11 Questions for Me from Alice

1. What’s your preferred morning “wake me up” beverage?

Most days it’s a Coke Zero because I’m too lazy to make coffee, even  when I have a Kuerig.  I also usually have a baby in my arms now so Coke Zero is easy

2. What’s your dream car?

Classic car would be a 66 GTO.  Modern car is an Acura RDX

3. If live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Can I pick two?  My personality if both outgoing and reclusive.  I would love a beach bungalow in the Bahamas or a stone cabin in the rolling hills of Ireland

4. If you could have an accent, where would it be from?

I like Irish accents.  They are damn sexy

5. Do you have a fashion style? If so, do tell.

My current fashion style is new mom.  Yoga pants and tshirts.  When I’m working it’s uniform chic.  I have styles that I like but since I wear uniforms daily it’s hard to justify buying clothes that I will only wear for a couple of hours or on my weekends.

6.  What’s you favorite flower or plant? Why?

My favorite flower is a Stargazer Lily.  Don’t know why, just think they look and smell amazing

7.  Which do you like best Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer? Why?

Since moving to AZ I love Spring.  The temps are perfect for doing anything and everything outside.  Windows are open and everything just smells good

8. What’s your favorite sport or hobby that you actively participate in? Why do you love it?

I miss playing roller derby so much that I am considering a return.  I like it because it’s a sport that is physically tough but also requires you to be mentally sharp.  I also enjoy running and hiking because they are things I can do on my own or with someone else

9. When it comes to you house, are you neat clean freak or a hot mess?

I’m a freaky hot clean mess.  Certain areas of the house I don’t give a flying eff about.  Others I am overly OCD about

10. Are you a health nut or a fast food junky?

Have you seen my ass?  Fast Food Junky

11. How do you prefer to spend family time?

Right now Brody is still so tiny so family time is all three of us hanging on the couch watching TV is best or snuggled up in bed
