I've been tagged!!

My cartoon alter ego.

I was tagged a million years ago by the fabulous Lindsay of Shrimp Salad Circus, so here's more information than you probably ever wanted to know about me...

1. Your hair? I'm in the process of growing it out. The plan is to donate it to Locks of Love, let's hope I can resist chopping it off before then!
2. Your favorite food? If I had to pick just one food to live on for the rest of my life, I would pick pickles. Yes, I realize I'm strange.
3. Your favorite drink? I'm addicted to Soy Hot Chocolate but part of my new year's resolution is to cut way back on caffeine (good bye Starbuck's).
4. Your dream/goal? I would love to do something creative/write about crafting for a living. I also want to travel the world with Mr. Designs by Vanessa and to one day become a mommy.
5. Your hobby? Besides being crafty, I love photography, writing, traveling and I even enjoy working out (most of the time).
6. Your fear? I have a seriously irrational fear about spiders. Eww, just thinking about it makes me cringe!
7. Where were you last night? Mr. Designs by Vanessa and I watched Point Break (you know, the movie where Patrick Swayze plays a hot surfer/ex-president bank robber?) and went to bed. I live an interesting life!
8. Something you say all the time? I probably need to stop saying "fabulous" so many times. I annoy myself with it lol.
9. Something that you’re not? An outdoorsy person (but I still enjoy looking at the outdoors - from indoors!)
10. Wishlist item? A wireless remote for my camera.
11. Last thing you did? Wrote up a report for my "real" job.
12. What are you wearing? Jeans, a fuchsia top and a fabulous (I told you I overuse this word) new fuchsia/gray scarf.
13. Your pets? I have the 2 cutest furbabies - Sparkles and Chyna.
14. Friends? I have them and love them.
15. Missing someone? I miss my family and friends who are scattered across the country.
16. Something you’re not wearing? I'm not wearing shoes at the moment.
17. Your favorite store? Anthropologie and of course Etsy!
18. Your favorite color? I was always a purple and pink fan but now I'm really loving all of the bold colors, especially mustard.
19. The last time you cried? I started tearing up at one of those heartbreaking ASPCA commercials. Those get me every time!
20. When's the last time you laughed? I laugh everyday, Mr. Designs by Vanessa is a pretty funny guy.
21. One place that I go to over and over? Hmm the internet?
22. Where do you eat? When I'm out and about I love me some Pita Jungle.

I've Been Tagged

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I've been tagged by Olive Street Studio and thought I would play along. I'm tagging all of my blog readers and anyone who wants to play a game of tag :)

What is your current obsession? If you couldn’t tell, I’m a little obsessed with anything bird related. Birdies are slowly taking over our home – inside (we have birdie soap in our bathroom) and out (our welcome mat says “Welcome Every Birdie”). Back when we lived in TX, a bird family built their nest right in front of our door every spring and would fly away with new babies. Because I’m homesick for TX, I wanted to find a way to bring TX to AZ and that was the start of my obsession.

What is your weirdest obsession? I wouldn’t call it an “obsession” but I have many quirks (that sounds nicer, right?) related to food. I love pickles…I mean looooove pickles and not just any brand will do, it has to be the brand with the little girl sticking her tongue out on the logo (does anyone know what I’m talking about?). My parents once gave me a jar of those pickles for my birthday…the perfect present!

What are you wearing today? I just got home from the gym so I’m wearing comfy black yoga pants and a grey t-shirt.

What’s for dinner? I haven’t thought that far ahead yet. Hubby is feeling a little sick today so I’ll probably make soup of some sort.

What’s the last thing you bought? I bought a fabulous mustard color oversized purse (purses and shoes are my other obsessions).

What are you listening to right now? An Oprah rerun is on the TV.

What is your favorite ice cream flavor? I love coffee flavored ice cream…I could live off of this (and pickles...no I'm not pregnant)!

What do you think of the person that tagged you? I love the Olive Street Studio is a mother/daughter team. They have gorgeous chenille quilts and baby items.

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like to be? I would love to live in Spain but because it would be too far away from my family and friends, I would pick a home back in TX next to our birdie family.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? Anywhere with a beach!

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe? Aside from my wedding dress, I really love my mustard color (apparently this color is a new obsession) cardigan.

What is your favorite magazine? I like Martha Stuart Living (she makes everything so pretty!).

If you had $100 now, what would you spend it on? I would probably buy a cute pair of shoes.

Favorite artist/s? One of my faves is an artist I found on Etsy - Amy Giacomelli.

What’s your favorite season and why? I love summer. See HERE for my reasons.

Describe your personal style? I love all things girly and feminine but I also like to be comfortable. Now that it is summer, I’m a fan of cute summer dresses. I have a thing for bold colors (think Crayola’s “bold” colors). I detest wearing athletic shoes when I’m not working out and you will usually find me in pumps (something my hubby hates because I usually complain about my feet hurting if we walk a lot).

What are you going to do after this? I’m headed to the grocery store.

What are your favorite movies? Here are just a few in no particular order: Across the Universe, Garden State, Little Miss Sunshine, Moulin Rouge, American Beauty, Amelie, Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pride and Prejudice, I Am Sam, Grease and many more!

What inspires you? People, nature and anything really.

What music do you like this week? I’m loving the new DMB album.

What is your dream job? I thought I knew but now I’m not so sure. I think as long as my job allows me to be creative I will be happy.

If you could change something in the world to make it a better place, what would that be? I like Olive Street Studio’s answer – acceptance of those not like ourselves.

What do you have planned for tomorrow? Hopefully going to see My Sister’s Keeper.

Tag you're it!

Kirstie of Bonhomie Jewelry recently tagged me. I'm supposed to post the 4th photo in my 'pictures' file and tell you about it. Because my pics are organized (yes, I'll admit to my OCD tendencies) into sub folders I will post the 4th pic in my "2009" folder...


This picture is of the Seattle Space Needle. My hubby and I were just there for his b-day/v-day weekend. Seattle is such a unique city full of interesting people, great food and tons of fun things to do! If anyone is going there anytime soon, make sure to visit Piroshky, a Russian bakery right across from the market. Oh and don't forget to get a bag of those tiny donuts they sell inside the market. Can you tell we love food?!
