My friend Andrea tagged me on her post that is making the rounds all along the blogosphere.
A. Attached or Single? My husband never wants to leave my side, so yeah, attached.
B. Best Friend? See above.
C. Cake or pie? Ice-cream cake
D. Day of choice? Thursdays have always been big party nights (Thursday Night Drinking Club or TNDC in grad school, now called Liquidity Preference Function)
E. Essential Item? Tempurpedic bed
F. Favorite color? Baby pink or rose gold if we’re talking jewelry!
G. Gummy bears or worms? Neither

Q. Quotes? Anything by Ayn Rand: The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, the Romantic Manifesto. She is genius.
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.”

June 19, 2013 at 2:17 pmDana, I was surprised I hadn’t seen one from you yet!

June 18, 2013 at 1:48 pmI, too, am posting this one up tomorrow and truly found it to be so much fun. And being a Gemini, I am so with you on being a bit of a schizo, lol 🙂
Catherine

June 18, 2013 at 6:16 pmLooks like some new blogs to check out! This ABC thing has been a lot of fun!! I love learning more about all my blog friends! I love brussel sprouts too! Have a bunch of recipes pinned, but I usually just roast them!
Catherine
June 19, 2013 at 2:18 pmI agree, such a great way to learn more about our favorite bloggers. As for Pinterest, goodness, I need to get to that as well!
Amy Kavelaris

Love, Amy
Catherine
June 19, 2013 at 2:18 pmYay Amy! Your blog is a new one I’ve discovered and I’m loving it!
Charlotte
June 18, 2013 at 7:22 pmLove your answers to these! And that quote… So VERY much.
Ewww, brussel sprouts?! I have tried. Several times. I should give them another chance. I don’t think we’ve been in the same room together since I was 12. LOL.
Thanks so much for tagging me; this sounds like a lot of fun!
Catherine
June 19, 2013 at 2:20 pmPoor poor brussel sprouts, getting a bad rap. Ironically, they are all the rage here in the SF restaurant scene.
Kate
June 18, 2013 at 7:37 pmI also dislike people who sneeze on the bus! Adorable about your husband never wanting to leave your side 🙂
Catherine
June 19, 2013 at 2:21 pmWhenever someone sneezes in the bus or the train, I make my way to another seat. I know, I’m awful! But I have a very bad immune system so I need to protect myself.

June 18, 2013 at 9:15 pmI love rose gold jewelry too girl! This was interesting! This OSB is the business!
Catherine
June 19, 2013 at 2:27 pmMy engagement ring and wedding band are both rose gold. I’m dark (my hands especially tend to be very tan), but I also have pinkish undertones so I think it goes really well with dark skin types.

July 5, 2013 at 9:35 pmI’m so lame with this kind of thing. I want to participate and then I forget. Fast forward three/four weeks later and I’m like, oh! I need to do that one post about the thingymabob. At some point I’ll get my shiznit together. At some point.
But really I just wanted to leave a quick comment, pork bellies? Really?
