TWO: Answers to questions given to me

1. What is your favorite season, and why?

• I actually don't have a favorite season. However, I get super happy and relaxed at the beginning of each new season (especially when the weather calls for wardrobe changes!!!)

2. Would you rather travel to Hawaii or Italy, why?

• Italy, because that's where my family is from!

3. Favorite quote or saying:

• "To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~E.E. Cummings

4. Do you prefer long hair or short?

• Depends on the person. Long hair looks best on me, because my hair is so thick, but there are definitely some short looks I wish I could pull off!

5. If you were given one million dollars, how would you spend it?

• Easy: pay off students loans and pay for the rest of schooling for me and my family, then invest the rest in a high interest account.

6. What is your decorating style?

• Oh dear...boho chic meets art deco meets modern simplicity meets environmental meets vintage. Yeah, I'm kind of all over the place.

7. Are you a reader? If so, what's the latest book you read?

• YES! The book I'm currently working on is called People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad either! Just not my usual genre.

8. Favorite flavor of ice cream:

• Fudge Brownie (the kind with the big chunks of chewy brownie pieces)!

9. What is something you want to accomplish within the next six months?

• A 4.0 GPA for the semester!

10. Do blondes really have more fun?!

• Absolutely not! Brunette's where it's at!!!

11. What's your favorite vacation spot?

• Anywhere my family is! Love those crazies!
