QUESTIONS FOR ME
1) What is the first thing you do in the morning?
I let my little buttered biscuit out to go potty. His morning bladder needs come before mine. Is that wrong?

2) If the characters from TV shows or the book world are real, who would you want to be with? (Examples: Will Herodale from TID, Damon from Vampire Diaries, or the Doctor from Doctor Who)
Easy! I would hang out with Roseanne Conner and Jackie Harris from the sitcom, Roseanne and Auggie Pullman from the novel, Wonder.

3) What is one thing that you are exceptional at?
Adapting. I may be silently kicking and screaming on the inside but you'd never know it on the outside. I roll with the punches (and perhaps put up a good front).

4) What is one beauty product that failed to impress you?
A few months ago I purchased an eye shadow stick by Neutrogena. The consistency of the shadow was very strange and left a thick, sticky feeling. It felt like someone was trying to tape my eyelids shut all day. Uh, no thanks.

5) If you can have any pet in the world, what would it be?
I already have him. My adopted first-born, Chico Montoya. Equal parts baby, pest, and joy. Wouldn't trade him in for any other pet.

6) Quick, list the five people you would want to meet! (Real or not real.)
Emily Bronte, U2 (that's 4 people in 1 - cheating?), Dr. Seuss, Donalyn Miller (author and teacher), and Chelsea Handler (even though she scares me)

7) If you have a million dollars, what would you spend it on?
I would finish ALL the updates for our house, sock most of it away for future needs, and then probably use a portion to purchase LOADS of books for my local library and school.

9) Have you ever done any DIY projects? If so, what did you make? (Take a picture if you can!)
Why yes I have. See the latest here: http://pokiedot.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-did-it-wipe-off-menu.html

10) If you had a book that could be worth a lot of money, would you sell it or keep it? (Ex: A signed copy of the first Harry Potter book.)
Hmm... depends on the book. If it's a story I personally cherish I'd keep it. If it's a copy of Great Expectations then I'd sell that thing faster than you can say "overrated."
