Is Fall your favorite season?!?
ReplyDeleteLoved your answers, I'm impressed you hiked the entire Appalachian trial, my husband wants me to do that with him. That's quite the commitment lol
Fall is my favorite season! And, let me tell you, that you have to be a little insane to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. There are some very boring, very un-fun parts of the trail that, in my opinion, should be skipped if you're not trying to prove a point. I don't think anyone in their right mind hikes for that long, haha. That being said, I would TOTALLY recommend it!
DeleteI loved your answers. I fully understand that you’d go for no health problems, of course and can only agree with you on the importance honesty and communication are. I like that you called it transparent communication. Hmmm your favourite season is rather difficult to find out. Summer? :))

At first, I thought I wouldn't want to change anything about my life. Then I thought, "Gosh, it would be so nice if I didn't have anxiety and allergies!"
DeleteAnd another funny thing about my name/favorite season--when I was an exchange student in Germany, they called me "Herbst."
Oh dear, did they call you Herbst because they wanted to tease you? Or did they mean it? Face palm time, I'd say.
DeleteCongrats on your 26 miles for 26 years!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was pretty exhausting, but I trained really well for it, so I made it through!
DeleteGreat answers. I'm all for not following the rules. ;) And holiday socks are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I really don't see the point of switching out socks with the seasons. I mean, the only time I wear socks is with closed-toed shoes or boots anyway, so what does matter if there are snowmen on them in the summer??
DeleteI'm so impressed! The Applachian trail, a marathon and a professional singer. You learn fun stuff about people this way.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I guess they do seem pretty ambitious, but I get ambitious about really crazy things. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, which isn't always a strong suit!
DeleteHi Autumn,
ReplyDeleteI love that you guys translate your cat's meows into phrases. We do that too! And I can totally relate to turning things you say a lot into song. When my kids were little I turned instructions and directives into songs all day to make it seem fun, and the habit stuck. Only now I just sing all kinds of random things! Thanks for letting us all getto know you better :-)
I totally got my husband to start singing stuff too, so when we're feeling particularly weird, we sill sing all kinds of random things. If someone were a fly on the wall, they would probably think we were both insane, hahaha!
DeleteThanks for sharing, even if you didn't follow the rules in their entirety. Always enjoy learning more about the bloggers I follow.
ReplyDeleteHiking the entire Appalachian Trail that is impressive as is completing a marathon! (Also perhaps because I have similar interests.)
And dressed up as Khaleesi - hot!
Yeah, hopefully I will actually get a chance to go to a costume party this year. I usually have practice/rehearsal/work on Halloween night, so I miss out on all the fun.
DeleteI also really hope to hike the Appalachian Trail again...this time all the way through without stopping (it took me two years to complete it the first time--not all at once, of course). It takes about six months total.
