TGIF!
I brought leftovers for lunch today.
Leftover acorn squash + ww pasta with simple tomato sauce.
and roasted broccoli!
Since I just have leftovers, albeit good ones, for lunch, I thought I would post my Honest Scrap!
I got tagged by Camille, one of the awesome bloggers I met in San Francisco a few weeks ago.
I’m supposed to list 10 things people probably don’t know about me, so here we go!
1. I took piano lessons for 4 or 5 years, and I miss playing.
2. My Pampaw used to have a bright orange VW Beetle and I wanted it!
3. On the way to piano one night, a guy that cut my dad off while driving pulled up beside us at a stoplight and showed my dad his gun by pointing it towards our car through his window. I didn’t see it…since I was a nerd and was reading a Babysitter’s Club book with my awesome book light.
4. I hate Williams Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. Maybe because I’ve had to read it a million times?
5. I went through a stage in my late high school/early college years where I only shopped at Hot Topic, I dyed my hair dark red, and I gauged my ears (eventually) to a size 0. I’m sure my parents are happy that phase is over.
6. My little sister and I used to dress up in my dad’s sweats, stuff pillows in our sweatshirts and pants and “sumo wrestle” on our trampoline.
7. Even though we’re 3 years apart, teachers in our high school used to ask me and my older sister if we were twins.
8. Although I was an English major, I haven’t read most of the “classics”.
9. I want to write a cookbook! Maybe more than one, but at least one.
10. I am ridiculously excited for Thanksgiving – family, friends, my mom’s fudge pie, Black Friday shopping…it’s the best.
Instead of tagging people, list a few things in the comments! I want to know you better, too ;)

I’ve played piano for about 21 years now and love it for stress relief. I can’t wait to watch my Texas boys play this weekend. I actually have tix to the Big 12 championship the 5th of Dec. :)
I used to play piano as well!
And I loved Hot Topic in middle school…okay, and some of high school.
I like this Honest Scrap tag! I love learning new things about people – especially you!
-I took violin lessons for about 3 or 4 years and I hated it! I used to drop and kick my violin on purpose so that it could break.
-I love to sleep and could probably sleep until mid-afternoon if I allowed myself to.

I love this :D Such a fun way to get to know people…
Random things about me…
– I used to love the Babysitters Club, Saddle Club and Sweet Valley High and would spend entire weekends with a stack of books just reading one after another
– I have a tattoo of a rose on my stomach that I got when I was 15
– my brother lives 10 minutes away from me and we get on REALLY well but haven’t seen each other since March (!)
Sorry all my Michigan peeps, I’m picking Ohio State :-)
I pierced my tongue and got an industrial bar through the top of my ear as my gift to myself for completing my dissertation. The tongue piercing closed up 2 weeks later when I took it out because I had a job interview. Still wear the bar.
YUMMY! I love your mom’s fudge pie ;)
-I remember your Hot Topic phase and it seems so far from who you are now.
-I have always wanted to play the piano but never learned even though we always had a piano in the house growing up.
-I REALLY want to have this baby boy on my birthday on Sunday cause I don’t care so much about sharing that day, in fact I think it would be the best birthday gift ever!
– My brother and I are 1 year and 360 days apart. He was born 5 days before my second birthday.
– My favorite doll as a kid was the home-made cabbage patch my mom made me. I sold my regular ones in a yard sale along time ago but still have my home-made one.
– I got the day off of school when the Berlin wall fell. My parents were stationed in Germany. Somewhere I have a piece of it.
– I don’t really like pizza. I only eat it if it has funky toppings like feta and asparagus.
– I still own all my Baby Sitters Club books and will be passing them onto my daughter someday because I think they are that cool.
Hey!
Your food always looks so good…and big in your pictures, lol.
I can’t play any instrument or sing a note, but I love to listen to music.
I used to live in Michigan and California before moving to Oregon.
In my youth, I went to lots of rock concerts, like Queen, Aerosmith, Joe Cocker and Cat Stevens.
Have a great weekend! Anne
Can you post a picture of your piercings? I read from another blog that you have the coolest ones! :D
I’ll see! I only have one kind of cool one, but I’ll try to remember to put a picture up!
I can’t believe you don’t like As I Lay Dying. One of my faves. And I loved your earrings. I thought they were great. Also, I only know enough Spanish to help high schoolers with Spanish 1&2. I’m not sure we got our money’s worth.
