Q&A 3/6/12

Erin shared some cool stuff about herself over on her blog today. Feel free to play along and answer some fun questions about you.

1. What led you to blogging? My friend Paige really encouraged me to start blogging about four years ago. I wish I blogged more back then (about wedding plans, my 366 photo project, the randomness that I seem to always leave out) because I remember things happening but would have a better memory if I blogged them.

2. What's one goal you have for your blog? To make new, encouraging friends. Not the deepest goal, but that's what blogging seems to have naturally done, so I'd like that to continue.

3. What's your favorite part of your home? I like our bedroom (when I put all my clothes away).

4. What would your closet or home (your choice) say about you? Color overload! 

5. Favorite meal or comfort food? Pasta any way. I love a great, zesty pesto sauce.

6. What item would you love to splurge on if money was no object? A luxury car. Ok that's being practical. If I was honest, I'd say an Hermes Birkin bag. I know, completely shallow, but I have been saying for the past five years that if I could afford one and not look like a moron carrying it (meaning I would need to have a very different life, I know this is never happening) then I would buy one.

7.If you had an entire day alone, with no responsibilites or obligations, how would you spend it? Probably a little thrifting mixed with reading and knitting. Maybe a movie thrown in there during knitting. Or a Mad Men marathon.

8.Favorite vacation destination? I would love to go back to London. It was magical.

9. Do you live near your hometown, or have you moved far away? I'm about an hour away from where I grew up, which compared to some who have moved great distances from home, it's not a lot. I just plug in my iPod and listen to a book during the drive to my parents'. 

10. What's your dream job, if there is such a thing? I think I'd love being a stylist. I watch shows now and like thinking about the outfits and checking out the details of the sets (not the actual structures, like decor, dishes, etc). It's almost like a treasure hunt scrutinizing the pasta pot used on Modern Family to decide if it's LeCreuset (it so is). Still trying to figure out those dishes though. Square Fiesta? I dunno.

11. Complete this thought. Ten years ago...I was in my freshman year of college. Eeek! I didn't even know my husband yet. Most of my closest friends weren't in my life then. A lot can change in ten years.
