GTKY Mondays

theholmanherd · November 2014

I have to post tonight because I will be working super early tomorrow and for most of the day, so I don't want to miss it!

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?

theholmanherd · November 2014

1. Travel to Europe, take a cruise around the world, become a published author.

2. I love doing the budget. I'm such a nerd. I create my own special/weird spreadsheets (there are around 5 or 6 sheets per budget). I create possible future budgets, contingency budgets, and I even created a dream budget. LOL.

3. Currently? Episode: Create your story and Covet. I also play Draw Something, Words with Friends, Tiny Tower, Infection, and Diner Dash.

4. I used to go to my friend's coffee shop. In our new area, I drive up the mountain to Leavenworth. It's entirety is based on a southern German town. Everything, down to McDonald's and the gas stations, is Bavarian style. Most of the stores and restaurants are independent places, and it's mountain views are gorgeous. Plus, they have a HUGE Christmas light celebration (the entire town is decorated in December) and a wonderful organic farmer's market from April to October.

5. I have an extreme phobia of bees. I even hated honey cheerios because there was a bee on the cover. I can't hear them on TV, I can't look at them even from behind glass, nothing. I almost stumbled in front of a truck because there was one in my face. I'm so terrified. I'm also super embarrassed by it, so I usually tell people I'm allergic so I don't get weird looks.

@rainbowbridge14‌ what do you do for work that you write?

Autumray · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Visit London, Follow a band on tour ( I cant think of any other big things atm)

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? Read

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game. World of Warcraft (Mobile Armory) I guess its part of the game.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? Anywhere with head phones and Fall Out Boy

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? I hate clowns! I also am terrified of being shot. I have no clue why it is a strange thing to think about. I just really am scared to! lol

TTCBabyJ · November 2014

1. 3 bucket list items: African Safari, skydiving and road trip across the country.

2. Love to do: I love to just lay somewhere and think. DH is finally getting used to walking in our bedroom and I'm just laying there thinking and there is nothing wrong.

3. Guilty phone game: I still love Diner Dash and Cook Dash. I've started to play Hungry Shark as well. I usually play it whenever I'm waiting at the RE's office it really calms me down.

4. Relaxation: I love sitting on the beach and just looking at the ocean.

5. Worst fear: My all time worst fear would have to be mice, not rats but mice. Last winter we had a mouse in our garage and I parked on the street for 6 months even though the exterminator caught the mouse the day I called him out. The exterminator was so shocked that I called him out for one mouse and even looked at me with his head turn sideways when I wouldn't even go in the garage with him. He even said what everybody has said to me for years, "they're more afraid of you than you are of them." Blah blah...I mean who has talked to a mouse to find out. I hate them!

cwuredhot · November 2014

@theholmanherd I LOVE Leavenworth!! DH proposed to me there on a sleigh ride

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Take a cruise (I have traveled all over the world but never been on a cruise), go to Greece, go to Scotland/Ireland

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? I am a baker, I get on baking "kicks" and the next thing I know I have a kitchen full of baked goods.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game Clash of Clans (DH asked me to play with him and now I am hooked)

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? In the summer, hiking around Mt. Rainier. Winter usually just a massage or coffee shop by myself.

5. What is your worst fear? House fires - for some reason it makes me so scared and nervous.

AnnaClaire256 · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?

Oh lawd, I cant believe I am about to admit this...DH had made "visit all 50 states" an item on our bucket list a while back. Recently we changed it to "have sex in all 50 states"..more of a challenge because just driving through won't work! Also, Skydiving and going back to Italy to visit family!

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)

I love cleaning out and organizing. I tackled our art closet today and I really enojoyed it!

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!

I still play Candy Crush. I think I'm on Level 715 or something ridiculous like that.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?

We live just a few miles from a lake with beautiful walking trails and a waterfall. So peaceful.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?

My worst fear is losing someone close to me. I seriously get worried if DH goes to the store at night. I lost my father and sister before I turned 20...since then I constantly worry about everyone. I just seriously turned into Debbie Downer. Sorry, ya'll! Also, spiders!

theholmanherd · November 2014

@cwuredhot, a fellow Washingtonian! I'm so happy there's more of us

BunnyBerry · November 2014

1. Bucket list: Iceland, New Zealand, and a pan-European cruise. Sigh.

2. Boring Hobby: I love to cut out historical paper dolls. The more intricate, the better. It comes from my dad deciding I was old enough not to rip them and painstakingly cutting one gorgeous Victorian dress at a time when I was little.

3. Guilty Pleasure Game: This summer, it was 8's, similar to 2048 but more random so no guarantees of winning (so addictive!). Now, I'm back on my chronic Scrabble kick.

4. Relaxing/Inspiring Spot: A porch swing in the backyard of my parents' prior home. Loved to get up at the crack of dawn even as a middle schooler and hang out there with breakfast or a book. Haven't been able to make that kind of spot at our house yet.

5. Worst Fear: I'm not a fearful person, and don't really get anxious about any creatures, the dark, bad guys, disasters...sorry to be all serious but right now my biggest fear is probably being childless. It's scary to know that there's no guarantee. I have faith that God will take care of us regardless and we'll get through it, but I am scared that might be our future.

@annaclaire256 It's so cool that you have an art closet! What kind of art/projects do you do?

@ttcbabyj Lol "who has talked to a mouse to find out"

Ann612 · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? I don't really have one. I've traveled to the most important places (to me). I feel sort of odd that I don't have this!

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work) I like cleaning. Spring cleaning is the best! I just put on music and have fun, and it feels so good after it's done.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! Scramble is the only game I plat now. I tend to *really* obsessed by a new game every now and then, and then all of a sudden I just stop playing it. Like, cold turkey.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? To the firepit outside. We just got it this year and taking a bottle of wine to sit by it is the best.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? Heights, but what is really more of a phobia is being trapped. Every now and then when DH and I are goofing around, he'll hold me down and tickle me - but if I feel too much like I have no way of escaping, I start to panic. Movies where people are stuck at sea or on a mountain are terrifying to me.

Ann612 · November 2014

@theholmanherd

Spreadsheets!!! I created a budget spreadsheet when we first moved in together in 2004. I can tell you how much our water bill has been over the past 10 years, and everything we've spent money on. It's been neat to see how our salary has grown (and unfortunately the bills too).

Also, I was obsessed with Covet for about 3 seasons.

longhornwino0907 · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Travel to Italy, see ancient Greek ruins in Greece/Turkey, write a novel.

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? I love to clean. It gives me a total zen feeling, plus the accomplishment I feel afterward is awesome. DH always knows when I'm stressed because I start cleaning and can't stop.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game! Words with Friends and What's the Phrase. A little Bejeweled from time to time, too.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? Being out in nature always inspires and relaxes me. Whether it's on the beach, out in the woods, up in the mountains -- doesn't matter. I just love the sounds of nature.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? Hmm... Heights probably. And I would say it's a phobia at this point. I can do some things (flying, being up in the nosebleed seats in a stadium). But I went to one of those trapeze classes for a friend's bachelorette party and totally had a panic attack at the top and refused to actually swing down. They had to let me climb back down the ladder, which they said they never do because it's more dangerous than actually swinging on the trapeze.

DSculley1824 · November 2014

1. Top 3 bucket items list?
Go somewhere extremely tropical with all of my family and friends and rent one big house/cottage/etc and just relax and have fun, meet Lady Gaga, and build our dream house out of the city.

2. Something you love to do around the home that most people find boring?
I love to clean and organize! In addition to weekly cleanings, four times a year I do a "deep clean" and it takes me 12 hours. Every part of my house is spotless and I wash everything that fits in my washer. And I love to organize everything. I can't stop opening drawers, closets, etc once they're organized. Feels amazing to look so neat.

3. Guilty pleasure phone game?
It was Loops but DH kept yelling at me bc the sound is so annoying and I hate playing it on silent. Now it's Jackpot party casino. We have a casino down the road and all of the games on the app are at the casino. I like to actually know how to play them lol. Btw it's all fake money on the app...thank goodness lol.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?
In the summer it's in my pool. I will just float on a raft all day long and just think. In the winter it's my bed. I love being so cozy and warm inside wearing sweatpants and just relaxing.

5. What is your worst fear?
On top of not having kids of my own it would be someone breaking into my house. DH is on the road a lot because he is a hockey coach for a local college. I get so nervous someone is gonna break in when he's not home. We've installed ADT which makes me feel better. We also just installed glass block windows for the basement bc every time DH was out of town I swore I heard someone smashing the basement window in. Lol

Edited: spelling

redandblue · November 2014

Thanks @theholmanherd. Fun Questions!

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?

To be honest I don't have an exact 'bucket list'. I would like to run maybe not a marathon or half marathon, but perhaps 10km. I would love to travel across Canada, as well as throughout the world (probably no where specific, but anywhere!).

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)

I love doing laundry. I love the feeling when it's all done, smelling fresh and clean and neatly put away (the later does not always happen).

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!

I am totally addicted to Fairway Solitaire on my iPad. Like seriously addicted. I love the daily challenges.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?

I don't have a specific place, but I get inspired on the good old pinterest. Oh my DH 'loves' the ideas I come up with from there! ha! I have had several awesome ideas from there, but also some pretty wonderful fails as well.

To relax I try to go once or twice a year to the Scandinave Spa about 2 hours from my house.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?

I don't have any phobia's exactly, but like @amlrunner I have a strange fear of tripping and falling, but not dying, my fear is breaking my teeth. It's so strange. It usually happens when I happen to be walking on metal stairs (which thankfully is not too often).

@ann612 I love sitting in front of a fire. We don't have one, but do like to go camping in the summers and I love sitting around the fire, just being with family, talking or just quiet reflection.

@annaclaire256 I love that you have an art closet! What kind of art do you do? I currently have a craft room (that will hopefully be changed to a bedroom when we are able to fill it!) and this room I literally have a double closet FULL of yarn!

BandM14 · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?

Don't think I'm weird, but I've always said that #1 is playing/interacting with a gorilla or chimpanzee. I am obsessed with watching them in zoos and I watched "growing up gorilla" on Animal Planet when I was younger and was so jealous of the caretaker for the baby gorillas. I've also seen documentaries on Jane Goodall that are amazing. I don't know how you go about meeting a gorilla, but if anyone has any leads let me know lol.

#s 2 and 3 would be travelling related- Italy and France are my top two choices. In order to do that though, I have to get over my flying phobia (see below!).

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)

Ugh. There isn't any housework that I actually enjoy doing. I don't mind cooking though, especially on the weekends when I have time.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!

I'm not into games at all (never even played Candy Crush). Do drinking games count? Because I often watch "Watch What Happens Live" on E and play the drinking game for the word of the day.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?

I like a good ol' mani pedi for relaxing, so I guess the nail salon. I get inspired at work, but I'm far from relaxed there.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?

Flying. TERRIFIED. Give me all the Xanax. I also don't like elevators and will avoid them if stairs are a viable option (I recently walked up 6 flights at my husband's office because I heard the elevators had been on the fritz, and didn't want to risk getting stuck in one).

BandM14 · November 2014

@firstarabesque Ugh, isn't fear of flying the worst?! I totally get what you mean about the whole process... I can never sleep the night before, the waiting to board the flight part is so stressful, and the whole time I'm wondering if it's the last time I'll ever be on the ground alive (SO irrational haha). I can't imagine being in a long-distance relationship and having to fly alone all the time to visit someone! Once we're in the air isn't much better for me... Xanax does wonders, but if there is even a HINT of turbulence I start freaking out. There was a plane crash near where I live several years ago, and ever since then it's been even worse. I really, really want to visit Europe though, so I may look into therapy or something... I know there are places with special "fear of flying" training.

DSculley1824 · November 2014

@firstarabesque‌ yes!! Being on a game show would be SO much fun!

SND1231 · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Visit Paris, build my dream home, and become a child counselor to children going through life altering diagnosis.

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work). I love to bake and meal prep. My DH and I are both health nuts. I meal prep breakfast and lunches for the whole week. All homemade organic yummy food.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! I really don't play games on my phone or tablet. I do look at Pinterest way too often tho!

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? I typically go down to our local river. I bring a book and a sandwich and just relax.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? I am afraid of ladders, spiders, any bug really... But my worst fear is that I will never be able to have children of my own..

wifeofafarmer · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Travel all over Europe, flip houses (not necessarily a bucket list but a goal DH & I have). DH & I built our dream house almost 2 years ago but I already have a list of things I want to add/change

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work Mow the yard! Just something about being on the mower, headphones in singing at the top of your lungs & no one can hear you over the mower. I look at the grass/weeds as my frustrations that I run right over. Also, cooking/baking, organizing anything and everything. (color-coded & alphabetized please)

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! Candy Crush, Super 2048 (goal is to get to the 4194304 tile) and of course, Pinterest for the win

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? At my childhood home, I'd go to our lake lot or hike the creek or hill on our land. Now, its sitting on our amazing front porch watching amazing sunsets...but that only happens 1x/day for just a few minutes so DH & I are currently searching for more ways for me to relax. Relaxing is not my strong suit.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? Losing DH & loved ones.(Glad I'm not the only one who has irrational thoughts of losing their DH at random times) And feet - touching mine, touching others, others touching mine, watching others touch their own, looking at them, just anything to do with feet.

hardlyhannah · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? I don't really have one. I am not brave enough to do the crazy stuff (bungee jumping, skydiving, etc.), but I guess one thing I always wanted to do was take a hot air balloon ride. The other things that come to mind are all travel related - I want to see all of the world. Specifically right now, I want to take the Great Alaskan Highway to visit my brother!

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work) I do like to bake bread, but it never gets eaten so it's not worth it. Vacuuming is a good one too.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! Just Solitaire. I used to play Candy Crush but it was taking up too much of my time and wasn't fun anymore so I deleted it!

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? I love to sit around a fire in my backyard, or just lay around the house and read or crochet

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? I really don't like spiders, and I am also not crazy about open air heights (buildings, planes, staircases etc are fine - but get me next to a cliff and I am terrified). No phobias though.

@Autumnray - Fall Out Boy is one of my all time favorite bands! What is your favorite album? Mine is Take This to Your Grave - always brings me back to the more fun carefree times of my youth. ;-)

AnnaClaire256 · November 2014

@redandblue‌ I paint with acrylics and scrapbook! DH is a painter too but he's super talented! Teaching kindergarten for several years left me with TONS of assorted craft supplies. Closet of yarn?? I love it! I've always wanted to learn to crochet.

BKAlyssa · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Travel to Finland (to see where my ancestors are from), build our dream home (or renovate to make it our dream home), and do a large scale yarnbomb.

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? I'm with @wifeofafarmer I really like mowing the lawn. I love the smell.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game?- I don't play too many games, but I love the explore feature on Instagram or just looking through pics of different hashtags.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? If I go anywhere, it is a pull off on the Alpine Loop (a mountain road near where I live). It opens up into a meadow with a gorgeous view of the mountains. If I can't get up there, just give me some yarn and a crochet hook, and I'll be good.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?-I am really not a fan of heights, especially open air. I also fear the unknown numbers on my phone, especially when it is the area code my parents live in.

deelopi9 · November 2014

1. Be a contestant on wheel of fortune, travel to Cuba to see where my grandparents met, the church they got married in, live in another country.
2. Sweep the pool, it relaxes me.
3. Farkle
4. I love to go running in key biscayne specifically on rickenbecker causeway. It's so peaceful. It's like recharging the soul.
5. I have a phobia of being late to places. It gives me anxiety and used to give me panic attacks.

Sewfie · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?
Do a river cruise through any part of Europe (preferably Eastern Europe), hike at least part of the Appalachian trail solo, scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef.

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)
I also really like to clean. I usually get Saturday morning to myself, so I'll through on PBS (I love This Old House and the like) or NPR (Wait Wait, Ask Me Another, Car Talk...) and clean for hours.

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!
I play sudoku and solitaire on my phone. I used to only play sudoku before going to bed every night and it became a sleep trigger.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?
There's a single track mountain bike trail that I like to run, there's almost never people there, but I usually see animals (deer, turtles, big squirrels). At home we have a sitting room with a big, comfy loveseat by a bid window, it's great for laying on and reading.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?
It's not phobia-level, but I do absurdly fear being secretly recorded, like in public bathrooms. And I don't even think about it every time I use a public bathroom. It's almost like an after thought, when I've already sat down.

Your grandparents are Cuban? My dad's side of the family is all Cuban! My dad, abuela, abuelo, and uncle immigrated in the 60s.

That's awesome, My mom's side of the family are from Camaguey. Most of my great-aunts and cousins all live in Miami. They too immigrated in the 60's. The family has boycotted going back until Fidel Castro regime is over, so once the embargo is lifted we plan to go.

mshandlebar · November 2014

I am a little late. I love reading everyone's answers!

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Visit all the National Parks, hike the AT and visit all 7 continents (MH is obsessed with Antartica, I am more indifferent)

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? Vacuuming and sweeping. I would beg my mom to let me sweep the kitchen when I was a kid. But also budgets and spreadsheets. @theholmanherd, I am the same way, seriously, down to the dream budget

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game?- I am also not a phone game person. So, for the phone I would go with TB. I love me some board games though!

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? Under a blanket is my preferred relaxation spot. It doesn't matter where...bed, couch, floor. As long as I am covered by a blanket, I am good to go.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? I feel your pain @iPutKetchupOnKetchup. Birds, hands down, birds. Geese are mean ass son's of bitches. I saw one punch a little girl in the face with its beak. I ran away screaming like a crazy person when a Titmouse came near me once. They scare the beejeezus out of me. Fish are a close second. And bees would round out the bunch. I don't think I am much of an animal person...

Tiko99 · November 2014

Sorry I'm late...I love this post...

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?

Go to Alaska before it melts

Open up an animal sanctuary

Learn to freaking meditate

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)

I like yard work and painting....I let my thoughts just run away when I'm doing these things

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!

I'm a Facebook and Instagram freak...I'm always on and being nosy looking at what people are up to from high school.

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired?

I have excessive anxiety so I don't have a place to go to relax, but getting a massage does relax me

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?

I have a fear of abandonment, to a point I usually push people away at first because I don't want them to abandon me....I blame this on being adopted...hello therapy!

tinydove · November 2014

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? I want to visit castles in Ireland/Scotland (or both?!); go on some sort of missions trip; basically see more of the world! I haven't seen much of the US, but I've traveled all around my state.

2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work) I love to clean, though it can be exhausting. If I could clean a ton without having all these distractions (needing to make dinner, etc) I could get so much done. Like deep cleaning, and I'm a perfectionist (so it takes me pretty much forever to do anything).

3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! I don't play a lot of games on my phone or my Kindle; but I do spend a lot of time re-watching the entire series of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. They have all of the seasons on Amazon Prime!

4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? I basically relax around the house now. Our neighbors are so close here that going outside isn't the same as where I grew up (northern MI on 10 acres) -- I miss going outside, and it being peaceful! Plus, more nature than people around. We like to vacation up north a lot.

5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? I hate spiders, but I guess a majority of people do?! I can't really think of anything in particular.

LindseyM2012 · November 2014

I know I'm SUPER late to the party, but I love reading everyone's responses to this!

What are the top 3 things on your bucket list?
1. Buy our forever home.
2. Host and cook the entire Thanksgiving for my whole family (there is usually at least 15 people) in our home.
3. Own my own therapy practice.
What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work)
1. Cooking and cleaning. I love spending Saturdays and Sundays cooking a big meal and preparing food for the week (freezer meals, crock pot stuff, etc) and deep cleaning whatever room needs it (I have a love affair with my carpet shampooer).
AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)!
1. Ok this is so juvenile, but I love Candy Crush and Pepper Panic on FB.
Where do you go to relax or get inspired?
1. I put on my headphones and listen to music. If my husband isn’t home, I stream Pandora through the TV and sing very loudly. When I do this, I forget that I’m doing chores and really connect with my soul (sounds cheesy, but music is a part of me).
What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia?
1. I tend to worry about stuff, but I don’t fear too much (big difference in my opinion). No phobias at the moment.

I REALLY want to do #10 now, especially since it is in the 30s in Chicago today. Anybody jogging outside now deserves special attention, in my opinion.

Doing this from the road and I hope it's not too late.

1. What are the top 3 things on your bucket list? Visiting Spain, Niagara Falls and owning a horse ranch. Does that count?
2. What is something you love to do around your home that most people find boring? (ex. baking fresh bread each week or yard work) Cooking is really relaxing to me.
3. AW your guilty pleasure phone/tablet game (or other casual game you play to pass the time, if you don't have a smart phone or tablet)! I normally don't have one but in the lady couple of months I've been hooked on myVegas
4. Where do you go to relax or get inspired? The roof of my house or the beach.
5. What is your worst fear? Do you have a fear that's so severe, it's a phobia? Ants! It's a little ridiculous how freaked out I am by them. And anyone who thinks I'm crazy, sit in a pile of fire ants and then come talk to me.
