2. NAME YOUR FAVORITE DESSERT: anything lemon. Lemon bars, lemon meringue pie, lemon pudding. I'm obsessed with lemon and so was my dad. It's one of the very many things we had in common.
3. WHAT TICKS ME OFF: Bigotry. Religious zealots. We are all entitled to our opinion, but that's all it is. And just like ass holes, we all have them. No one really has the answers for sure.

Cats. Simba to be exact. He is one handsome baby boy! But both Bob and Simba are pretty cute!

Losing my mom or Mason. I love them more than anyone else in the world. I also don't like thinking about when Cathy retires. It already makes me teary eyed and it isn't for a year and a half. :(

9. WHAT IS PERFECTION: my choirs. my church. my friends.

2. I recently had lap band surgery. It's finally starting to work and I'm very excited to see the results.
3. I have been a choir nerd since I was in seventh grade. The saddest years of my life were when I wasn't singing and I am so blessed to be in two amazing choirs now. Even if they do take up an exorbitant amount of my time.
4. I lost my dad in August of 2010. Not a day goes by that I don't miss him. I wish he were still here but I know he's proud of me and I feel his presence often.
5. I love to travel so much that I moved back in with my mom so I could have the money to do some traveling over the next few years.
6. One thing that makes me very sad is that I am so busy these days, I barely have time to listen to new music. I love music so much and I want to hear so much more than I have time for!!

4. Aries. For the most part yes. I'm not disorganized, though.

7. Greece.
8. Being a good friend.
9. I'm hoping I'm doing that now by being a part of the "green" movement.
