We Need To...
add some life to this board! Or maybe it's just me and I have nothing else going on during the week when hubby goes to bed (he gets up at 4 so he's in bed by 9).
With that being said.... let's play a game 
I'll ask a random question, the next person answers it and asks another off the wall question. Kind of silly but what else is there to do!
Where is 'your spot' on the couch?
Hey, Hey Hockeytown!
Re: We Need To...
Sounds fun =] I agree, the board is dead.
We have a sectional couch with a chaise lounge on the end...which is all mine =]
Ok, next...
If you could have dinner with one person from the past, living or dead, real or fiction, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Why such a hard question?!
I think Flavia de Luce. She's 11 and British and a fictional character from my favorite book series. I would buy her ice cream and introduce her to my car, Dolores in hopes of our vehicles becoming friends (her bicycle's name is Gladys). I think the reason I like her is because she is EXACTLY me as a child!
OK, next person:
Tell of a time where you had an embarrassing tumble (i.e. tripping in public)
Ha, I have to answer this one!
The first date with my husband I took a tumble but I managed to recover, semi-gracefully. After the movie (The Blind Side) we were walking back to the car and we had to step down quite a bit to get to the car and I, of course, had heels on and took a bit of a tumble! I recovered as best I could but still felt stupid! That was the first time that night, haha! When he dropped me off at my car, I went to give hubby (then first date Tim) a hug and I tripped again so I fell awkwardly into his arms!!!! Needless to say he learned early on that I am anything but graceful
What is your one guilty pleasure that you hate to admit to people?!
I will admit a really good one that I used to have, but I've given it up for a few years now (I swear).
I was really into Webkinz. Those little plushy toys for third graders that came with a code to activate your pet online. You played with them like Sims characters and you went to the arcade and played childish educational games and earned money to build your Webkinz pets a house and put them in fancy clothes. I had 5 of them: a penguin named Chilleigh, a panda bear named Chow Mein, a camel named Jamelle (my name spelled wrong, its how it is spelled on my Birth Certificate, but it meant 'camel' in Arabic so my parents legally changed it to Jamael, pronounced the same, which now means 'beautiful' in Arabic), I had a kangaroo named Sheila, and finally an Otter named Ernie (looked like a professor of mine).
Same question! Guilty Pleasure!!
P.S. I was in my second and third year of college at this time.
My guilty pleasure is totally oreos & milk. I cannot keep them in the house or I could probably eat them all in one sitting...though I'd get sick, they are soooo good.
What is one big goal you want to accomplish this year?
move in with my hubby, finally!! (hopefully sometime in august, yay!)
but seriously, my goal is an all handcrafted Christmas, i should probably start soon! haha
what's your favorite dessert?
My BFP Chart Danger Love Blog
Currently this AMAZING no bake peanut butter pie that is in the fridge- It's so freaking good!!!
Where are you/ do you want to go on your next vacation?
I'm in Philly, sitting at my desk... and I want to go to Japan or anywhere outside the US next
If you could have any job in this world (money not an issue), what would you do?
H and I bought a timeshare while on our honeymoon so we'll be going back to Cabo soon!
What is your idea of a perfect date night with your husband?
Going out to dinner in Maine (our fav place to visit during the summer) by the ocean, going for a nice walk during the sunset, then back home relaxing on the couch and curling up to a good movie
What is your favorite memory as a child?

Learning to ride my bike. My bicycle gave me so much freedom, and I could ride anywhere I wanted. The older I got, the further I went! Cycling brings me calm and it's like no other feeling, especially when you finish a particulalry long ride. I've done a few charity rides, and it gives me such satisfaction to raise money for a good cause (cancer, MS) and feel amazing when I made it the 50 miles or 70 miles.
If you could be anywhere right now, where would it be?
Back on my honeymoon in the Bahamas!!!
This is my favorite question to ask people.... if you were a book, which one would you be?
If I were a book, which one would I be?
Any of the Cat in the Hat books. I mean honestly, who wouldn't want to live with the Cat in the Hat in Whoville? My sister and I loved these books and spent hours reading them. At one time we had them memorized, but sadly, memory slipping away! Now we have managed to get almost the entire series for my niece & nephew.
If you have any regrets, would you go back in time and make it right or do over?
Yeah there are some things that I would like to have a "do over" for. There are also things I woundnt change because they were good learning experiences.
Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
No speeding ticket but I did get pulled over for doing 28 in a 25! Ridiculous....
What was your first car?
1993 honda civic passed down by my parents..... so not cool! well, the mpg's were cool i guess lol..........
what is your biggest fear in the entire world?
A chili pepper red, Jeep Wrangler...just had to trade it in after 12 years
What are you currently driving??

Most fun thing: besides our wedding day....snorkeling for the first time with H (bf at the time) in the Bahamas, it was amazing, and not nearly as scary as I thought

11:00 although lately it's been midnight which makes getting up VERY difficult!!
If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
1. Good health for my family
2. A true vacation with my H - you know -- one where we don't go visit family or friends, but go somewhere where we know no one!
3. I'm not going to lie - wealth. I would just love to be able to afford to do things that we always have to put off because we have to work! Duh
Would you work at your current job if money were no object?
absolutely not. i mean, i like it here, and the pay is great, but if money were no option, i would love to pursue a culinary degree or my dream of having a homestead.
if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
My BFP Chart Danger Love Blog
On an island in the Caribbean. My husband grew up in the Cayman Islands and has the most terrific stories to tell. Of course, I would love the weather and the laid-back attitudes on the islands. But, we'll probably live in Atlanta for a long time. Both my sisters are here and so many close friends. It'll be great to have our child grow up around cousins...
What was the most meaningful event in your life?
