    oh p.s.
    duh dude... paris in the 1920's... dream life!

    the questions:
    1. what movie best describes your life?
    Amelie. She cares for people deeply and finds joy in lifes quirks!

    2. if you could have coffee with one of the beatles, who would it be?
    Paul McCartney. I'd be too intimidated by the others. But I did see a pretty hilarious video of Yoko... so many John with a plus one. Hahahaha. What a weird answer.

    3. books: fiction or non-fiction?
    Non! I love reading stories about peoples lives. I read a book about Marie Antoinette in elementary school and was fascinated. Still am.

    4. what's your favorite meal of the day + why?
    Dessert, duh. Why? Because it's dessert and it's not a meal but I'm living the dream!!

    5. favorite place of retreat?
    The Viceroy in Palm Springs. My husband and I went there for my birthday this year and I have never felt more happy or relaxed in my life. It's a black and white striped haven in the sun.

    6. rain or shine?
    Rain.... even though I just talked about loving the palm springs sun. I'm just happier in a cardigan and scarf.

    7. what's your go-to record?
    Funeral by Arcade Fire.

    8. favorite tv show, past or present, go!
    Hmm.... I don't love The Office like I used to, but there is something so comforting about watching the first few seasons.

    9. what's your favorite era + why?
    THE 1920'S! That answer was the easiest one for me. I love everything about it. The fashion, the exploration and boom of entertainment, the adventure, the lingo, the everything. Love it love it love it.
