Let’s Talk About You!

There are so many new faces to this blog as of late, that I decided it was time to talk about you guys again. I’m always so curious about you! Who are you? What are your interests? How did you find this little spot I like to call my virtual home? And even if you’ve done it before, do it again! I’m always switching up the questions.

About me and about you

So here’s the drill. I put together this quick questionnaire. Leave your answers in the comment section. Easy peasy, right? And go!

  1. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
  2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
  3. What is the most favorite item in your house as of right now, this very instance?
  4. What room in your house needs a makeover?
  5. Last song you listened to?
  6. Last book you read?

And to be fair, I’ll answer all these questions as well, cool?

1. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

I’m such a grinch for Halloween and always have been. I think as a kid, I was so excited for my birthday that I never got into the whole dressing up and stuff. So I will be passing, but my kids will be participating! They are so excited. The Dude wants to be Batman (right now, he’s demanding we call him Batman, but in the morning, we have to call him Bruce, Bruce Wayne, but only in the morning), and Little Maus will be a princess. She’s kind of a diva right now, so it totally fits.

2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?

Ugh, why did I put this on here? I’m gonna be completely honest…a chocolate chip cookie. I hope my trainer Joe is not reading this right now, or my TRX session with him in the morning is going to be painful. He tends to frown upon things like this and works me extra hard in the gym to work it off as punishment. Not awesome. Not awesome at all.

3. What is the most favorite item in your house as of right now, this very instance?

There are so many things that I love in my house. As Grace said the last time I posted this, my favorite thing is the latest thing I bought for the house. Last time I said my vine pendant lighting that hangs in the foyer, but since that is oddly broken right now (and hopefully the electrician can fix it Tuesday or I’m going to cry tears of sadness) I’d have to say it’s a tie between my Caravan Pacific lamp and my Lani Lee portraits. Every time I look at them I want to hug them and my love for them grows stronger every day. The lamp was purchased by the boy as a gift to me last Christmas and the Lani Lee portraits were something I bought for myself after saving for quite some time. Little Maus thinks they are daddy…the guys kinda look like him though…odd. But, maybe that is why I love them so much!

4. What room in your house needs a makeover?

The master bathroom! Oh, don’t even get me started on it. The whirlpool tub is like a giant paperweight. The shower should be larger. The bad mirror. The fact that it is a beige, beige, beige boring world in that room. That and my kitchen. I’m not a big fan of that space either. someday. A girl can dream.

5. Last song you listened to?

Shake It Up by Taylor Swift. Tonight, I was stuck in the car while waiting for an extra-long freight train that was crawling across the tracks. So I danced a lot and sang really loud with the sunroof open to entertain myself. I was on my way home from the craft store! Just so you know, something fun is happening1 Can’t wait to share it with you!

6. Last book you read?

Right now, I’m reading This Is Where I Leave You, and I’m enjoying it quite a bit. I just finished up Firefly Lane. The ending made me cry. This actually might be a great place to ask you guys about this idea I’ve been mulling over in my head. I’m contemplating starting a book club on the blog. I read really slow though, so you’d have to put up with that. But would you guys want to discuss a book once every couple of months in the comment section or on my Facebook page? I’d even consider letting you guys suggest what book you might want to be selected. What do ya think?

Ok, now it’s your turn! Can’t wait to read your answers!!!!!

    What are you dressing up as for Halloween? – typically, Halloween is my most favorite holiday and we tend to be ‘that’ house. No celebrating this year since we are moving around Halloween. Boo.

    2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? A chocolate pop-tart. Not my typical breakfast but we are trying to clean out the pantry before said move.

    3. What is the most favorite item in your house as of right now, this very instance? Letterpress letters that spell our last name. I hunted to find the right ones without spending a fortune.

    4. What room in your house needs a makeover? We rent, but if speaking of furniture/décor, etc., our main living space. We’ve had almost all of our furniture for a very long time and while it still looks great, it’s time to grow up.

    5. Last song you listened to? Something instrumental by Time for Three or Lyndsey Stirling

    6. Last book you read? Does a Paleo cookbook count?

      You could be the scarecrow? I dressed up as a scarecrow a few times as a kid. An old suit coat, shoved some hay in the sleeves and a funny hat. Boom! But I’m sure you’d make a very pretty Glenda…and you can carry a wand =)

    1. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
    E is going to be a muscle ninja- so I am struggling to come up with a costume that would make sense…so I may just go as the nagging Mom–you know the one…don’t cut thru the yards, remember to say thank you…and don’t make comments about how you don’t like their candy selection!! Yep, I have that down to a fine art!!
    2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? A margarita on the rocks

    ummm–not sure where my other answers went so let’s try again 🙂

    3. What is the most favorite item in your house as of right now, this very instance? WWII Maps we found at my husband’s grandparents house. I found them in a box mark “misc paper.” Unreal! They were such a find. And it reminds us that you should page through every book and open every box just in case. You never know what you will find/

    4. What room in your house needs a makeover?The Master Bath. It is sad and a hodgepodge of crap. It needs help…badly!

    5. Last song you listened to? Roar -Katy Perry. It is E’s school’s “unofficial song” so we listen to it a lot. Thank goodness I like it.

    6. Last book you read?
    Hi-my name is Brandy and it has been years since I have finished a book. Before judgement is passed, know that I have good intentions to sit down and read a book, but I am noncommittal , become uninterested and move on. But I do read my favorite magazines and blogs daily 🙂 My all time favorite book is Great Gatsby. I have read it many many times

      I’ve noticed that happened to a couple people! Not sure what is going on…SORRY! And I think the nagging mom is my costume every year (day…whoops!) I just never knew it was a thing! LOL! And very cool on the maps! They sound awesome. I agree with you on the look thru every box and book. My co-workers father-in-law bid on an old bucket of cleaning products. When he returned home, he found TWO rings. One topaz surrounded by diamonds (which she wears) and one sapphire surrounded by diamonds. He was floored! I think he paid like $10 for it if I remember correctly!

    What cookbook from Jerusalem? Sounds very interesting! Have you tried anything from it yet? (And I love Hersey bars and I have some left over from a camping trip upstairs. I might have to indulge myself!)

    I love this! I’m late to the game but pumped to reply.

    1. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
    During the work day, my pregnant coworker and I will be a spider and its web. Her belly is the spider, I’m the web. And in the evening, I will be Red Riding Hood and my furry looking fella will be the Big Bad Wolf in grandma’s nightgown.

    2. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
    Coffee! Always coffee.

    3. What is the most favorite item in your house as of right now, this very instance?
    This is a toss up between my Thunderpeep pillows from Society6, or my cutesie woodlandy airplant which I just blogged about :)…I also have a fairly new gnome in my guest room that makes me hella happy!

    4. What room in your house needs a makeover?
    My bathroom is literally falling apart. The tileboard is original to the house, so 1951-ish. The trouble is that I have two other bathrooms so if it falls apart, there’s not enough pressure to put it back together again!

    5. Last song you listened to?
    “Heartbeat” by Childish Gambino.

    6. Last book you read?
    “Letters to Alice” by Fay Weldon.

    Didn’t really dress up for Halloween, but my husband and I did go to a friend’s 50th birthday bash recently which had a “dress up like your prom year” theme. Very fun and we looked the part of 1990, 1992 prom years I think, best prom date ever:) (At his 40th a group of us dressed up as The Breakfast Club:). Last thing in my mouth was a Greek pizza-ala hummus spread, feta, kalamatas, capers, red pepper, mozz. Dearest in my house is our family photos, took us many years/tears to be able to have our littles, so those trophies are my fave:) (Next would be our local painting vendor watercolor from Florence we bought on our honeymoon(2007)). Kitchen/dining area makeover-we’d like to take down a wall to open it up and put in a counter for more cooking/prep area/barstool eating area. Song-Maroon 5-If I Ain’t Got You(Live). Book-Lisette’s List by Susan Vreeland, easy read so far with really beautiful wording. Great mind candy right now since I cannot get myself to read at night after chasing my 2.5 year old and 8 month old during the day:) I would LOVE a book club; right there with ya on the slow reading right now….loved my other book club I was in for years. Haven’t done one since my kids. Also, Happy Birthday Kyla! Way to embrace it!!:)

      A prom themed party sounds awesome. And dressing up like The Breakfast Club is brilliant. See, every time I try to embrace Halloween, I wind up dressing like a butterfly and it’s impossible to go to the bathroom or walk around without hitting people in the face. I need to take lessons from you! I’ll have to check out Lisette’s List (and yes I agree, trying to sit down and read when having 2 little ones is kind of an impossible feat).
