1. What is your favorite breakfast pastry?

Croissants, definitely! They’re so delicious. It’s a plus if they’re cheese croissants. Mmm…

2. Were you ever in a Thanksgiving or Christmas play?

The elementary school I went to always did a Christmas concert. Each class would put on some sort of skit, song or play. I was also in Christmas plays at the local church. (My piano teacher was Christian and convinced me to join. They were fun!)

3. What is your favourite clothing accessory?

I have no accessories! I wear a belt when I have to. Annnd … that’s about it. Maybe when I’m old I’ll wear broaches.

4. What is your favourite item of clothing?

My lululemon Wear With All sweater. So cozy!

5. What is your favourite color and why?

Yellow, because it’s bright and happy.

6. What is your favourite type of Christmas cookie

Sugar cookies (with LOTS of sprinkles!), followed closely by gingerbread men.

7. What is your favourite scent (food, perfume/lotion)

I love the smell of food cooking! Walking into somewhere and smelling delicious smells is my favourite.

8. What is your favourite household cleaner?

I’m a big fan of Clorox Wipes! Really, that’s all I use in the bathroom. And Scrubbing Bubbles. And Mr. Clean magic erasers work wonders on my flat-top stove.

9. When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? And what did you actually grow up to be?

When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian, but I’m now a journalist. A little different path!

10. What is the last song or album you bought?

“Only Girl in the World” by Rhianna.

1. Who makes your Thanksgiving dinner?

This may sound gluttonous, but I usually have two or three Thanksgiving dinners. My Mom usually makes one and Kyle’s Mom will make one as well, usually a few days apart. My Dad sometimes makes one too, but usually he saves all his turkey cooking strength for Christmas dinner. The best thing about having three dinners? They all make different kinds of stuffing! Nom.

2. What is your favourite recipe the includes pumpkin? (bonus points for including the recipe)

Pumpkin pie, which I’ve yet to have this holiday season!

3. What are 5 things you want for Christmas?

A wireless network connector for my XBox, a DSL camera, books … I really don’t want much.

4. Does your family draw names or do you buy for everyone?

On my side of the family we buy for everyone, but on Kyle’s side, we draw names.

5. How do you feel about motorcycles?

They scare me. I’ve never really ridden on one, and the one time I tried to drive a dirt bike, I nearly crashed. I’m a little scarred I suppose.

6. What’s your favourite thing to do on a rainy Saturday?

Watch movies or read a book.

7. What is the coolest thing to do in your city?

There is ALWAYS something to do, at least touristy-wise. Ski hills, hiking trails, outdoor activities, special events … there always seems to be something going on.

8. Do you paint your fingernails?

No, but I paint my toenails.

9. Who is your favourite actor over the age of 50?

Morgan Freeman

10. Do you have a high school letter jacket?

No, my high school definitely didn’t have letter jackets.

Two posts in one day! I guess that’s the great thing about doing the 30 Day Blogging Challenge!

Anyway, here’s another installment of ToT, brought to you by the awesome Chelsea! (Click the button to go to her page !)

1. Do you colour? If you do, is it with markers, crayons, colored pencils, etc.?

I haven’t coloured in ages! I guess I need some little ones in my life. But – I think my favourite medium to use is probably pencil crayons, followed by crayons. Remember those boxes of crayons with the built-in sharpener? Yeah, I have one still! lol

2. What’s the most organized part (or system) in your house?

Probably my kitchen cupboards. I like having a functional kitchen and not having to search high and low for something in the middle of cooking. My plastic container cupboard is amazingly tidy!

3. What’s the most unorganized part (or system) in your house?

Probably our basement. It just have random stuff on the shelves with no real organization. Kyle’s grinder is sitting beside the canned tomatoes … it’s a mess down there!

4. If you had unlimited amounts of time and money, what museum would you want to see and why?

I got to visit the Royal Tyrell Museum when I was in Grade 6 and that was pretty awesome. (DINOSAURS!!) I’d also love to visit the NMNH in NYC just because of the cool exhibits. History is pretty cool; I’d probably go to any museum!

5. What is your favourite part of the fall season?

Warm sun through the windows on a cold day.

6. Did you dress up for Halloween?

I did. My costume was just thrown together, but it was fun dressing up for work.

7. Have you started Christmas shopping?

Heck no!

8. Do you crack your knuckles?

Yes, all the time. I refuse to believe that it’s bad for me.

9. If you had to live in another city for a year (all expenses paid), which city would you choose?

Vancouver, hands down. There’s just so much to see and do, and it’s still close to home.

10. Do you have any reoccurring dreams?

Lately I’ve been having horrible “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant”-type dreams. Horrible! Scary!
