4. Frozen —> Trader Joe’s Potstickers

5. Dry goods —> Couscous!

I’m Cheating by Posting This….

11.11.07

I haven’t blogged in forever and now I’m posting a meme?!? That’s not fair!!! Yeah, I know…twitter has replaced my update-type blogging for the most part.

So here’s my post:
1. What is something you collect? Why?
Books. I just can’t get rid of them. This probably has to do with the fact that we’re both in education. Between the two of us, we have 4 shelves double-stacked.

2. If you could make one ice cream flavor, what would the ingredients be and what would be the name?
I’m pretty happy with Cookies and Cream….

3. What can’t you go a day without?
Brushing my teeth, sleep, water, and a little bit of alone time.

4. What position do you sleep in? *back, right side, left side, stomach…etc.?
On my side, but I eventually sleep on my stomach, I think.

5. What is your typical morning routine before work/school?
Wake up too late (6:15), bathroom, brush teeth, shower, dress, Justin makes breakfast & coffee, I dry my hair and put on makeup, grab my stuff and head out, hopefully to make it to school by 7:15 (usually by 7:20, though).
