Getting to Know... Me.

I am typically a deleter of all fluff emails. You know the kind - your girlfriends forward them to you and ten other friends wondering who will be the first to answer all the questions and send it back. Gag. I really don't like those emails or any "forwarded" emails. (Especially ones with cute animal pictures. Sorry all you animal lovers out there. No offense. Really.) In fact, I am typically harassed by my girlfriends for sending one word response emails like, "ditto" or "yup!" But last week, my friend over at The Tiny Twig threw me a curve ball. She actually tagged me for one of those questionnaires via her blog! What? That's gutsy and well, I cannot disappoint. So here goes nothing!

3 names I go by:
Pure and Noble
Mommy
Brookelyn

3 places I have been:

Portland - I love this place and hope to live here one day. The nicest people on the planet live here. Sadly there's only a 2% Christian population here. However, we know an awesome couple here that have started a really cool church called Bread and Wine.

Hong Kong absolutely insane and so cool (yes, I did a little karaoke and club hopping.)

Nice, France - and yes, it is that beautiful and so very romantic.

3 favorite drinks:

COFFEE (Starbucks Cafe Verona) as made by my amazing husband almost every morning. If I'm lucky, it's french press. If I'm really lucky, it's Stumptown. I love the way the grinds in french press coffee  make a pretty design every time I take a drink. sigh...

mexican martini

Call it what you will, the Mexican Martini, Texas-tini, texatini, whatever... it's amazing! If you're ever in Texas, you gotta have one. Yum!

water - enough said.
