Amber from The Literary Phoenix threw some questions my way in the form of the “Unique Blogger Award,” which is basically an opportunity for bloggers to connect to each other. I haven’t participated in any of these “awards” in a while, but I figured it’d give you all the chance to get to know me outside of bookish things (GASP! yes, there is a me outside of books apparently). So read on to see her questions and my answers to them!

Who is your idol in life?

Yikes! This is a tough question. It’s a pretty cheesy answer, but I’d probably say my husband (as a fun aside, today is our 14th dating anniversary!). He’s incredibly smart, level-headed, and is easy-going. Basically all the things I’m not? So I aspire to be more like him every day. (The photo to the right is us at his graduation from physical therapy school!)

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

The best part about being an adult is that I CAN go anywhere in the world!! I think the next place I’d like to visit is Japan (because cats and Disney’s Tokyo Sea, duh). And I’d like to visit eastern Europe. And Australian with my husband (I’ve been, he hasn’t). And ALL OVER the United States, because there are a ton of places I haven’t been to yet.

Tell me about your first pet.

She wasn’t necessarily my first pet, but she was one of my earliest pets. Her name was Tabitha and she was a pretty little black-and-white kitty. I’m pretty sure she’s half the reason I’m obsessed with fluffy cats now. I’ve included a hilarious picture of she and I when I was much younger. Needless to say, I don’t think she liked me as much as I like her…
