The questions I asked

I'm a firm believer in being willing to answer what you ask. So, when I had to come up with eight questions to ask my readers, after answering eight others, I felt like it would only be right to share my answers to the eight questions I asked.

1. What is your favorite fall tradition? (I know I kind of stole that one from Shannon, but I love hearing about 'em!)


In addition to my previous post, I like putting up my pumpkins and making treat bags and rice krispie treats. I also enjoy Christmas shopping. (I do most of it in October so I can enjoy my holidays. Or attempt to.)
2. Do you play games on Facebook? (Any Sorority Life fans out there?)

If you didn't already guess, yes, I play games on Facebook. The only one I play is Sorority Life. (Another shocker.) Loves it.

3. What's on your nightstand now?

Candles, a lamp, cell phones, eyeglasses, miscellaneous crap, and phenergen. No books :(

4. What song best describes your life now?

When I came up with this question, my answer was, "Broken" by Lifehouse. Maybe it still is, I'm just not so sad about it right now. Another song in the running would be "Keep on Trying" by Poco. I heard it on a "Bones" episode, looked up the lyrics, and realized The ex-Boyfriend needs an intervention.
5. What is the best way to find someone to date?

I need feedback on this. On the dating website, all these people are so adamant that meeting the love of your life in a bar is not for them, or taboo, or impossible. But what if bars are your heart and soul? It's only fitting ... And I also take a bit of offense to the assumption because The ex-Boyfriend and I met in a bar. We all know where that got me, but it was by no means a bad relationship. I might even to venture to say our relationship (romantic and otherwise) is the best one I have ever had, to date.

Also on the dating website, half of them can't spell and the other half won't give me the time of day. And no one has really seemed to be a good fit.
6. Do you dye your hair?

Yes. I've been dying it black off and on for ten years. I've gone reddish here and there, but I believe I was meant to have black hair. I feel a little more like me with a fresh raven dye. (Okay, that came out awkward. I just got sick of writing in a boring way.)

The problem I am facing is I will have to deal with gray hair or start going lighter (i.e. blonde highlights) to stretch out dye jobs. Nothing against blondes, I just don't feel like I was meant to be one. Any suggestions?
7. What quote or Bible verse gives you encouragement?

Also, I'm looking for some encouragement.

Recently, the Lord's Prayer, and Psalm 23 have been comforting for me. And John 3:16.
8. What is your favorite blog to read?

I love Kelly's Korner. Harper is so stinkin' cute, and Kelly provides so much encouragement. I don't know her personally, and I know people are always saying their blogs don't show everything, but this woman is such an inspiration and I feel like she really does care about everyone.

I also like to read my friends' blogs and see their cute little ones.

And I like to read the blogs of women who aren't married yet. It feels good to share the sense of community with each other.
