Ten on Tuesday

Recently, I came across this idea (answering ten random questions about yourself every Tuesday) on another blog, and it immediately spoke to me. Why? Well, I like filling out surveys, sharing information about myself, and having one post a week already planned out for me. Brilliant!

This week, I'm borrowing some questions from past issues, but after that I plan to follow the routine questions posted weekly on the Ten on Tuesday website. I think it's just a fun way to incorporate myself into my blog a bit more. Enjoy!

1. What is your favorite month?
This one is so difficult for me, as I find pleasurable elements about each month. One of my favorite benefits of living in the Midwest is getting to experience all four seasons. That being said, my choice would probably be December. Nothing beats the magic of Christmas, or all twenty-five days of anticipation, along with my birthday.

2. What is your favorite online store?
My first instinct would be Barnes & Noble, but my credit card proves otherwise. Apparently, I’ve spent a small fortune on Shutterfly.com. Then again, I always say I’ll never regret buying memories.

3. You go to a new Italian restaurant; what is your go-to order?
That’s easy: cheese ravioli. You know, I’m pretty boring like that.

4. What is your favorite board game?
Growing up, my favorite was Monopoly, as my family played some pretty epic competitions. Now, though, I have to go with Scrabble. I’ve been playing online, and I’m a bit of a show-off with my mad skills.

5. Do you know how to play poker?
Only enough to know that I’m a terrible player. Even my own husband refused to play with me at family gatherings. (Thanks, E!)

6. What's your favorite kind of pie?
Pumpkin pie. Mainly my mom’s version. End of story.

7. What is your dream vacation?
Honestly, I’m pretty easy to please in the vacation department, other than my no-flying rule. (In case you didn’t know, my two random phobias in life are flying and centipedes.) Ideally, I’d like a warm beach, a never-ending line-up of food not prepared by me, and endless time to relax.

8. What color are your toenails painted?
Right now, Essie Turquoise & Caicos, to lend a beachy feel to these long winter weeks.

9. What is the last movie you watched at the cinema?
Over Christmas break, Erik and I managed one date, a relaxing meal at Texas Roadhouse coupled with a much-needed trip to the cinema to see Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows. That movie? Fabulous. I won’t even mention the dream I had later about Robert Downey Jr. Fabulous, I say.

10. What is your favorite movie soundtrack?
As cliché as it sounds, nothing beats Dirty Dancing for me. Never has, never will. A piece of my heart will always belong to Patrick Swayze.

P.S. After careful consideration (and so as not to injure any blog readers with an overdose of me), I have decided to only post Ten on Tuesday once a month. February edition....coming soon! ;)
