Ten on Tuesday

Another Tuesday and another set of questions, courtesy of Chelsea of Roots & Rings. Want to play along? She posts them on her blog on Monday at some point (there is a link on the right).

1. Do you color? If you do, is it with markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.?
If I am hanging out with my nephews, yes. Otherwise, no. I am artistically challenged. Coloring is not my thing. But I am on the same level as my nephews (ages 2.5-6) so I fit right in when coloring with them! I prefer the big box of Crayola crayons. Preferably nice and sharp!

2. What’s the most organized part (or system) in your house?
I have a file box in my closet where all of my bills and financial documents are in folders, in alphabetical order.

3. What’s the most unorganized part (or system) in your house?
My bedroom desk right now is an absolute disaster. I bet I have a stack of about 40 magazine that I think I am going to read so refuse to throw away.... The desk is also a catch all for stuff I want to keep but don't have a place for. Like my 20 mile and marathon race bibs. And my marathon medal. And a whole bunch of random stuff. I wish I had an invisibility cloak to throw over this desk when my parents come this weekend...

4. If you had unlimited amounts of time and money, what museum would you want to see and why?
Hmm, probably the Louvre. I didn't go when I was in Paris because it was just too overwhelming. But if I had unlimited time and could continue to go back without paying the admission fee, I'd like to check this museum out.

5. What is your favorite part of the fall season?
The cooler fall temps and the colors of the changing leaves. We've had beautiful fall weather here in Minnesota!

6. Did you dress up for Halloween?
Hells no. I am a party pooper. I don't really 'do' Halloween. But I enjoy seeing my nephews all dressed up!

7. Have you started Christmas shopping?
No, but I have started to make a mental list of what I am going to buy whom.

8. Do you crack your knuckles?
Nope. My piano teacher forbade me from doing this as she told me I'd have ugly, puffy hands. That has stuck with me so I have never intentionally cracked my knuckles..

9. If you had to live in another city for a year (all expenses paid), which city would you choose?
Can I pick 2? In the US, I'd like to live in Manhattan - probably on the Upper East Side. Internationally, I would choose Paris and I'd live in the Marais area!

10. Do you have any reoccurring dreams?
Nope, they are different every time, and pretty much all equally weird/non-sensical.
