Questions From Autumn

1. Stripes or Polka Dots?

   Both 🙂

2. Signature Starbucks drink?

   Depends on my mood…  I like a gingerbread latte in the winter, an iced caramel macchiato in the summer with extra caramel, an iced tea if I’m not feeling coffee…

3. What’s your best feature, in your opinion? (Self love, y’all)

   I’m thoughtful

4. If you could live in another era, which era would you choose?

   I will also require an explanation…I like this era. I like life now 🙂

5. Who inspires you?

   My Mom. She was one of the greatest teachers there ever once was.  She worked endless hours and did so much for her students because she loved them. She spend her evenings doing schoolwork and spent her summer in her classroom preparing for her kids. From a daughter’s perspective she put way too much thought and consideration into every single report card and it always took her forever to do them because she would never write anything generic. Looking back, I love that about her. She always did so much extra for her kids and she would do it year after year after year without getting the recognition she deserved. As an adult, I realized that she did so much for her kids because she loved them… not because she wanted a pat on the back.

6. Describe your perfect day.

   My favourite kinds of days are going on new adventures to places I’ve never been before with people I love. Eating good food. Drinking good wine and/or other bevs. Going to the beach. Watching the sunset. Smelling fresh flowers.

7. Favorite way to relax and de-stress?

   Ideally a day at the spa! Followed by wine.

8. Describe one quirk about yourself.

   Oh boy… I have many. I can’t and will not finish the last bit of liquid at the bottom of my drink. The thought of backwash has taunted me from my childhood days.

9. What was your childhood dream?

   So cheesy… to meet my Mr. Wonderful and have a long, happy and healthy life together. Nailed it.

10. What is your mantra/favorite quote?
    
11. What’s one item off your bucket list?

    Paddleboarding!! Happy to have scratched that one off last weekend 🙂
