Getting to know you

So after browsing through some blogs I stumbled upon this blog (http://www.mannland5.com) that does a weekly post called getting to know you. I thought what a great idea to post questions, answer them, and have followers answer them to be able to get to know each other a little bit better. So I picked a few questions to answer and would love it if you all would spend some time answering them.

The questions:

1. What year did you graduate high school?
2008

2. Beach house or lake house?
I would have to say beach house. There is something about waking up looking out the window and seeing the waves crash against the beach.

3. Mac or PC?
I have a pc but I have to admit that I really want a mac book. The I-pad is coming out soon and I may just have to pick myself up one.

4. Did you wear braces?
Yes I did for about 6 months and hated them!

5. Would you rather cook or clean?
This is a hard one for me because it depends. I love cooking for a crowd but hate cooking just for myself. I also love the feeling of a clean house (partly because I am a little OCD when it comes to being tidy) but I don't know how much I really enjoy the cleaning part.

6. Which do you prefer... wordy blog posts or ones with pictures?
I prefer both, I love a good post with pictures that match whatever they are talking about.

7. Showers or baths?
I shower every morning, but if I am in the mood to relax then definitely a bubble bath with candles and a good book.

8. Whats one blog you read every day?
Silly mom thoughts- blog.lindsaymaddox.com

  2. Welcome back Katie. Been wondering how you are doing.

    1. 1990 (yes I am old)
    2. Beach - much like you, love to watch the waves and hear them.
    3. PC because I have never tried a MAC
    4. Yup but only during the summer
    5. Cook hands down! Hate cleaning. I'm a slob at heart.
    6. To write- pics are good when I don't have much to say. To read I like wordy.
    7. Both, but usually baths
    8. Too many to list. I have so many saved in my google reader, if I miss a day I fall way behind.

    2. Beach (where the salmon run)
    3. PC
    4. Nope. It was in the plan but never happened.
    5. Cook.
    6. Wordy. I'd rather read it, but some pictures are good.
    7. Showers. Last bath in 2005 or so.
    8. Only yours.

  4. The questions:

    1. What year did you graduate high school?
    2009

    2. Beach house or lake house?
    I live about half a mile from the beach, but it took me until I left for college to appreciate it and love it that much. I'd say beach house, even though I'm not a huge beach fan.

    3. Mac or PC?
    I was a PC until last July when I ordered a MacBook Pro under the guise that I needed something to last me a long time. My mom got a Dell in September and has already sent it in for repairs, while mine runs like it's brand new. I don't think I'll ever go back to PC after owning this baby!

    4. Did you wear braces?
    From 5th to... 6th grade, i think. I hated it, but I now I wish I had kept up with my retainer... damn hindsight!

    5. Would you rather cook or clean?
    It depends. I clean to distract myself, and I cook to show off. (I'm being honest). I can't work with my side of the dorm room messy, so I tidy it every day. At home I love to cook, but here it's too much of a hassle.

    6. Which do you prefer... wordy blog posts or ones with pictures?
    I love pictures that show or mean something, but after a while if I haven't posted a wordy blog I feel like I'm slacking. I'm a writer by nature, and I use my blog as a release. I really love both.

    7. Showers or baths?
    I shower, but if I have cramps or something a nice warm bath takes them right away, and relaxes me completely :)

    8. Whats one blog you read every day?
    Wonders Never Cease - http://wncboat.blogspot.com/
    PostSecret.com as well (if you count that as a blog) as well as this one. There are others, but they don't update as often, so I don't technically 'read' them everyday.

    2. Beach - especially when the salmon run. A lake would be great too.
    3. PC
    4. No braces. It was recommended but never happened.
    5. Cook, even though I am not too good at it.
    6. Wordy blogs with a few pictures.
    7. Showers. My last bath was around 2005.
    8. Only yours.

    2. Toughie! I'd say lake, except for all the bugs... I'm leaning toward beach house, though. Tides, the smell of the ocean, the waves... Yeah.

    3. I have always had a PC, but I lurve me some MAC. Really, anything Apple is superior, I think.

    4. Nope, never!

    5. Same as you! Though, I think cleaning is much more relaxing and, being the klutz I am, I'm less likely to burn myself. ;)

    6. So long as the blog has a good flow and keeps my interest, it doesn't matter to me!

    7. Showers for cleaning, baths for relaxing.

    8. I actually don't have any that I read every day... Oh wait, that's a lie. CakeWrecks (http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com) (And PS, awwww, thanks for reading my blog!!)
