Ten on Tuesday, a week late...

I've stopped doing these Ten on Tuesday posts, but last week's questions were thought up by Kyria, a blogger I love (and am hoping to do a 10 mile race with this fall here in Mpls!).  So I had to play along, belatedly!

1. When you are on a plane and the kid behind you is kicking your seat, what do you do?
I would probably give the parent(s) some time to reprimand the child.  If the child is still kicking, I would turn around and politely ask that he/she stop kicking my chair.  Hopefully that would work.  If it wouldn't, I would just ignore the situation because I am not very confrontational.  Luckily, I have never experienced this!

2. What food that you KNOW is bad for you and you shouldn’t have, but you love/eat it anyway?
French fries & potato chips.  I don't have them very often but I do indulge occasionally. 

3. What is your favorite book of all time?
Tuesdays with Morrie.  Have you read it yet?  You should!

4. If I came to visit you in your town, where would we eat?
Tough question - I pick restaurants based on the preferences of my guests.  So if you like mexican, I'd take you to Barrio or Masa.  For a fabulous meal  at a restaurant owned by a 2011 James Beard award winning chef, I'd take you to 112 Eatery.  If we were going to brunch, I'd take you to Spoon River. 

5. You have 500 dollars and 40 minutes to spend it at any store you want. Where do you go?
Right now I would go to Ikea probably because I need furniture and other home goods.  Except I would want to give someone else the $500 to spend for me because I despise going to that store. 

6. What blog do you read every day/the most often?
Quite a few, actually.  Or I try to! 

7. What’s the longest you’ve ever been stuck at an airport?
On my way back from Australia, I missed my connection at LAX so spent about, oh, 12 hours there I think?  Which doesn't sound like a lot but, but there was something like a 14 hour time difference and I had been traveling for over 20 hours at that point and was a puddle of tears as I just wanted to be home.  And I was traveling alone so I had no one to watch my stuff so I couldn't really sleep...  Not fun.  This was almost 10 years ago and I still vividly remember calling my mom BAWLING.

8. What’s your daily makeup/face/cleansing routine?
Face wash & eye make up remover for cleansing and a quick 5 minute application of bare minerals make up in the morning. 

9 . Where is your farthest away friend?
I have a lot of friends that are sort of far away...  I am not sure who is the furthest, maybe my sister in Tucson?  Or Amber in Kamploops?

10. Where is your favorite place to go hiking (or to enjoy nature)?
I loved hiking in Steamboat Springs, CO.  That is the only place I have really spent a considerable amount of time hiking.  I would really, really like to get back there for a summer vacation...  but my summers keep filling up with other commitments.  Maybe in 2013?
