I Guess I'm It...

I don't usually respond to tags, but because Krista called me out, here you have it babe:

What is your current obsession?  I think obsession might be a strong word, but something I'm really loving right now is this tanning lotion from Ulta.  It works like a dream.



What do you hate the most that everybody else seems to love?  Ed Hardy ANYTHING!  Stop wearing it people!

What are you wearing today?  See below:


What's for dinner?  Morton's tri-tip, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and green beans.

What would you eat for your last meal?  My mom's bbq ribs, my mashed potatoes (yes, mine.  They're killer), City Hall's gnocci, and Rochelle Porter's delightful brownies.

What's the last thing you bought?  Sshhh... don't tell Tommy:  I went to the Chancey with Shelley and bought an awesome pair of Sam Edelman sandals for $29.99 (regularly $114.95) and a pair of Citizens of Humanity boyfriend jeans for $29.99 (regularly $150).  And maybe a few pairs of shoes for the kids.

What are you listening to right now?  My kids watching iCarly.

What do you think of the person that tagged you?  I love her.  Loads of respect for her.  She's a beautiful mother, a loving wife, and thoughtful friend.

If you could have a house, fully paid for, and totally furnished anywhere in the world, where would it be?  Sounds cheesy, but I would just have a kick-A house here in Mesa.  I'm going to sound bratty here for just a minute, but I really don't love my house.  Never have.  Let's just say I signed the closing papers on the house after I saw it.  It just doesn't feel homey to me at all.  I want an entertaining house, one that fills the "Stapley Nation" for waffles on Sundays.  I want a killer backyard and a pimped- out pool.  Someday.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would it be?  Back to the ranch with my entire family (pre-Diablo Grande) and everything would be as it used to be: the horses, the little house, the old dirt road, the barns.  It was magical.

What is one of your hobbies?  Cooking, hands down.

What are 3 things that annoy you most?  The sound of people chewing, hypocrisy, and the whistling sound Tommy's nose makes when he's sleeping.

What is your favorite color?  It's constantly changing.  I'm digging turquoise right now.

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

Practical?  Why, everything in my closet!  I NEED it all!  At least that's what I tell Tommy, anyway.  I guess if I had to choose one, I'd have to say my Rainbow's.  They're definitely an "every-other-dayer."

Impractical?  Tommy seems to think every piece of my lingerie, since it doesn't get used quite as much as he'd like.  I actually think it's my Marc Jacobs handbag still sitting on my closet shelf.

What is your dream job?  I really think I should've been a doctor.  I love blood and guts - but NOT puke.  That's why I could never be a nurse.  They're the ones that have to clean that shaz up.

Describe your personal style.  Basically whatever  Aubri and Krista wearing (notice my sandals in the picture above).

What are you going to do after this?  Well, since we have 9 o'clock church, I'm pooped - I may go lie down and take a little snooze.

What is your favorite fruit?  Hmmm... that's a hard one.  I don't have just one.  Maybe the red seedless grapes from Costco.  Or canteloupe.  I DON'T DO SEEDS!

What inspires you?  A good sale.

Who was the last person you kissed?  The Donald.

What are you currently reading?  This is really sad - I'm not much of a reader.  I loved this week's US Weekly.  Those Real Housewives of New Jersey kill me!

What delighted you most today?  Opening up my first can of Diet Coke in a month plus.  I miss the burn going down my throat. (frowny face)

By what criteria do you judge a person?  I honestly don't consider myself to be very judgemental (unless you happen to be wearing a hideous pair of shoes).

The rules:  1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own.

Tag eight other people (I added one more).

I tag: Andi, Jana, Monica, Stone (yeah Mike, that's you babe), Teresa, Auna, Janae, Rhonda, Shannon B.  Make me proud, sucka's, I'd do it for you.

that is a great dress! I love turquoise too.
And the ranch . . . I agree, it was magical. I always loved getting a chance to visit/play/fish with your family up there.

Teresa said...

I'm usually like you on tags-....but because it's you, I will do it. =)
and I must say...love those sandals-

Monica&Kevin said...

LOVE your outfit. Esp those sandals! I'm tempted to go shopping now ;)

Kim said...

Yep, it sure was magical on the ranch. I was especially fond of the "magical" dark brown tap water, the "magical" half-dozen crickets in the shower we had to squash with a shampoo bottle each morning before showering, and the "magical" floaties in our water that we tried to disguise with Crystal Light mix. I have to say, though, I think I have more great memories from living there than any other place. We had lots of fun picnics, award-winning performances in coordinating outfits in front of Mom & Dad, and fishing trips. Remember our encounters with the big yucky frogs? The one flying over the trampoline and the one you murdered with the lawnmower? Oh! I almost forgot the touching moment when you (and Tara?--I can't remember if she was there or not) stomped on those helpless baby rabbits and sent them to "a better place". Remember when you and I killed that huge tarantula leg by leg with a rock? (Hmmmmm...I'm sensing a pattern here...) The poor thing. Anyway, fun times! Fun times!

Dallas and Krista said...

Ooooh Leigh- Thank you for appeasing me. I always love your good humor! *Like your shoes by the way :)

Jana said...

I promise I will do it, Mom is here working on the cookbook, so it might be a few days before I get around to it. Miss you!
