So I woke up this morning to our chandelier hanging about 9 inches from our glass dining room table, just by the decorative chain, scary! Luckily Danny took it down making it safe, then ran to 3 home improvement stores, and a lighting store to try to find the part that cracked and finally had to order it online. Had to share the story since it freaked me out all day, just think if it fell all the way I know the table would have been distroyed and who knows about the wiring, thank god it didnt!! Sorry didn't think to snap a picture until after Dan took it down. Cant believe a chandelier can do that, its not that old...

Oh that would freak me out too!
You asked me how I can tell who is reading my blog. Sitemeter. I don't check it often but it's very handy and easy to use. You can see who referred people to your blog and where the readers live and all sorts of curious stuff. It;s hilarious to see what random google searches bring people to your blog sometimes.
OMG you and Danny look like Ashton Kutcher (yeah, I can't spell his name and I'm not googling it) and Kathryn Hegl from the movies "Killers!" Do you hear that all the time? You guys look like Ken and Barbie...I'm so jealous and in love with you all at the same time!
Your blog is so pretty...sorry about the chandelier. Glad nobody was standing directly beneath i!So my friend Ingrid (and I can say that...we've totally Skyped) over at her adorably pink blog Avery and Me tagged me in a fun bloggy-buddy game to "get to know your fellow blogger". I think today is the perfect time to respond, since I'm kind of busy and emotionally drained. It's a quick recharge for me and I don't have to come up with a topic!
So here goes:
1. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream? I am complicated. It changes from time to time, but I will admit that twice in the last 6 weeks I have had a double scoop of Ben and Jerry's Bonnaroo Buzz and Chocolate Therapy. I think Chocolate Therapy says it all.
2. What was the worst job you've ever had? Although I'm cheesy and think every job is a learning experience, it would have to be selling Cutco Knives. You know, like, the door to door presentation/referral based business. It was kind of high pressure and cultish, and they didn't pay me my last commission check, which caused me to literally flip my lid in front of my brand new college suitemates. After that I became known as "the one who kicked her shoe through the window."
3. Best vacation you ever took? My honeymoon. Best decision we ever made was to stay stateside and visit San Fran, drive up Highway 1 along the rocky beaches, cross over to Napa and Sonoma, and end up in a very high end boutique hotel in Sausalito. AWESOME vacation, and we're considering a repeat for our big anniversary next year.
4. What's your dream job/career? My dream career does not exist. I would LOVE to be a wedding planner/florist/decorator. I would be SO AWESOME at it. I deisgned and made the flowers for my own and my sis' wedding. But unfortunately, I gave up working weekends long ago and I don't know many brides that want to get married Monday-Friday b/t the hours of 9-5, so it really is a dream job!
5. Who was your favorite teacher and why? I had some really great elementary teachers, but I have to say my high school drama teacher, Doug Patterson, made the biggest impression on me. He took me to the big apple for the first time and introduced us to really cutting edge theatre (back then) like Rent and Stomp. I directed a full-length play in high school with minimal faculty participation and just had a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about myself.
Now I'm supposed to nominate some people to participate. I'm going to go out on a limb here and actually nominate a NON-MOM-BLOGGER!
1) Melissa from In The Short Rows (if you want a glimpse into the life of a real farmer, here it is.)
2) Also, my newest reader who is responsible for introducing me to the Working Mommy Network, D from Dearinger Diary
3) Finally, Christine from A Mama Stork Knows, b/c OMG! You guys HAVE to click and go see this pic of 10 month old Rosemary... it!
