1. Where do you want to retire? Tough one. Realistically it might be somewhere in further NW IL or southern Wisconsin to get away from Chicagoland traffic and taxes. But I'd like if we could stay here. And if we won the lottery and were super rich? Lake Tahoe, north rim in NV.
2. Celebrity you would most like to hang out with? Kevin Smith (before he became a total pot head in recent years). Otherwise, Jon Stewart.
3. Favorite music artist right now? Hmmmm...Zac Brown Band? All time? It will sound weird, but either Counting Crows or Bare Naked Ladies. Those bands helped me get through my late teens - early 20s and I am forever grateful for the soundtrack to my life at that point.
4. Your go to movie/TV show/book/activity when you need something to take your mind off of life (or IF)? Either Friends repeats or I put in the West Wing DVDs. I actually watch those waaaay more than is probably healthy.

1. Where do you want to retire? County Clare, Ireland
2. Celebrity you would most like to hang out with? I'm not really into celebrities. Maybe Sandra Bullock or Emma Watson?
3. Favorite music artist right now? Of all time? Sara Bareilles is pretty close to my top fav right now or maybe Seether. I don't know that I have an all time favorite. It really changes according to my mood.
4. Your go to movie/TV show/book/activity when you need something to take your mind off of life (or IF)? No one activity works for me sadly. So I go through my list til something takes...photography, digital art, reading, writing, video games, motorcycle, gardening, hiking, crocheting, playing cards with the family, if two or three don't work I crawl into bed and daydream til I fall asleep
5. If you were invisible where would you go first? I would not care to be invisible. I felt like I was for most of my younger years. It's not a good feeling.

2. Celebrity you would most like to hang out with? I was also going to say Jennifer Lawrence but now I feel unoriginal, lol.
3. Favorite music artist right now? Of all time? This is tough. I'm not a huge audiophile or anything so I don't know that I have an all time favorite. My current playlists have Fun, Mumford, Maroon 5, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, etc. I can tell I'm feeling moodier than usual.
4. Your go to movie/TV show/book/activity when you need something to take your mind off of life (or IF)? I've had a lot of free time lately (starting a new job in mid-July) and have been going through my Harry Potter movies.
5. If you were invisible where would you go first? I have no idea, lol! I think I'd like to walk around the White House and just observe everything.
1. Mountains in Colorado
2. Charlize Theron. Seems totally cool and maybe a little raunchy? I like it
3. I don't know if I have a right now. All time is Bon Jovi;
4. I love movies, so I could watch just about anything. Maybe Teen Witch for something fun. Otherwise I love to read trashy novels on my Kindle; I've read so many in the last year
5. I wanted to say a football locker room, but I'm not so sure about that. There's probably a lot of gross things that would ruin the fantasy;p So now I'm not sure I'd want to be invisible at all. There's just things I'd rather not hear if people didn't think I was there
2. Paul Rudd, Seth Rogan or maybe Chelsea Handler, I like to laugh and I think they'd be entertaining.
3. Imagine Dragons. Black Crowes.
4. HGTV
5. I am not sure where I'd start, but I would go to a lot of awesome places. I would definitely climb in the exhibits at the zoo and see the animals up close.

1. Where do you want to retire?
I haven't really thought about that? All of my family is here in Michigan so I don't know if I would want to leave, but maybe get a second vacation home for the winters? I don't know where I would want that to be yet...I guess I should think about this more haha.
