Escrime · Kate Spade

1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where specifically would it be and why?

DC. When I was growing up, I wanted to live in DC. When I visited it for the first time at 16, I just KNEW it was where I wanted to be and where I could be successful and make a life for rmyself. After college and the military, I was able to do just that. And then fate had to step in and I had to fall in love and move away. I miss it desperately because all my friends and family that really matter to me are there(besides DH). It was the first place where I felt like I belonged completely and where I felt like a grown up.

2. What is your favourite convenience food?

Doughnuts. I haven't had one in ages, but if I started again, I wouldn't be able to stop.

3. What is the most picturesque/visually appealing city you have ever visited and why?

Paris. I loved the sights and sounds and history. I love its cheesy tourist side and the everyday side of it.

The highlands of Scotland come in a close second. It's freaking gorgeous there.

4. Do you have siblings? How many and what gender?

3...one sister, two brothers...and I also just found out I have a half sister, so 4 siblings, I guess. That one is still hard to process.

5. What are some Christmas traditions that you do in your family but you've never seen anyone else do? None that I can think of.

6. If you could have a giant blanket made out of anything you want, what would it be made out of? cashmere! I have one already, and I use it all the time.

7. If you were to get a spell put on you and take on your animal form, what animal would you be and why? I would love to be a cat so I could nap all day.

8. Do you consider yourself an intelligent person? I am well-educated, and sometimes I am able to put that to good use. I think I am above average, and I have belonged to certain organizations that say I am intelligent, but I think to be really intelligent, you have to be both "book smart" and "street smart." I'd have to say my street smarts aren't up to snuff.

9. What's your favourite/best dish/meal to prepare?

I make a great shrimp scampi and the best apple crumble.

10. What brand of shampoo/conditioner is in your shower right now?

The Thymes, I think.
