running on grace: January 2012

My sweet friend, Laura, tagged me in a little blogger game. And because I'm "it" you get to find out 11 fun facts about me :)

the rules to tagging:
1. You must post these rules.
2. Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and link them on the post.
5. Go to their page and tell them you have linked him or her.

1. What are you wearing right. now.

p.j.s

(specifcally--white pj pants with multi-colored polka-dots, an XL shirt of the hubs, and a UGA sweatshirt. and socks.)

2. If you found $100 in your pocket what would you buy today?

I would stash it away and save it in the "I want Frye boots" fund.

3. If your parting gift from the Zoo was an animal of your choice,

which one would you take home with you?

An elephant, of course.

4. Would you rather have a perpetual scab on the tip of your nose or perpetual eye goop?

(choose wisely)

Probably eye goop. That's way more normal than a nose scab. I don't think I'd want to be "the Scabby-Nose face" girl. Plus it would itch and I'd probably scratch it and then it would bleed and then I'd have to put a band-aid on it and that would just look WEIRD.

5. What is the greatest lesson you learned from your mother?

I wouldn't call it a lesson, but my mother taught me how to be a wife and has set a beautiful example of what it means to be a mother. I've loved watching our relationship grow from mother-daughter into wives. And one day she'll show me the ropes of being a grandmother.

6. If you were given a free Super Bowl ad what would you advertise?

I would use that 30 seconds to blast my favorite jam and require everyone in the entire world to dance. ridiculously. I mean, seriously...how great of a mood would that put you in?

7. What is your favorite photograph?

This picture came from my uncle's camera.
He took it during our first dance at our wedding.

8. If you could change your name, what name would you choose?

I'm not sure...I like my name. But I did love the name Nicole when I was little. Whenever I played house/school/office/whatever with friends, my name was always Nicole. And she was way cool.

9. What is the most unusual gift you ever received? (or best, or worst)
I'm having a hard time thinking of best/worst/unusual. BUT. I do have a funny story about a gift. One day my in-laws came over to watch football with Frank and I was out babysitting. They needed to use the can opener but couldn't figure out how. My sister-in-law was so annoyed, she decided to buy us an electric one for Christmas! It was hysterical! She laughed so hard when we opened it and I did too -- I had never been gift-pranked before! I don't think this is the last people will see of the electric can opener.
Watch out, Jessie.

10. What one clothing item or accessory do you wish you could pull off?

Hats. Any kind. I look silly. And then my hair looks terrible.

11. If you had to decide which movie you would teleport into (because that is naturally how this would be possible),

and live out for the rest of your life, which movie would you choose?

I'm not a huge fan of the TV show/movie, but I'd have to say "Sex & the City". I'd love to be able to play dress-up with the wardrobe of that movie!
