Ten on Tuesday

1. Do you prefer markers, crayons, or colored pencils?

Crayons, as long as they are nice & sharp!

2. As a child, how did your parents celebrate your birthday? (Parties, cake, you pick the dinner, etc.)

My dad would go to work a little later so he could come down in the morning with my mom to wake me up. We always got to pick our dinner (I usually picked spaghetti or spaghetti casserole if I remember correctly) and then we'd have cake after dinner & open presents. My mom would either make a made-from-scratch chocolate cake or we'd get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. My parents always made it a very special day for us! I had a really hard time when I had my first birthday without my parents when I went to college. It just wasn't the same to not be woken up my parents serenading me!

3. How do you feel about leggings?
The 80s called and they want their leggings back!

I kid, I kid. I think they look great on most people; it's just not a look I could ever pull off!!

4. How do you prefer to follow directions? With a map? Words?

I like it when my New Zealand accented GPS tells me what to do. I am not the best drivers, so it's in everyone's best interest that I not look down at a map or to read directions!

5. What do you eat for snacks?

Vanilla yogurts w/ fresh strawberries, popcorn, grapes, or a hard boiled eggs most days. I am all about snacks. I kind of like to eat every 2-3 hours!

6. Have you ever ordered anything from an infomercial or bought any As Seen on TV products?

The only 'as seen on tv' product I bought was the water globe. It's supposed to be a fool proof way to water plants and keep them alive. Want to see how well they worked?

That's my Charlie Brown Christmas Tree'esq plant that I had to give back to my mom. I really tried to keep the dang thing alive. Total fail.

7. What’s your favorite thing about summer?

Weekends at my parents' cabin! I love weekends at my parents' cabin because I rarely wear make-up, I play in the sand and water with my nephews, I live in my swimsuit, I play cribbage with my dad, and my mom makes amazing blender drinks with fresh fruit in them. What's not to love?

Oy vey I can not wait for summer!

8. Do you have a tattoo? What and where is it?

Hells no. Do not have one, can say with 100% certainty that I never will! To each their own, but this is just not my thing!

9. Are you good at journaling?

I am really good about journaling when I travel. I have about 6-7 journals in a bin under my bed, filled with thoughts I've had while traveling.

Unless this blog counts, I am terrible about journaling my day-to-day life.

10. What’s your favorite way to eat a hamburger?

Right off the grill with lots of pickles, ketchup, and spicy mustard. Bunless, obviously. I can't imagine that there are actually gluten free buns. And if they do exist, I am sure they taste like rubbish, like all other mass produced gluten free bread products.
