Haven't done a tag in a while...

1. What is your current obsession?
Eating outside and taking walks--the sun has finally come out and the weather is p-e-r-f-e-c-t.

2. What do you hate the most that everyone else seems to love?
Tags. Just kidding. I honestly can't think of anything right now.

3. What are you wearing today?
My cute little dress from Target (that my sister made into a cute little skirt.)

4. What's for dinner?
Leftovers...I know, exciting. But it means that we have eaten delicious things for the past several days (stuffed peppers, spaghetti boats, BBQ chicken, potato casserole and Clark's homemade ice cream...yum.)

5. What would you eat for your last meal?
A delicious filet cooked medium with roasted potatoes on the side, roasted veggies and some kind of dessert that included chocolate and caramel.

6. What is the last thing you bought?
A picnic table for the back porch.

7. What are you listening to right now?
My kids playing.

8. What do you think of the person that tagged you?
Delightful. Simply delightful, and I miss her. She is kind, hilarious, stylish, put together, talented and makes yummy food.

9. If you could have a house--fully paid for and totally furnished--anywhere in the world, where would it be?
That is the question. However, I have the recent, intense interest to live outside of the country, somewhere in Europe for a little while.

10. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would it be?
A private island with a hammock in the shade (can my husband come?...I need someone to gently push the hammock.)

11. What is one of your hobbies?
Drawing.

12. What is ONE of your favorite quotes?
"Keep calm. Carry on."

13. What is your favorite color?
Blue, any shade.

14. What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
How about favorite outfit? A cute, comfy, summer skirt, comfy t-shirt and a cardigan.

15. What is your dream job?
Food critic or librarian.

16. Describe your personal style.
Is lazy a style? If I had the energy to put forth more effort on a daily basis I would say a blend of classic, laid back, preppy, casual.

17. What is your favorite tree?
Any tree that is very large, very old, lots of shade, climbing branches with a swing (and no bugs.)

18. What are you going to do after this?
Take a shower and go to the library with the kiddos.

19. What is your favorite fruit?
Watermelon I think but I do have a place in my heart for Nectarines and Apricots.

20. What inspires you?
Optimism. Art. Music.

21. Who was the last person that you kissed?
Clark...actually he kissed my forehead before leaving for work because I have a sore throat.

22. What are you currently reading?
Til We Have Faces by CS Lewis and Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata

23. Go to your bookshelf, take down the first book that you see with a red binding, turn to page 26 and type out the first line.
"But hugging that secret knowledge to myself only made me happier."
-Portrait of an Unknown Woman

24. What delighted you the most today?
Eating toast with honey for breakfast on the back porch...but the day has just begun.

25. By what criteria do you judge a person?
I hope that I don't judge people too often but I am observant of their energy and their optimism. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt but I don't care for people that are intentionally confrontational or contrary.

26. If you bought a wiener dog today, what would you name it?
Frank Furter.

27. What are you afraid of?
The dark.

The rules:
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own. (I didn't replace any. Oops!)
2. Tag eight other people.
Mo, Amy, Carrie, Sarah, Sho, Charlotte, Mandee, Laurie...and everyone else that reads this post. Go.

Do you know another Charlotte? Just kidding. Interesting answers. If you come over today, we're cutting a watermelon.

Oh Crap!

Mandee said...

Did you tag me so you wouldn't have to look at my crazy friend Lexi each time you checked to see if I had posted something new?

Capturing Joy with Kristen Duke said...

so did abby send you another skirt or the one she was wearing? very cute. please tell me about spaghetti boats. I want to live outside of the country for a little while, too. Anything for a year or two. Watermelon is your favorite fruit? I don't care for it. Don't hate it, just don't need it in my life. Wow, you read deep books.
