    I'm incredibly bored too.

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? None. Unless smoking a lot of pot counts? I didn't even really go to class all that often. 

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? Rolling Stones. Not sure exactly how many times but I'd say between 15-20.

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Flat strappy sandals.

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Plain old vanilla. Baskin Robbins has a golden oreo churro flavor right now that's pretty fucking great.

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live?  Northwestern Montana. We plan to do that anyway.


    Edited because formatting was bugging me.

    I'm avoiding work..

     

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? As little as possible. I think I was in yearbook.

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? None (I'm not a concert person)

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Mint flats from target

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Pretty much anything tbh. I think Nutella ice cream might be the top.  

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? Hmm. Nothing in particular. More hot weather, and a long weekend.

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? I'd probably move just south of where we are now. Its a small 'town' (5m away), with gorgeous houses on a lake. And then spend all the rest of the time vacationing.

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? I've seen Dave Mathews, Zac Brown, Kenny Chesney and Jimmy Buffet about 7-8 times.

    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? Field Hockey for two years and marching band for four.

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? Nsync (2).  I haven't been to a concert in years.  Two years ago I was going to go to the Justin Timberlake/JayZ concert but then we bought a new SUV so I just couldn't justify (no pun intended) spending $400 for tickets.  Thinking back now I regret that decision so damn much.

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Flat sandals.

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Chocolate.  But I also really like the Cake Batter from Cold Stone.

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? I leave for vacation to Ocean City on Saturday (Aug 1st)!  My birthday is also at the end of August but I am kind of "whatever" when it comes to birthdays.

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? Florida.  East coast but further South, probably around Fort Lauderdale area.  This is where we want to live now because H has a really good friend who lives down there and my parents are about 4 hours away while my sis is 8 (much closer then they are now which is about 10-17 hours away).  

    But we would also have a home in Vail, CO (H loves to snowboard) and then just travel a shit ton.

    Watching a live feed of a funeral service for a fallen fellow LE--waiting for it to start :(

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Black ballet flats

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Ben & Jerry's Phish Food. 

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? Nothing, actually…

    Oh agreed! Work is so slow this week, especially since this weekend is a long weekend, it always seems to take forever to get here! 

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? A bunch of friends decided at 15 to take dance. We were the oldest at the dance school and by far the most uncoordinated. These little girls danced circles around us. I was also in Sea Cadets until i was 16. I was pretty darn cool.... 

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? umm. I think the only band I have seen more than once is Rise Against, and its only because they played at two different festivals I went to. 

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Mint GoWalk Sketchers

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Salted Caramel Gelato. Drooooooool. Was actually randomly recommended to me by the liquor store clerk. 

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? Well we are 44 days out from the wedding, so I am looking forward to just being done with all the planning! 

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? Back to our home province of Alberta to be closer to all our family and friends. So exciting I know. I just want to move back so bad! I hate being 8-12 hours away from all my family, inlaws, friends etc.

    Like @teddygirl9, I'm also avoiding work. I've got tons to do but no motivation.

    Because I don't feel like working...

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? I was in band, marching band, pit orchestra for the musicals, and National Honor Society. I was a huge dork in high school - still sort of am.

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? Death Cab for Cutie (3)

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? Basic black flats

    4. Favorite ice cream flavor? Right now, it's the Spectacular Speculoos cookie core flavor from Ben & Jerry's - caramel and vanilla ice creams with cookie bits and a cookie butter core. I'll also never turn down good ol' fashion chocolate or vanilla. 

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? Not much - there's a huge wine and beer festival going on in August that we go to every year, and we'll probably go on some picnics and little adventures but nothing big and exciting. Our first anniversary is in September and every hotel that I wanted to go to is booked for that weekend, so I'm bummed about that. 

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? I would live anywhere that has warm winters and allows me to see the water every morning when I wake up.

    @shessocold You're my idol both for the Stones and the high school experience. We would have been best friends. I did soccer and cheerleading in junior high and then once I reached high school I quit those so I could smoke a lot of pot hahahah. Everyone thought we were "preps" in student council but really we'd pick each other up for meetings and smoke on the way there.

    @lyndausvi mmmmm that DQ combo sounds so amazing

    @redheadbride15 Frigen sweet for wearing your wedding shoes! Picture?

    @maggie0829 I would also love to see JT, hope he comes around again.

    1. What sports/ clubs/ activities did you do in high school? Track & Field (Field really... discus and shotput), Soccer, Marching and concert band, FCS (Fellowship of Christian Students... I used to love me some Jesus), CSF (I forget totally what this stood for but it was for us dorky smart kids).  

    2. Which band/ artist have you seen live the most times? Tie between Jamie Cullum and Joe Nichols, both at 3.  Quite different really.

    3. What shoes are you currently wearing? My black patent ballet flats from Nine West that I wear all the time.

    5. What are you looking forward to in the next month? Ummm I guess just getting ready for the wedding?  Actually kind of not looking forward to that part LOL  

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? Probably a ranch in Idaho, Wyoming, or Montana.  FI is from Wyoming so probably there, but not where he's from, which is not very nice (SW corner)

    6. If you won the lottery where would you live? Somewhere warm but also close enough to come back home when needed.  So maybe the florida keys?  I think DH would have a totally different answer though!
