11 Things About Me

The other day Veronica who writes at Adventures of D and V tagged me in her All About Me post.  So here are my answers to her questions. 

1.  Have you ever had a nickname? If so what was/is it?   Yes. When I was doing my internship, our boss had a nickname for each of the interns. Mine was Pinky. Because I LOVE pink and wore something pink almost every day. 
2. What is your favorite dessert?  There is a place in a small town north of here that makes the BEST pies ever. My favorite is Raspberry Cream Cheese. I could seriously eat the whole pie myself.  OMG they are just amazing!
3. If you could take a trip anywhere where would you go?  Well, for people who know me, my favortie place in the world is Colorado. Its where we got married, and we just LOVE it there. 
4. What is the #1 most played song on your iPod? LOL this suprised me. Hey, Soul Sister - by Train.
5. What is your favorite way to exercise?  I love to take a walk after dinner. I like walking by myself and having some time to unwind from the day with my own thoughts or jamming out to my iPod.  However, in the winter I am a wimp and do not do this because I hate being outside in the cold. In the winter, I'm a big fan of Jillian's 30 Day Shred (well, usually not too much of a fan WHILE I'm doing it, she is brutal!).
6. If you could stay the same age forever, what age would you pick? Interesting question...I would have to say 19. My 2nd year of college was probably the funnest year of my life, although if I could go back I would probably do some things differently. 
7. If you could learn a new skill, what would it be?  I really want to learn how to crochet. I bought myself a book to teach myself to crochet and last weekend when my mom & I were in our hotel, I did start reading it. And made a couple stiches, but I need A LOT more time and lessons for sure!
8. If you had to change your first name, what would you chage it to?  Ok, I have to take the easy route out on this one. I love my name & wouldn't change it! I think it fits me perfectly.
9. What is your favorite sound? Oh my, our dog Mr. C makes the cutest noise when you feed him bites of apples! He loves them and makes this little crunching sound, it is SOO cute! 
10. When you were growing up, what did you do that got you in the most trouble?  Fighting with my brother for sure. He was a quite a bit younger than me, but he loved to pick at me and we ended fighting all of the time. Our poor parents. But now, we get along great! 
11. What story does your family always tell about you? One my mom's favroties, is when we were shopping once & she asked me how the shirt looked that she was trying on & told her she looked like a "teapot". Everyone knows me as the sweet & quiet girl, and find it funny that I would tell my own mother she looked like a teapot. But seriously, she asked my opinon it was not good, although I probably could've told her in a nice way, but when you're a teenager sometimes thats tough! 

Ok so now its my turn to come up with some questions for you.  I'm tagging Alecia @Chicken Scratch, The Cooking Accountant @ The Cooking Accountant, Denyse @ My Crazy Beautiful Life, Racheal @ Lovely Crafty Home, Cherise @ sewingly along, and of course anyone else who wants to play along!
