Three things I'd never give up
My American citizenship (although I've entertained the idea of dual citizenship because that is possible between America and Australia), wearing fun shoes (back in the day, my faves were lime green reebok hi-tops; now, mine are sequined Converse), going to see live music (even though I don't go as often as I used to) ~ I'm going to see Guns N Roses this Friday and JET next Thursday.
Three favorite vegetables
potatoes, green peas, carrots
Three shows I watched faithfully from beginning to end
Oz, Dexter, The Sopranos - yes, HBO had me hooked for a while
Three places I want to visit inside the US
NYC (can you believe I've never been to New York?), San Francisco (and I'm going in June!), Big Bend National Park
Three places I want to visit outside the US
soooo many places, but these 3 popped into my mind first: Queenstown NZ, Japan, Scotland
Three things I always have with me
phone, book, ponytail holder
Three things that are always in my car
coins in the center console, a blanket (because my husband likes it to be freezing), sunglasses

Three things I frequently forget
I can be quite forgetful, so I forget what I frequently forget

Had to chuckle that you named all three Kardashian sisters as people you'd like to avoid. Also, I've been really wanting to try LuLaRoe leggings!! Hopefully I can find someone to order from this summer when I visit the States.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I might know someone that would be willing to ship overseas. Shoot me an email and I'll put her in contact with you canIdecideanotherday@gmail.com
DeleteI am a dual citizen now and it just feels so good to share that with your spouse I think!
ReplyDeleteOh I want to do a post like this someday!! It's a good one! That Melissa McCarthy video cracks me up every time I see it around. haha. Bridge to Terabithia - I loved it too! *SOB*
ReplyDeleteLOL I look forward to eating, too! And I also forget what I tend to forget. Glad I'm not the only one! I'm going to NYC next week for work and I don't love it but I'm excited for a dose of winter.
ReplyDeleteThat dread list.. so, so, sooo true.
ReplyDeleteSame for the list of things you always have with you. ALWAYS have a hair tie. Just in case.
Melissa McCarthy was FANTASTIC in that skit... the funniest I've seen in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI just love her in everything she does.
I have usually 3 ponytail holders on my wrist at all times.
I cannot stop laughing at Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer.
ReplyDeleteMelissa McCarthy nailed it on SNL. I heard it really bother Emperor Baby Fists, especially the fact that woman portrayed Spicer. LOL! That would be the part that offends him. Drinks with Pink (ha!) would be blast. And I love that you listed the Kardashians as people to avoid. Ugh. I never thought their fame would last this long. And I never been to NYC either, which I something I need to change.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you haven't been to NYC or San Francisco, but I'm glad that you're going to cross one of those off your list this year! Thinking back, I really can't remember that many books that I read in college because I don't think that I read that many fun books because I would get distracted and not focus on school. Maybe that's the reason why Chris had no idea how much I loved to read when we got married!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I wanna do this as a post! I love that you named the Kardashians separately as people to avoid. Haha! McCarthy as Spicer was sooooo good. I kept seeing tweets from the east coast and actually waited up to watch SNL live that night. Haha!
ReplyDeleteI loved Oz. What an amazing show.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL at your forgetting what you forget!!! (Me, too)
I'm just with you so much on this list! Ha. Oh Kardashians... I'd avoid them as well. I read The Secret Garden in 2015 (finally!) and loved it. I cannot handle animal books/movies though. So I could probably never read Where the Red Fern Grows. Have fun in SF! We went last year! :) We're headed to NYC this fall. :) Nothing is planned yet though... eek. XO - Alexandra
ReplyDeleteSimply Alexandra: My Favorite Things
I forgot about the Ramona books! I have never been to NYC either and I really want to go one day. Totally jealous of your San Fran trip too!
ReplyDeleteIckkkkk on the green peas. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI have dual citizenship with the US and Switzerland. I'm half terrified the moron in charge here is going to get (more) nervous about his penis size and force those with dual citizenship to pick. UGH. Hopefully not, though ;)
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer is so, so great.
I love sending care packages too! Very jealous about your trip to SF, it looks like such a gorgeous place. Enjoy GNR and Jet :)
ReplyDeleteyou should totally do the dual citizenship! i have been told i can't.. but KC could, because he was born here. the immigration guy said i'd have to give mine up. rude.
ReplyDeletei forget what i frequently forget hahaha
homesickness and body image issues make me cry too. i won't pretend i understand depression - i don't say that lightly, hopefully you know what i mean. hugs to you.
i dread getting on the scale as well. i'm currently reading a book i am hoping will be my 'a-ha' moment, it's called intuitive eating. and i was JUST talking to KC about how i need a blanket in his car because i'm always cold - it was 30 something degrees the other day and he had the AC on. WTF?
Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer is the best thing to come out of the election.
