordered.

 I absolutely cannot leave the bathroom without washing my hands. Ugh. Double ugh.

If I go to bed without writing in my journal, I can't stop thinking about it.

Same if I don't brush my teeth.

I put my leg up on the seat when I drive

Or pretty much whenever I'm sitting.

When I'm with my husband, I will try to spout out as many puns as I can think of.

3. What's your "go to" outfit?

Jeans, white shirt, TOMS

4. Do you have any siblings? What are their genders, ages, order of age, names, etc?

Three brothers

Oldest // Peter // 28 (I think??)

2nd oldest // Andrew // 24

Youngest // Michael // 17

Me // Older than Michael :)

5. What's your favorite precious stone?

I'm honestly not a big precious stone person. 

But I adore pearls

Diamonds

And amethyst {{my birthstone}}

6. If you had a check in your hand for 1 million dollars, what would you do with it?

Oh gosh, I really don't know. My husband would make us put at least half into savings.

And the rest would go towards an airplane. 

{That's how well I know my husband. He would totally take the money and buy an airplane.

Makes sense though; he is a pilot :) }

7. What do you love most about yourself--physically (eyes, smile, hair, etc. I don't know a good way to word that question...)

This probably sounds really weird, but I like my collar bone. 

I don't know why. Mostly, I just think it looks nice.

Lovely Linky: Seven Questions

 //Sometimes my husband and I are goofs. 

//Sometimes I'm just the goof :)

1. Are you a thrift shopper?
Working on it. Unfortunately, the closest thrift store is 150 miles away. 

Also, I tend to spend wayy more money on stuff I don't need. 

Why? 

I don't know, I just NEED it!

2. You just had a very bad dream, what do you do?
I have been known to wake up crying, 

wake up startled, 

wake up within a dream and then wake up again. 

But that's not even the weirdest. 

Sometimes, 

I will dream something that is so real to me 

that I will literally get out of bed because I feel I need to. 

Case in point: A few years ago I started working as a server in a restaurant. 

One night, I was convinced that I had "tables" I had to wait on, 

so I got out of bed and started helping them. 

Who? 

Yeah, no one. 

But I was so convinced that they were upset with me that I started "helping" them. 

Which again, was no one. 

And that happens frequently. It's weird. 

{Sorry I didn't really answer the question, huh? 

I guess after that I just convince myself it's okay to go back to bed. 

Or just cuddle with my husband, haha}

3. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Gentri said it best. Mint chocolate chip. 

But I'll take regular chocolate if there's none available 

{and no, vanilla mixed with chocolate sauce is not the same as chocolate ice cream,

 in case you were wondering}

4. What do you do with your money? (spend it, save it, invest it, bury it, etc)
I'm a kind of spender. 

Okay, I am a total spender, 

which I why I rarely go to the mall or shopping because 

I will see things that I absolutely must have. 

Fortunately, my husband is a saver :)

5. What was the last quote or statement you heard that really hit you?

This article actually. 

It talks about giving up things in order to become happier.

6. What do you do when you're driving alone? (ex: dance, sing, listen to talk radio, etc)
Learn Spanish! 

Haha, I live next to Mexico. I figure I should at least attempt. 

And it has come in handy a couple of times.

7. Did you watch the premier of Bachelorette? If so, who was your favorite bachelor?
Nope! Sorry, but "Reality" shows aren't really my thing. 

Except America's Next Top Model, 

and that's only because of the amazing photography. 

Lovely Linky: Seven Questions

 

Once upon a time, I asked my husband to come take pictures of me running a half marathon. Bad idea. He only took one picture. It's the one above. He's a great photographer, right? ;)

 

 {It's okay, we got one good one. I still love that goof}

1. You just invented the next big thing! What is it called and what does it do?
Something that made blog design easier :) {not HTML}

2. Are you a lover or a fighter?
It depends. I fight for those I love

3. It's almost mothers day- if you could tell your mom anything, what would it be?
Thank you. 

Growing up, I was probably not the nicest teenagers to my mom, 

but I'm so, so grateful for her and I love her so much. 

4. Do you like your hair curly, wavy, or straight?
Here's the thing with my hair--unless I control it, it does whatever it wants. I would love if my hair were adorably wavy, but that is not going to happen to my hair unless I do it by accident. It's almost impossible to curl my hair {and have it hold}, so I guess my answer is straight!

5. If it was your last day to live, what would you do?
Be with my husband doing something awesome. 

Maybe I would make him take me on an airplane ride in the really fast jet he flies. 

6. What color are your eyes? Do you like the color?
For the longest time I wished my eyes were blue or looked different, 

but I love my eye color and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world 

{okay, lie: if they could look like Olivia Wilde's eyes, 

I would totally trade for that}

{Aren't her eyes gorgeous?}

7. Fish, beef, poultry, wild game, or tofu?
Mmm, I don't know. Probably fish or chicken.

Lovely Linky: Seven Questions

Today I am linking up with Gentri Lee's Seven Questions {check out her awesome blog here}. I've just started doing these, so I've missed a couple, but here goes.

Please excuse the terrible quality of the photo, but this was taken this past December 

{around Christmastime}, when Jordan and I visited Toronto. 

Jordan {my husband} lived in Toronto for two years 

{he served a mission, which is an LDS thing}. 

On our visit, we went to a restaurant called "O Noir." 

Now, this restaurant is no ordinary restaurant. 

The servers are blind 

{see the guy on the right? He was our server, and yes, he is blind}, 

and instead of sitting at a normal table where you can see 

the people you're eating with and what you're eating, 

you are led into a completely dark room. 

Before going into the room, you pick out your meal {they have a two or three course meal}. 

You can either choose what you want 

or you can choose to be surprised! 

I chose to be surprised for the dessert, 

but I wanted to know what my meal was! 

Jordan chose surprise everything {which is not surprising}.

It was an interesting and awesome experience. 

 {oh yeah, and Jordan's surprise dinner included chicken, but when I tasted it, 

I couldn't tell what it was at first! 

It's a completely different experience when you can't see what you're eating.}

1. What is your favorite day of the week and why?
Hmm, that's hard, but I love Saturdays. 

My husband works 12 hours a day, 

comes home and studies, 

and goes to sleep. 

But on Saturdays I feel like I actually get to see him and spend time with him.

{I also love Sundays for the same reason, plus I get to go to church}

2. If you decided to change your name, what would you change it to?
I don't know that I would want to change my name. I actually really love my name.

But if I did, maybe Aria. Because I think that name is so pretty.

3. What is one product you use (it can be for anything) that you feel is a miracle worker?
My grandparents own this company called MiraCell. MiraCell is a natural oil that soothes skin irritations {bites, burns, scratches, cuts, etc}, and heals scars. 

Well, last summer, I was running and fell. Onto pavement. 

Naturally, I used my hands to stop my fall.

Unfortunately, that was a bad idea. I scraped my hand up pretty bad.

But I used MiraCell every day and I don't even have a scar.

Plus, it stopped the pain.

Oh yeah, and did I mention that it was completely gone in two weeks?

{Unfortunately, I don't have the pictures on my computer. 

Hopefully I can update this post with the pictures when I get home}

4. High heels, flats, sneakers, or boots?
Flats. Or flat boots. But that doesn't mean I don't love heels. I just rarely wear them.

5. You see your favorite celebrity (it can be any kid of celebrity- movie star, singer, writer, political leader, blogger) walking down the street, what do you do?
I don't have a favorite celebrity {I don't think}, but if I saw any celebrity, I would just think it pretty awesome and go say hi!

6. If you could pick one item to never have to pay for again, what would it be?
Um, wow. Gas, definitely. Or clothes.

7. what was your favorite tv show or movie growing up?
I was a sucker for "Hey Arnold!" growing up.
