Tag I'm It!

Don't worry friends I haven't given up on my 31 days of inspiration that post is still going....see below.
Today I've been tagged by my friend Ruthfaith from Life.Love&Marriage. *Thanks for the tag Ruthfaith*

Ok so this is my first time being tagged but apparently there are rules to this thing:

  1. You must post these rules.
  2. Each person must post 11 things about themselves on their blog.
  3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer.
  4. You have to choose 11 people to tag and link them on the post.
  5. Go to their page and tell them you have linked him or her.
So let's get started with 11 things about me shall we?
  1. I don't eat chocolate, or cake or ice-cream or cookies. I simply don't have a sweet tooth.
  2. I never seem to stay asleep once I get to sleep, prime example its 1:38am right now while I'm writing this post.
  3. I have a funny knack for quoting movies, so the slightest thing in conversation with someone may remind me of a movie and I'll bust out with lines from the movie.
  4. My birthday is coming up in 19 days and I'm super pumped!
  5. This year I'm going to teach myself to bake again.....I haven't baked in over 7yrs.
  6. I have a slight obsession with handbags and shoes (but what girl doesn't).
  7. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and just stare at my husband sleep (yeah creepy I know)
  8. I have no tolerance for disrespectful people.
  9. I have a bottle of anti-bac attached to and in every bag I own (don't leave home without it).
  10. I love texting but I'm not fond of talking on the phone.
  11. I love to shop but I'm like a deer in headlights when shopping. Every item on our wedding registry was picked by hubby (except one: the Rowenta iron I picked) because I got so overwhelmed, I usually drag him shopping else I can never decide on anything. 
Aaalllrighty then! So here are the 11 questions Ruthfaith asked me:

1. What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?
Adele Rolling in the Deep
2. What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
Unloading the dishwasher, I'll wash a million things just don't ask me to put 'em away. 

3. What’s your favorite indoor/outdoor activity?
Indoor - reading
Outdoor - biking
4. What is one of your favorite quotes?
Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today!

5. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be and how long would it take you to spend the $10,000?
In a dream: Neiman Marcus cause it has just about all the brands and things I love and would spoil myself rotten with. I'm like a deer in headlights when shopping (see above), I can't decide when I'm shopping it would probably take me a good day or two to blow that kinda dough......ahhh a girl can dream! In reality I would probably not spend the money and end up donating some. 
6. What is your favorite meal to prepare?
Chinese Napa Salad with grilled salmon and steamed veggies, takes me 30mins......done!
7. What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone?
Probably the prank we played on my in-laws last year when we told them we were moving to London, everyone was in tears...it was utterly fantastic! Still can't believe they all fell for it.
8. Who would you want to play you in the movie about your life?
Can't I play me....I mean if I'm alive, I'd play me cause really who can play me better than me? But if I must choose someone I'd choose probably Jada Pinkett Smith (sister's gotta have the right amount of attitude and still be able to crack a joke....okaaay!)
9. How many siblings do you have?
One....brother 4 years older.
10. What is your guilty pleasure?
Dried Mango Fruit by Mariani. I discovered them in 2010 and now I order by the case directly from the company. Chris usually has to hide them from me cause I will eat two packs a day! 
11. What food/dessert couldn't you live without?
Seafood. I can live without chicken, beef, anything except seafood. 
I don't eat dessert so really there isn't a dessert I can't live without. Once in a while I may indulge and share something with hubs but meh, not much my cup of tea. Unless its that Tiramisu I had in Italy this december at Buca di Ripetta.....I've tasted tiramisu when he's ordered it before, but never quite like that!

So now its my turn to pick 11 questions for my 11 victims lovely gals I'm about to tag:
  1. What's the most interesting or moving book you've ever read?
  2. Which do you prefer the book or the movie?
  3. If you could move to anywhere tomorrow, where would it be?
  4. What's the one thing in life you can't leave the house without?
  5. What's the furthest place you've flown to?
  6. If you could be anyone for a day who would it be?
  7. What is one word that best describes you? (ONLY ONE)
  8. What's been your greatest accomplishment to date?
  9. What's your favorite type of food?
  10. What's one nickname you have?
  11. What's the best thing you did in 2011?
And in no particular order, I repeat these are in no particular order, here are the results of my 11 choices:
  1. Dani @ OkDani
  2. Jessica @ Heart on Homestead
  3. Nicole @ The Johnson Experiment
  4. Cynthia @ Adventures of Team Pancakes
  5. Ashely @ Episodes of a Mixed Girl
  6. Tonya @ Baby Dreams 2011
  7. Toi @ Life of Toi
  8. Legally Chocolat @ Life After the Verdict
  9. Tara @ Tugboatphotographyjournal
I made it all the way to 9.....I would add in the last two but because of personal issues with their livesI know they are unable to participate at the moment. I'll not replace them with someone else but choose to stop at 9.
