4. What is your favorite thing to do on the weekend? Sleep in.
5. Favorite vacation destination you’ve been to? Dream destination? Bermuda! Dream: Italy.
6. What’s your sign? Astrological that is. Sagittarius. According to this: “The great strength of the Sagittarius-born is their philosophical, wide-open and curious nature. These folks seek both knowledge and truth, and they are eager to share their explorations with others. Their optimistic and generous spirit makes them a pleasure to have around.” Ok yes.
7. Who is the first blogger you connected with (that you didn’t know) after you started blogging? Probably Hey Natalie Jean, formally known as Nat The Fat Rat. But, let's be honest. It was Laurie who connected me to the blog world. So all of the credit goes to her. LYLAS! Literally. :)
8. What is your favorite smell? It was a tie between automobile grease and my parents house on Thanksgiving Day. The smell of grease reminds me of my dad. He's a mechanic. The scent gives me a sense of security and love. I know, I'm getting emo here and it's a bit strange, but it's the truth. Love you dad! <3  And, the smell of turkey and food cooking on Thanksgiving Day speaks for itself. Happy Sigh.
