4. What is your favorite ice cream?
Mint chocolate chip!
5. What do you do for a living?
From 2006-10, I was a congressional aide on Capitol Hill, where I worked in public relations and committee administration. Currently, I’m working toward completing my master’s degree in publishing and have also been active in coordinating weddings, editing a professional wedding blog and engaging in various types of writing throughout the past year.

Saturday, especially when I’ve gotten enough classwork and errands done during the week that I can actually take the day off to relax or head out for some fun!
7. Do you have a favorite TV show?
My all-time favorite is Gilmore Girls, which I still DVR in reruns on ABC Family to watch each evening while I unwind from my day. I especially love the show’s well-written dialogue, which is helping influence my own voice as an aspiring fiction writer.

I like my food spicy and full of flavor, and though it’s hard to pinpoint just one specific item, I’ll never turn down the chance to nosh on Mexican, Indian or Thai dishes.

Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast Lip Protectant in SPF 15 to help keep the cold sores at bay, especially during the windy winter months.

Thanks for tagging me! I'll definitely try to participate :) I love Gilmore Girls and was thinking of adding the entire series to my Netflix queue since I missed most of them the first time around.
ReplyDeleteThank you for tagging me! I had no idea you once worked in the political world, that sounds awesome yet somewhat intimidating! Shockingly, I've never seen an episode of the gilmore girls in its entirety! Not sure why! And I know the feeling about pictures, colours and make-up. Heather, it's taken me a long time to figure this all out so keep experimenting and always remember, what you see in person is not always the same in front of the lens.
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks for the tag!
