1. What is your favorite quote ?
hmm that a hard one, but one of my newest favorites is
 "Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see".  CS Lewis 


 2. Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets ?
Their both so stunning, but I guess I would have to say sunsets, the colors that are cast from the setting sun, golds reds purples, it always takes my breath away, and if I think about it my sunset is someone else's sunrise in another part of the world. 

 3. What's your favorite dessert ?
oh gosh I have to choose one ? let see something with chocolate or a homemade pie or tart 
I love to bake and experiment so this is a hard one for me it might be one I haven't tried yet

 4. do you have a favorite subject in school ?
History definitely, I love learning about others and how they lived 

5. Did you have snow on christmas day ?
No we haven't had much snow this winter which is weird 

 6. Do you have a favorite Jane Austin book/movie adaption ?
I love all the jane austin movies, pride and prejudice 2005 is a favorite, But my favorite two Austin novels are Northanger Abbey, and Mansfield Park, both the Tv movies were great my sisters and I enjoyed watching them, but I can't wait to see the film adaptions I'm hoping they will make.


 7. Do you prefer patterned socks, solid colored socks, or bare feet ?
I don't have a preference really, I like all of them,  patterned socks are fun, solid colored socks are for everyday and bare feet are for summer. 


 8.  Do you make your bed every morning ?
I must confess not every morning, but when I remember to I will or if I have the time. 


 9. What color is your bedroom wall ?
I have offsetting colors two pink two blue and light green trim, I share a room with my younger brother so we compromised, which isn't that much of a compromise because I love blue also.

 10. What are your top five favorite colors
I have already addressed on a different post that I am completely unbiased toward colors, I refuse to have a favorite, like I have said just imagine a world with that particular color it would be quite boring, I love all colors there shades, pastels, and bright freshness. 

 11. Do you prefer sandals, sneakers, boots, or high heels
 Oh don't get me started on shoes ! all the above ? is that an answer, I love sandals, and sneakers like high tops I dream of leather high tops :) I adore boots, and I love high heels. what can I say I'm a shoe- a-holic.

Exciting Blog Events !!!

I'm sitting here and my mind is drawing a blank, staring at the computer screen working my brain to remember the things I thought of posting here, why is it all the great ideas are easily forgotten ? Does anyone else have this problem ? and if you do, what do you do to remember the things you come up with in the middle of the night when your too tired or half asleep to turn on a light and write yourself a note, sometimes I think I forget to remember or maybe all those stories are filling my brain and leaving scant room for other things, who knows but dear memory please do try a bit harder wont you ? for me for you for some semblance of sanity in the free moments that I'm not trying to remember something that seems erased from my memory. Enough of that, sorry about the slight rant next time I'll keep the words between my brain and I to myself,  moving on,
