Did you know?

I came across this little survey on another blog called The Bottom of the Ironing Basket and I thought it would be fun to answer some of the questions!

1. Small town, Country, or City girl?
Well, I am actually from a small town in New Hampshire called Bedford, but after college I moved into one of the biggest cities in New Hampshire called Manchester where I lived in the tiniest, cutest apartment. A year later, I move down to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I will officially call myself a country girl!

The adorable Miranda Lambert: my favorite country singer!

2. Music or Books?
This one is a very hard one to answer! Music is a very big part of who I am, and without it, I may be lost in this big ol' world. BUT, books have always been my way in which I can escape reality for a few brief hours. This is a toss up, so I am going to call "Heads" on Music!

3. My Perfect Day: Spa or doing absolutely NOTHING:
Hands down: Absolutely Nothing. I ADORE my Sunday's of sitting around, drinking a pot of coffee, cooking a nice big dinner and sitting on the couch with a glass of red. I have a huge white comforter that I wrap myself in, and I couldn't be happier!

4. London, Paris, New York, or Sydney?
Sydney, although the flight would be VERY LONG. The accents, the surfing, the culture, I AM IN!
{Sydney}
5. Bread or cake?
Bread, for this CARB JUNKIE! I've made this wonderful recipe below: It is called Bloomin' Onion Bread and it delicious! Recipe Found Here

 6. McDreamy or McSteamy?
Easy, especially if this is fantasy. There is something about Eric Dane in Greys Anatomy that makes my heart skip a beat. He is a ruggedly handsome bad ass who knows how to rev a woman's engine.

7. Romantic Hero or Superhero?
Superhero who is romantic?

8. Heels or boots? 
Heels all the way. Love them all! The higher the better!

{Breathtaking! Christian Louboutin}

9. French Chic or Italian Sex Appeal
Italian sex appeal. Need I say more?

10. Chocolate of Coffee?
Coffee, preferably a pot of it. Colombian Blend or French Vanilla.

11. Great shoes or gorgeous underwear?
Sometimes a woman just needs pretty lingerie. But please refer back to number 8....

{A little bit of lace}

 12. Mani, Pedi, or Massage?
Manicure!

13. Talk it out or keep it to yourself?
Talk it out. I am finding that you don't get anywhere by being meek. I used to be the exact opposite...I kept everything to myself and would eventually just burst into tears. Not the best way of accomplishing the desired effect. 



14.One beauty product I cannot live without?
Mascara. Accentuate the best feature...

15. One item to take on a desert island?
A bottle of wine. Although not the best thing to take, I think I would enjoy a few glasses in my coconut shell until it got dark....



16. One life-changing moment?
Leaving everything I have ever known, throwing it in a car, driving 1300 miles to Chattanooga, TN. 

17. One movie that always makes me cry?
The Notebook. A rather generic female answer. I think the idea of true romanticism leaves me forever blissfully breathless.



18. Who would play the handsome hero in the story of your life?
He is already an active part of my life...

19. How long have you known your oldest friend?
6th grade, and we have had ups, downs, and we have remained friends. She is now a beautiful mother of three little girls! 

20. 3 dream cities?
Venice, Venice, Venice? I long to go to Italy! Someday, someday. Sigh.

{Please take me there now/pinterst}

21. 3 Things on your Bucket List?
1. Kiss the love of my life under the Northern Lights. 2. Write & publish a book. 3. Learn how to play Led Zepplin's {Stairway to Heaven} on the guitar. Preferably on an acoustic. 

{Miss Bardot}

22. Who makes you feel better on challenging days?
My lovely, thoughtful boyfriend!

23.Am I happier now, than I was at 20?
Abso-fuckin-lutely. With age comes maturity, grace, and a feeling of independence, confidence, and assurance.


 24. Describe yourself in one-word?
Unique

25. One thing I know for sure?
Love is all you need.

Temptation

The Crazy Ones

{pinterest/daring, she is crazy/beautiful}
 
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not found of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy...

{Because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who DO} 
{Unknown, but delightfully brilliant and insightful}

Ghost

He closed the door yet he opened a multitude of others; each containing a secret he was not prepared to handle. Her body shook from underneath the bed; her tears leaving a stain on the rugged carpet. He had found her; but what she couldn't understand was how. 

She wondered if she had been negligent. Had she left clues behind? No, she argued with herself. She knew she had been careful. She watched as he moved throughout the hotel room; the bathroom, the small kitchenette. He moved methodically and quietly careful not to make his presence known. His breathing was unsteady and shallow. Again she wondered how he had found her. Her thoughts were soon interrupted by his masculine voice. "Anna, I know you are here. Where are you?" 

Silently, she cursed."Please Anna, come out." he pleaded as he opened the slender closet door. "What kind of trouble are you in? I have detectives showing up at my house." Fuck, fuck, fuck, she mumbled under her breath. "Fine", she managed to say, as she crawled from underneath the bed. "But turn around, I just got out of the shower." 

It was like seeing a ghost; the sight of her paralyzed him. There he stood, like a pile of bricks as he watched her curvy, naked body move towards the bathroom. He gasped, wondering if he was dreaming. Was this a reality? As he rubbed his temples, she reappeared from the bathroom. "Want a drink", she asked as she tied up her bathrobe, concealing the body he so desperately wanted to hold.
