Blog-tember Challenge: Get to Know Morgan

I'm back! 

So, I have read a lot of fun posts from Bailey Jean's "2015 Blog-tember Challenge" which I am hoping will help me get back in the blogging game more consistently. Things have been crazy busy, but I will do my best! I'm a day late, but bare with me...

The first prompt is an introduction of moi. So, instead of giving the very basics (which you can find on my "About YDD" page), I thought I'd get more specific. So here goes!

• FAVORITE FOOD? 
• I'm not sure I can pick one - I love my momma's biscuits and gravy, I love filet mignon, seafood, and chocolate covered strawberries. :) I could go on!

• FLIP FLOPS or HIGH HEELS? 
• I love the look of heels, but honestly would rather be barefoot :)

• FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOP...FOR ME! 
• Ann Taylor, AT Loft, Target, Banana Republic, JCrew

• STANDARD COFFEE ORDER? 
• I like to stray every now and again, but generally a regular coffee with steamed whole milk. 

• ROAD TRIP MUST HAVE SNACK? 
• Swedish Fish :)

• DIY or HIRE IT OUT? 
• I suppose it depends - generally DIY (but my husband would say otherwise haha)

• TOP 5 TV SHOWS? 
• Top 5? Wow. Um, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Fixer Upper, Astronaut Wives Club, Barefoot Contessa, and Criminal Minds (random, huh?).

• FAVORITE BOOK? 
• Gone with the Wind. <3

• FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE? 
• Never thought I'd say (type?) this, but a short jog. I'm not into the long runs yet, but I enjoy 2-3 easy miles.

• HOW TALL ARE YOU? 
• 5'1. And every bit counts.

• DO YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW AT RESTAURANTS OR STICK TO YOUR FAVORITES? 
• I love to try new things, but will only do so if I feel I can trust the chefs not to disappoint!

• ONE MAKEUP ITEM YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT? 
• Mascara. I just feel like I look sleepy without it! Well, I might be...

• WHAT'S ON YOUR NIGHTSTAND? 
• Right now, there are 3 books, a book light, lamp, picture of Spencer, and a dish with: hand cream, face cream, lavender oil, petroleum jelly (for my overnight lip treatment) and cuticle oil.

• ONE THING MOTHERHOOD HAS TAUGHT YOU? 
• Well, I'm only "mother" to a furbaby right now, so I'll go with that. Piper has taught me that no matter what I have going on in my life, her needs always come first. She also is a great reminder that at the end of the day, love and puppy kisses are all we really need to feel good!

• MUSIC THAT REMINDS YOU OF HIGH SCHOOL?
• I have a DVD of our senior slideshow filled with songs - a few are "You and Me" by Lifehouse, "Best of Me" by Starting Line, and "Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR.

• IF YOU COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD OTHER THAN YOUR CURRENT CITY, WHERE? 
• Tough. This will likely change a lot, but right now I would say London. It's beautiful, historical, clean, easy to get around, and full of fun things to do. Plus, I could meet up with my BFF Kate Middleton for tea!

• TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOU WE MIGHT NOT KNOW. 
• I'm pretty much an open book. But I guess not many people know that I can pick things up with my toes...? haha Also, I really love lists. But that's not surprising to most.

• WEBSITES YOU READ // BROWSE (besides blogs):
• She Reads Truth, Influence Network, local news sites

• MORNING PERSON or NIGHT OWL? 
• Night Owl. I would stay up late every night doing things if I didn't have to get up early for work.

• WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE/LEAST FAVORITE CHORE? 
• I love to clean the kitchen - instant gratification! Plus, I love to spend time there, and enjoy it more when it's clean. My least favorite chore is cleaning the shower. It's one of those necessary evils, I suppose. Why won't it just stay clean!?

Until next time - -
