TGIF!

I don’t know what it was about this week, but it left me feeling all sorts of overwhelmed — I even have the kink in my neck/shoulder to prove it! Ow. But I’m currently sitting here in my fuzzy pink socks with a bowl of ice cream in my lap and it just so happens to be Friday (it’s actually Thursday night, but let’s pretend I’m not writing this ahead of time), so things are starting to look up.

I was originally planning on sharing a recipe with you guys today, but because the weather decided to be uncooperative yesterday, the pictures I took didn’t come out quite the way I’d wanted them to so I’ll have to push that over to next week and do what I always do when post ideas fall through — turn to a survey/tag :mrgreen:

I first saw this one over on Alison’s blog, who I guess got it from Clare. It sounded like a fun and easy post for a Friday, so here.we.go.

Would You Rather…

Speak another language or get a higher degree?
I think I’m going to have to go with language on this one.. especially if I could learn it in the natural environment that it’s spoken in (read: Spain and/or Italy). I’m all for higher schooling, but I think there’s a lot to be said about the education that you get outside of a classroom as well, and at the end of the day, I’d rather have that experience. 

Have a beautiful singing voice or be a fantastic dancer?
Singing voice. I’m perfectly content with having moves like Jagger Carlton…

[youtube=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE&w=560&h=315″]

Be a CEO of a huge company or run your own small business?
Own a small business… which is a dream that’s quickly becoming a reality πŸ˜€

Fly like a bird or teleport?
Teleport…. always, always, always. As awesome as it would feel to fly, think about how much more awesome it would be blink and be somewhere else. I’d be able to visit all my best Blends, save a tonne of money on airfare/accommodations (since I wouldn’t have to take planes and I could teleport back to my own room for the night), and teleport to different countries for all my meals. France for breakfast, Spain for lunch, and Italy for dinner? Please and thank you.

Eat only sweet food or only salty food for the rest of your life?
This one’s a no-brainer — sweet. Life without sugar gives me the sads.

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie2

Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

Do yoga or lift weights?
I think yoga. As much as I enjoy (and miss) lifting, I find that the relaxation aspect of yoga helps me a lot more than the endorphins alone that I get from lifting.

Be a SUPER fast runner be SUPER strong?
Super fast. If I were super strong, I’d be terrified of literally crushing someone when I tried to hug them.

Have 8 kids or no kids?
No kids. Don’t get me wrong — I do want kids — but definitely not 8 of them. I’d lose my mind.

Crazy Minions

Have a small, older home with character or design a big brand new home?
A small older home with character. This is something I’ve noticed since I started accompanying my parents on their house-hunting excursions. As nice as some of the newer homes can be, I find they usually feel a little cold and uninviting… There’s just something about older homes that makes them so much more cozy and homey.

Watch the Today Show or Good Morning America?
Neither? Mostly because I don’t really care much for TV.

Watch only sports or watch only BRAVO?
See above ^^ Although for this one I’m leaning more towards Bravo since I can’t for the life of me watch sports — I’d rather be doing them.

Snowboard-Strapping-In

Cook a romantic dinner at home or go to the nicest restaurant in town?
Romantic dinner at home. I haven’t been huge fan of eating out ever since that one time where I ended up in the ER as a result of a slight “oversight” of the cook. I trust no one.

Drink beer or wine?
Wine. And speaking of which, a glass would go great with my ice cream… which is sadly almost all gone πŸ˜₯

Eat cookies or eat cake?
Cookies… which would also have gone great with my ice cream. 

Cookies n Cream

Have only brothers or have only sisters?
Only brothers. I feel like I would have had more in common with them growing up… maybe because most of my friends growing up were guys.

Go to Africa or Asia?
Africa. An African safari is very much on my travel bucket list.

Eat sweet potato fries or regular fries?
Regular fries. I like sweet potatoes on occasion, but my heart will always belong to the white potato.

Homemade Fries

Own an SUV or a sports car?
A sports car. This girl has a serious need for speed.

Have a personal chef or a personal trainer?
Oh.my.gosh a chef — that would be a dream come true. I don’t care much for following a certain fitness routine or trying to achieve a certain look, but not having to cook my meals? Bliss.

Sleep for 9 hours every night but no coffee, or sleep for 6 hours a night and have coffee?
6 hours and coffee… which is basically how I function now. I love my hug in a mug too much to give it up, and I find that I actually do just fine on 6 hours of sleep — it’s how my body seems to naturally operate. Besides… those extra 3 hours are invaluable.

Read a book or watch a movie?
Going by the fact that I don’t even know if my TV still works since I can’t remember the last time I turned it on, and that I own so many books that I think I’ll need to look into a library for my home, I think I’ll go with “read a book” for this one.

Dratted Heavy Book

Live on the east coast or west coast?
West coast. Going east just feels strange.

Have your toenails painted or your fingernails painted?
Toes. I’ll often opt out of painting my fingernails just because I hate it when they start chipping (which is basically instantly), but my toes just feel naked without any colour on them.

Go to the beach or the mountains?
Mountains will forever own my heart. There’s nowhere I feel more at home.

Winter Mountains

Signature

I’d love it if you picked a few and gave me your answers! Happy Friday! πŸ˜€

    Salty over sweet, run a small business, personal trainer over chef, super fast over strong, weights over yoga, 8 kids over no kids (that’s tough, but couldn’t do without my current 3!)

    I live in a small older home with character (literally described my house to a T) but I live in a community where people have huge new homes they’ve either built or majorly renovated and I have to say I get really jealous. I do love my house, it just gets cramped with the 5 of us and it’s difficult to keep clean! A happy medium would be nice.

    “Life without sugar gives me the sads” ahhh…my sentiments exactly! πŸ™‚
    I love these “Would you rather posts” I haven’t read too many of them…
    West coast vs East coast living – does that apply to the World or the North American Continent? If it was the latter – I would so love to be on the West coast too – I live on the east and we have been to California and having the beach, mountains and no extremities in temps would be a dream of mine!
    P.S. I dream of having moves like Carlton! Have a wonderful weekend lovely lady!

    Love this! I’d live in the mountains in a small, cozy house with lots of character, definitely closer to the west coast. There’s something about the relaxed, laid-back vibe of the people I’ve encountered there that entices me.

    My mother in law is currently in South Africa where she will be going on a Safari! So jealous, but I can’t wait so see her pictures. This is definitely something I would love to do one day! We have an old house with character in a great neighborhood, and although I love it, there are some things about old houses that are not fun- small closets, small bathrooms and the fact that in the southern heat it never gets as cool as you want it to.. but all in all I love the location! It’s all about compromise!

    I definitely prefer books over movies. I am seriously obsessed only by owning them.
    And, even though I am Swiss and madly in love with our Alps – I would choose the beach over them. I blame it on the cold in winter….

    I would definitely love to speak another language, preferably Italian! My mom was born in Italy and her parents and siblings speak it, but my brother and I never learned and quite, honestly never took an interest when we were younger. Over the years, I’ve definitely started to regret not learning Italian. Who knows…maybe one of these days…

    Ohh I’m definitely stealing this survey! So many things to comment on, but the first that comes to mind is pure jealousy that you only have to sleep 6 hours! I’m an 8+ hour gal and a couple of days in a row of 5 or 6 hours leaves me all cranky!

    Then on the language vs higher ed..I am with you on the language and learning it IN the country. I took 6 years of French but lost a lot of it because I never really used it outside of class. Immersion is the best way to learn!

    Happy Friday!!!!!

    Have a personal chef or a personal trainer? Personal trainer! As much as I love really good food cooking is one of my favorite things to do. But having someone to push me through hard workouts everyday, that would be awesome!
    Live on the east coast or west coast? This is the hardest one for me! Can I say both!?!? My husband and I have a goal to start our own business so that we can split our time 50/50 between the coasts and be near each sides of our family for part of the year! haha

    I would take 9 hours of sleep and no coffee any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I’m a sleeper though; I need lots of it. That being said, I would be very sad to say good-bye to my coffee. Maybe one night a week I could sleep 6 hours and drink coffee.

    The television thing; you’re not missing much. Sure, there are some shows I love, but I’d survive just fine without as well. And think of all the time I’d gain…actually I don’t watch a ton so maybe a couple hours a week, if that.

    This is fun!! I agree with you on most of them…except the kids…I think I’d have to go with 8. But if that were the case, I guess I probably wouldn’t want my small, charming home then, huh? πŸ˜‰ Have a great weekend! Hopefully things’ll slow down a bit for you.

    Haha, How fun! I think I’d rather go to Africa too. I don’t like sweet potato fri’s. I’ve tried them i just cant do it.

    I find it awesome that we’re so similar in some aspects, but so different in others! It’s the nut butter that brings us together πŸ˜‰ No, but I feel like my answers have swayed after reading your explanations for some of these…like the 8 or no kids one…

      No kids would definitely suck, but I still think it’s the lesser of two evils. I enjoy my sanity — I’d like to keep it πŸ˜†

    I would love to run my own small business (something I’m currently working on!).
    Fly, sweet food, no kids, BOTH houses (love interior design/home dΓ©cor), Today show, cook at home, eat sweet potatoes alllllll day everyday (I do not understand your love for white taters at ALL!), personal trainer, no coffee w/ 9 hours (I hate coffee anyways), and head to the beach.
    Fun post, Amanda!

    Loving your answers, and agreeing with a large majority of them too! Especially the small home with character vs. building a big one….older homes have sooooo much more character! I just love the details you find in older homes!

    Start working on the teleportation NOW.

    And let’s not start on those potatoes. Saw them on insta and got jealous. Saw them now and got jealous. Notice a theme?

    Fun survey!! But there were so many I absolutely refuse to choose between….wine or beer? Yoga or weights? Cookies or cake? Africa at Asia? I must and WILL have them all πŸ™‚

    As much as I would love some kids, 8 sounds far too intense! Painted toes beat painted nails for me always!

    What about a degree in a language? You can usually work in a semester or year of study abroad when doing the degree… πŸ™‚ (That’s how I ended up studying in Germany for a year.)

    I found the Asia/Africa question interesting. I lived in East Africa and even though there are a lot of Asian locations on my travel wish-list, all I could think was that I wanted to be back in Africa RIGHTNOW!!!!

    And you get more high fives on the dance floor dancing like Carlton than actually having good moves πŸ˜€

      I love what you said about getting a degree in another language! Except I’d worry that I wouldn’t end up learning much because I’d be too busy taking everything else in πŸ˜†

    Haha that minion picture was PERFECT for that question. If it came down to none vs 8.. I rather have none and maybe 8 dogs instead πŸ˜‰ at least they won’t be coming outta me!

    This post is reason enough on why we need to meet in real life! As I went through, I answered almost all of them exactly the same. LOVE IT. =) I might just have to steal this for when I get back to regular posting (hopefully it happens soon!).

    This is great. The 8 kids thing- try just one. Right now, that seems PLENTY enough πŸ™‚ And the 6 hours with coffee thing is pretty much my sleeping pattern lately, because of the one child thing. I crave an hour nap sometimes.
