Ten on Tuesday

Time for another edition of Ten on Tuesday brought to you by Chelsea at Roots and Rings! :)

1. What does your car say about you? If you don’t have a car, what kind of car would be your daily driver?

Being that it’s bright yellow, it says that I’m loud, which is true when you hear  my stereo. Loud!

2. To this point, what has been your purpose on this planet?

I’d say to make people happy, because that’s all I ever seem to want to do.

3. If you could trade places with any person for any amount of time, who would it be?

Someone less fortunate, so I could see how different life can be. It’s definitely not all sunshine and rainbows.

4. What is your favourite kind of cake? If you don’t like cake, what is it about it that you don’t like?

Probably chocolate tiramisu! Mmmm …

5. Would you have wanted to live in your parents’, grandparents’ or great-grandparents’ generation or only your own?

Well my grandparents grew up in the 40’s/50’s and my great-grandparents grew up in the 20’s/30’s and either one would be amazingly interesting! I could live without the 70’s when my parents grew up though, lol.

6. Do you have any home remedies for illnesses, cleaning or otherwise?

Pickle juice for hiccups. And if you’re moving furniture and have those annoying dents in your carpet, just pour some water into the dent and it will lift it out! (It won’t work on carpet like berber though) I learned both of those tricks from Kyle’s aunt and uncle :)

7. What is your ideal weather situation?

Sunny and in the mid-20’s. (Or low 70’s for you Americans! lol) Not too hot but not too cold :)

8. What is your best attribute (physical or personal)?

Physically, I have no idea, but Kyle would probably say either my boobs or my eyes. (Go figure) Personality wise, I’d say “my one vice is I’m too nice.”

9. Do you text or surf while driving?

No way! It’s illegal here in BC.

10. How long have you known your best friend?

I have two best friends. I’ve known one since 2005 and the other since 2007.

Ten On Tuesday

Time for Ten on Tuesday, brought to you by Chelsea at Roots and Rings!

1. What is your favourite piece of furniture in your house?

Well, if yesterday’s Vlog wasn’t any indication, I don’t have any nice furniture, which results in my not having a favourite piece of furniture.

2. If it was raining so hard on a Saturday that you couldn’t leave your house, what would you spend the day doing?

It would be a toss up between watching movies all day or cleaning. Watching movies would probably win though.

3. What was your favourite candy as a child?

This is a tough one! I’d have to go with Fuzzy Peaches:


4. Did you get an allowance? What was it based on? What did you do with it?

I think I got $10 every two weeks. It was based on chores like doing the dishes, dog poop scooping, vacuuming, etc. The usual stuff.

5. Do you have a favourite Etsy store?

I don’t! Should I? Suggestions please peoples!

6. Do you prefer time with family or time with friends?

I enjoy time with both!

7. Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, or Animaniacs?

Looney Tunes all the way! Although I did watch Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.

8. Best daytime talk show: Oprah, Ellen, The Doctors, Tyra (ha!), Dr. Oz, or Dr. Phil?

I don’t watch a lot of daytime talk shows, but I’d have to go with Ellen. Oprah is a little too cult-ish for me.

9. Would you rather have the power of invisibility or the ability to fly?

Fly! Then I could travel anywhere I want to.

10. Name 1 thing you love about being an adult.

I can go to bed whenever I want to :) Other than that, it’s more expensive to be an adult!

Ten on Tuesday

Alright kids, you know the drill! It’s Ten on Tuesday time brought to you by Chelsea at Roots and Rings!


1. If your name was a verb, what would “to Kara” mean?

“To jump nimbly pimbly-like from tree to tree.”

2. What myth have you always wanted to prove or bust?

That Pop Rocks and Coke will make your stomach explode. Any volunteers to help me test this??

3. If you had the ability to get a message out to the entire world, what would you say?

That despite popular believe, the customer is always WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

4. I know you’ve answered a similar question before, but it’s been awhile. Please name your current top 10 blogs.

Aww, do I have to? In no order:

5. Do you have a junk drawer?

I have several “junk” drawers. Four, to be exact. I know, shame on me for having so much junk, but 2/3 of it isn’t even mine, I swear. It’s the MIL’s since we live in her house and all. I’m not allowed to throw stuff away.

6. Bottled water or tap?

Usually tap, but we do put it into a Brita filter jug. Kamloops’ water is  by-far the best from-the-tap water I’ve ever had though.

7. As a kid, did you have a favourite Biblical story?

No. I’m not religious but I did go to Youth Group just for fun. All I remember is the story about Jonah and the Whale. :P

8. What is your favourite black and white movie?

Was Singing in the Rain black and white? I don’t think it was …. How about Citizen Kane? Oh, I know! Clerks! lol

9. Aside from your engagement/wedding rings, what is your favourite piece of jewelry that you own? Does it have a story behind it?

I don’t have any engagement or wedding rings. :( But – as tiny as it is, I do love the promise ring Kyle gave me. He also gave me a beautiful new necklace a couple Christmases ago, which I really love. (Or maybe it was our anniversary? I can’t remember … Oops.)

10. What sports/activities do you hope your kids will be involved in? (Answer for both a boy and a girl)

Boy or girl, I hope they try everything at least once. I’m dying to be a Volvo-driving soccer mom though. Haha!
