    -Are you done shopping for the holidays? Yes, thank god.

    -Do you like to clean?  If so what is your favorite thing to clean and what product do you use to clean it? No I don't, but I like a clean house. I LOVE it when I'm all done with cleaning, especially when the toilet/sinks are clean!

    -1 random fact about you. I hate bacon

    -PIP your latest wedding obsession! Bouquets! I have it on the other thread but here it is!



    ETA, for some reason, i thought the weather question was asking about our typical weather, but actually its 25 and foggy here. The trees are beautiful- frost all over!

  • -What is your most wanted item on your xmas, Hanukkah, holiday list?   I really need a new blow dryer!!  So, I'm hoping I get that!!

    -Are you done shopping for the holidays?  1 more person and we're done!!  FI's lil bro wants the new red hot chili peppers album!
    -Do you like to clean?  If so what is your favorite thing to clean and what product do you use to clean it?  Yes, I like to clean for the most part...I love Lysol 4-in-1 foaming cleaner!  awesome for the shower!
    -What is the weather like where you live?  It is gloomy and windy in FL...
    -1 random fact about you.  I don't share drinks with people...even if I really want to try a drink, I won't drink out of it unless it is FI...

  • -What is your most wanted item on your xmas, Hanukkah, holiday list? 
    I want an electric can opener. I am so freakin' tired of fighting with our 1952 busted can opener to open anything that doesn't have a pull-tab. Grr!

    -What is the latest book that you read (or are reading)?
    I'm reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" right now. I am trying to finish it before the movie comes out. It's def. a page-turner.

    -Are you done shopping for the holidays?
    Almost. I have a few small things to buy still.

    -Do you like to clean?  If so what is your favorite thing to clean and what product do you use to clean it?
    I don't like to clean - but If I had to pick something - I guess the carpet. It just really feels like it paid off in the end and looks a world different!

    -What is the weather like where you live?
    Sunny and about forty today.

    -1 random fact about you.
    I am the definition of clumsy. My nickname growing up was "Grace" because I was (and still am) the total opposite. I can't make it through cooking a meal without dropping at least half the ingredients/equipment on the floor. For example - I am baking cookies - well I now have a flour mess on the floor (along with the mixer - which I dropped)

    FI banned me from the kitchen because I burned myself with boiling water last week - but I still sneak in ;)

    -PIP your latest wedding obsession!
    I don't have one right now :o) - but I suppose dresses might be close.

    -1 random fact about you.
    I'm really scared of cancer. For some reason, part of me is convinced I will one day get some form of cancer. And then I worry that by thinking of cancer, I am somehow willing my body to develop cancer. These thoughts don't overwhelm me or affect my everyday life, they just pop up every time I have a weird symptom.
    -PIP your latest wedding obsession!
    I haven't done anything wedding related lately, but the most recent thing I've been considering is flower girl outfits. I might have my FMIL make something like this, but in turquoise or green and a white shirt
