Oh...Andy Bernard. You make me smile. =]

I'm sure this will be stuck in your head all day, as it will mine.

Now...onto the Liebster Award.

I was gifted this lovely bloggy award from my girl Sarah @ To Be Mrs. Collier, to whom I dedicate my Office gif. =]

Question 1: What is your order at Starbucks?

Well, up until a couple weeks ago, I had, like, 6 standard drink orders.

Caramel Machiatto

Cinnamon Dolce Latte

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Salted Caramel Mocha

Chai Tea Latte

Shaken Passion Fruit Tea Lemonade

But, now I'm avoiding Starbucks like the plague. I'm trying to cut out unnecessary sugar and calories.

Question 2: What is the best gift you have ever received?

This is a hard one to answer because I've been given some really awesome gifts in my life.

There was the Christmas that I got a crap ton of Beanie Babies. {back when they were cool...you remember...right?}

Then, there was the Christmas I got a CD car stereo because my car didn't have a CD player.

Oh, and there was the Christmas I got a computer. That was pretty awesome.

And, then, one Christmas I got a KitchenAid stand mixer. {because my mommy loves me}

And then, one of my all-time favorites was when Mr. GrapeJuice gifted me money to buy a nice camera for our honeymoon. =]

Question 3: When do you brush your teeth; where do you start in your mouth?

I usually brush them after I get out of the shower. I usually start in the back of my mouth on the bottom.

Question 4: Where is your favorite place to eat in your city?

This is a very tough question to answer because there are so many good places in Nashville. There are a lot of little independently owned places that serve up some delicious meals. So, for the sake of sanity and so I don't have to think too hard about it {which is really difficult some days, if I'm being honest}, I'm just going to pick the restaurant I ate at a few weeks ago which I hadn't been to since high school - Bosco's. This is a TN chain with one also in Arkansas. I love love love their pizza!!! The Quattro Formaggi is my favorite, and it tastes just as good if not better the next day! =]

Question 5: What did you want to be when you grew up?

What didn't I want to be? At one point I wanted to be a mom, and then I wanted to be a nurse. Then, I wanted to be a Vet. I also wanted to be a singer or an actress at one point. I think ballerina and gymnast were a thought once too. I became a teacher, and we all know how that turned out so far. But, really, I don't consider myself grown up, at all, and I keep coming up with ideas of fun things I could be! Like a baker or a novelist!! Because, well...why the hell not?!

Question 6: What is your favorite part of the day?

When I get to be outside. I just love the way the sun feels. =]

Question 7: What is the first thing you do when you get home from work?

Greet my cat because he's usually waiting for me at the door.

Question 8: Do you have any road trip rituals?

When I was college and was driving home or back to school, I would get a package of Sour Brite Crawlers and a Dr. Pepper. I don't know why, but I think it's a great road trip snack!
{although, I lean towards apples and bananas now instead}

Question 9: What is something you always wanted to learn but never got around to it?

I would love to learn more advanced ballet. When I was little, I did a bit of ballet, but now that I'm older I really wish I would have stuck with it. I think it is absolutely beautiful, and I desperately wish I had learned pointe.

Question 10: What type of chapstick or lipgloss do you wear?
I will wear anything and everything that makes my lips feel moisturized. Recently, I found the brand "Jordana"  at Walgreens and have fallen in love. It is colorful and wonderful. =]
