Ten on Tuesday, do it again.

Supposedly we're getting 3-ish inches of snow tonight.  I'll believe it when I see it.

That said, I could totally go for a snow day.  Cuz the weekend wasn't a restful one.

Now, onto the main event!

1. What are your thoughts on Valentine's Day.  Do you love it?  Hate it?
I love it, even if I've never had a boyfriend for the day.  There are many people in my life that I love and it's a great day to celebrate that fact.

2. What is your favorite romantic comedy?
When Harry Met Sally is close to the top of my list.

3. Meg Ryan & John Mellencamp: what's your first reaction?
Fine with me.  I don't really have a strong feeling about it.

4. All time favorite poem or quote?
Cliche yes, but I still love it.  Excerpt from Marianne Williamson's Return to Love:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates other."


5. What's the longest amount of time you've gone without sleep?
Somewhere between 30 and 48 hours.  It's all a little foggy when I get tired.

6. What color ink do you prefer to use?
I can't say that I have much of a preference.  For me, it's more about the smoothness of the writing experience with a pen.  (Sarah, are you laughing a little right now?)

7. Share with us a blog that you recently found and fell in love with (and link us!).
You probably could have already guessed this, but I read A LOT of fashion blogs.  It's a recent addiction and who knows how long it will last.  A current favorite, Running on Happiness, is fun to look at just for the gorgeous pictures.

Another favorite that I have shared before is Enjoying the Small Things.  Kelle is amazingly honest, has amazing pictures, and has absolutely adorable girls.  You should be reading this.

8. If you could be on a reality TV show which one would you choose?
Honestly, probably the Biggest Loser, not because I need to lose that much weight, but because the idea of having a trainer work with me for such an extended period of time sounds awesome.  Just think of all the cool ideas you would learn.

9. Mountains or beach?
Honestly, it's a toss up.  I love both.  Probably, I would choose beach because ours aren't even a little sandy and the mountains are practically in my backyard (not that I take advantage of them).  So some tropical beach.

10. With the Oscars around the corner, what's your pick for best picture?
Since I haven't seen a single nominee, except Toy Story 3, I don't think I'm qualified to pick.  What do you think?

    Wow. I love it when you read something that just fits at the exact right time.

    Thank you for delivering this little message from heaven to me.

  2. I've had a bf for Valentines Days in the past, but still thought it was highly overrated... I feel bad for being such a downer on that holiday- maybe it stems from the fact that I broke up with the last bf I had on V Day? Maybe? ha ha...
