In other news, I was tagged by Caroline from The Broccoli Hut to fill out this questionnaire…how fun! I love these – so thanks Caroline! Here goes 

1) LAST MOVIE U SAW IN A THEATRE? Wow, I can’t even remember because it has been so long! The last thing I specifically remember is 27 Dresses…I don’t think I’ve gone since!

2) WHAT BOOK ARE U READING? Right now I’m reading Disney Wars by James B. Stewart for my work’s book club! It’s pretty good so far – very eye opening!

3) FAVOURITE BOARD GAME? Monopoly!!

4) FAVOURITE MAGAZINE? Self

5) FAVOURITE SMELLS? Vanilla and chocolate

6) FAVOURITE SOUNDS? The sound that’s made when you hit the perfect golf shot. Yes, I am a golf nerd!

10) FUTURE CHILD’S NAME? Madison for a girl, Jack for a boy.

11) FINISH THIS STATEMENT—IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D…give a lot of it to autism research, pay my parents back for college, and perhaps spend some on myself 😉

12) DO U DRIVE FAST? Admittedly, yes. I got a speeding ticket three months after I got my license. You can imagine how happy that made my mom!

13) DO U SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? Proudly, yes 🙂 I’ve been attached to my teddy bear since I was born. I still keep him on my bed! His name is “Bear” – I was a creative child.

15) WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? A Volkswagen Passat that my parents let me drive to high school since I lived 20 minutes away.

16) FAVOURITE DRINK? Coffee Cocoa!

17) FINISH THIS STATEMENT-IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD…fly back and forth to see my family every day! I guess that would require time AND money 🙂

18 ) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI? No – yucky!!

19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOUR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE? I’ve dyed it really dark brown before and liked it (though no one else did, haha) – I should do it again!

25) MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL? I’m going to have to say neither – although I am able to get up in the morning, I don’t LIKE it…and I certainly don’t like to stay up too late either! I guess by now you’ve all determine that I’m a dork!
