Ten on Tuesday

1. If you could travel back in time, would you? What decade would you visit?

Hell yes, I would! I would travel back to the 60s and go to a Beatles concert!

2. What was your best Halloween costume? (fun to make? most creative?)

Um, I hate Halloween. I mean, I enjoy watching my nephews get dressed up, and if I lived somewhere that I got trick or treaters, I would enjoy it. But I live in a condo association with a bunch of senior citizens (seriously, not joking), so I get no trick or treaters. So I hate Halloween.

So I can't even really come up with a costume that is memorable. Maybe a clown costume that my mom hand sewed when I was pretty young? That was pretty impressive. She is quite the sewer.

3. Do you like your name? If you weren't called by your name, what would you want to be called?

Sorry Dad, but I don't like my name. I mean, I am obviously not going to change it. Although I reallly tried to convince my parents to let me change it to Stephanie when I was in 3rd grade. They were not on board so Lisa it is.

If I could change my name now, I would probably change it to Lydia. It's sort of similar but way more unique/interesting than Lisa!

4. In the past year, what is the BEST recipe you made. Please share it!

Tough question. I have made some dynamite recipes this year, to be quite honest! My favorite is the Paella I made with my aunt Barb, but I don't have the recipe for that typed out... and I can't take credit for it since my aunt did most of the work! So my runner up is this chicken w/ mushrooms that I made the night before the Twin Cities 10 mile race. I served it on top of some gluten free pasta. It was fantastic and it was actually a weight watchers recipe!!

5. Look around - what is the nearest object or picture hanging on the wall?

A picture of the Charles Bridge & Prague Castles which is hanging on my wall. It's an 8x10 photo that my friend Brooke actually took. None of my pics from that trip turned out because I was so hyped up on cold medicine, I was shaky hands McGee so all of my pics are blurry!

6. What was the last movie you saw in the theater? Would you recommend it?

I went to "She Out of Your League" with a girlfriend and it was awful. So no, I would not recommend it. We thought it was going to be a chick flick but it was a total guys movie. The humor was so crash and disgusting - so not my kind of movie! I am a bit of a prude!

7. Did you go to summer camp? Will you/do you send your kids to camp?

I went to Band Camp three summers in a row. Yes, I was a total nerd. My sister went, too, and loved it as much as I did. And no, I do not start stories by saying, "...and this one time, in band camp..." I bet most of my friends don't even know I ever went!!

If I have kids, I would probably send them to camp - if they were interested in going.

8. What kind of ringtone do you have?

The ringtone that sounds most like a typical phone. I despise songs for ringtones. They drive me bananas.

9. Where is the farthest away from home you have ever been?

I spent 4 months in Australia studying abroad. Deciding to study abroad was the best decision I ever made in college!

10. Has anyone ever written a song or a poem for or about you?

Heck no. I haven't even received a love letter. Or even a love email! Or even a love fax. (Hope someone gets that reference to the SATC movie)

Someday, maybe! A girl can dream!
