Old School Blogging – November

November 14, 2013 by Elaine

Y’all.  This is a good one. 🙂  I dug this baby up from May of 2008! 
 
Now THAT is Old School! Ha!
 
It’s just a cute little question/answer meme that went around back then and about all I have time for right now.  I hope you will link up with me and the fabulous Brittany of That’s Vandy for this fun list of questions.  Let’s get to know each other EVEN better! 🙂

And don’t forget to tweet with us @elainea and @BrittanyVandy, hashtag #OSBlog!  
 
 
 
Where is your cell phone? In the kitchen, I think

 

Your significant other?  Is the love of my life

 

 
Your hair? Just got done! YAY! 
Your mother? Is so sweet and a wonderful cook.  And instilled the love of God, baking and travel in me.


Your father?
 Is funny and wise and gives amazing hugs.  Oh, and he still wears sideburns on his face.  It’s so cute.

Your favorite thing? My family 

 

Your dream last night? Do not remember



Your favorite drink? Coffee with a bit of half and half



Your dream/goal?  To travel to many places



The room you are in? The “man cave” a.k.a. home office



Your fear? Tornadoes



Where do you want to be in six years? I’d like to be back in Texas, maybe in our “forever home” by then…



Where were you last night? Right here, editing photos, working on some stuff  for my my NEW blog design (yes, coming soon!)


What are you not? An accountant, thank God! 
Muffins? Yes! But very rarely…  
One of your wish list items? A new camera body 
Where you grew up? Austin, Texas

The last thing you did? Ate lunch



What are you wearing? A long-sleeved black henley, boot cut, dark wash jeans, leopard print flats and my new glasses! 🙂




Your TV? Is on probably too much



Your pets? One hamster, Cinnamon Cupcake, or “Couples”.



Your computer? Dell laptop hooked up to a much bigger  monitor for photo editing, etc.



Your life? Just as I’d always hoped. 
Your mood? Hurried, but good. 
Missing someone? My friends in Texas, and my pal Corrie from college and my parents 
Your Car? Hondy Odyssey, affectionately known as The Mom Van 
Something you are not wearing? Socks 
Favorite store? Marshall’s/T.J. Maxx



Your summer? This last one was SO good.  Loved traveling toCanda and going to my H.S. reunion!




Like someone? How old are we again?



Your favorite color? Aqua



When was the last time you laughed? Earlier today, at K’s silliness



Last time you cried? About a week and a half ago…



What is one thing on your To-Do list?  Edit photo session photos!
(how precious is THIS little guy???)

Okay, now it’s YOUR turn to go Old School!  Copy and paste the questions into your post, add any pics you want (or not) and go for it!


Also, I tag Nicole, Meagan and Carolyn to join in!

Linky is open until end of the day on November 23rd!

    New blog design – excited for you!
    New glasses – so cool.
    Our TV is on probably a bit too much too. Oops.

    Love blog design. Must get my hair down. Your new hair and glasses are gorgeous! You are gorgeous. And I’m glad I am not an accountant too. I’m already dreading our taxes! Thanks so much for inviting me to be your cohost!

    November 14, 2013 at 1:18 pm

    I have a Honda Odyssey too. I swear it’s sexy.
    And I want a new camera too. So badly.
    And. I used to have a wicked fear of tornados. It went away, though!

    • Elaine says

      November 17, 2013 at 3:26 pm

      Thank you so much!! You saw the old design because this JUST got done yesterday! 😉

      • Kat says

        November 17, 2013 at 3:57 pm

        Oh! Yay! I saw earlier comments talking about your new design so I assumed I missed it somehow.

    November 19, 2013 at 7:25 pm

    I thought I commented on this already but apparently I make up comments in my head and don’t follow through. Anyway, I really enjoyed filling this survey out and reading all the other ones that people filled, so thanks a bunch for doing this! I’ll definitely play along next time, too!

  28. Kate @ Mommy Monologues says

    November 19, 2013 at 7:32 pm

    Ok, I want your outfit! I love the glasses & I swear by Hondas! I’ve been driving one since 1998, they are so great!

    Thanks for hosting. That was fun!
    I love lists like these. It makes for an easy blogging day.
    I’m glad I’m not an accountant either. And I’d love to travel all over the world someday.
    Also, that shot of your family on the tree branch is awesome. I can’t believe you got them all to sit still on it long enough for a picture!
