For some reason, I feel like I have a million things going on today, when I'm pretty sure that I don't! But either way, here are my link-ups so that I'm not wasting my day away blogging!

Link up with Chelsea!

1. What’s your favorite kind of donut?
I like just plain old glazed donuts, or twisty donuts, or donut holes. Mike's Bakery in Nanakuli always makes 'ono (delicious) donuts. I also like donuts from Napoleon's Bakery.  

2. Do you use the snooze button?
I'll usually just hit it once and if I'm still snoozing by the time my alarm goes off again, I just turn it off. I enjoy living this flexible sleep life of a college student :)

3. Do you write in cursive, print, or a combination of the two?
My handwriting is a combination of the two.

4. Tell us a joke.
It's a local Hawaii joke, so not everyone may get it, but it's the only jokes I know...

Da Hawaiian, Filipino and Podagee was stuck on the top floor of a burning building. When the fire department arrives, they immediately hold out a safety net for the victims to jump down on. So da' Hawaiian and da' Filipino go for it and jump to safety.

But da' Podagee refuses to jump. The fire crew yells up to him, "sir please get over your fears and jump or we can't help you!". Da Podagee yells back, "No way brah! I not going jump until you put da' net down on da' ground first!".

5. How many languages do you speak?
English, Hawaiian Pidgin English (which is actually a language...haha), and Hawaiian. I can also understand some Spanish and Japanese.

6. Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging as a way to meet new people who shared similar interests with me. And I sure have met a lot!

7. Do you use bar soap or liquid body wash?
Liquid body wash!

8. Do you buy bottled water?
Yes, it's mostly supposed to be for emergency preparedness though.

9. What did you think of the Super Bowl Half Time Show?
I didn't watch it. 

10. How do you feel about Steve Carell leaving The Office?
I'm kind of sad. It's going to be interesting to see how they fill that void. I mean sure the whole cast is funny and quirky in their own ways, but everything just seemed so much more pulled together with Michael there.

Oooooh, La-la-la

I can't believe that I've been so MIA this weekend!

It was quite the eventful weekend, so that's my excuse.
Some highlights from this weekend are:

*I went to a YSA dance on Friday night (and stayed out until like 3)

*My family & friends threw me a SURPRISE party on Saturday!

*I baby sat my favorite cousins on Sunday

*I joined 24 Hour Fitness yesterday (and really worked out for the first time in a long time)

So, as you can see, this weekend has been awesome!
And things are seriously only going to get better!

Anyway, how about some Tuesday linkys?

Going to my Tutu's house on Thanksgiving and Christmas with my entire family. All of my extended family would be there as well and all us kids would play and then of course we'd eat.

Post B-day Link ups

Thank you all for the awesome birthday wishes!

In true Tuesday fashion, here are some link ups before I post the "Tasia's 21..." list...

Go link up at Chelsea's Blog

1. Do you decorate for Valentine’s day?

When I lived in the dorm, I used to. When I get married/start a family, I probably will. I love decorating! It's the cleanup part that I hate haha.

2. Does your desktop have a picture or computer graphic? Is it organized?

It's organized (cause I'm OCD like that), but it doesn't have a picture. It was a picture of Taylor Swift with a quote from her Fearless album (yes, that's how much I love tay), but I restarted my computer one day and the picture was lost. Hm...maybe I need to go find a picture of Chuck Wicks and make that my background...

3. Do you use a paper planner, electric planner or no planner at all?

In this world of advanced technology, ipads, and iphones, I'm more of a paper planner person (say that 5 times fast)

4. Do you change purses or bags often or stick with a good thing?

I'm a huge bag person, so I switch pretty often.

5. What’s your favorite YouTube Video?

I have to go with Potter Puppet Pals "Mysterious Ticking Noise". IDK, I can watch that video choke (local word, it means "a lot") times and not get tired of it. Watch it here.

6. Do you use Turbo Tax or a real person to pay your taxes?

My mom does them for me, but she uses Turbo Tax, haha.

7. How many states have you set foot (or tire) in? Which ones?
This won't be too hard, I haven't been to many places (that's what I get for living on an island). OK: Hawaii, California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Florida, Texas and Colorado!

8. How many countries have you been in? Which ones?
Mexico, Cayman Islands (that counts, right?), Canada, that's it.

9. How many pillows are in your house? (Sleeping or decorative)
Uhm, like a bazillion.

10. How cold is too cold for flip flops?
Well, I walked around Vegas in 33 degree weather in slippers (local word for flip flops), so I guess I can handle it being pretty cold!

1. Do you wear glasses or contacts, if so for how long?
I wear both! I've been wearing glasses since I was in the 5th grade (of course, technically I didn't really start wearing them until 9th grade. I was rebellious. I hated them. I thought they were ugly. Catch my drift?) And I got contacts when I was in 10th grade.2. What was your favorite board game as a kid?
Chutes and Ladders! OMG, I loved that game so much! I even had a Chutes and Ladders kids book that I read until I was like 10.3. What is a word that you use all the time?
flippen', freakin', dude. Haha, I have a lot of words.4. What is your favorite day of the week?
Honestly, I do love Mondays. It's the whole brand new start to the week thing that I like. I also love Saturdays and Sundays.5. Did you graduate high school from the town you grew up in?Nope.

"Podagee" Tuesday

In Hawaii, people will call you "podagee" (portuguese) if you talk to much. Because, apparently portuguese people like to talk and share their life styles with everyone. I am portuguese, which means that people automatically assume that I can talk a lot. Which, of course, I can. Which is why I'm nicknaming today "Podagee" Tuesday, since it's link up day! And I will be "talking" a lot :)

1. What’s your favorite color to paint your nails?

Funny you should ask this question, since I just splurged (okay, not really splurged, since they were only 93 cents each) on three new nail polish colors! It's been forever since I've gotten new nail polish. Anyway, I love painting my nails red, usually. But this time I bough a hot pink and a dark pink (and sparkly!) so I'm excited to try out the dark pink...

2. Do you like to sneeze?

Not really. I'm a kid who has suffered from allergic rhinitis throughout my years. And I would sneeze a lot. And I hated it.

3. How often do you fill up your car with gas?

every week or two weeks or so. It depends on how much we drive.

4. Were you named after anyone?

No. My first name is from a dream my mom had when she was pregnant with me (and in the Hawaiian culture, it is said that if you dream a name, you have to name your child that). My middle name was given to me by my mom's kumu hula (hula teacher).

5. Have you made any good recipes lately?

Er. No. But I've been dying to try out a few good ones!

6. What’s an easy money-saving tip that you use regularly?

Go to Wal Mart. LOL. I love Wal Mart. Seriously, they do have the lowest prices, and the Great Value brand stuff is pretty ah-mazing. Also, make sure you compare prices at places.

7. Would you rather have a sore throat or an ear ache?

Neither. Haha, well I guess sore throat. 

8. Do you have any scars? What are they from?

I have scars on my legs from jumping (and falling) out of trees, as well as some from cheerleading and the typical childhood accidents. I also have one on my shin from a razor cut when I first started shaving my legs (it was traumatic enough to make me not want to shave for a while). Those are it really, for the most part, my scars have healed very well.

9. What are you “known for” in your circle of friends/family? 

In my family, I'm the smart one who got in to Kamehameha. I'm also the baby sitter. Among my friends, I'm the one that you can count on to get excited for you no matter how minor the event is. My friend texted me because she thought that she'd missed 11:11 on 1-11-11, but it turns out she was on the phone with the guy she liked at the time and she told me because she knew that i'd get excited with her about that :)

10. How do you like to eat your pancakes?

I actually don't really like pancakes.

---

1. Do you use an alarm clock or some device to wake you up, or do you wake up on your own?

I can wake up on my own. My internal body alarm is ah-may-zing! I can just look at the clock and think "Okay, I'm going to wake up in15 minutes" and I can fall asleep and be up in 15 minutes. But sometimes, only if it's for something important, I'll use an alarm.

2. If you could go on any game show, which won would you choose?

Ahhh!! I love Game Shows. I want to go on either Lingo or Deal or No Deal. Or 1 Vs. 100. I love that show! I'd go on Baggage too, but not really. And the Newlywed Show, when I'm married one day. Yeah...I love GSN. Haha.

3. Do you prefer the weather to be hot or cold?

In between? I love cold weather at times, but I also like warm weather. 

4.What color of clothing do you wear the most?

Green, usually. But lately, I've been wearing a lot of blue.

5. What is your favorite color? 

Green!

Today is Special!

Why? I don't know. Every day is special really. But today is extra special because it is 1-11-11. Did you get to make a wish at 11:11? I did, and I have one more 11:11 to go! No, I will not share what I wished for, so there :)


Now, it's time for some awesome link-ups where I get to answer questions about me. So here goes!

---

1. Is there a band/artist that you HATE? 
I don't really like screamo bands/artist. That is definitely not my cup of tea, but I can't think of any band or artist that I truly hate off the top of my head. Hmm...

2. What do you do when you get a gift that you do not like? How do you react?
I get excited about every single gift I get because IDK, I'm just awesome like that. Even if I didn't like something, I'd be incredibly grateful for it. A grateful heart is a happy heart.

3. How is your work office/cubicle decorated?
Well...seeing as I don't work....

4. Do you use all of your vacation every year?
Like I said no work=no vacation. Well, I guess technically it means that I'm always on vacation, but you know...

5. Did you have a real or fake Christmas tree?
Real! I love real christmas trees, but they're so expensive. I think I'll probably invest in a fake one in the early years of my marriage.

6. If you could have anything for dinner tonight, what would it be?
Chili and hot dog and rice. Which is, in fact, what we're having :)

7. Do you bite your fingernails?
Nope. Never have. 

8. How many cups of coffee do you drink each day?
zero. 

9. Do you have a nervous tick?
Uhm...well, I usually get the hiccups really badly whenever I'm nervous.

10.  How often do you vacuum?
Never. My bedroom floor is wood so I just sweep and mop. But when I did live in a house with carpets, I'd vacuum like every week, sometimes even every few days.

---

1. Are you fond of cooking? 

I'm more of a baker than a cook. But I actually do like cooking, kind of. I like it if I have all the ingredients in front of me and ready to go. 

2. What kind of food do you prefer eating when you are out? 

my favorite restaurant of all time is Zippy's. It's a Hawaii restaurant and they serve all kinds of food, so i change up my order depending on my mood.

3. Which do you prefer, sweet or salty?
both!
4. Where is the last place you ate out at?
Golden House Chop Suey for dinner last night!5. What's for dinner tonight?
Chili, rice and hot dog! yum!

Linky Tuesday!

Oh hey! It's tuesday again. And it just so happens that i'm procrastinating right now. Which of course means.....linky parties! Haha. Enjoy!

(Link Up!)

1. What type of home do you currently reside in? (house, apartment, etc.)
I live in a town house. The same exact house that I've been living in since birth.

2. If you could completely redecorate one room in your home, what room would you pick, why, and what would you do to it?

Well, I'm in the middle of redecorating my bedroom, so I've got that one covered. But maybe the kitchen. Or the bathroom! Both rooms are in serious need of a make over!

3. What is your favorite place to gain inspiration for your home decor style?
All of these blogs I follow! Everyone has such beautifully decorated homes! I'm always like "Oh yeah! I wanna do that in MY house one day." I also watch a lot of HGTV.

4. What is your favorite piece of decor in your home?
Currently it is my desk. I love it. It's small, but it's absolutely perfect for me.

5. What do you want visitors to feel when they visit your home? Do you think your home gives off that feeling?
When I have my own home, I want people to feel comfortable and like they're in their own home. I've always dreamed that my home would be open and welcoming, somewhere that people would want to come to all the time! That's what I plan on doing when I get my own place.

6. Describe your home in one word and explain why you chose that word.
Memories. I grew up in this house. All of my childhood memories come from this house and this neighborhood. It has played a big role in who I am today.

7. What are some predominant colors or patterns in your home?
Eh, the house has no theme really, but in my room the predominant color is green (favorite color much?). When I have my own house, I can see myself using different shades of yellow and green a lot.

8. What is your favorite room in your home and why?
My bedroom! It's the only place I can really go to get away from life, especially since my family moved in and they have 5 kids under the age of 12. It gets pretty crazy, but my room is MY place, no one can come in unless invited.

9. Do you take a hands-on or DIY approach to projects around your home or do you enlist or hire help?
I'm definitely more of a hands on person. I do take note from other bloggers and people on the internet, but for the most part, I can do things by myself. I inherited a lot of skills like that from my grandpa. Usually, I can just look something up and teach myself how to do it.

10. Where is your favorite place to shop for home furnishings?
Craigslist or thrift shops. I do want to buy at least the living room furniture brand new after I get married and have my own home. And of course, I think I'd want a brand new bedroom set eventually and definitely a new nursery set when I have my first kid. But I can deal with hand me downs for the most part.

Top 2 Favorite Items from 2010! 

1.  My Ollivanders Wand!

I've never shared this baby with you guys yet, so aren't you in luck! I love that I got to pick my own wand when I went to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. My dream was to have a wand of my very own and I absolutely love mine!

 isn't she beautiful? i'm finally a real witch!

2. My MacBook

At the beginning of the year, the screen on my old macbook got cracked and I freaked out majorly! So, my grandma bought me a new one. It's the white plastic unibody one and it is amazing. I really couldn't go back to a PC after having a mac for so long, so I was so scared when the old one broke.

---

1. Did you make any New Year's Revolutions?
It's not really a resolution, more of a goal. My goal is to be a better me every single day.2. What are some goals you have for 2011?

Uhm. To be a better me every day? Haha, other than that, I'm teaching myself how to sew (which is interesting so far), so I want to get better at that. I also want to do more crafty things more often. 

3. What is something that you got for Christmas?

My sewing machine! I love it soooo much!

4. Did you see any good movies over the holiday season? 
TANGLED. Need I emphasize anymore? That movie is the cutest thing I've seen in a while and I already adore Disney! Flynn Rider is my man!

5. Do you do your own taxes or have someone do them for you?

My momma does it for me :)

---

It seems that's all for this Tuesday's linky party! I hope you guys all link up too :)

It's Tuesday ALREADY?

I swear, the week after Christmas and before New Years goes by so quickly that if it were a competitor in the olympics (for America of course) we'd have 500 zillion gold medals. Yep, I just came up with that. I know, I'm brilliant =P. 


OK, moving on. Let's have some linky party fun, shall we?

1. What was the number one item on your Christmas wishlist?
The number one item on my Christmas wishlist this year was a Sewing Machine. Originally,I thought I was just going to get the hand-me down one that has been in my family for a while, which I was totally happy about. But my grandma surprised me with one of my own, and this baby is beautiful!

2. Did you get the number one item on your Christmas wishlist?
I did! Like I said, my grandma surprised me with a brand spankin' new one.

It's a Project Runway Limited edition. And it was on sale at wal-mart! I'll tel y'all more about this beauty later :)

3. How long has it been since you’ve had a pedicure?
way too long! I can't even remember when the last time was.

4. How cold is it in your city today?
It's been kinda rainy and we're expecting more storms, but it's actually only 75 degrees. Yeah, I lov Hawaii

5. How many pillows do you sleep with?
three.

6. Can you roll your tongue?
yessa!

7. Do you always buy the same mascara or do you try new ones each tube?
It depends. Mostly I use the same one, but if I run out randomly and they don't have the kind I usually use, I'll buy a new one. My favorite is Maybelline lash blast.

8. What’s your favorite cookbook?
google. Or other peoples blogs! yeah, i've been getting a lot of recipes from the blogs I follow.

9. What was your first pet?
I had rabbits named salt and pepper, but they weren't really MINE. The first pet that was actually mine was my dog Hoku. She was Chihuahua, and I got her for christmas when I was seven. I had her until I was 18 and then she died :( But she did live a very long life, so yeh.

10. Do you wear jewelry on a daily basis?
Nope. My skin is super sensitive so I can't wear earrings to often and I have to be careful with necklaces as well. Even wearing watches causes my skin to rash. I know, I'm a weird kid :)


OK, now I have to get to cleaning and reorganizing my room so that everything can be in place before Friday. Have a fantabulous day!

This is a procrastination blog

It's true, I am procrastinating. I keep telling myself that I will at least start to clean my room today, but it just hasn't happened yet. I blame it on the fact that I only woke up an hour ago (that's extremely weird for me!), I blame that on the rain. It's been super rainy here for the last two days (which I looooveee!!!!!), but alas today the blue skies and mr. sun has decided to emerge again. Bummer, because I was looking for an excuse to stay under covers today!

Anyway, moving on with life. Today is my cousin Nehemiah's 11th birthday! Happy Birthday Miah!!! 

Also, Homespun Threads has given me a wonderful Christmas present, and it's for all of you too. All of the sewing patterns in the Homespun Threads shop is completely FREE right now. So if you're interested in sewing (and even if you're not) I suggest you head on over there and browse through them. Uhm, I may or may not have gotten a little crazy with that whole thing. It's perfect though! One of my goals for the new year is to teach myself how to sew (it'll be interesting...trust me), so having these patterns will definitely be worth it!


Now, for today's Ten on Tuesday via Roots and Rings! 


1. Do you do any volunteer work? I do. Well, I try to anyway. I actually really like volunteer work, though! That reminds me, I have to do like 50 hours for my scholarship...
2. Do you have night and/or morning ritual? Uhm, I used to and I need to get back into it. In the morning, I would wake up and read my scriptures, then I would eat breakfast & watch some TV or go on the computer. At night, I would read my scriptures again and then read a book until I got really tired.
3. Would you rather exercise or diet? Why? Exercise. Because I like food. A lot.
4. If you would rather exercise, do you prefer going to a gym or working out at home? Both, I guess. It depends. I love doing work out videos and stuf, but I'd rather run on a treadmill and do stuff like Zumba in a class.
5. What do you think is a huge waste of time? Fighting and holding grudges. Just let it go, move on. I mean, don't dwell on it. If you dwell, you're wasting all of your precious time when you could be doing something that makes you happy.
6. What is one way you save time? Being organized! When I know where everything is and that everything has a place, it's so much easier to get things done quicker!
7. What is your current obsession? Online, forum type RPG Games. Yeah, I'm kinda a dork like that. I'm currently in like four different RPGs. They're fun though, you all should join!
8. What is a current obsession you can’t wait to pass? Uhm....I don't know.
9. Are you currently reading a book? If so, what book? Would you recommend it? I am! I'm reading Memoirs of A Geisha by Arthur Golden. It's the first book that I'm reading on my book list for my new Book Blog! I've read it before and I liked it a lot then, but now that I'm older I actually understand more of the themes and I like it a lot better, so yes, you all should read it!
10. Since we had the 90s question last week, what’s your favorite songs from 00′s? Is this not counting 2010, since technically it's the start of the new decade? Well, the 00s are pretty much all my music, I grew up with most of the artists in the 00s. I have to say Taylor Swifts songs (yes all of them) are among my favorites, It Happens Everytime by Dream Street will always be awesome), NSYNC, Mandy Moore, Eminem...I really can't decide on just songs!


I am the momma of the weirdest puppy in the world! This morning, I found her inside the bag of dog food, with no food left in the bag at all. She got so startled when I found her. One of these days I am going to have to dedicate a blog post to her and all of her weird little quirks!

Ok, now I have to stop procrastinating. Later days!

Tay Tuesday!

Is it really that time again already?! Time for some Q&A today. And since I like to combine all my linky par-tays (haha, see what i did there? no? ...okay...) into one gigantic post, I've decided to call this section on Tuesdays "Tay Tuesdays!" 'Cause, my name is Tay...and it's Tuesday...and I'm answering questions about myself. ya'know? OK, well anyways...here we go!


First up this Tuesday is Ten on Tuesdays by Roots and Rings!

1. What are your plans for the holidays? Do you travel at Thanksgiving? If you celebrate Christmas, do you travel then, too?
This Thanksgiving I will be celebrating in Florida with my family! I don't actually have family in Florida, but we're going on a 7-day Disney Cruise right after Thanksgiving, so we're going up a bit early. We'll be in Florida/Disney World on the actual Thanksgiving day!

2. How do you make the plans for the holiday? If you have a significant other, how do you decide which family to visit?
Well, we don't really have actual plans. Usually, we spend it all together. When I was younger, we used to go to Thanksgiving Dinner at my Tutu's house, that's my mom's grandma, but not anymore.

3. Do you have your Thanksgiving meal at lunch or later in the day?
Lunch, and then of course, the left overs for dinner!

4. Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving tradition?
Going to my Tutu's house use to be my favorite tradition, but we don't do that anymore :(

5. After a big meal do you lounge around or get up and take a walk?
Lounge, of course!

6. Do you shop on “Black Friday” or do you avoid it?
I haven't ever been Black Friday shopping, but I would so do it! Maybe later on in life though, when I have my own family, and a husband, and my own income, ya know?

7. When do you usually finish your Christmas shopping?
We got our Christmas shopping for everyone done this year!

8. Do you and your significant other exchange gifts? Is there a budget?
No S.O. so no gift exchange! haha.

9. When do you decorate for the holidays?
After thanksgiving.

10. Do you go “all out” with the decor or do you keep it simple?
SImple. But one day, when I have my own house, I'd like to do more! We use to go all out when I was younger, like huge tree, cute christmas village figurines, the whole 9 yards, but we haven't done that in a while....

Next up is Hoo Are You? Tuesdays via Leslie at Night Owl Crafting.

1. Name 5 things you are grateful for!

Family, the gospel in my life, a good education, the fact that I have a house to live in and food on the table, & friends.

2. What is you favorite dish at Thanksgiving dinner?

Stuffing! I looooveeee stuffing. And mashed potatoes, especially the lumpy kind!

3. Do you have any family traditions for Thanksgiving?

We use to go to my Tutu's house for thanksgiving every year, but that kinda stopped after she passed away. Kinda makes me sad :(

4. Are you staying home or traveling for Thanksgiving?

This year, we're traveling. Actually, we'll be in Florida on Thanksgiving Day! My family is spending a few weeks on the mainland (Florida--Disney Cruise, Disney World, and Wizarding World! & Vegas!)

5. What else do you do on Thanksgiving day besides eat?

Watch movies, sleep, watch football, sleep. Yeah, mostly sleep!

If you want to play along, just go ahead and click and link up!


In other news, we leave for Florida TOMORROW! I am so excited it's crazy. This is my first time going to Florida and we get to go to Disney World AND Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'm way excited about both, but of course I know I'm gonna go absolutely nutso in HP World. Especially since I just saw Deathly Hallows. After Florida, we're going to Las Vegas. It's my first time going there too, which is just crazy since pretty much every Hawaii person considers Vegas the "9th Island." I'm pretty stoked! We're gonna be gone for three weeks, but I'll try updating as much as possible.


Today, it's all about finishing up some homework, washing and putting away all my bedding, and packing those last minute items. So, I'm off for the day!

XOXO,

Questions on a Tuesday

One of the blogs that i absolutely loves does "Hoo Are You" Tuesdays. First of all, you guys know that I love, love, love answering questions about myself. And secondly, how cute are the little owls on the Hoo Are You icons? I adore owls. Anyhoo--haha, see what i did there?--here are my answers to this weeks questions. If you want to play, go ahead and link up at Night Owl Crafting!

1. Do you ever burp out loud in private or public?

No, I don't! It's not that I think it's rude or anything, but more like I just don't have the ability to burp. Ever. It's so strange, I know, but it's true.

 2. How often do you get sick each year?

Maybe 3 or so times a year. But if I count colds, sinus infections, and allergies...well, I lose count already!

3. Would you rather paint a room in your house yourself, or have someone else do it for you?

Myself! I think painting is so much fun!

4. If you get 30 minutes to yourself, what do you do?

Lay on my bed and just relax. 30 minutes is actually the perfect amount of time to just sit and think

5. Do you allow people to wear shoes in your house? 

 Well, I live in Hawaii where it isn't appropriate to wear shoes in the house. I grew up learning to take off my shoes at the door of someone's house. It's very cultural, I guess. So obviously, when people come to my house, they'd take their shoes off. No matter how dirty my floor is!

1. What is your favorite breakfast pastry?
I love glazed and sugar donuts. And donut holes! Homygosh, I love donut holes! I also love cinnamon roles, fresh out of the oven!

2. Were you ever in a Thanksgiving or Christmas play?
I was in both! Multiple times, actually. When I was in elementary school, my school always put on Thanksgiving and Christmas plays for the community. I was an Indian for a Thanksgiving play once, and an angel in a Christmas play.

3. What is your favorite clothing accessory?
Headbands? Are those a clothing accessory? Well, it should be because I adore headbands. Also, scarfs are cute too.

4. What is your favorite item of clothing?
Dresses. I adore dresses and skirts. 

5. What is your favorite color and why?
Green in pretty much every shade. I don't really know why or when I started liking them. I think it's because it reminds me of Tinker Bell and I love TInkerbell.

6. What is your favorite type of Christmas cookie?
The peanut butter cookies that my tutu used to make for Christmas every year!

7. What is your favorite scent (food, perfume/lotion)
Man. I can't pinpoint the exact smell, but I like when boys smell good, or even when they smell somewhat sweaty. I also like the smell of baked goods, and brand new books.

8. What is your favorite household cleaner?
Pine Sol. The blue one.

9. When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? And what did you actually grow up to be?
I wanted to be the person that drove the fire helicopters and dumped water on mountain fires. I also wanted to be a lawyer and an astronomer. And a momma. I am none of those at the moment, but I'd like to be a momma soon. Oh and I'm a teacher.

10. What is the last song or album you bought?
Taylor Swift's CD, Speak Now!
