1.  My favorite grade in school was either 2nd or 5th grade.  Both were awesome years and the ones I remember the most.  Plus, the first day of 5th grade was when my best friend & I met.

2.  My favorite teacher was ...I was lucky and had a lot of favorite teachers all through out grade school and even Jr. High.

3.  The highest level of education I have completed is High School.  Lame, I know but it is what it is.

4. School lunches for me were usually time to hang out with my friends.  It had less to do with eating and more to do with gossiping and talking about boys.

5. The amount of money you'd have to pay me to go back to high school would be One billion trillion million gazillion dollars.  As in THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE WORLD TO MAKE ME GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL!!

6. A few things that will always remind me of going back to school are: Lunch boxes, crayons, new shoes at the end of Summer.

7.  The first day of school was always extremely stressing.  I was a very shy, nervous kid who didn't handle change well.  I think I felt like throwing up the few days leading up to school all the way through the first day or two of school once it started.

1.  Over this labor day weekend I will be driving up to Eagar with Irish to visit Crystal & fam (they moved up there about a month ago).  I'm excited & a bit nervous at the same time.  I'll be introducing them for the first time & it will be mine & Irish's first trip together.

2.  With the political debates going on right now, my thoughts are that I should be paying more attention to it all.  And by more I mean start paying attention to it all.  All the political BS between the parties & those running is far too annoying to me & it distracts from the issues.

3.  Today has been loooong and it's not even close to being over.  I am working on almost 4 hours of sleep so that's not helping.  Luckily it's Friday.

4. The best thing I've cooked recently was BLT salad.  Soooo good & perfect for Summer.

5. The last thing I bought was gas & oil.

6. The best movie I saw this summer was um...The Avengers.

7.  The best book I read this summer was Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts.

1.  Today is a great day because it’s Friday & I’m wearing new shoes.

2.  Tomorrow I will get to hang out with some of my most favorite girls.  We’re celebrating the April birthday’s  with pedi’s, lunch and shopping. 

3.  My favorite time of day is usually morning time  because  the day is new, it’s usually quiet and the sunlight is perfect.

4. Sometimes you just have to buy new shoes instead of groceries.

5.  A song that I just can't get enough of lately is  “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Goyte.  It has the added bonus of Kimbra, who I, also, can’t get enough of lately.

6.  My favorite accessory is my silver branch looking ring that I wear on the ring finger of my right hand.

7.  My favorite thing about this week was buying Jason Mraz tickets.

1.   My favorite place I've ever traveled to is I think it may have to be Virginia.  The East Coast is about as different from the Southwest  as you can get.  All the historic places I visited were mind blowing.

2.  Ireland is somewhere I'd love to go someday.

3.  I pass the time on a plane (or bus, or car ride or train) by well, it’s different for each mode of transportation.  Plane, I sit clinching my fists & teeth, keep my eyes closed as much as possible and I avoid looking out the windows  at all costs.  I haven’t traveled (far) by bus and any buses I’ve been on have been fun trips so I guess I pass the time goofing off with friends.  Cars I talk to whoever I’m with, eat sunflower seeds and sleep if I can.  Not real sure about trains.  Sadly, boats aren’t listed but I’m adding them…boats I try to avoid.  If I’m on one it’s a scenic thing and I’m doing whatever it is you do on boats and getting sea sick.  So the breakdown is I’m not the best traveler .

4.  My three must-haves when I travel are sunflower seeds, music (iPod, CD’s & now my iPhone and a blanket.

5.  My favorite travel companion is my sisters & my BFF, Karie.

6.  The craziest thing that ever happened to me while traveling is the time I took Dramamine before the plane ride back from VA to AZ.  It made me totally CRAZY!  I would have rather thrown up the whole plane ride from Virginia Beach to Chicago.  IT. WAS. THAT. BAD.  Then when we finally got to Phoenix we couldn’t land and then when we could we had to wait on the tarmac for over an hour because we couldn’t get to a gate.  If I had an uzie I would have blasted my way off the plane & taken out anyone who even looked at me wrong.  Dramamine totally made my claustrophobia a million times worse and added about a hundred other aggravators to the list.

7.  The most exotic food I've ever tried while traveling is I’m not sure if I’ve ever tried anything exotic while traveling.  It seemed pretty exotic at the time but it wasn’t, it was just different…while in Virginia I was CRAVING Mexican food so we finally tracked down a Mexican restaurant and what they served was NOT the type of Mexican we in Arizona eat.  I don’t think I’d ever had black beans before that day.  How the East Coast does without pinto beans & REAL Mexican food is beyond me!

8.  If I could live anywhere else, I'd live in California, maybe.  Some place by the ocean.

9.  I have been to 12 (stayed in 9 but been to 12) states in the U.S.

1.   The last thing I ate was  Filiberto’s tacos & a tostada.

2.   The last song I listened to was  “Dear Jack” by Jack’s Mannequin.

3.  Using the letters in my name I can spell  {Kerri} err, rike, irk, rire, erk.

4.  If I had to dress in one color for the rest of my life I would pick  black.  It’s slimming.

5.  If you were to look in my bag right now you'd find  my wallet, an Ulta gift card, keys, 3 different chapsticks floating around free, 2 packs of gum, a day planner, a little note pad of paper, travel pack of Kleenex, my camra case (with camera & converter drive), 2 reminder notes (1 shopping list, 1 of things to do), loose change that fell out of my wallet, a Fossel makeup bag (with lotion, powder, 3 different lip gloss, nail clippers, nail file & a little leather dolphin pouch (from Italy my sister got me filled with hair ties, bobby pins & barretts) and a chipmunk pouch (gift with medication in it).

6.  When I finish filling in the blanks I'm going to  pay bills.

7.  My all time favorite song to dance to is  something I cannot answer.  There is no way I can pick an ALL TIME FAVORITE song.  I’ll just list songs that come to mind that I can’t listen to without dancing instead… “Hella Good” No Doubt, “Pump It” Black Eyed Peas, “Apple Bottom Jeans” Tpain, “Yeh” Usher.

1.   My favorite thing about this week was/is Monday because I had the day off and I spent it with my BFF, Karie, shopping & eating THE. BEST. TORTILLA. SOUP. EVER! Plus, we went trick-or-tweeting with her kids and had adult talk with our old friend Andy.

2.   Colder weather makes me super cold.  Anything under 85% is cold to me.  As long as I have a sweater or blanket I’m good though.

3.  Three things that make me terribly happy as of late are my three nut job cats.

4. If I could only wear one kind of shoe for the rest of my life, I'd choose flip flops.  It’s like not wearing shoes.

5.  My personality type is INFJ…shy & neurotic being the biggest most dominant traits.  I honestly didn’t need a test to tell me that but it was interesting anyway. I did my test at learnMyself.com.

6.  I have a serious problem resisting sales.  Especially if there is something on sale for $5 or less.  Yes, sales are my weakness along with food.  I have a hard time resisting food.  Yum!

7.  My favorite color to wear is black.  Black is always forgiving.

1.   When I was a kid I wanted to be a racecar driver, just like Mario Andretti when I grew up.

2.   As an adult, my dream job would be a lady who lunches.

3.  When I was younger I wanted to be just like the first person I can think of was Punky Brewster.

4. The childhood Halloween costume that I remember most was when I was Strawberry Shortcake.

5.  My favorite childhood toy was these little family of squirrels that were part finger puppets & squeaked and they came with a soft barrel purse thing that was their hollow tree log home.  I have no idea what they were called.

6.  The time I got into the biggest amount of trouble when I was a kid was when I …honestly, I wasn’t a kid who ever got into trouble, especially when I lived with my grandparents.  I think when I was with my mom I went with some friends across the street to this dirt field that had horses & a horse trailer.  That’s the only time I can remember my mom grounding me.

7.  I get daily inspiration from blogs I read, nature and my family & friends.

1.   My current obsession is watching Criminal Minds.

2.  Watching animals out  in nature makes me happy.

3.  My greatest strength is my ability to not give into peer pressure.

5.  My life is a bit boring right now.

6.  In high school I was pretty much a wall flower.

7.  When I'm super tired I end up reaching the point that I am not tired anymore and I become a bit punch drunk & silly.

1.   The best thing I did all week was eat my sisters yummy tacos.

2.   My sisters yummy tacos make me super happy.

3.  Pets are INSANE! But totally fun & loveable .

4.  My sisters yummy tacos are is the best thing about my life.  Just joking…my friends, family & cats are is the best thing about my life.

5.  With the cooler weather I am looking forward to not sweating to death when I drive around, being able to wear sweaters all day long & outside, boots and jeans.

6.  Something that's on my "wish list" right now is a laptop.  A new car probably should have been the first to poop in mind for the top of my list but didn’t.  Oh, priorities!  LOL.

7.  This weekend I am going to clean my apartment in preperation for my sisters coming into town, gather stuff for a yard sale my sister is wanting to have, and a cram session of watching Criminal Minds Season 3 so I can take it back Sunday (it’s on a waiting list so it can’t be renewed).  So exciting, I know!

1. My go to outfit for a dress-up occasion like a wedding is I don’t have a go to outfit.  If I have an occasion I am going to I go out and buy a new outfit. 

2. This week has been a short one.  I only worked 4 days (I had Tuesday off).  It’s the second week I’ve had a 4 day week.  Wishing I could have 4 day weeks all the time.

3. When it's dinnertime and I'm feeling lazy I'll usually eat Roman noodles (only the spicy kind in the green packages that I can only find at Fry’s.

4. My favorite pair of shoes are my prettyprettypretty Mark Fisher’s.  Super cute.  Super hot.  And super comfy.  They look like this…  

5. A random item that I own that is completely unnecessary, but that I could never part with is …you know, I have no idea how to answer this.

6. My favorite person is my BFF, Karie.

7.  If I were going to write my own blank it would say I don’t know now to answer this one either.  Which is why I do Fill in the Blank Fridays.  Lame, I know.

1. My favorite color is lavander.  At least, that’s what I always say because it’s easy but I love color.  Lots of color.  Just about every shade of purple will do.  Blue & green too.  You can throw in pink, as well.  Where does coral fit in, cuz I love it & you can group that in where it fits.

2. My travel destination of choice is anywhere where my favorite people are going to be.  Utah, where my family is.  Laughlin, where we go on our girls SEESTERHOOD trips.  California, with whoever will go there with me.

3. My favorite food is ice cream.  Soup.  Steak.  Mash potatoes & gravy.  Edemambe.  Chocolate covered pretzels.  I love food just as much as I love color.

4. My happy place is being in the middle of a crowd at a fabulous concert of one of my favorite bands.  The awesomeness of live concerts negates the claustrophiba I experience in crowds.

5. My favorite saying is hum…Well, if I’m honest, “*uck a duck!”  I use it when something “bad” happens. 

6. My dirty little secret is I don’t really have any dirty little secrets.  I tell on myself too much to have secrets.  The dirtier the better and the more I’m going to share.

7. Something friends might say about me is that I am the most awesome person EVER!!  Okay, really I don’t know.  My friends might say that I am a pretty cool chick even though I am basically on the verge of being crazy cat lady.

1.  I am a (morning, evening, middle of the day person) I’m usually a morning person.  I can wake up and immediately engage in a conversation.  Most of the time it’s totally one sided as just about everyone who is in my life or has been in my life in the past has NOT been a morning person. 

2. My favorite Pandora stations are nothing.  I am lame and do not use Pandora.  I’ve heard of it but have no clue what it actually is.  It’s sad, I know.

3. 3 of my "must-have" songs for a road trip playlist are anything off Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big and Buzzy from The Refreshments.  It totally dates me but oh well.  ‘Get the Party Started’ by Pink (especially is it is a SEESTERhood Trip) and ‘Renegade’ by Styx.

4. My favorite pattern is I have no idea.  I think I kinda just like it all.  I’m more drawn to colors in patterns than the pattern itself.                                                  

5. My favorite perfume is  Chance by Chanel .  I’m allergic to perfumes, especially if I try to wear them.  I can sometimes wear Chance and it’s the only perfume I’ve owned since junior high.

6. Rules are usually in place for a good reason.  It’s best to follow them.  Having said that it doesn’t meant that some rules aren’t ment to be broken.

7. My most overused phrase or punctuation is um…ah…so…all those pause for thinking “phrases” people use.  According to my Thrusday Latelies I use them FAR TOO MUCH!  I am also known for using the exclamation point too much.

1. My plans this summer include  not a whole lot from here on out.  I’ve done all my fun summer trips. 

2.The best summer I ever had was   the one I spent in Fl with my Aunt (Floss) back between 2nd & 3rd grade.  It may not be my best summer ever ut it is definitely one that I remember.

4. My favorite summer food is  watermelon. I can’t get enough of it!!

5. The best way to quench a summer thirst is with LOTS of water!  And watermelon!!

7. The best thing about summer is spending time with family & going on vacations with them.

Last weeks Fill in the Blank...

1. The best news I ever received was  when my grandparents told me they were going to be my legal gardians & that I would be staying with them all the time.  I was 6 years old.

2. Something I'm looking forward to is Fall and cooler weather.

3. Something I would never do is anything that has to do with extreme hights & jumping out of airplanes or off anything. 

4. If I could choose someone to be my life coach (famous or not, living or dead), I'd choose I have no idea right at this moment.  I should probably know the answer to something like this but I don’t.

5. If I had to put a label on my style it would be the lable of hot mess.  I have no idea.  I guess I could say casual but some of my jewelry says otherwise.   These questions are too hard.  LOL.

1. The last thing I ate was  apple slices for breakfast.

2. The next thing I'd like to eat is  I’d love to eat a big fat juicy steak from Texas Roadhouse with sweet potatoes but that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

3. The best things are usually not things but are people like family & friends.

4. Something that makes me supremely and utterly happy is  getting lovings from the cats.  I love it when they are being sweet & wanna snuggle & let me Elmira them while they purr & enjoy it.

5. Sports are  not my thing.

6. I miss  a LOT of things.  Mostly right now I miss having someone else to help shoulder everything.

7. Right now I am   in a bit of a funky mood, sleep deprived & very hungry.   A pretty bad combo for this girly.
