Q&A

1. What is your current obsession?
you could call the whole process of buying our first house a bit of an obsession...eek!

2. What are you wearing today?
my favorite jeans with a colorful tee and grey cardigan

3. What was for dinner last night?
Boca burgers & corn casserole

4. What's the last thing you bought?
spinach, cheese, and enchilada sauce for the Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas I made for dinner on Tuesday

5. What are you listening to right now?
KSGN is playing on my computer - Jeremy Camp, Give You Glory just came on

6. If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished, anywhere in the world where would you like it to be?
San Clemente, CA...on the coast with a wall of windows facing the ocean! For now, I'll just be thankful that it's only a 60 minute drive south.

7. What is the one thing you would like to change about yourself?
I'm very particular about stupid little things...like finding an exactly perfectly comfortable position when I fall asleep, etc. I hate that! Also, I would love nothing more than to be able to keep a nice clean house all week long...but it's just not in me so Saturdays usually end up being big cleaning days and we spend the rest of the week undoing all of that hard work!

8. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour where would you go?
I would visit a Swedish masseuse at a warm, tropical resort somewhere in Mexico

9. Which language do you want to learn?
I would be much more employable in SoCal if I learned Spanish! But I've always wanted to learn sign language.

10. What's your favorite Bible verse?
Nahum 1:7 - The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble; he cares for those who trust in him.

11. Would you cook for me?
absolutely YES! I love to cook....any time!

12. What is the right way to avoid people who purposefully hurt you?
First, I think it's important to do your best to treat them as Jesus would, however, I fail miserably at this most times. Sometimes, I think, you just have to end the relationship even if that's not how you would have liked things to go.

13. What are you most afraid of?
losing someone I love

14. Who do you want to meet right now?
I know it's kind of lame, but I would love to meet Peyton Manning after a fantastic superbowl win next weekend!! Go Colts!

15. What is your favorite color?
I've always kind of disliked this question...I don't really have a distinct favorite color. I'll go with royal blue for the Colts this week!

16. Give us 3 styling tips that work for you.
- Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation! Most days I only wear foundation and powder.
- New York Color Cosmetics because they're SOO affordable...I love their mascara and eye shadows!
- Clean & Clear moisturizer with SPF 15

17. What is your dream job?
This isn't really my dream job...but when Matt and I retire we want to be the little old people that wear the straw hats at Angel's stadium...ushers I guess :)

18. What is your favorite magazine?
The Therapist, Cooking Light, and a little People while I'm waiting in line at the grocery store :)

19. If you had $100 now what would you spend it on?
I'm totally and completely addicted to Bones right now...I'd probably buy seasons 1-4 (currently borrowing them from a friend which is a lot nicer on my checkbook)

20. What do you consider a fashion faux pas?
black pants with brown shoes, belt, etc...sorry people...not budging on that one! After 4 1/2 years I think I can finally say, I've trained my husband well.

21. Who, according to you, is the most overrated writer?
Danielle Steel

22. What brings a smile to your face instantly?
my nieces sweet little voice in the background when I'm talking to my sister and I hear, "I want to talk to Auntie Robyn!" :)

23. What is one word that you say a lot?
Lately I've noticed that I say "right" a lot...like when I'm talking to someone and I agree with what they're saying, instead of saying yah or something, I say, "right." Not sure where that came from?!?

24. What kind of haircut do you prefer?
the cheap kind...but I'm opting for no haircut these days (even cheaper) and trying to grow it out again...I miss my pony tail!!

25. What are you going to do after this?
pay some bills

26. What do you do when you are feeling low or terribly depressed?
talk to my husband, call my mom, eat a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, or any combination of the above

27. What makes you go wild?
not a real wild gal to be honest, though I know what everyone's thinking (or at least what my first thought was) and it probably wouldn't be appropriate to write about that on my blog!!

28. What are your favorite movies?
The Notebook, P.S. I Love You, Coyote Ugly, Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken, Goonies, The Holiday, Braveheart

29. What inspires you?
The people who I'm closest to inspire me very much...I've been so blessed to have such amazingly wonderful parents, sisters, and grandparents and the best husband EVER! I also feel inspired and incredibly close to God when I'm surrounded by his beautiful creation, like the ocean or Yosemite.

30. What do your friends call you most commonly?
just Robyn....Trav calls me Robdawg, Mer calls me Robynito?!, Matt and my family call me Rob sometimes or Matt calls me girl, I had a co-worker once who always called me Batman, and when I was little my mom and dad called me Robby Bosko

31. Do you prefer coffee or tea?
I like both...I'm kind of in a tea stage right now though...Chamomile!

32. Which other blogs do you visit?

Chocolate Divinity (one of my favorite homemade dessert recipes from mamma mia which may warrant a post all its own sometime in the next few weeks), Ben & Jerry's Dublin Mudslide and/or S'mores ice cream, Snickers, Oreo Ice Cream dessert, pecan pie, and I've been really into this recipe for homemade hot fudge lately. I seriously LOVE sweets and ice cream is my major weakness!!! YUM!
