Pocket Full of Sunshine

A sweet little award is floating around the blog world, and not one but two ladies nominated me for the Sunshine Award!

From Trista from Stewart Street:
1. Open your music on your phone. What is the last song you listened to?
Don't laugh - Aqua, Barbie Girl. It was the last song played when I ran yesterday. Don't judge, it has a good beat!

2. Last adult beverage you drank?
Pinot Noir!

3. It's Saturday night and you are 16... where are you?
Probably with the softball team, playing a game.

4. Favorite actress?

Rachel McAdams 

5. Have you ever cheat on someone?

Not my proudest moment. 

6. Ever been cheated on?

Yep. 

7. First kiss, tell us about it.

I was in middle school, 7th grade maybe? A bunch of us were playing "spin the bottle" and I kissed Jason H.

8. First job you ever had?

My dad owns a radio station in a small town in Iowa. Around age 13 I went to work for him as a night time "DJ" (I use this term loosely). All I had to do was report the weather, a tiny bit of news, give the station identification (You're listening to XXXX...), and push the play button to run a CD program.

9. How old were you when you had your first alcoholic beverage?

Does church wine count? If so, then 9.

I have a few, and yep, I keep in touch with them all (Hi Amy! Hi Holly! Hi Trisha!)

From Erin from Homemade Happenings:
1. What makes you happy? A yummy dessert? A butterfly flying by? Finishing a good book?
I love finishing a good run. There's something about pushing myself to go fast, harder, longer. And, a good glass of wine at the end of a long day.

2. What song make you sing your heart out every time you hear it on the radio?
T.I. - You Can Have Whatever You Like

3. Do you have a full set of teeth, or did you have to have some pulled as a kid?

I don't know the name of the flavor, but the dark red one is my favorite!

5. Would you rather go a year without shaving your legs or your armpits?
HA! My legs, hands down.

6. What is your favorite kind of dressing for your salad?
Ranch, the REAL stuff.

7. What is your favorite app on your phone (or website if you don't have a smartphone) BESIDES those social media ones (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)?
Oh geez, time TimeHop app is fun, and I'm kind of obsessed with Candy Crush.
