Ten on Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Here's another batch of question - courtesy of Chelsea of Roots and Rings! Do you have 10 questions you'd like to ask? Send them to her, I think she's always looking for sets of questions to post!

1. What was/is your favorite live action (meaning not animated) kids movie?
I had a hard time coming up with one.... I really don't have a favorite non-animated movie. If i had to choose, I'd say The Never Ending Story?

2. What is a bad habit you have? Are you working on breaking it?
Biting my nails. I tend to do it when I am tense/stressed. I've worked on breaking it, and do well, as long as I am not stressed out. If I am stressed, all bets are off.

3. Describe your father in 3 words.
- Humorous
- Hard-working
- Humble

4. Which character in the Breakfast Club were you most like in the ’80s?
Oh wow, I don't think I really related to any of the kids.... I enjoyed the movie, but I can't really say I am similar to any of them!

5. Name 5 songs you know ALL the lyrics to.
You Oughtta Know by Alanis Morisette
The Luckiest by Ben Folds
Fall Apart Again by Brandi Carlile
Sort Of by Ingrid Michaelson
Dusk and Summer by Dashboard Confessional

*song lyrics are kind of my thing. When I am in the car, I am usually alone and singing along to something off my iPod. So this is just a random assortment of some of the songs I like to sing!

6. Do you make pancakes from scratch or a box mix?
I use My mom uses Pamela's GF baking mix when she makes them for me. Which happens about twice a year because I'm not a huge breakfast person, so I don't like her to go to the trouble of making a special batter for me in addition to batter for the rest of the family.

7. What was your worst job ever? Why?
I am going to have to say my job at The Psych Experiment was pretty darn terrible. But that is as topic for another post that I have brewing in my head...

Runner up is the summer I spent waitressing at a restaurant by my parents' cabin. I had just gotten back from my semester in Australia so was kind of depressed and suffering from reverse culture shock. The man who owned the restaurant made me think, "If he's here, who's running hell?" He would scream and berate the wait staff, sometimes making people cry. The kicker was that I worked all of Labor Day weekend - working until 4 am 2 nights in a row, and then the owners of this restaurant skipped town and I never got paid.

8. What was your favorite class in high school?
Calculus. Yes, I am a total math nerd. I adored Calculus.

9. Favorite summer guilty pleasure?
Laying on the end of the dock at the cabin, reading a good book, sipping a fruity blended concoction made by my dear mom.

10. Please share your best money saving tip!
I honestly don't have a great tip.... I think the best tip for saving, which is not a tip and more so common sense, is to have part of your paycheck go directly to a savings account. I highly recommend an ING savings account because it takes around 3 days to get the money transfer back into your checking account, so it keeps you from making impulse transfers...
