You knew I had to be back sometime. This isn't a terribly good reason to be back, but whatever. My blog.
1. Do you like blue cheese? Only as a sauce in which to dip my hot wings. NOMNOMNOM
2. Have you ever smoked? I inhaled a few cigarettes during the summer between freshman and sophomore years in high school, and occasionally the first year I lived in Montana. I abstain these days, and it'll likely stay that way. Tobacco is bad for you and I'm out of shape enough as it is.
3. Do you own a gun? Not even a super soaker, though I did have a couple of those in college.
4. What flavor Kool Aid was your favorite? I can't bring myself to care about this question, but the answer is probably fruit punch or something.
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Not usually.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? 100% all organic beef ones are freakin' awesome, especially served New England style. Otherwise, pass.
7. Favorite Christmas movie? Probably "White Christmas," though I also love "The Shop Around the Corner," and "Elf".
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? I don't get up before noon. And when I do I usually just eat something, yogurt or cereal. So I guess the answer is kind of milk.
9. Can you do push ups? Yes, but not very many at once - 20/25 is max at the moment, though I'm working up to more, so I can be a better breakdancer.
10. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? My engagement ring, and the blue topaz necklace Hank bought for me in Florence, Italy the first time he went.
11. Favorite hobby? Tap dance.
12. Do you have A.D.D.? Nope.
13. Do you wear glasses/contacts? Yes, both. And I just got new glasses, yay!
14. Middle name? Would you believe I have two? Alison Elizabeth. Though I've mostly dropped the Alison now because like that my initials are KEG. Heehee.
15. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment? I need to shower (tap class), should I go to the breakdance jam tonight?, I should eat some dinner ...
16. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Water, milk, diet coke (I just can't help myself).
17. Current worry? The health of my grandmother and the well-being of my mother.
18. Current hate right now? Rich kids with fancy cars who talk on their cell phones while driving. I just saw one today trying to parallel park his BMW with one hand while holding the cell phone with the other. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
19. Favorite place to be? I really, really like Missoula, Montana. I just wish all my friends and family lived here, too. Please?
20. How did you bring in the new year? In Polebridge, MT, sitting in a woodfired hot-tub looking at the stars. Gorgeous.
21. Where would you like to go? I would like to go on a for real vacation with all my friends and family somewhere relaxing. Mexico, maybe? But only if I can get there on a train.
22. Name three people who will complete this? Who gives a crap?
23. Do you own slippers? No, though I sometimes wish I did.
24. What shirt are you wearing? Plain heather gray, stretchy t-shirt.
25. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? Not really.
26. Can you whistle? Yes, and I do it often.
27. Favorite color? I've recently really started to hate this question. Really, who has a favorite color? I love all colors!
28. Would you be a pirate? No, I don't like boats.
29. What songs do you sing in the shower? My shower singing has dropped off significantly since high school. I used to sing a lot of 311. Weird, right?
30. Favorite Girl's Name? I have phases. Right now I really like the name Elinor.
31. Favorite boy's name? Colin?
32. What's in your pocket right now? I have no pockets. And when I do, I usually don't have anything in them, because my pants are all too tight. Dammit
33. Last thing that made you laugh? Messing up in tap class.
34. What vehicle do you drive? Trek 7200 hybrid bike, lady style. With fenders and a basket on the front. :) I also have a blue '97 Nissan Sentra that I wish someone would steal.
35. Worst injury you've ever had? I've broken bones, but most recently I REALLY pulled some muscles along my side, down my ribs under my arms. It hurt so badly I was nauseated.
36. Do you love where you live? Yes, yes, yes. I just wish it was closer to everything/everyone else I love.
37. How many TVs do you have in your house? None! But we make up for it by having like seventeen computers. Oi.
THE END.

fabulous
it has been such a lovely, fun-filled few days
genevieve's bachelorette party started on Friday evening, at Bethany's house with a delicious salmon dinner, engaging conversation and lots of red wine. later we went downtown, to the VFW for karaoke, which was hilarious, especially since we brought along a cake shaped like an enormous penis ("anybody wanna see a big cock?" was what Heather said as she carried it down the street to the bar). Bebe wore her tiara, sash and bling ring (which was not all that much bigger than her actually engagement ring (that thing is amazing!)), and we ruled that place. i sang Toxic, Flashdance, and Blue Moon of Kentucky. good times, though i drank too much and felt not so good that night or the next morning.
the next day we picked Jesslyn up from the airport (she finally arrived after a harrowing day in the airport the day before), got some lunch at the GFS, and then met everyone else at my place to head out to the party house down in the B'root. Jamie drove Becca, Jesslyn and I to this place, which was south of Darby, up the West Fork of the Bitterroot. it was a pretty amazing place for all of us - a huge common room with a fireplace, an enormous dining room and great kitchen, and everyone got their own bed, which was nice. tired on pretty dresses and helped Genevieve decide on which one she should have her bridesmaids wear. had a great dinner, hilarious party games, more penis cake, and then we hung out in the hot tub (once it finally warmed up!) until we all needed to pass out from being tired. stupid daylight saving time came along and stole an hour from us, though ...
we had a leisurely morning and breakfast the next day, Genevieve decided she was gonna stay for until the next afternoon and changed her ticket (yay!), there was more hot tubbing for some of the group, and then we all headed back to Missoula in the late afternoon. a beautiful drive up the Bitterroot Valley - the weather was amazing all weekend. sushi hana for dinner with the menfolks (hank, matt and dave), where we had the most mysterious check paying mishap ever ...
today Becca and I walked to Selvedge Studio to meet the rest of the ladies and help G make fabric decisions for the wedding (I'm really excited about that store now!), then we all piled into Kiki's car to take her to the airport (6 ladies in a Subaru!) and say goodbye. then the rest of us went up to Waterworks Hill where we swooned over every dog we came along (including Sarah Cobler's Jack and her friend Erica's Maisy, who we ran into up there), and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful day. it's been completely idyllic all day - just gorgeous! then we came back downtown, and Jesslyn, Becca and I went to Betty's Divine for some awesome shopping adventures (salmon pants!). we were starting to feel hungry by then, so we went to Butterfly Herbs for lunch, and met Hank there, (and Catherine came later). Jesslyn and I got milkshakes - yummy. then Jesslyn and Catherine had to leave so they could get ready for Rasa's yoga class and Hank, Becca and I came home. now we're chatting about life and books and school and enjoying the late evening sunshine.
so, I just wanted to chronicle these events, because it was just lovely spending time with all these amazing women who I really appreciate ... so thanks, world, for making this happening for me. :)
