What is your absolute favourite pair of shoes (and take a picture--when you get the camera on Wednesday!!)? Hmm. Tough one. I think it would have to be the ones I wore in my brother's wedding as a bridesmaid. His wife let us pick out the shoes we wanted, so that was nice! They've got about a 2-inch thin heel and are a thong sandal in the front. They're a camal-like color and the straps that go along my foot are a suedish type material. They're really quite cute! Pic for Wednesday for sure!

What is your favourite thing about living in Florida?/your least favourite? Ohhh boy. This is a tough one!! There's so many things I love about Florida, but I guess I would have to say our beaches. I love being there. It smells amazing, the sound and looks of it are beautiful, you get a great tan almost year round, and it's just very relaxing. As far as my least favorite is concerned, that's easy! BUGS!!!! Living in Florida, bugs kind of come with the territory and I can't stand them!
What is the most disgusting thing you've ever eaten? Portabello mushroom.

I HATE them!!!!

What is Waffle's favourite thing to play with? My hair ties! Of course I monitor her when she's playing with them and toss them as soon as they start to fray, but she just loves them! She absolutely adores playing fetch with them and will jump SO high in the air to catch them. Often she manages to bat them back to me, making me think she'd make an excellent volleyball player!

What are her favourite treats?/food? Her favorite treats are the Pounce moist kind, but she doesn't get those anymore. I've just been giving her Trim Treats instead and she seems to love those as well. As far as cat food goes, I haven't found one she didn't like!

Did you have kitties when you were growing up? Yes! When I was born there was actually already a kitty living in the house. My brother is 8 years older than me and so Pussywillow (he named her after the flower at the age of 3 I think) was his cat. She lived to be 22 years old!!! When I was 8 my brother brought in a stray from outside of my dad's shop. We ended up keeping him and my brother named him Oliver. Unfortunately he suffered an untimely death and was unable to have a complete life.

We also had a Shetland Sheepdog that we got when I was 5!

Are you afraid of anything? Oh yeah! I'm terrified of bugs and spiders!! I'm not scared of them because I think they might harm me. In fact, if I wake up with a bug or spider bite it doesn't bother me at all! They terrify me because they are SO disgusting!!! Obviously this is one major phobia since it's a completely irrational fear! I'm also afraid of heights when there are no railings or when I look down, but other than that I'm ok with them. Those are my main fears.

Where all have you travelled?/Which place was your favourite? I've been to New York City, all over the rest of New York, Pennsylvania (Hershey is a lot of fun for a kid), Washington D.C., Asheville (North Carolina), Savannah, Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Texas (can't remember what city), and all over Florida including the Keys. As far as outside of the US goes I've been to St. Thomas, St. Martin, and Nassau. In October I'll be going to Grand Caymen and Ocho Rios, Jamaica!!! As far as appearance goes I would have to say that St. Martin was my favorite. It's incredibly beautiful. If I was going on experience though, I would have no idea. I can tell you that I wasn't fond of Texas or California though. I love to travel and really hope to be able to do a lot of it as I get older (if I can afford it)!


That's all for now... I'll be back!!

YAY! Those were great!!!

If so please describe everything IN YOUR ROOM, from bed, to bedsheets, to wall colour, to stickers on the wall ect.. Yes I do! My parents still live in the house I grew up in and my room is virtually untouched since I left for college. It can cream walls, a bamboo blind, and leopard print curtains. My bed is still the same twin bed I had when I was 2 and it used to be a canopy bed but I took the canopy off when I was about 12. Now it looks like a 4 poster bed with mosquito netting hung above the top of it. My sheets and night stand have leopard print on them. There's a corkboard hung above my desk that has ribbons won from dance camps I attended in high school, some cards Brendan sent me when we were first dating, a newspaper clipping of the Sunsations (the dance team I was on in high school), two Sunsations team pictures, and a pin that says "Let's Go! Seabreeze" (my high school). Hung next to my bed is the "funny" class picture taken my senior year in the gym. My graduation tassel is also there as well as a straight A plaque and a senior recognition plaque for Sunsations. There's a picture frame that my friend Joy gave me with our senior pics in it as well as a nice saying. Also hung on my wall is the picture and backstage pass from when Joy and I met 98degrees when we were 16. There's 5 Sunsations pictures (1 regular team pic, 1 state competition pic, and 3 national competition pics) and my gold medal for winning nationals my senior year. There's also some ballet items laying around. My god that's a long description but you wanted the details!

What do you have in your car? any keychains? a smelly tree? or do youspray your cat with perfume? There's a fish thing that hangs from my rearview mirror that my brother gave me when I first started driving. I'm a pisces so that's why I keep that there. I have about 3 umbrellas in there, a couple of sweaters, my CD case, aerobics cds for when I teach, and some receipts that need to be trashed. I think that's all that's in my car. Nothing right now to make my car smell good. I have keychains on my car keys...one is a sun that I've had since high school that used to flash different colors, a little silver thing with a stick figure of a girl on it that says "Katherine" underneath, and a big flip-flop keychain.

Do you like plants? if so do you have any indoor plants? I love plants! I don't have any indoor plants unfortunately. I was just talking about wanting a plant the other day though.

What litter box does waffle have? do you get amazed at how much she can poop?? It's a big blue one with an extra gray ridge that you attach to the top so she doesn't track as much litter everywhere. I'm actually more surprised that Waffle doesn't poop more!! She's not a big pooper I'm afraid!

Whew! Those were a relief after that last set Fwan!!!!!

1- what is the worst nightmare you ever had.... if you can remember? Oh I definitely remember. A week or so after 9/11 happened I had a dream that I was with 2 other people (a guy and a girl) and we were running away from these men dressed in black with guns. We were in what looked like a warehouse and we were running away from them up stairs and ended up in some small room. The guy sat on a chair and the girl and I were standing. For some reason the girl lit the guys head on fire. She then sat down on a bench behind the chair the guy was sitting in. I started screaming and yelling, asking her why she would do that. She just told me to relax and sit down. I kept screaming and panicking, sat down next to her yelling at her to put him out, when suddenly his head exploded. Pieces flew everywhere and one landed on my lap. The girl next to me started laughing and I started screaming and got up to run. That's when I woke up. When I woke up I was sitting straight up in bed, sweating and hyperventilating. It disturbed me for a long time after too.

2- say you have been walking down the busiest street with a wedgie for the last half hour, and you just cant take it anymore, do you pick it out there and then? Definitely. I'd try to do it in a small, quick motion but it would definitely need to go.

3- have you ever given anyone a wedgie, if so who??

Yes. I can remember giving my friend down the street one when we were young. I think I've also given Brendan one!

4- when was your first kiss, and who with? My first real kiss was when I was 14. I was at the boardwalk with my boyfriend and another friend. Boyfriend and I went in a flight simulator and the next thing I know he's undoing his seatbelt and basically lunging at me!

His name was Chad. Definitely not high on the "smooth" scale!!

Fun questions!!!

1. Do you get "ice cream headache" (also called brain freeze)? I've actually never gotten a brain freeze before. When I was younger adn would drink slurpees I'd actually try to get one because I wanted to know what my friends were always fussing about.

Weird kid, I know!

2. Do you think Angelina Jolie is a little homewreckin' hussy?? Oh yeah I do. To be honest I've never liked her and Jennifer Aniston is one of my favorite celebrities, so Angelina just put herself even deeper in my book. Of course, Brad's spot went down a few notches as well!

At the same time, I can't even believe I care!

3. If I were in Orlando for one day and we were gonna hang out, what would we do for the day? Oooh ok, fun. Let's see...I think for starters we would get a Chik-Fil-A breakfast

. Then I would gather any friends I could and we would all go to Wet N Wild (the waterpark, not a strip club...though it sounds like it

)for the day! After spending a good portion of the day there we'd leave, go back to my place to shower and change and head out to dinner. I'd take you to Cafe TuTu Tango. It's awesome. Inside there's tons of art by local artists and often an artist in there working. The menu is filled with appetizers and the drink menu is on one of those viewfinder toys that kids always use. It's a great place with a really fun atmosphere! When we were done there I'd take you to my favorite college bar, The Liquid Cellar, and we'd waste the night away in there listening to the live music, playing pool, and having a good time! It would be such a blast, so when shall we plan this for? lol

4. If you're in the ocean swimming and you really really have to pee but don't feel like getting out and walking all the way to the bathrooms, do you just pee in the water??
Oh I have no problem peeing in the ocean!!

I just make sure that I'm far enough away from anyone else I happen to be in the water with and let it loose. Then tell everyone I just took a pee over there and to stay away!
5. What type of music do you listen to? Name a few specific artists. I like almost everything except the majority of country and heavy metal. I've been listening to Green Day, O.A.R., Modest Mouse, and Janet Jackson the most recently. I really like pop and rock oldies as well.

6. When you're out clubbin', what song do you have to get up and dance to everytime it comes on? I have to dance to "Get Low," as trashy as that song is I just can't help myself. That's when the real booty shakin' happens!

Thanks Kelly! Fun questions as usual!!!!

what was the most embarrasing thing you did as a kid?
This took me a while to come up with but I finally remembered something! This was when I was younger than 8 years. I was taking dance at a place called Southern Dance Inc. We had a recital coming up and were doing a run through at the studio so all of us little girls were sitting down, lined up against a wall. Well, I farted on accident and it didn't make any noise but it smelled. The other girls started talking about it and managed to figure out that it was me. I was so embarrassed that I wanted to just disappear!!

Have you ever pee'd your pants laughing

, or come close

I've come close many, many times. When I get laughing I just can't stop. I haven't full on peed my pants, but probably a teeny tiny bit.

what your fav ale drink? Well I don't like beer or anything like that. My favorite alcoholic drink is a margarita. Tequila is SO easy to drink!

Some of those were tough!!!!

1. Do you have any favorite, weird food combos?? Hmm...you know I don't think so. I'm picky about my foods not getting mixed together when there's a bunch of different things on a plate so I'm not one to put things together too often!
2. Do you care which direction the toilet paper goes on the roller(over or under)? Actually I do. The loose sheet has to be over. It drives me nuts when it's under and I'll always change it!

3. Name one gross habit? I have to pop any random zits that decide to present themselves somewhere on my body. I have Brendan to thank for this habit.

He's always asking if HE can pop them. YUCK.
4. How often do you shave(legs, arms, face..j/k

)? I think I shave my legs twice a week. Same goes for my bikini line. No shaving my arms and I'm hoping I don't have to shave my face anytime soon!!!

5. Do you bite your fingernails/toenails? Occassionally I bit my fingernails and I'll pick at my toenails. I try to restrain myself as much as I can though!
6. Have you ever or do you wear clothes more than one day in a row? Definitely. Sometimes if I put an outfit on late in the day I'll wear the same outfit the next day!

I often wear jeans over and over before I wash them.
7. Name an odd tv show you watch. I like Unwrapped on the Food Network a whole lot and am totally obsessed with America's Next Top Model!!!!
8. If you have food in your teeth/bad breath/big eye boogers...etc...

c. pull me aside and tell me

9. If you are draining pasta in the sink and a some falls out, do you...

b. wash it down the sink and forget about it
10. Do you always wash your hands after using the bathroom? Not always. I'd say I do 3/4s of the time. I always do it if I used a public restroom though!!

What was your first cat's name? Her name was Pussywillow. My brother named her because he thought she looked like the flower.

When did you get him? My family got her before I was born actually! I think that my brother was 3 or 4 when they got her, and he's 8 years older than me! She lived to be 22 years old!!!

What is your favorite food? That's a tough one!! I'm such a lover of good food that this is really a challenge for me! I would have to say Canaloni is my favorite. It's an italian dish that takes about 3 hours just to be prepare! It has chicken, spinach, various cheeses, and a few sauces all wrapped in a manicotti like shell. It's SO yum!

Sorry if any of these hav already been asked.

I'm working on more Qs for you, but my mind isn't exactly functioning at top level today....
