questions from Mrs. Robinsonwhat color are your toenails right now? a very pretty sparkly green blue that i picked up at cvs!
what's your favorite joke (or at least one that you always remember)? you know how some people just aren't joke funny? that would be me. i am terrible at telling jokes, my timing is always off. i think i'm a funny person just not joke funny. that's what i have matt for :)
how old were you when you had your "first love"? i thought i was in love in high school but that was more of an extreme like. matt is definitely my first true love :)
what is one thing you always find money for, regardless of the budget you're on? mousse. i know that sounds crazy but my hair is VERY curly. i must have mousse. 
who was your favorite cartoon character or princess when you were growing up? i was obsessed with both she-ra and rainbow bright :)
if you lost your phone and somebody was looking through your pictures, would they find anything embarrassing or inappropriate?  only of the dogs! and maybe one of matt in a sombrero ;)
how many tattoos do you have?  none i'm a big chicken only have two ear piercings and that is all i will ever have!
do you know what slapsgiving is?  if so..you need to e-mail me so that we officially become bff's.  :)  haha of course i do! if someone doesn't they should get netflix just so they can watch himym. seriously you can watch the whole entire show in 2 months i bet. and it is so worth it! (and the new season is available on the cbs website. go now what are you waiting for?)
do you & your significant other pass gas in front of each other? matt is a gas machine and at this point yeah i've definitely passed gas in front of him. something i would never have done when dating. but, when you live with someone those things just come out!
what do you think your worst personality/character flaw is? doubting myself and what i know. and not thinking i'm good enough.  
do you know the muffin man? no, but if you're ever in pawleys island you should check out the pawleys island bakery their muffins are a-mazing :)

i don't have anyone to tag but if i think of anyone or find anyone i will tag them! and i'll come up with my questions then ;)
