1. January 25th is National Opposites Day. 'They' say opposites attract...do you agree, and if so is that a good thing? Or do you subscribe more to a 'birds of a feather' philosophy? 

I think you need both in your life. I know me & Hubby are a little of that. We have so many things we are totally polar opposites on & I think that helps us when we need the other end of the spectrum.  If one of us needs the optimist side or the other needs the realistic point of view... if one of us needs the push to be more outgoing while the other needs the hold back to be more reserved.  But at the base of things, we have the same core values - so I think it all works.

2. Something you're glad to have behind you? Something you're glad is ahead of you? 

I'm glad to have the holidays behind me. They stress me out man... It always feels like a breath of fresh air when you get all the decorations up & your house feels all put together again.

I'm glad Spring is ahead of us... 54 more days!  & I've already started to notice more daylight in the evening. At least 30 minutes more of it - & it feels GLORIOUS!

3. Your favorite hot food? Cold food? Are you a fan of breakfast for dinner? 

I dont know that I have a favorite hot food. I just know if its SUPPOSED to be hot, I want it hot.  Same with cold.  Favorite food is like picking a favorite color to me - I cant do it. I'm very indecisive. 

As for breakfast for dinner - LOVE IT. We do it seldom so it feels like a treat to us when we do it. & when we do the breakfast for dinner thing, we go full out. Biscuits, eggs, hash browns - ALL THE CARBS!!!   If you're going to do it - do it right

4. Are you someone who always arrives to appointments/events early or do you tend to run late? Last thing you were late for? 

I get such anxiety at the thought of being late to something. I hate it. My dad raised me that if I'm 5 minutes early to an appointment, I'm already late.... on the flip side & going back to question 1 - Hubby is notorious for being late.  He hates getting somewhere early where he has to wait so he'll prefer to roll in right as something has already started.  DRIVES .... ME... INSANE. 

Me with Hubby every time we go somewhere

Last thing we were late for was Christmas at my sister in laws... we hit two HUGE accidents & it took us nearly 2 hours to arrive.  I know I was green in the face by the time we got through all the traffic, starts & stops & detours & twists & turns.

5. "What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?" John Steinbeck....Your thoughts? 

Makes sense.  Can you really appreciate something if you never have to go without?  When its the hottest of summer, I look so forward to the cooler days... when its freezing outside & everything is iced over, I look forward to that heat of the sun again.  Value in each.  

Though, I do think I could appreciate it if it could stay a comfortable 70 degrees every day...I think I could live with that.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Does anyone else need a pretty water bottle or glass/cup to drink water more? Just me?  I've just ordered some new Tervis cups to try & give me a boost to try & get more water.  I'm like a child that needs to be bribed.
