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.

  2. 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)

  4. 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!)

    (1) If you were a doughnut, what kind would you be?

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

    So now my question: What is your guiltiest pleasure?

    ReplyDelete
  25. I hope your trip was ausgezeichnet!

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

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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?

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

    ReplyDelete
  28. 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.?
