Q & A #2 in the orange orchard

On the way back from Julian a couple of weeks ago, 

we pulled over at an Orange Orchard and wandered around taking a couple of pictures. 
I could not justify doing a whole blog post on them but figured I would share them with another Q & A session. 

What are some of your pet peeves?
Where do I start? Traffic, slow drivers, tail gaters, loud chewing, guys with long nails, one long pinky nail, dirt under fingernails, servers that aren't quick with refills, ignorance, the word hella. Is it normal to have so many? I could keep going...

Favorite TV channel?

 We actually just cancelled our cable (gasp). We found that we were paying close to $100 and RARELY watching it. Since we didn't have DVR, I never managed to actually catch my favorite shows when they were on, so I would end up watching them online. Shows like Real Housewives of anywhere, Bethenny Ever After, basically anything on Bravo. We signed up for Netflix though since watching movies is one of my favorite things to do in the world.  

 

One thing you wish you could change about yourself?

 If I could change anything about myself it would my anxious, worry-wart tendencies. One reason that I feel Brandon compliments me so well is because he is always calm, which in turn helps to calm me. I'm always worried about the future, or things that we don't have control over, or things that will probably never happen. I have a hard time shutting my brain off at night because a million things that worry me are going through my head.

Can't stay serious for long

What is the one thing that drives you nuts about Brandon?

ooo, this is such a good question! And I've realized that some of the things that drive me nuts are also things I really love about him too. Talk about being conflicted. I love that he's a man of many hobbies. He's so handy and can fix almost anything. Along with that talent comes a slight obsession with working on things in the garage. He would disappear into the garage for days at a time if I didn't come nagging him once in awhile. For instance, this weekend he has probably spent about 12 hours out there so far. He only left the garage yesterday because we had to meet my parents in Temecula for Mother's Day lunch.

Doesn't it make you want freshly squeeze orange juice?

Q & A Session #1

A week or so ago I asked you guys if you had any questions for me and I got so many good ones. I'm going to answer a few at a time, so if you don't see yours answered here, I'll post more next week!

Since you are studying to be a librarian, are you a big reader? And if so, what are you currently reading?

I love to read! Unfortunately, being a student sometimes sucks the fun out of it when there is so much required text book and article reading. The class I'm in currently is a Young Adult Literature class which actually requires me to read and review 50 YA books. It has been challenging finding that much time to read in the evenings, but I've also enjoyed how much of it is "fun reading" i.e. Twilight, The Hunger Games, etc. 

Favorite Karaoke song?

Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield. My husband's 80's cover band used to cover this song and it was a sure fire way to get me on the dance floor and singing my heart out. I'm envious of anyone that actually gets to be Jesse's girl (cough, Lauren, cough).  

What's your cup size?

Haaa, wow. I did say I would answer any question, didn't I? Alex, I'll take D for $500 please.  

What's your favorite Disney movie?

A week ago, I might have said that I couldn't answer this question because I love them all so much. However, I've been on a Disney watching binge lately, catching up on all of my old favorites. Little Mermaid wins hands down. {Although, Beauty & the Beast is a solid runner up.} I can't tell you how many hours I spent splashing in my grandma's pool pretending to be Ariel. "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collections complete. Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has, everythinggggg." I could sing the entire soundtrack for you. 

Something you love about each of your parents?

I love how silly my dad is. His sense of humor is to die for and he never fails to make me laugh. I would also have to add that I love how much he loves my mom. It's out there for everyone to see. As for my mom, I would have to say her brain. She really is the smartest person I know, and would be the first person I'd call for my life line if I ever made it onto Who Wants to be a Millionaire. 

I can't tell you how windy it was while we were trying to take these pictures! I ended up needing my hair touched up before the ceremony.

If you have any other questions let me know at any time :-)
