One of my
favorite podcasts is Jamie Ivey’s Happy Half Hour where she interviews a guest
for a half an hour. I don’t usually know who the guests are, but I find her questions
fascinating and enjoy hearing the answers. Today I thought it would be fun to
play along and answer some of her questions. Please feel free to play along in
the comments!
What book/movie/show are you
currently telling everyone about?
James
Patterson books. I cannot put them down. I have read two and I read both in
less than two days. I just love a good suspense thriller and he delivers every
time. Next up is the first of his Alex Cross series and I am already so
excited. My library has so many of his books and I’m really excited to work my
way through them. How did I go so long without knowing about him?!
I have
been on a streak of bad movies lately so I’ll tell you about two shows I’m
currently obsessed with and raving about to anyone who will listen. The first
is Parks and Recreation. It’s an
oldie, but a goodie. G and I used to watch it and then stopped for some reason.
Well now that it is all on Netflix we picked it up again and we forgot how
funny this show is. We laugh so hard and that is my favorite. We are only in
season 3 but I don’t remember any of it so I am loving it. I want to BE Leslie
Knope.
Secondly,
I’m really into Pretty Little Liars.
I was in a lull and didn’t have a show to watch and I heard so much about PLL
that I thought I would give it a shot. I did not expect to love it as much as I
do. I cannot stop watching. I’m already almost done with season 2. I love the
characters. The fashion. The music. The storylines. So interesting! I feel a little old
watching a show where the main characters are in high school but I got past it.
What is your pet peeve?
Mean
people. It’s so much easier to be kind. Why be mean? Condescending? Rude? What’s
the point of it? Be nice!
What childhood dream did you have
that never happened?
I dreamed
of growing up and moving to NYC. I wanted to live in the Big Apple so bad when
I was younger. I don’t even know what sparked it. Probably something I watched
on television. I had never even been to NYC so I had blind faith I would love
it, ha! I did end up going to New York a couple months after G and I got
married. It was crowded. Loud. Busy. I remember we were at a red light and
someone walked across the street and yelled at us “MOVE!” We were at a red
light! I realized then and there I am not a big city girl and we now live in a
quiet, country suburb and I would not have it any other way.
What quick, easy meal are you
enjoying lately?
Chicken
Tacos. It is literally the easiest thing ever. I throw frozen chicken, a jar of
Aldi salsa, and a bit of low sodium Chicken Broth to cover the chicken into the
crock pot. I set the crock pot on low for 9 hours. I come home to a house
smelling amazing and I shred the chicken and serve on a soft tortilla. Easy,
peasy! It’s simple, delicious and versatile. Sometimes with the leftovers I’ll
heat up the chicken and cook up some rice, throw in black beans and corn and
make a burrito bowl.
When you think about your best
friends, what qualities do they have?
They don’t
judge. They love me for me. They challenge me by asking insightful questions
when I’m trying to make decisions. I joke I never need a therapist because Kate
is my therapist. She is analytical by nature and digs deep to get to the root
of what I need to do. I love processing things with her!
They hold
me accountable. Make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts. Help me be a better
person. They get me.
They know
me. There is no better feeling than being known. I was recently at Kate’s house
for a party. Someone asked what my dad will do after he retires and Kate chimed
in about how he loves nature, birds, teaching, and studying the Bible. She knows
me (and my family!) so well.
Now it’s
your turn. Answer a few of the questions in the comments so I can get to know
you better. Cheers!
