20 Favorite Things

1. Favorite Disney Movie- Beauty and the Beast. Hands Down. Funny enough though my favorite song is from the Broadway show.




2. Pastime- reading. This was not always so. When I was about 12-13 I found the book that took me away from my problems and took me to another world for awhile. I discovered how to travel without spending hundreds of dollars, how to become other people without becoming insane. It was my new love.
3. Yellow butter cake with chocolate frosting. This is my go to cake. I love this cake. When I was little my mom says I always used to get white cake with white frosting (uck), but now I love the rich goodness of butter yellow cake topped with thick chocolate frosting. Mmmmm.
4. My grandparents. They are some of the most giving, understanding, generous, loving people I have ever met, and I am not saying that cause I am their favorite;) They have taught all of their children who have tried to teach all of their children to give of themselves, to always lend a helping hand, and that it is better to give than to receive. They are some of the most amazing people I have the privilege to know, and be loved by.
5. Favorite things- Books! Old, new, borrowed (from a known source such as a friend, libraries gross me out), blue! I love books
6. Animal- Dogs. Favorite particular dog would be my God-dog Kirby Jo. Favorite farm animal is goats.
7. Favorite place I have ever been- Colorado. Up in the mountains, where it is gorgeous and things are so green, and there is still snow in the mountains, yet even when walking around on the snow you can do it in short sleeves in may. Then in town it is warm weather, no snow and life is so laid back compared to Minnesota.
8. Favorite Holiday- It used to be Christmas but I now have to say Easter as I get older I appreciate Easter more and the hubub of Christmas less.
9. place to eat out. I lovelovelove Fogo de chao, but i get crazy cravings for breakfast food from the pancake house.
10. Favorite place I have ever lived would be Cloquet. I didn't want to move there. I threw a huge fit when we did. I was tired of always moving, plus we had to get rid of my dogs (one of which I had had for about 6-7 years. Half my life at this point!). However, once we got there and I had approx. 38-45 anxiety attacks in and around the nurses and the councilor's office I made many good friends and was equally upset when we had to move again 5 years later right before my senior year.
11. Favorite season -Fall! break out the scarves, the mittens, the sweaters, the jeans. I love the changing colors of the trees, the colder weather, the clothes I get to break out, without having to cover up with a bulky jacket, and the holidays of Halloween and thanksgiving.
12. event- The State Fair- In all my remembered years i have never missed attending the state fair. I love just going, walking around, eating the fatty foods, deep fried foods, on-a-stick foods, looking in all the booths, window shopping through the fair, and usually making myself sick on sweet Martha's cookies and all you can drink milk.
13. Favorite Hockey player- Word on the street says that I have several pieces of expensive clothing that would lead one to believe that it is one Backstrom of the MN Wild based on the fact that his last name is written on said pieces of clothing.
14. Favorite comfort food- Mashed Potatoes, gravy,biscuits, and something with chocolate and sugar in it that is not french silk pie.
15. Favorite type of car. I would love to own a Dodge Charger an early 60's or a 70's. I like the modern ones too but the older ones look sweet.
16. Favorite Video game- Mario cart. But i do miss playing sonic the hedgehog on sega. I saw they have a new game for sonic on ds. I might have to invest:)
17. Favorite mode of transportation- riding in a car when someone else is driving. I don't really care for driving, and somethings are to close to fly to.
18.Favorite Job I have ever had would be working at Michaels because more often than not we just goofed off or stood around talking, even with management.
19. Favorite artist- waterhouse
20. Favorite classic novel- Wuthering Heights by Bronte
