5QF!

1. What is the first nightmare you remember?
Oh, man. I probably wasn't over 5 or 6 years old when I had this nightmare, but I'll never forget it. I dreamed there was a baby vampire in our smaller bathroom, and somehow it started sucking blood from my foot. Granted, I've had a lot scarier nightmares over the years, but that's the first I remember.

2. Even if you're not a sports fan, what's your favorite sport to play/watch?
OK, it's always kind of a tie between college football and baseball, but I think football wins out in the end. There's just something about the atmosphere at a college football game: if your team's winning, there's no better place in the world to be. Hotty Toddy!

3. If you could pull off one piece of trendy fashion, what would you want it to be (jeggings, hats, thigh high boots, etc.)?
Platform heels. They're so gorgeous, but I cannot walk in heels to save my life.

4. Did you make good grades in school?
Please! Fourth in my high school class and summa cum laude at Ole Miss. But I don't like to brag... :)

5. What magazines do you subscribe to?
Brides (because YAY I finally have a reason!) and Glamour (which I've subscribed to since I was in high school).

Another 5QF!

1. What were your school colors?
Well, let's see...I went to a lot of schools, so I'll just give you a list:
HCS (elementary/junior high) - blue and red
NSHS (high school) - officially red and white, but the cheerleaders' uniforms sometimes had a little blue or black trim
NEMCC (community college) - black and gold
Ole Miss (university) - Harvard crimson and Yale blue
So basically, I'm a red/blue girl.

2. What's the best compliment you ever received?
I really like compliments on my writing. The other day, my editor commented on how beautifully I write, and that really meant a lot to me.

3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?
I buy Angel Soft. It's cheap, but it's the only kind I like!

4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?
Both, actually! When I was younger I wanted a telescope for my birthday, and my mom and aunt and uncle bought me one, but they couldn't get it to work so they threw me a surprise party instead. Then this year, I threw a surprise 70th birthday party for my grandma. My sister and I started plotting it a year ago. I still can't believe she didn't find out until she walked through the door!

5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"?
My laptop. I write, I read, I plan, I design. I cannot live without it.
