My Answers:
1. What were you doing before this? Dishes (okay that was mostly Dean, I can't lie.) I was eating (drinking?) a root beer float and reading a few paragraphs of the third Hunger Games book. It was kind of painful. The book, not the float.

2. What's your most common grocery item? I'm wishing it was something exotic and wonderful, but even with Dean's allergy, it's still probably milk because I buy it every single week no matter what. Or watermelon during the summertime (which has already started at our house) because we pretty much eat that every week too.
3. If you could go on any vacation, what/where would it be? Well, the most recent issue of Bon Appetit has made me want to go to Paris now more than ever, but if I had to choose my number one destination it would probably be...an extended tour through Latin America including climbing to Machu Picchu, a lengthy stay in Buenos Aires and most of all a no-hassle trip to Cuba!! Also I get to interview people and spend a lot of time meandering. There you have it. As a side note, I interrogated (but in a friendly way) the sealer when we went to do some sealings in the temple on Saturday because he said he had been the cultural attache (can't find the accent on blogger) in Montevideo, Uruguay as well as in Lima, Peru, Bogota, Colombia, Mexico and Guatemala. Heaven right? I loved him, not least of which had to do with his referencing Robert Frost. (The road less traveled bit.)
4. Paper or digital? Paper. Not opposed to digital, but for making to-do lists, grocery lists etc. I need paper for my brain to work properly. I also still enjoy curling up with an actual book or magazine. But, I also don't have a kindle etc. so that might be why.
5. Favorite pair of shoes? Some black/cork wedges. I adore wedges. If I were rich I'd own a million pairs.
6. What instrument do you wish you knew how to play? Any! I took piano lessons as a child but stopped around 8 for one reason or another. I plan on living my hopes and dreams out through my children though and will see to it that they are musically inclined. j/k. well sort of- I do want them to play instruments.
7. Would you rather smell like Limburger cheese all the time or have no teeth (and no way of replacing them)? Smell like cheese. Only people with a discerning palate would want to hang out with you- what's wrong with that?
8. If you had a $1,000 shopping spree, but could only spend it at one store, what store would it be? Oh please. Anthropologie. I'd buy nine things (ten if I hit the sale rack) and be totally obsessed with them. This was the easiest question by far!
9. City or country? City! Unless by country you mean a remote beach, which I could also get used to.
10. Movie or song that makes you cry every time? Hmmm..there's a lot to choose from here people. I almost cried in class the other day when I showed my 8th graders 12 Angry Men and Henry Fonda helps the grumpy guy with his jacket at the end. I'm sort of a wuss. So let's see. Young Victoria-he loved her so much!! Finding Neverland, Mr. Kruger's Christmas, Rabbit Proof Fence. Still, if you don't cry during Rabbit Proof Fence I think your heart may be MIA or else you're a soul-less robot or something.
11. Where is your happy place? To paraphrase Edward Sharpe, Home is wherever I'm with Dean. Sayulita (where we went on our honeymoon nearly 5 years ago!) is pretty hard to beat though...
Sadly friends, I do not have any thought-provoking questions to post at this time, nor do I have enough friends to tag who haven't been already. On the up side, I do have some lesson planning to get to. So, without further ado, I bid you adieu. To you, and you, and you! Goodniiiight!

That was fun friend! I'm jealous that you guys have watermelon already! It hasn't made it's way up here yet.
Loved reading your answers. Thanks for indulging me (especially since I didn't know you back in middle school, and I'm betting some of your answers have changed since then :)).
