This month I’m participating in a weekly link up that is hosted by Penny of The Real Housewife Of Caroline Country and Amber from Bold Fab Mom. Typically for Ask Away Friday, bloggers pair up, swap 10 questions,answer them on their blogs, and link up their posts with Penny and Amber. It’s such a great way to get to know someone better.
Today my friend Erin is here. Well, she is sort of here. Ok, she is not here. BUT she did ask me some questions, and those are here. Along with my answers. She asked me some really REALLY good questions.
If you can be flattered by a question, she just flattered me ten times.
- “I believe in Miracles” by Pearl Jam
- “I Get Knocked Down” by Chumbawamba
- “Bad Day” by R.E.M.
- “Gold” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
- “Future Days” by Pearl Jam
These songs are all sort of a grab bag of get me pumped up into my happy place or remind me what I love about my life.
8.) Favorite go-to or comfort food? If it’s more than a bag of chips or a pack of M & M’s, tell me/us about the recipe, where it came from, and if there’s special meaning behind it.
These are really good questions!
I love your answer for #9. Too often, parents leave too much in the hands of schools/ teachers without thinking that it starts with them, always.
And it sounds to me like you and Cort have found the ‘secret’ to a good marriage – be each other’s best friends and always have each other’s backs.
seriously…I could have used each of Erin’s question as a blog prompt. I still might. She asked some great ones!
The other secret to our marriage? Silliness is a thing…just be silly.
Great questions, Erin! And I related to so many of your answers, Katie! Especially when you said “Something is always suffering” about being over-committed. I had to hold myself back from yelling “Preach It!” in my office. 😉
I wish I had a) the wardrobe to look cute (and different) every day and b) a full length mirror. Actually, scratch that last thing.
I don’t post a selfie every day because I rotate what I wear. Some people have almost brand new outfits daily. NOT ME. And on Fridays I almost always wear the same jeans and hoodie and crappy pony tail. Because I just don’t care by Friday.
And yes. Right now? As I take the time to respond to comments? I should be lesson planning. Something is ALWAYS suffering.
It is so great to see the two of you together!
I would have the same ideas for spending lottery winnings. And I, too, adore food for comfort and celebration – and peanut butter M&Ms. 🙂
you and me and a bag of pb m&ms, yo.
Oh, you know why I love these #AskAwayFridays? Because I get to see people I love (like you and Erin) in a Bigger light (Like I adore your pictures in the faculty restroom and one of those pics is the reason i decided to buy skinny jeans!!!!)
I wish I could come visit, sit on your couch and share a bag of M&Ms with you..I know that talking to you would make my whole day.
Erin asked you some amazing and thoughtful questions…she’s awesome too!
(and next week..you? Me? Questions! YAY!)
YES! You and me next week! WOOT! Do I owe you questions yet? I feel like I do. Or not? My brain has forsaken me!
Wow. Those are awesome questions (and answers). Now I feel kinda weak for the ones I asked Arnebya. Good job you two.
Erin really did a great job with the questions. In all reality I could have made each one a blog post. I still might.
Super questions, super answers. I felt like I was reading an interview for a magazine.
You are such an interesting person, Katie. I love your thoughtfulness and thoroughness, and your marriage perspective is refreshing.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I think you’re amazing.
I have been called interesting before, Andrea. But never as a compliment, so yay! 🙂
I also think you are amazing…so ya wanna pair up and do this with me? I have got some great questions for you! ::wags eyebrows in your direction::
Hi Katie! So glad to meet you…
I love your Teacher’s Lounge photo sessions and you do a great job of keeping a cute look everyday! Go You!
I love food too…happy, sad, bored…LOL I love savory or indulgent foods…Hubby made some Crock Pot Beef Stew and it was absolute perfection! Hmmm…may need to go have a plate…LOL
I think that is awesome that you share how to survive a miscarriage for others to read. I can’t even imagine going through it. I wrote two articles on my blog about miscarriage and tried to be helpful but not actually going through one myself, I know that my advice was fairly standard. I think talking about it to a health professional or someone you love and trust is a must. If you keep those feelings inside, they will eventually explode in ways you may or may not be ready to handle.
loved getting to know you better through these. I think I do better when I look cute and put together too. I should probably look cute and put together more. 🙂 xx.
Such amazing, thoughtful questions and answers! Love these so much!
I’ve read a few of these posts now and love it a little more with each one. Such a great way to get to know my fellow bloggers a little more. Loved your questions and answers. Thanks for sharing!
This was a fun read. I especially loved the question about your style. Most days I look like I just dragged myself out of bed and threw on the first thing I found on the floor. I feel so much better about myself when I actually put a tiny bit of effort towards appearance. It’s hard to feel like doing that when you have kids though.
If we won a ton of money we would put it towards debt as well. That way, we could have more fun with the money we make working instead of making large monthly car and loan payments.
So wonderful to get to know you better! These are such wonderful questions and answers! It is so hard to keep all of the blogging and daily things straight sometimes, but it is wonderful that you have your hubby’s support through it all. Hope that you have a wonderful week!
I love the collage you made of all your outfit pics! Thank you so much for doing this with me. Also? I think I’m going to make your soup this week–sounds easy and delish!
I often wish mu husband’s job allowed him to assist more with the morning (or afternoon) routine around here. Occasionally on a random Tuesday he can drive the twins to school, which is a treat for them as well as for me.
Your outfits are darling. YOU are darling. And you’re right— I feel so frumpy, but if I made more of an effort, I’d probably look and feel better about myself.
Thank you, Katie! love you!!
I adore your outfit pics and you taste in music. We LOVE music around here. Let’s have a dance party together!! 😀
