Lost in Place

I have a number of very favorite blogs. The ones I check obsessively a million times a day. Of those, one quickly shot to the top of the list as soon as I found it. The girl just kills me. Not only does she have the shiniest hair and glossiest lips, but she’s smart and funny too. And on top of all that, she’s a rock star mommy to the cutest little boy! So when she did the 5 questions thing, I just had to jump on board. Here are the 5 questions she asked and my attempt at decent responses.

1. What is the last thing you do before getting into bed at night?

That depends on the night. If my husband is up playing loud games, I usually turn on the TV to block out his sounds so I can get to sleep. Don’t ask but somehow the noises down the hall keep me up so much more than the noise by my head. Go figure. Otherwise, I skip that step and just kiss my little baby on the head and then hope I pass out before she has the chance to wake up again.

2. Do you like beer? If so, what is your favorite kind?

In a word – no. It’s not for lack of trying. I have. Again and again and again. I want to like beer. I can drink everything else – hard liquor, bring it on yum! But something about beer just doesn’t sit right in my mouth. I’ll keep looking for that one beer, the beer I know that’s out there somewhere that just doesn’t taste like, well, beer. Until then, I’ll stay a martini girl.

3. If you had to move to Europe, what country would you live in and why?

I should say France. I want to say France. I dream of going to Paris someday. But something in me is saying Switzerland. I know! HUH?? There’s something from my childhood that just ties me to Switzerland and I have no idea what it is. I don’t think we went there when I lived in Germany as a kid. Maybe? I know every picture I’ve ever seen from there takes my breath away (of course I’ve only seen the pretty pictures, shut up). But maybe it’s the cheese. Or the chocolate. Oh who am I kidding? It’s gotta be the scenery.

4. Doughnuts or pancakes?

Neither. Both. Yes, another example of the walking contradiction that is me. Sometimes I really like doughnuts and they’re so yummy. Other times the idea of them makes me want to find the nearest garbage can. Same with pancakes. Who knew you could have such a love-hate relationship with food. Today? EW! To both.

5. Who is your favorite artist and/or musician? Why?

This is such a difficult question right now. Can I say I’m between favorites? I’m taking a short break from committing to just one? I’m on hiatus from the ones I love to re-evaluate my state of affection? Oh fine. Since I know it will be the same when I come out of this ridiculous funk I’m in, I’ll just keep the answer I know it was and will be…. Mmmmmm Dave Grohl. Yeah. Foo Fighters. I know, it’s not singular, it’s technically “band” not musician (I did note the lack of s). But it’s the Foo Fighters. Exceptions are allowed. And to answer why… They’re the Foo Fighters. That in itself is reason enough. More need not be said. They simply just ROCK!

So there you have it. My 5 answers to Whoorl’s 5 questions.
