Ten on Tuesday Reawakened

It has been a long time since I've participated in a Ten on Tuesday because I've been so busy. Thanks to traveling all weekend I'm in a bit of a writer's block, so I thought this would kick start my brain and refresh my blogging inspiration.  You should link up, too.

Ten on Tuesday @ Roots and Rings

1. What is your favorite Pixar movie? Have you seen all of them? I don't know if I can say which movies are Pixar and which are Disney, so I'll copy Chelsea and say I loved Finding Nemo. "Just keep swimming" was basically a law school mantra.

2. Do you enjoy soccer? I would LIKE to enjoy soccer, but I just don't understand it! It counts backwards, people are running all over the place... it's just so complicated. I guess I'll stick to Football for now (which is funny, because if I lived anywhere else football would BE soccer). 3. Are you musical? Nope. Most of my dad's side of the family is. I got the creative writing aspect, but not the music.  4. How many push-ups can you do? Probably two. haha 5. Did you have braces when you were younger? Yes, but only on my top, front four teeth. Then they held my side teeth in, causing those adult teeth to get screwed up. So I had braces again during my last year of law school. The last thing I wanted was braces as a lawyer so I went on a fast track, that basically involved being tortured by the orthodontist every two weeks.

Me in law school with braces. I'm sure I got carded every bar I went into during that time frame.
(My life was a lot more fun back then, too haha)

6. Summer or winter? Coffee or tea? Wedges or flats? Summer. DEFINITELY!Coffee! I really only like tea if I'm in a chinese restaurant. I don't know what they do differently, but I can't recreate it.Oh man... I don't LOVE wedges, but flats aren't my fave either. I just got my first pair of wedges last week from the Boyfriend for Mother's Day (what a sweetie). They're a lot of fun, but since I have many more pairs of flats I guess I'll go with flats.
7. Do you buy new or used cars? I have bought one used car and one new car. I went with new this time because I needed a commuter car in Big City, and the interest rate on new cars was so low it actually made most cars even out over the time frame to pay them off. I miss my Jeep, but I love getting 35 MPG instead of 14 MPG, even though now in Small Town the 4 wheel drive is pretty handy in winter. (See above, I pick summer.)

new and old

8. Are you afraid of needles? I don't know if I'm afraid of needles so much as I'm afraid of pain. Ow! I also donated blood once and went into shock because I weighed just enough. The doctor told me I wasn't allowed to donate again until I weighed significantly more than necessary. Let's hope that never happens, as much as I'd love to help.  9. Do you get cranky when you’re tired or hungry? I don't think so. The Boyfriend on the other hand... watch out! 10. Write your newest favorite recipe. I don't know if I have a new favorite. I'm trying to start making a new recipe every two weeks so we'll see how that goes. Last week, I made spaghetti with elk (per the Boyfiend's request), and it was 1 pound elk, 1 pound ground beef, a LOT of extra seasonings and a bottle of pasta sauce. It mostly covered up the elk so I liked it ;).
