Debbie over at Starting My Life at 35... tagged me to answer a few questions. Even though the questions were a bit tough for me, I thought I would oblige.
1. What is the biggest change you've made in your life that you never thought you'd really be able to do?
Taking the step to buy a house on my own after renting an apartment for 7 years. I was extremely intimidated by the financial and other responsibilities of being the sole owner of a house. My parents were the ones that encouraged me to take that step and I'm actually really glad they did. This is what I consider to be my biggest accomplishment to-date -- the thing I'm most proud of.
2. What's your one guilty pleasure you cannot live without?
Hmm... chocolate? Hot chocolate, chocolate milk, dark chocolate, chocolate with peanut butter, chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, hot fudge. I could probably live without it, I just really wouldn't want to! Quite simply, chocolate is delicious.
3. What is your dream vacation? Money is not an issue. Time off of work is not an issue. Where do you go? Why?
Tough one. I haven't done much traveling over the years so I don't have much experience to go on. One thing I do know though, is I like going to the beach. It's so peaceful, serene, and relaxing. My sister went to St. Lucia at the beginning of the year and I'd kind of like to go there. I'd also like to check out Ireland, where my ancestors are from. I'd love to travel around a large part of Europe for a large chunk of time to immerse myself in the languages and cultures. My dream vacation would probably include myself and my boyfriend, an ocean, and 75-80 degree weather with lots of sunshine. Oh, and plenty of good food. A nice balance between relaxing and doing activities is always good.
4. If you could pack up your things and move anywhere and you'd be provided with a job, house, etc where would you live?
Again, tough to answer since I haven't traveled much. I'm not a big city girl (I get stressed out too easily) and I'm also not a country girl. I'd live in the 'burbs somewhere. My parents have a house on Lake Ontario and it's pretty wonderful. Somewhere near a beach/water would be ideal. I'm kind of partial to the East Coast/New England -- minus the snow!
Instead of tagging anyone, I'd like to leave it open. Anyone who would like to answer the above questions, feel free to do so and leave a comment with a link to your answers. Also, if there's anything you're just dying for me to answer, leave that in a comment and perhaps I'll do another post answering more questions.
Mmmm...Chocolate with peanut butter is one of my weaknesses!
Yeah, it's definitely a combination that's hard to resist!
