This post brought to you by the past.

Hi! It's me, but I'm not actually home yet. Even though you are reading this post on Monday, I wrote and published it on Friday, because Blogger finally has a scheduled posting feature, and it is so great. So while you are reading this, Torsten and I are actually on a plane, most likely somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean.

So! Your job during the last day of my absence? No, it's not highly original. Tons of other bloggers have been doing it. And I love reading it on their blogs. So now I'm going to join in.

Please, ask me a question. Anything you want. And then all the questions will be waiting for me when I get home and I will get to work answering them later this week.

I'll be back tomorrow, in real time, with photos and trip recap. (London! And in-laws! And everything else that is fascinating!)

In the meantime, I hope you all had a great week! I am excited to see and answer all your questions.

Okay, here's an easy one:

What is your favorite restaurant, and what do you typically order there?

lfar said...

I recently solidified my own answer to this question, so I ask it to you:

In two words, describe your most important virtues.

(For me, it's to be efficient and fair. Other options to throw out on the table: honest, passionate, competitive, loving, compassionate, etc)

Hope your trip overseas was fabulous! My question to you ... What are the odds all eligible players will return to UNC in the fall? :-)

Lacey Bean said...

Since you're wedding is going to be a purple masterpiece, I want to know how long you've had the obsession with the color purple, and how did it start?

(When I was little I was OBSESSED with pink, and my room looked like the inside of a pepto bismol bottle - haha!)

Hope said...

What is one of your favourite movie moments and why?

p.s Is that a stupid question?

Pickles & Dimes said...

If you only had one day to live, how would you spend it?

The Tomball Three said...

My question is : How many countries have you visited and what are they?

Chelsea Talks Smack said...

And since you are just returning from overseas, if you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?

Alice said...

dreamgrrl said...

Okay wedding-fest 2008: If you could have 1 elaborate expense at your wedding and NOT have to pay for it - what would it be??

sid said...

What was your childhood dream? I hoping your answer is something like ... "I wanted to be a princess". That was my childhood dream.

Alexa said...

what is the most outrageous thing you witnessed while in germany?

Rebecca said...

Welcome home! Can't wait to hear about everything!

Rebecca said...

Oh wait, a question:

Although there are many variables in the when to have a family equation, if you had to select the age you would be when you first become a mom - what is it?

Marie said...

Ok lots of questions about the wedding so I'm going to ask you one that has to do with in-laws:

If you could tell your soon to be mother-in-law what you really think of her (without any repercussions), what would you say?

poodlegoose said...

If you could pick any career, completely void of repercussions of any sort or disgruntled family members, what would it be?

Mine would probably be at a bank. Not.

Lara said...

Hmm.
(1) If you were a doughnut, what kind would you be?
(2) If you could have a drink with one dead famous person of your choosing (but they wouldn't be dead, they'd be randomly alive for purposes of drinking with you), who would you choose?
(3) How do you have time to read all the blogs that you read, little missy???
(4) If you had to change your name to something foreign (like Lupe or Annika or something like that), what would you change it to?
(5) What's your favorite zoo animal and why?
(6) How did you and Torsten meet?

the frog princess said...

Okay, two questions:

1. What is your favourite German food? Please describe in detail.

2. Based on this last trip, what is one touristy thing that I absolutely must see/do while I'm in London in July? :)

sally said...

Sara Brown queserasera.org recently did a post about regret. Is there anything you regret?

Banana said...

Welcome Back!

what location do you think of when someone says to close your eyes and go to your happy place?

Kat said...

What is the one thing about Torsten that drives you the nuttiest?

RA said...

What are you reading now? Is there a so-called classic book that you had to read but hated?

I'm working on The Opposite of Fate by Amy Tan. And I really didn't like The Catcher in the Rye.

Ami said...

I think I'm delurking here, so firstly: Hi!

So now my question: What is your guiltiest pleasure?

bacioni said...

I hope your trip was ausgezeichnet!

Question: Have you decided on the wedding fragrance yet (or at least narrowed the choices down?)

L Sass said...

Have I asked you about your eighth grade outfit yet?

If so, please describe.

If not, when did you know that Torsten was "The One" ? How?

Hiya, I'm Kristie. said...

Gosh, I've missed so so much! I hope your trip was awesome and I can't wait to see pictures. :)

Swistle said...

I would like to know some of the baby names you like. But I know that's not something everyone wants to share, in case of SNITCHING!

So if that's a no-go, then I'd like to know if you're hoping your biological children will inherit your curly hair.

And a wedding question: When the bride and groom leave, sometimes there is rice, or birdseed, or bubbles, or something like that. Will you be having something thrown/blown at you?

And a household question: Do you like SCENTED things? Like, when you buy laundry detergent, do you get the scented kind or the unscented? Do you like scented fabric softeners, scented soaps, scented drawer liners, etc.?

cady said...

i can't wait to hear about your trip!

here are my questions:
how did you and torsten meet?
what is your biggest pet peeve?

a little bird said...

amber said...

Oooh, I can't wait to hear about your trip - and while your guest posts were fun and entertaining, I've missed the real thing!

Hazel said...

My question: Can we see a picture of your engagement ring?

Lara said...

I've got another one for ya: are you a religious person? Feel free to expound upon why or why not.

Princess Pointful said...

I wanna know about you and Torsten's first date!

bren j. said...

How did you end up in DC?
I know, I know...highly original question, but I'm tired and can't think of anything intelligent. Hope you had a good trip though.

nicoleantoinette said...

Was there a single moment when you KNEW Torsten was the one? If yes, tell us allll about it.

If no? um... What's your favorite thing about yourself?
