Dear 7 Questions,

Okay. Cool.

Funny photo? Okay. COOL.

 My pageant dress from last year had these really cool tails on the back.

I usually used them to make wings... NBD.

1. Are you a thrift shopper?

Yes. I. Am. Any good find I can find I snatch it faster than the snatchiest. I love getting blazers and cardigans from thrift shops the very most.

2. You just had a very bad dream, what do you do?
I wake up. Terrified. And remind myself, it is NOT real. And then I lay in my bed for a little telling myself how things really go. Let me give you an example. I went to bed, dreamed about Miss Idaho... at the pageant they decided they would tell us Friday night if we made top ten after every went home so we could prepare properly, I got a call. I made top ten... I ran to this ladies dress store too fix something. The Miss Idaho final night script was sitting out. Top ten page on top... my name not there. I was confused so I asked the lady. Her response? "Oh... well... they decided to change the top ten. The director doesn't really like you..." I got so angry and ran out to my car, and magically my mom was there and I just cried and cried and CRIED saying, "This is my LAST year!! All I wanted was to make top ten and they just stole it. It isn't fair!" And then I remember crying hysterically. Waking up thinking, well the pageant is over, it was a nice go. Only to remember it was May. That was not real. I still have a month until the pageant. It took 30 minutes for it to set in.

3. What is your favorite flavor of Ice Cream?
Vanilla. Boring, right? But think of the endless possibilities of combinations and toppings!

4. What do you do with your money? (spend it, save it, invest it, bury it, etc)
I have a very specific way of handling my money. Every paycheck 10% goes to tithing, $150 goes into my wallet for spending, and the rest goes into saving. I have figured out the best way for me to save my money is to take out cash and once the cash is gone I consider myself "broke".

5. What was the last quote or statement you heard that really hit you?
One of my best friends designs prints and she posted this one on her blog and I love it. It is really a reminder that you will thank yourself for any hard work in the future.

6. What do you do when you're driving alone? (ex: dance, sing, listen to talk radio, etc)
You might recall from a previous 7 questions that I sing and dance. And I seriously sing at the top of my lungs and dance as if I not driving... which is probably very dangerous. But when "The Safety Dance" comes on I cannot help my body from moving.

7. Did you watch the premier of Bachelorette? If so, who was your favorite bachelor?
Of course I watched. Let's not be silly. I love Arie and Ryan. And that is all I have to say about that right now. But of course you will get a more in depth opinion as the season proceeds.


Love,
Deidre
