Happy Valentine’s Day! Come back later today for my link party and a very sweet story about love… it might make you cry.
I have been Tagged by Carol from The Design Pages! It’s a fun little game where you get to learn a little more about me, and I in turn, get to tag 11 more people and they will pass it on and on and on……
Here are the rules of the game…

So here are the questions that Carol chose for me (and her ten other tagee’s) and my answers!
1. What did you do last Friday night?
After I dropped off the kids at my mom’s work so they could spend the weekend with the grandparents, I headed home, stopping to pick up an adorable sideboard I found on craigslist. Chris was away visiting his nephews so when I returned home, I made myself some oatmeal for dinner, poured myself a glass of wine, watched jeopardy and then headed to lay in bed and watch lifetime movies at 8 pm. And this answer may have lost me some followers now that you all know what a loser I am on a Friday night! But let me tell you, it was beautifully relaxing!
2. What is your specialty in the kitchen?
Seeing as I made myself oatmeal for dinner Friday night you can guess I am not much of a cook. 🙂 But I can bake and I make a mean apple crisp that is delicious! I also often make a salad witch spinach or mixed greens, apples, walnuts, cranberries, blue cheese, and my own secret citrus honey vinaigrette that is pretty popular, too. I tend to change the fruit and nuts in it as well according to seasons.
3. What is your favourite nail polish colour?
I am not much of a fashionista and I don’t even bother with my fingernails. But in the summer I paint my toenails and typically choose a pale pale pink that is not even noticeable but makes my toenails look prettier.
My feet are not this cute, but I didn’t want to scare you away…
4. Dogs or cats?
Cats are not an option- my husband is allergic. But I don’t love them anyhow; I have always been a dog lover. I have two dogs, Charlie and Jake, and they are perfect for our family. See, they are lazy bums and fit right in with us…
5. What is your favourite computer or phone app?
Ok sadly my favorite app on my Iphone is the weather channel app. I love to check the weather! And I wake up early in the morning to go for walks, so I check my weather app to see what the temperature is before I leave so I am appropriately dressed.
6. Who inspires you the most?
My children. They inspire me with the things they say and do, and their unfailing love and devotion. They inspire me to be the best person I can be because I know they are watching my every move.
7. If you and I were going to spend a weekend together what would you plan for us?
Well, it sounds like Carol is an outdoor nut, so we would definitely go hiking! We would head out for a nice mountain hike, then we would hit up a thrift shop on the way home, and then come home for some wine and oatmeal!
8. What was the best book you read last year?
The Hunger Games, but I also loved Winter Garden, Sarah’s Key, and Have a Little Faith.
9. What’s your biggest accomplishment of 2012?
Well it’s only been a month and a half, but I guess so far it would be… gee…. I dunno. I feel like it’s kind of sad to say “My biggest accomplishment of 2011 is painting my bathroom vanity!” That kind of takes me back to being a loser. 🙂 If it were 2011, I would say selling my house in a matter of a few weeks!
10. Do you like to dance?
LOVE it! I am not graceful by any means, but if I am at a wedding you will find me on the dance floor the entire time! And my kids and I love to play music in the kitchen and have dance parties and make up our own silly moves.
11. Which is your favourite, must read blog? Oh seriously I have SO many…. it’s ridiculous. I don’t think I can narrow it down to less than 100 20.
Ok, now it is MY turn to tag people! I tag….
