1. What’s your favorite color to paint your nails?
I am really, really bad at remembering to paint my nails. I should just fork over the money for a pedicure once a month, but I never seem to get around to it. Right now, they’re red and I don’t really have a favorite color. Whatever catches me eye, really!

2. Do you like to sneeze?
No! No, no, no, no, no! I avoid it at all costs, which I know is horrible for you. I hold all my sneezes in when I’m in public, unless I have a tissue. I don’t have a cute sneeze and always have tons of snot. I’m awkward enough as it is without having to deal with my snot-nose.

(Although, when I have a stuffy nose, sneezing feels like heaven!)

3. How often do you fill up your car with gas?
It gets filled up twice a week, once by me and once by my mom.

4. Were you named after anyone?
Nope.

5. Have you made any good recipes lately?
I made these awesome snickerdoodle cookies for my sister-in-law for Christmas. She liked them so much, she requested me to make more for her New Year’s Eve party! Oh, and last night, I made Hungry Girl’s turkey chili which is so good. And makes enough leftovers to last at least a week!

6. What’s an easy money-saving tip that you use regularly?
I try to use the “Come Back Later” rule to stop impulsive purchases. If I see something I want, I make myself wait at least 3 days before buying it. If I still want it as badly as I did 3 days ago, then I can buy it. But I usually find that I didn’t really need it as badly as I first thought.

7. Would you rather have a sore throat or an earache?
Probably a sore throat. They can be annoying but pain falls on maybe a 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10. When I was little, I got earache’s all the time, although I haven’t gotten any in recent memory. Still, I can’t imagine they would be pleasant. With the 5+ sore throats I got last year, I’m a pro at handling them.

8. Do you have any scars? What are they from?
I have a small, barely recognizeable scare on the inside of my thumb from when I had stitches in September. And I have a scar on my belly where a dog bit me when I was in 5th grade. But that’s about it!

9. What are you “known for” in your circle of friends/family?
Probably my intense love for football and my writing. I want to say my humor, but it may just be me who thinks I’m funny. ;)

10. How do you like to eat your pancakes?
Can I admit that I’m not a big fan of pancakes. I’m really not a big breakfast fan, period. When I do eat them, usually plain with no butter and lots of syrup. Sometimes, with chocolate chips. Mmm…chocolate chip pancakes! I cringe to know what the PointsPlus value of those would be!

Don’t forget to enter my giveaway - a $55 gift card to CSN Stores! Giveaway closes at 7pm on Sunday.

  1. I wish I was better at holding in my sneezes.. LOL. They always end up being really loud and awkward but it's such a relief after! Also, OH MY GOODNESS you don't like breakfast?! I'm pretty sure on some of my laziest days I've had 3 meals on a variation of breakfast haha.

    Lastly, is it possible to enter your giveaway from Canada?! I've never heard of that company name before...

  2. Breakfast for dinner is one of my all time favorite things. I'm not a morning person and other than a banana I dont really make time for breakfast. Having it for dinner is a nice way to change things up.

  5. I don't like pancakes, or breakfast food really for that matter, either! I get so mad on Sundays when all Williams serves in the dining hall is breakfast food at brunch. They're totally leaving out the "unch"!

  6. Yes, definitely with you on coming back to big purchases. I also refrain from leaving the office for lunch as much as possible; that means no trips to Target which has a guaranteed $20 cover charge if you will ;-) That helps on the money saving. And bringing my lunch to work each day!

  7. I need to adopt your "come back later" rule! I'm soooo bad at impulsive purchases!

  8. I am totally a breakfast person.... the German breakfast, though. No eggs, pancakes, bacon and hashbrowns... I like some fresh rolls with cheese and deli meats, jam, croissants and the like :)

  9. Ooh pancakes are my favorite. You just haven't had the right pancakes yet I promise :) Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! ( I am sure you have heard that a million times )

    I hate sneezing in public too. Especially if I am in a class.

    I'm going to go make some snickerdoodles :)

  10. I'd sooo rather have a ear ache over a sore throat. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate...did I mention hate? Sore throats.
    Not a breakfast fan either, but I like me some pancakes every once in a while. :)

  11. I love red nails :) Especially deep, dark red to almost black color.

    Yes, stopping impulse buying is essential!!

  12. I'm anti-pancake too! I love waffles, but pancakes just don't do it for me.

  13. I feel your intense love of football through Twitter! Thanks for the hook-up, I'll be doing a product review soon!

  14. Ohhh, I forgot about chocolate chip pancakes! I think they're still second-favorite to plain ones with syrup, but they are DELICIOUS. Also, I never actually eat pancakes for breakfast anymore (my tummy doesn't like too much food too early), but they make an awesome dessert or late-night snack.

  17. How fun!!! :D

    I used to not be breakfast person, but since starting my blog, I LOVE breakfast!!! :D

  18. LOL! Who "likes to sneeze"!? What an odd question! :P

    I don't paint my nails very often either, and when I do, it's usually clear. I am decidedly unexciting.

  19. I love snickerdoodles! They are the best cookies.....yum.

    I totally use the "Come back for it later" rule...but usually, I always go back for it. ***palm on my face***
