Ten on Tuesday

You should probably to link up over at Chelsea’s blog today for ToT, because it’s ToT #100 today! Show her the love for hosting such a fabulous meme!

1. How do you take your coffee?
With two tablespoons (yes, tablespoons!) or sugar and a good dose of Vanilla Toffee Caramel cream by International Delight.

2. Do you prefer soft or crispy chocolate chip cookies?
Crispy! And then I dunk them in milk.

3. Do you wear a belt everyday?
No. Most of my work pants don’t requre/have loops for belts.

4. What is your favorite colour combination?
Black and any colour. I’m kinda boring that way.

5. Do you like sour candy?
I do! Kyle hates it though. And once when I had a Japanese exchange student in high school we let her try salt & vinegar potato chips and I think she almost died. It was a little funny.

6. How often do you do laundry?
Usually we do two or three loads a week, depending on how Kyle’s work schedule does.

7. Did you ever wear braces?
Ugh, yes. And, because I took my retainer while I slept, my top teeth are all crooked again. Money well wasted. Sorry Dad!

8. Are you good at Roman Numerals?
I think I know them up to maybe 30? I can’t say I use them on a regular basis, other than trying to tell time.

9. What is your favourite form of social media?
Probably Facebook. Easiest way to communicate with people besides actually texting or calling them.

10. How do you feel about chin dimples?
I find them interesting and they immediately make me think of John Travolta. He once said in an interview that he told someone (a child, I think) that he hides stuff in it. Ha!

Ten on Tuesday

1. What is your dream vacation?
I don’t have a dream vacation, really. I would love to go to China one day though. If it doesn’t happen, I wouldn’t call my life a waste though.
2. What has been your favorite trip so far in your life?
Kyle and I’s first trip to Vancouver together. It was amazing and all inclusive. Can’t get any better than that!
3. If you and one of your best friends could go anywhere in the world for one week, where would it be and why?
Somewhere tropical, where we’d sip on fruity drinks and oggle at the pool boys.
4. Have you ever booked a trip using an online deal? How did it go?
I haven’t, only because I don’t travel. One day … one day …
5. What’s your favourite thing to do while you’re on vacation?
Eat! When in Rome, right? I love to try new foods when I go places. Sight seeing is okay, but eating is so much better!
6. Have you ever missed an opportunity to take a trip that you regret?
Nope.
7. You travel far away from home and get stranded with no way to buy anything, what’s the one thing you can’t live without?
A map, or GPS. At least I could find my way around somehow.
8. What’s one of your favourite traveling memories?
Traveling with my grandparents. They’ve taken me to so many places! I flew to Palm Springs to see them, I went to the Sunshine Coast with them, I travelled with them to Alberta. They are amazing grandparents!
9. All included resort or backpacking? Why?
All-inclusive. I’m a big baby and would probably whine about backpacking. I’m a little more high maintenance than I care to admit to.
10. Are you more of a lie on the beach kind of person on vacation, or do you prefer to see the sights?
I’d probably see the sights more than I’d lay on the beach, mostly because I hate sun bathing. I like to keep moving when I’m in the sun.

Ten (?) on Tuesday

Things are a little different today on Ten on Tuesday. It’s 10+16 on Tuesday, meme style!

A. Age:
A quarter of a century. Or 25. Which ever makes me seem less old, because that’s how I feel these days.

B. Bed Size:
Queen. It’s amazingly comfy (a Beauty Rest!) but next time, I think we’re going to get a king-size.

C. Chore that you hate:
Dishes. For real. I miss having a dishwasher SO much. In fact, Kyle and I joke that we’re buying a new house just so we can have a dishwasher. Most expensive dishwasher ever!

D. Dogs:
We have one bat-shit crazy Malamute named Daphne, and we love her:

E. Essential start to your day:
Breakfast. I need to eat, or I’ll get cranky. I need food more than I need coffee in the morning. Shocking.

F. Favourite Color:
Yellow! But – it doesn’t dominate my life. I rarely even wear it. My car has enough yellow to last a long time!

G. Gold or Silver:
Platinum, because I’m a snot bag like that ;)

H. Height:
5’4″. I’m a shorty :(

I. Instruments you play:
I used to play piano, and I can sit down and still read music okay.

J. Job Title:
Official title? Editorial assistant. But I do 100 million other things at work too.

K. Kids:
None yet …

L. Live:
In beautiful British Columbia!

M. Mother’s Name:
Lori

N. Nicknames:
I don’t really have any really!

O. Overnight hospital stays:
None! Lucky me! *knocks on wood*

P. Pet peeve:
Repetitive noises. Like the dinging noise when car doors are open. Or tapping. Or water dripping. I go crazy in the spring when the snow is melting off the roof. Not even kidding.

Q. Quote from a movie:
“Have you ever been to Georgia, Wyatt? It’s very green there…”

R. Right or left handed:
Righty!

S. Siblings:
One little brother and one step-brother

T. Time you wake up:
Sometime between 7 and 7:30 a.m., depending how groggy I am when I first hear my alarm clock.

U. Underwear:
A lady never speaks of her underthings. I’m no lady, but I will say they’re always clean :)

V. Vegetable you hate:
Hmm … can’t say I’m a huge fan of peas.

W. What makes you run late:
The internet! All the time! Or my husband. He likes to hold me hostage while I’m trying to leave for work, but it’s rather cute and amusing.

X. X-Rays you’ve had:
Other than ones at the dentist, I’ve had a few on my shoulder since I’ve dislocated it a few times.

Y. Yummy food that you make:
I make a mean steak marinade, and Kyle says my lasagna is pretty awesome.

Z. Zoo Animal:
Penguins. Or hippos. Or raccoons.
