Tag You're It Tuesday!

I've been tagged!!!  One of my best bride blogger buddies, Ms. Jacin of the fabulous blog "She Said Yes", totally called me out to participate in a friendly game of blogger tag.  (Hardly) ever able to turn down a dare/challenge I am up for the task!  To keep this game moving my job is seemingly simple, per her instructions: once you've been tagged, you answer 8 questions from your "tagger." then, you write your own 8 questions and tag 8 new people! 

Without further ado... my answers to her questions:

1. if one song were to describe your life, what song would it be?

This is super hard for me... and I think I'm going to have to twist this one around a little bit... not sure what describes my life, but a song that might describe ME is Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix. I love the honest & powerfulness of the song as chose this because I am a very passionate and expressive person with a wide variety of interests.

2. if you could be another person for a day, who would you be?

I don't think there is any specific person I would want to be, I would like to be able to see the world through a completely different perspective.  As a reminder to always practice compassion, I think I would spend the day in the life of someone with any kind of severe handicap, special need, or impoverished circumstance.  Nothing glamorous about it but I think it would help make me a better person. (not that I'm claiming to be a bad person now, but always looking to improve :) )

3. what has been your favorite aspect of wedding planning?

I am tempted to say blogging... but truly it is feeling all of the love and support from all of our friends and family (and making new friends during the planning process) - it is a constant reminder of how lucky we are and I am thankful everyday.  And, of course, knowing that the wonderful end result of all of it will be that I am married to the most amazing person in the entire world. :)

4. if you had one wish, what would it be? 
 To have a gift/ability/superpower to heal people...  and I'd wish for a bit more patience... and a lifetime supply of dark chocolate.

5. what is your favorite movie?

Love Actually or The Holiday (quite possibly followed up by The Little Mermaid)

6. what is your guilty pleasure? (not thinking in the gutter here, girls.  mine is andy capps hot fries, haha) Starbucks - not because what I get is bad for me (venti bold splash of nf milk 1 spenda) but because of how much money I spend there!

7. if the whole world were listening, what would you say? 

Hiiiii!!!  and remember that when it all comes down to it we are all the same - just people - and cliche but always Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

8. what's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
Can I have a pass on this one?  No?  Ok, then my attempt at this is probably advice regarding making sure you constantly push your limits and set new goals but not at the expense of your health/mental well being and relationships (take a mental health day every now and then)
 
Phew! Ok...  as if that wasn't hard enough now I have to write my own 8 and tag 8 more of you to keep the game going!  

The Questions:
1) If you had to give up ice cream or chocolate which would it be?
2) Nightowl or Early Bird?
3) If you got 1 re-do in life what would it be?
4) What is your favorite Dave Matthews Band song?
5) If you could choose 1 over the top crazy thing to include in your wedding what would it be/have been?
6) What is your favorite quirky trait about your partner?
7) Finish this sentence... I can never seem to leave a drugstore without buying...
8) What is the 1 thing on your to-do list that you always put off/never get around to doing?
