1. When you are on a plane and the kid behind you is kicking your seat, what do you do?

I’d probably ask the child where their parent was, and then ask the parent to get the child to stop. If there’s no parent around, then I’d just ask the child to stop. Or slip them some sleeping pills. (I kid, I swear!)

2. What food that you KNOW is bad for you and you shouldn’t have, but you love/eat it anyway?

Copious amounts of cheese. Especially fried cheese. De-licious.

3. What is your favourite book of all time?

I really don’t think I have one. I love all the books I’ve read! Maybe Marley and Me? It seriously made me laugh and cry equally, and I just rewatched the movie on the weekend.

4. If I came to visit you in your town, where would we eat?

We’d have breakfast at Cora’s, lunch at a restaurant downtown (whatever cuisine you’re feeling like!) and dinner at my favourite pub!

5. You have $500 and 40 minutes to spend it at any store you want. Where do you go?

Probably an electronics store. I’d really like some accessories for my Nikon, like a tripod and a macro lens.

6. What blog do you read every day/the most often?

There’s a handful that I will absolutely read the whole way through no matter what. I’m not going to name drop, but I *think* they know who they are :)

7. What’s the longest you’ve ever been stuck at an airport?

A couple years ago I went to a newspaper conference in Saskatoon and we had a five-hour layover in Calgary. We could’ve left the airport and explored the city a little, but it was winter and cold and involved going through security (again) when we came back to board. Too much work, so we hung out and read/played on computers/rode the moving walkway.

8. What’s your daily makeup/face/cleansing routine?

I wash my face in the shower in the morning and then put zit cream on any blemishes and then moisturize. Then I continue on with cover-up and mascara. That’s about it. In the evening I just splash water on my face.

9. Where is your farthest away friend?

Fort St. John! It sucks having her so far away :(

10. Where is your favourite place to go hiking (or to enjoy nature)?

I haven’t gone out and “enjoyed” nature in a while due to allergies. I do like hiking through local parks though, I should really go out sometime soon. Maybe take the dog … when it’s not so hot outside!

1. What do you traditionally do for 4th of July?

 Traditionally, it’s just a regular ol’ day for me! But, I do always think of how us Canadian are huge wieners in having to celebrate our national holiday first, lol

2. Did you follow your tradition this year? How did you celebrate yesterday?

I certainly did, lol!

3. What’s the best fireworks show you’ve ever seen?

When I was in Grade 6 we went to watch the Celebration of Lights (I think it was called the Symphony of Fire then). It was absolutely spectacular! For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s an international fireworks display competition choreographed to music. I think we watchedChina’s fireworks and they won that year. I definitely want to go watch them again sometime!

4. Have you ever been injured by a firecracker?

No! My dad used to get ahold of them, but I was only allowed to watch, not touch. It’s probably a good thing.

5. Burger, Brat, or Hot Dog?

It’s a toss-up between a burger and hot dog. I love them both when I have a craving for one. I’m not a big fan of brats though. Too sausagey.

6. Do you sport red, white and blue on our Independence Day?

Can’t say I do ;)

7. If you had to be from any country other than the USA, what country would it be?

Canada! Haha ;)

8. Charcoal or gas?

I don’t think I’ve ever used a charcoal grill, and we have a propane barbecue. My mom has a natural gas barbecue though … so I’ll say gas?

9. What’s your favorite thing about this fair country of ours?

Well, since I’m Canadian I’ll say that my favourite thing about the gool ol’ U.S. of A. is the fact that when certain junk foods are discontinued inCanada(Code Red Mountain Dew for example), you can still buy it in the States. I give my grandparents a shopping list when they go snowbirding every winter toPalm Springs, lol.

10. God Bless the USA, My Country Tis of Thee, or the Star Spangled Banner?

I’ll say Star Spangled Banner, only because when I watch hockey games that are in American arenas the singers are always soooo passionate about the anthem but always mangle the Canadian anthem.

1. What’s the recipe for your favorite drink? (Smoothie, alchoholic, coffee, whatever.)

I don’t know if I have a favourite drink. I’ll go with Caesars. So, Clamato, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, vodka. Preferably with a pickled bean.

2. What kind of razor do you use?

I think it’s a Venus Embrace? I just grabbed whatever Costco had for the Venus line. Razors are freakin’ expensive!

3. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?

Probably Snuffaluffagus. Or the Count.

4. What makes the perfect salad? (Lettuce type, toppings, dressing, etc.)

I really like Caesar salad or Greek salad. Usually when I go to restaurants if there’s a Caesar salad option I go with that one.

5. What was your favourite subject in school?

I don’t know if Phys. Ed. counts as a subject, but I did like it. I’ll go with English. It was at least my best subject.

6. What’s your favourite summer tradition?

We try to have a big barbecue with all our friends at least once a summer. It’s a lot of fun.

7. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? How do you combat them?

Oh hell, do I ever. I combat them with allergy pills (right now it’s Arius) and just staying indoors. Seriously, I go outside on certain days and I’m sniffley within 10 minutes.

8. How often do you have to charge your cell phone?

Every night. It’s such a battery hog, it’s ridiculous.

9. Do you have a bucket list?

Not yet, but I do want to do such things like skydiving. That’s about it.

10. Do you have any desire to go back to school?

I’ve often thought about it, but not really. I certainly don’t miss it.
