I've been tagged!  The deal is to answers the questions below.  This will be fun  . . .


1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family?


I think it's pretty obvious from my blog that they're definitely members of our family.  We have two cats, Kea & Kloe, who are litter mates, though you never would know by looking at them 'cause they're opposites.  We also have two dogs, Bella & Brighton, and no- Bella was not named after Twilight.  They're our "fur babies".


2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?

I'd love to publish a book.  It's been my dream ever since I can remember.  Of course thanks to procrastination and a lack of self-confidence who knows if that will ever happen.  But that would exceptionally awesome if it did.


3. What is the one thing most hated by you?

I'm not so much a fan of constantly negative people.  That, and putting laundry away.  Oh, and taking out the trash.


4. what would you do with a billion dollars?

I would travel everywhere and see everything.  Well, not everything, let's not get crazy.  I'd start an animal rescue shelter that doesn't euthanize simply 'cause the animals aren't adopted.  Then I would probably don spandex and create a super hero alter ego.

5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood?

Golly, a bowl of ice cream goes a long way.  But I think just watching a comedy helps a lot.  Can't help but laugh, and it's difficult to be a curmudgeon when you're laughing.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

Really?  I have to choose one?  That doesn't work for me.  I choose both.  Yes, both.  We both know why so there's no need to really go into it..

7. What is your bedtime routine?

Wash my face, brush my teeth, take my contacts out.  In that order.  Plug in my phone, turn on the fan and then spend the next two hours trying to fall asleep.

8. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner?

We met through a mutual friend.  We became good friends for about a year, then started dating and dated for three years, was engaged for 9 months and then got hitched.

9. If you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be?

Vincent Van Gogh, I think.  I've always wondered how he created Starry Night.  It would be interesting to watch that being painted.

10. What kinds of books do you read?

I read all sorts of books, I don't really have a "kind" that I stick to the most.


11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?

I'm not one of those people with a "Plan". Though, hopefully with a home and a family.  I'd like to be a lot more free of debt, and have a little more freedom to do things that would make my family happy.

12. What’s your fear?

My biggest fear is finding someone in my house.  As in, someone that's not supposed to be there.  Particularly when I'm in the shower. I also can't stand spiders, and ants.  And pretty much any bug.

13. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to visit outer space?

Yes, I would.  That would be so amazing.  Sometimes when I'm swimming I pretend that I'm in space with no gravity. 

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor?

I've been pretty broke in my day and I always think at least I have Jordan, and as long as we're together we can get through anything.  So, does that answer your question? (Hint: the second option).


15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?

Hit snooze and then go back to sleep.  Then do that a couple more times.  I have a really hard time getting out of bed.  It's especially difficult when the animals are cuddling with me 'cause it's so comfy and I hate to disrupt them.

16. If you could change one thing about your spouse/partner what would it be?

He's got this fixation with Brighton's fur.  He tries to untangle his mats, but instead of brushing it out he'll pull it apart or stick his finger in it and pull up.  Of course it just hurts Brighton and pulls out his fur.  It makes me so angry, but Jordan just can't help himself.  I would gladly change that.

17. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?

I wouldn't.  I can't imagine myself anyone other than BreAnn.  I like it, and it seems to fit me.  I'm just Bre.

18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?

That's so general, it really depends on what the thing is.  I'm really good at forgiving and moving on, I'm less good at forgetting.  I think no- there are some things I definitely would not be forgiving anytime soon.  And there's a difference between forgiving and staying with him, and forgiving and leaving, for sure.

19. If you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be?

Wow, I'm not sure.  I think Cafe Rio.  I could eat that for every meal without getting sick of it for some time I think.

Ok, now I will tag my favorite sister Britney, and my sister-in-laws.  If you're a sis-in-law- consider yourself tagged.
