Hey my lovely ladybugs…

Thanks for all your wonderful comments and support. It means a lot.  Don’t worry this post will be a LOT lighter…

My favorite blogger, Boho Girl always inspires me. She has a great circle of friends who stand by her side to inspire and be inspired by her.  She also had a pretty large following in the blog world of which I’m really intrigued by. I would love to one day have a steady group of blog world kindred spirits to connect with… Meh one step at a time.

Anyway it’s a rabbit hole with Awesome Blogs… You find one you love and she’ll (for me they’ve been women I’ve came across) usually lead you to another and another.. you look up from your computer and it’s 3 hours later and it’s like your in the time space continuum..

So She lead me to Her.. which lead me to Her.

So I’m going to follow suit… called “Fancy a Few Questions?

where is your cell phone?
within arms reach.  always.

your hair?
at it’s longest that I can recollect.

your mom?
responsible for introducing me to the art of eyebrow waxing at the ripe ‘ol age of 16.

your dad?
probably watching CNN right now.

your favorite food?
EVERYTHING except celery (bleh times infinity) , Foie Gras and Brie. The act of bashing/cutting/cleaning anything internal that was once living and came from the sea.

your dream last nite?
i rarely remember my dreams but this past week I had a dream about being in a haunted house.

your favorite drink?
since i cannot drink two things at one time, here is my list of favorite things to drink. i prefer water as a regular beverage of choice along with my daily cup (or two) of coffee (light and sweet) , a tumbler of DiSaronno with a few cubes, a glass of medium body red or a chilled fruity white and an endless cup of sweet tea.

your dream/goal?
- write a book – have a HUGE blog following – make a LOT of money – have a really great house – to be the spokesperson for Married to a Chef, to have a very strong client base when I become a Life Coach that is integrated into the MtaC website. – run a 10K  – have (2) beautiful daughters both with natural red hair (Hey I can dream!)  – to visit Prague, Montreal, Seattle, Portland, Brazil, Amsterdam, Croatia

the room you are in?
our living room sitting on the couch with my beloved kitty girl laying next to me while i finish up a movie/ not my dream living room but meh.. it’s temporary.

what is your hobby?
reading, knitting… honestly i should have more hobbies.

what is your fear?
i’m going to be totally honest here…struggling for money, continuing to go from job to job, being too controlling to my future children.

where were you last nite?
at my husbands restaurant with Bonnie and Jason Sanders eating a lovely meal.. It was a great time!

something you are not?
Perfect.

muffins?
corn please

on your wish list?
- moving to that house in Charleston,SC  (fingers crossed) with a BEAUTIFUL house full of brand new furniture including one of the bedrooms with a brand new nursery and another a beautiful office. – a completed Married to a Chef website that I can tell everyone that wants to hear (ahem.. Food and Wine Magazine, Washingtonian, Oprah?) so that I can reach out to tens of thousands of significant others so they don’t have to ever feel alone.  – have a really great white trench coat that looks hot on me.  OOH.. one of those speedlights for my SLR that I can bounce the flash instead of right at someone. – SO excited to be sitting with other people who are also interested in becoming a life coach!!  -having an easy time when it comes to publishing my book.

where did you grow up?
born in brooklyn,nyc and lived in Queens. – moved to Hamilton Square, NJ when I was 6. moved to Washington,NJ when I was 11 until I graduated from High School. I say I’m from New Jersey with family roots in Queens (Still do)

thats a strange question. it’s been a lazy saturday for me.. not alot on my agenda today. chillin in my pj’s watching TV and trying to get all these questions answered.

what are you wearing?
i feel like  a serious dork when i tell you  i’m in my black nightgown (no not of the teddy sort) and warm socks.

your TV?

your mood?
like the Karate Kid painting the fence… UPPPPPP and DOWN…

missing someone?
i miss my grandpa every day.

your vehicle?
currently my dream car,my VW Jetta V6 Red Manual… but my future dream car would be a Brand New VW Beetle Convertible OR okay I’ll admit it..the Toureq (SUV) – I can’t believe I’m saying that. Dreams of domesticated bliss.

something your not wearing?
i’m not wearing this necklace or…this dress or these shoes

your favorite store?
hands down – Aveda and ETSY , as well as  Uncommon Goods, Signals , ooh and Supermarket … Macys for clothes.

your favorite color?
this is a tough question cause i like different colors for different things.. i’m really craving orange lately.. and purple..l but  my lifelong favorite color is red..  ooh..

last time you laughed?
last nite at dinner with Bonnie and Jason.. lotsa laughs.

last time you cried?
um… i want to say a few days ago… probably to Peter. I thank God he’s my husband.

your best friend?
i have many.. throughout the years.. and i don’t care if noone understands.. they are all my BEST friends. Whether i talk to them every day or every year (or every 5 years). They are in my heart.. I know I am in theirs…and thats what makes them the best.

one place you go over and over?
to my bed – every day… over and over.. every day of my life.

guilty pleasure?
Daydreaming of how I want my life to be… as soon as I start thinking about it.. it makes me smile and if I’m in my car..  turn the volume up on my Reggae or Dance tunes and rock out in my car!!! Sigh.. Imagination… gotta love it. (especially when I now know it’s the way to Manifest my Destiny!)

favorite place to eat?
this is a loaded question. my favorite location to eat in my house is on the sofa watching TV.  Outside of the house.. I’d say in NO particular order

  • Pho at Viet House on Richmond Highway in Alexandria
  • Filet Mignon/Potato Al gratin/Creamed Spinach at Carslyle in Shirlington, VA
  • Chicken Fajitas at Silverado in Annandale, VA
  • A Rueben Sandwich with Fries at The Stage Deli in Manhattan, NYC
  • Plaintains at Abis Restaurante in Arlington, VA
  • Japanese Steakhouse at Kyotos in Savannah, GA
  • Cashew Chicken at Roly Poly in Savannah, GA

oh man I can DEFINITELY go on….

where do you want to be in 6 years?
Living somewhere other than here in VA  in a single family house (3-4 bedroom conducive to having a family/having Christmas at our house) with (2) children and a Successful Life Coaching Practice being the spokesperson for Married to a Chef all over the world… traveling and reaching out to others – with a published book under my wing.. frequently visiting my husband at the Restaurant where he is working as the Executive Chef. Running and/or working out every day while still finding plenty of time to visit my friends all over the country and balanced enough to be home to have a family meal with my family and help with homework.  Makes me happy to visualize!!!

Now that was fun!!! Hope you enjoy being a part of my world.
Much Love,
Kerilyn
