Ten Things

1.  I stole this post idea from The Daily Garnish.  I had fun reading hers, and knew it would be a fun post to write.  Plus, with a name like hers you know she’s a smart cookie!

2.  I always try to dress professionally for school – a lot of students come in sweats but our teachers have already told us that they watch our every move before we apply to the next level of our program – but my hair looks like this pretty much every day.

3.  Adam said that my Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Brownies are the best brownies he’s ever had.  I’m over the moon; I have a tendency to get inappropriately excited about making things he likes.

4.  I really like pigs.  I want to own two, and I’ve already got names picked out – General Sow and Sir Francis Bacon.  I want a piglet the way other women want a baby; in fact, I regularly tell the husband that “my ovaries hurt for a pig.”  He hates me.

5.  We both really want a hedgehog.  Did you know that the spiky darlings are illegal to keep as pets in both New York and Miami?  Adam’s not entirely convinced our inability is a bad thing.  He thinks that just because I’ve prenamed our future hedgehog “Sonic,” that I plan on dying him blue.  He’s right.

6.  Contrary to the image #2 belies, I do own some hair accessories.  I store them in a refurbished fruit basket.  I came up with that idea all on my own, and I think this is far more clever than it actually is.

7.  The parking situation is the only thing we don’t love about our neighborhood.  For no discernible reason, there is M-T-W and T-F parking on opposite sides of the street.  Adam is so on the ball, that he kept us from getting a ticket today (Thursday) by moving my car to the Thursday side of the street in the morning.  Yesterday (Wednesday).

8.  Sometimes I have so many clever ideas – pet names, interior design, world domination schemes – that I stress myself out and can’t sleep.  So I put a notepad and pen at the head of my bed.  I’ve never written in it.

9.  I’m most excited that school is over because now I have time to work on my magazine binder projects.  Our dining room table (our only table) has looked like this for months.

10.  This will be my only post this evening.  Dinner was candy and booze.

What’s 1 thing about you?

  1. Your parking is probably like that for street cleaning/snow removal. I used to live in a neighborhood like that in Syracuse — it keeps you on your toes! 😉

    I need to make those brownies!

    • Yep – alternate parking is all about the snow removal (I grew up in Rochester and am all to familiar with having to switch the car…and the snow, too!)
