I received two tags this week, one from the always-inspiring Rhiannon at Liebe Marlene and the other from the lovely Charlotte at Like Whoaah. The tag involves answering 22 random questions and then tagging 8 more bloggers! I've already seen this things going around to a bunch of people, so I'm sorry in advance if I tag anyone who has already been tagged!
1. What is your current obsession?
2. What is your weirdest obsession?
I'm not sure! I guess to some people it might seem weird that I am obsessed with the tv show Reba. I've come to consider all its characters my friends, and I miss them if I don't watch the show at least once a week. I suppose that is kind of weird!
3. What do you see outside your window?
My window faces the street so usually I can see the old man who lives across from me sitting out on his stoop in a bathrobe drinking coffee...but I'm also facing a really pretty duplex which was built in the 1850's and never altered! It's white with turquoise window panes!
4. What is your favourite color?
My favourite color changes depending on my mood, but I'd say right now it's a tie between an old Venetian pink or some shade of Teal.
5. What is your weakness?
Old couples! I just can't walk past one without imagining their story and getting all romantic and silly.
6. What animal would you be?
I'd like to think I'd be my puppy dog, Lola, but truth be told she is just way more social than I ever will be and I think I'd probably choose to be a little bird so I could fly all over the place and observe people from a distance.
7. What would you like to learn how to do?
I'd definitely like to learn to play the ukulele so Hank could become more than an accessory...but I've also developed an interest in tap dancing and quilting!
8. What do you want to never happen in life?
I definitely don't like the idea of losing my marbles as I get older...but I also don't like the idea of running into a moose on the side of the highway!
9. What is on your bedside table?
I just got rid of my bedside table, but when I still had one, I had an alarm clock, a lamp and a vase with some flowers in it.
10. What's the last thing you bought?
I just came home from thrifting a very pretty yellow and white dress that I'm hoping is fancy enough for the wedding I've been invited to this July! I'm sure I'll be posting pictures eventually!
11. What do you think about the person who tagged you?
Rhiannon seems to me to be one of the most down to earth ladies there is, which is impressive as she is a mild celebrity in the vintage blogging community! It's thanks to her sweet and encouraging comments that I decided to give my blog a direction and start my Etsy shop!
12. What was your favourite children's book?
I don't know that I can choose! I remember there was one about a slow poke mouse whose sister was always telling him to hurry up...but then he beat her to his Grandma's house and got to eat more cake than her. I don't remember what it was called, but I remember that the sister wore her hat upside down and I thought she had a pretty dress!
13. Who do you want to meet in person?
This may seem silly, but I'm going to have to agree with what Aya wrote as her answer to this and say, that right now I'd be overjoyed to meet some of the lovely ladies who make up the vintage blogging community. I'm not someone who has that many "real life" friends, and sometimes I just feel I have more of an affinity with my "internet" friends!
14. What did you want to be as a child?
I was one of the millions who dreamed of being a glamorous Hollywood actress. I used to rehearse scenes from Gone With the Wind alone in my bedroom and pretend to faint all the time when nobody was looking! I've since become someone who prefers simplicity and am working towards a teaching degree so I can have a little house in a little town and teach at a little school.
15. What did you dream about last night?
All my dreams recently have been about getting in trouble for cheating scary mafioso men out of large sums of money and then trying to hide from them as they send their goons after me! Last night's episode involved a jacket with 700 000$ cash in the pocket (I don't know how it all fit in the pocket...) which Mike and I took and then had to hide from the scary mobster man who came to claim his jacket!
16. Which to you prefer, day or night?
My favourite time of day is the really early morning, when birds are extra chirpy and there aren't any cars or traffic and the light is just right and you feel like you have the whole day ahead of you!
17. What's your favourite piece of clothing in your closet?
I wake up every morning and gaze longingly at the little sailor playsuit I bought from miss Sally Jane Vintage not too long ago. It's taking all the self control I have to wait until the summer to debut this little gem!
18. What's your plan for tomorrow?
Tomorrow I am going to see Elton John and Billy Joel perform with a whole slew of family!
19. What would you like to get your hands on right now?
A clone of myself who could get all my work and school related stuff done for me and I could spend the next 4 weeks with my Grandma, sewing up simple cotton outfits and baking delicious pies!
20. What is your must-have of the moment?
I'm on the lookout for the perfect pair of glasses. I really liked those Riley's by Oliver Peoples, but on my hunt for a similar vintage, or at least, cheaper pair, I realized that that shape doesn't suit my face. Now I'm desperately trying to find something original so I don't settle on the plastic square frames that every single other person in Montreal is wearing!
21. What's your favourite tea flavour?
Irish Breakfast!
22. If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would you go?
Although there are a million places I'm dying to explore, I've got my summer road trip on the brain and all I can think about is rowing a little boat through some of those marshy forests like in the Notebook, and picnicking under Spanish moss!
