All the Single Ladies Blog Party | Tag

Because this is a grand idea...

{1} White chocolate or milk/dark chocolate? Milk chocolate. Definitely.

{2} Tea or Coffee? Tea.

{3} Movie or book on a night-in? Depends entirely on my mood and if I have a sewing/crochet project to work on. Usually the movie wins out, although I do love to read.

{4} Rom-com or a tear-jerker? Again, depends on my mood. How about a rom-com that is also a tear-jerker? Those are definitely my favorites.  If a movie can make me both laugh out loud and cry, it's a winner.

{5} Who is the first literary couple to come to your mind?  Emma and Mr. Knightley.  Also Mr. Thornton and Margaret from North & South.

{6} Who is the first *movie* couple that comes to your mind? Okay, it doesn't help that I already read Ally's answers to these questions. ;) But in all honesty, the minute I read this question on her blog I thought, "Ten and Rose!" So, yeah...I'll go with that. ;)

I spent way too long trying to find the perfect Ten & Rose pic...finally decided on this one because Idiot's Lantern is one of my very favorite episodes.  Ever.  I mean, the 1950s, people!

{7} Roses or chocolate? Roses. You can dry them and they'll last for {almost} ever. If you've been to my house, you'll know that I love to dry flowers.  And I love chocolate, too.  Because it's yummy. ;)

{8} Fancy dinner in a 4-star restaurant or a simple picnic? Picnic. Love being outdoors.

{9} Dream wedding scenario: outdoor family affair, or a formal church wedding & reception at a 5-star hotel? Definitely an outdoor wedding with family and close friends.

{10} What was the last love song you listened to? I'll Be Seeing You sung by Frank Sinatra.

{11} Favorite real-life/celebrity couple? Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.

{12} One piece of advice about love: To wait for it.  Don't feel like you have to go out and find it.  The Lord will bring your love to you in His perfect timing.  And use your waiting time wisely.

Grey Days to Glimmering {Blog Party & Giveaway}

Because I'm definitely feeling uninspired post-wise these days...

1| What's your favorite thing to do when you've been feeling uninspired?  Take a walk and bring the camera along.  Or browse through my Pinterest boards.

2| Tell us about a really great movie/show that you've just discovered.  Ramona and Beezus {rated G} - super, super cute family film based on the books by Beverly Cleary.  I grew up reading those books and I love this film!  Also, for my adult readers, Just Like Heaven {rated PG-13} - laugh out loud hilarious, but also a real tear-jerker.  Totally loved this romantic comedy.  Be advised, some content is definitely inappropriate for my younger readers.

3| What do you like to do to change your mood?  Go for a walk, read my Bible, or talk to my bestie on the phone. :)

4| Your favorite drink is currently...  Chocolate Caramel Enchantment tea with honey in it. Yummy!

5| When you hear the word exuberant, what's the first word that comes to mind?  Fun.

6| What made you smile last?  A voicemail message on my cellphone. :)

7| What five songs would make a playlist to describe your week?  Oh, goodness...questions like this always throw me.  I guess pretty much anything from Point of Grace's early albums - Life, Love, & Other Mysteries, Free to Fly, Steady On, etc.  Just happy, uplifting, Christ honoring, contemporary music.

8| What's at the top of your creative 'To-Do' list?  Patch the sweater my dog chewed on so it is once more wearable.  That was about 5 years ago when she was still a puppy. :)

9| The last thing you crossed off the above list was... More laptop sleeves for my shop.

10| Quickly - the first movie quote from the top of your head, please!  "Badges? We don't got no badges. We don't need no stinkin' badges!" - Treasure of the Sierra Madre...and no, I have not watched that recently.  It just popped into my head.

11| The best thing about January is... Cross country skiing with friends!

12| The worst thing about January is... Cabin Fever, also known as The Winter Blahs, at least in our house.

13| What's your #1 resolution for 2013?  I didn't really make any resolutions this year.  But I would very much like to finally finish reading through the Old Testament.  I keep getting stuck. *sheepish smile*

14| And lastly, share a quote or verse that you've found especially inspiring lately.   Because I'm the queen of always sharing more than is asked for, I have two inspiring quotes. ;)

Thanks for organizing a bit of fun during this drab month, Kellie!
