I've been tagged {twice}!

I've seen these lists floating around blogland and now I've been tagged!
Twice in fact!
Once by the lovely Hillary
and also by the wonderful Darby!
Thanks ladies and go visit their blogs because they are both wonderful!

Here it goes:
The Rules:
1. Post the rules
2. Post 11 fun facts about yourself
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create 11 new questions for the people you tag
4. Tag 11 people and link them in your post
5. Let them know you’ve “tagged” them
1. I am obsessed with Diet Coke.
2. The Mister and I have been together for 12 years.  We started dating when I was a freshman and he was a senior. Scandalous. 
3. If I could somehow make a scarf out of Floyd's ears life would be even more wonderful.
4. I really love to admire makeup but I typically have no idea what to do with any of it.
5. I could eat taco salad everyday of my life and be completely happy.

9. Im adopted! (more on this another day)
10. I do 97% of all of my shopping at Target.
11. I love to cook - my recipe and cookbook collection is getting a little nuts!

Questions from Hillary for me to answer:
1.Do you tend to follow fashion trends, or stick to a more classic look?  How do you define your style? I do follow trends but I like to put my own twists on things. I'd say my style is somewhat trendy but comfy.
2-Whats your go to piece in your closet right now? Skinny jeans and Target sweaters
3-What is one thing you wish you could go out and buy right this minute. A whole new wardrobe (I guess that's more than one thing)...
4-Who is your celebrity style icon? I really like Blake Lively's style
5-Do you wish you could know what your life looks like 5 years from now, or would you rather it be a surprise? Well, I really like to plan things but I think not knowing is part of the fun of life.
6- Who is your favorite musical artist? Love me some Taylor Swift
 7-What is your favorite Broadway play? I haven't seen many but I'm dying to see Mary Poppins
8- Dogs or cats? Dogs, always.
9- What was your favorite board game growing up? Mall Madness or Hungry Hungry Hippos

10-Would you rather not be able to talk, or not be able to walk for the rest of your life? Walk, I guess.  At least I could still wheel around.
11- What is your biggest fear in life? Losing my friends and family.

Questions from Darby for me to answer:
 1. Why did you start blogging? At the time my job was not allowing me to be very creative and I thought it would be a great creative outlet.  Turns out it is and I love it!
2. Do you have a bucket list? If so what are two things on it? I do (a mental one, at least) 1. travel abroad 2. Walk into an airport and buy tickets to somewhere, unplanned.
3. What is one thing you can’t live without? See my #1... Diet Coke. And Mister. And Floyd.
4. What was the last book you read? Did you like it? 'A Secret Kept' - I did, very good!
 5. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? San Diego, hands down.
6. What dish or recipe have you always wanted to make, but have been too scared to? Risotto!
7. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Depends but usually morning person. Once I get tired at night I'm done for.
8. What is your pet peeve? Too loud TVs.
9. What is your idea of a perfect vacation? Going back to where we went for our honeymoon-Secrets resort in Riviera Maya...and having all of our friends there
 10. If you were given a million dollars, how would you spend it? Clothes. And pay off all of my loved ones debts. And buy 3 more basset hounds.
