Me, Myself & I Link Up!

#1 - What are your top 5 favorite movies to watch during the Holidays?

Oh man, so many good ones. Okay my TOP 5...

5. Home Alone - 4. The Holiday - 3. Die Hard - 2. Elf - 1. Love Actually

But I think these ones are also worth mentioning: Little Women, Frosty the Snowman, The Santa Clause,, A Charlie Brown Christmas. This is my FAVORITE time of year, I absolutely LOVE the holidays! :)

#2 - It’s the month of giving thanks, what are you most thankful for?

What isn’t there to be thankful for? My health, my job, my friends, my family, Brian. Life is good. :)

#3 - If there was a quote or verse to describe your life, what would it be?

#4 - Who in your family are you most alike?

I don’t know how to answer this question. I look most like my Mom and I’m like her in some other ways too, like we have a similar laugh. But, I definitely have my Dad’s stubbornness, sometime quick temper & affinity for good beer. :)

#5 - What is your favorite drink order at Starbucks?

Well, I don’t eat at Starbucks for two reasons...we don’t have one AND it’s not that great of coffee. :P However, I do love my local shops and my two most frequent orders are a cappuccino or a mint mocha. Yum. :)

xo, kass

Me, Myself & I :)

1--What is your favorite season? Explain. 

+Fall, hands down. I love the colors, the clothes and the food. And I can't explain it, but I feel like a sort of excitement fills the air. :) 

me and my little brother this summer, lol

 2--Talk about a moment that changed your life? 

+ Meeting Brian has definitely changed my life. He's amazing. Moving when I was a child definitely changed my life, for the better I think. My brother being born definitely changed my life. Again, all of these for the better. :) It's really hard for me to just pick one moment, because I feel like there are several moments that were an important part of shaping who I am today. 

3--If you could be any Crayola crayon color, what would you be & why? 

+ Avocado green. I don't know why, I just like it. :) 

 4--Describe yourself as a superhero: Superpower? Name? Sidekick?

+Ha, honestly I have no clue how to answer this question...ummmm... okay. Superpower: teleportation -- Name: Ms. Porter ??? ha, Idk. Sidekick: My loyal canine companion, Tele HA. I'm horrible at this game. :P  

5--If you had all the money in the world and could only shop at 3 stores, where would you shop? 

+Target [love the clothes and it would cover my beauty, food and general household needs], Amazon.com [for all that other random shit I think I want/need but can't get at Target] annnnnd etsy.com!!

Me, Myself & I Link Up!!

I'm totally a couple days late, but we've been having net issues, so meh!

{one}

When you're feeling down, what do you do to pick yourself up?

turn to music. :)

{two}

If you had to live in a different time period which would you prefer?

Ooo, good one. Lately I feel drawn to things with a sixties vibe. I like the general aesthetic and I've really been enjoying cat eye liner and a good hair poof.  I also feel it's worth mentioning that I really love some of the fashion to come out of the 20s and the 40s!

{three}

What is the most creative Halloween costume you've ever worn?

Man, I'm not sure I'm too creative when it comes to halloween. Last year we went as Erin and Andy from The Office, lol. I think only two people knew who we were. :P

See, even have my wounds from the bird attacks. :P

{four}

Five weird things about you we wouldn't know without being told?

1 - I hate the feel of plain cotton sheets on my feet. I usually just buy fleece ones. 

2 - When I was a child I was sitting on the bottom of a grocery cart (they used to make the bottom rack and top part much farther apart). Anyway, I was playing with the wheel and my finger got stuck and it ripped my finger nail off. Yea, it was nasty. 

  3 - I can not carry a tune. You would never know this without being told, b/c a)this is a blog and b)even if I met you I would not sing in front of you, ha! 

  4 - Stealing from Meghan Sara here, but that I'm 27. This is the most extreme anyone has been off, but last spring my doctor [one of two that I've been going to over the last 3 years] made some comment about me graduating school. Assuming he meant college, I just nicely corrected him. Then he was like oh wow, I though you were 17 or 18. What?? In his defense, I was sick, wearing no makeup BUT he also was looking at my file. Who knows.

 5 - Umm, one more. OH! I love dipping my chicken nuggets in my frosty. This is only satisfying at Wendy's. Other places don't make their shakes thick enough. :P

{five}

What would you tell your 16-year-old self?

Don't get sucked into other people's issues and drama. Just figure out what and who makes you happy - and do that and be around them. Don't compare your life to others, that'll just make you stress.  People are gonna be mean from time to time, but in the end highschool isn't a big deal, so don't get to upset and just BE YOURSELF! If you do get bummed, just go eat ice cream and hug your dog. Oh, and rock that french horn girl!!

xoxo, kassie

Me, Myself & I - Link Up Party!

1) What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Pursue a life of art and travel. Specifically, photography - with National Geographic. Dream job right there folks.

2) If you had only six months left to live, what would you do with the time?

Quit my job, ha. No, but seriously. Quit my job and spend 3-4 months travelling and seeing the world and spend the last couple months at home with my family. [assuming I could afford it, but in this hypothetical I CAN! ha!]

3) If a front page news article was written on you, what would the headline be?

"LOCAL REDHEAD RIDES GIRAFFE OUT OF ZOO" hahahahaha! Idk, but that would be sweet.

4) What is your biggest pet peeve?

People not actually listening, when they say they are. {ahem, most boyfriends/husbands out there} Generally, I don’t interrupt while someone is watching tv or doing something else, but if if I do it’s because I have something that you need to know for whatever reason. When said person tells me or implies that they are aware of my presence and voice and are listening to me...and then just don’t. GAR. I hate repeating myself.

5) What is your favorite chick flick movie?

Oooo, good one. How ever can I choose? I own several movies that could be put in the chick flick category, but could also be put in other categories. SO, I’m going strictly Chick-FlicksThat-ONLY-Girls-Would-Ever-Want-To-See Category.

Okay, here it is... 

Legally Blonde.

Don’t judge me, I’m allowed guilty pleasures.

xo, kass 

Me, Myself and I Link Up

I meant to get this up this morning, but alas it did not happen (i've been sickly).  I saw this link up on Kristen's blog and I got excited because it sounded like one I'd enjoy. So here ya go!!

{photo from fam vacay, have I shared this one yet?}

1. What is your biggest phobia? 

Oh man, probably spiders. Yea, most definitely spiders. Gross. 

2. If you could relive any day of your life, what would it be and why?

Are you kidding? This is a hard question. I can think of many days that would be worth reliving. First...no second date with Brian, the saturday a few weeks ago when we went to Des Moines with our friends, Camp trip for the past 3 years, the Grace Potter concert night and so many more. I have a nice life. :) 

3. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

Honestly, probably about where I’m at, maybe a couple years younger. But, in a few years I think that will change. It’s just at this age [mid-upper 20s] I feel like there are still so many possibilities. I feel like I can still get away with being childish and making stupid mistakes occasionally. But at the same time...I feel like there is a lot of pressure at this age to start getting your shit together and carve out a life. So Idk, it’s intense, exciting...and well will have to end at some point, eh? 

4. Which celebrity do you get mistaken for? 

None, ha! Although, on a couple rare occasions people told me I looked like Jullianne Moore. Idk though....I think it’s just cause we both have red hair and people are crazy. haha. 

 

Hmm...or maybe it's the cheek bones and big chin?? LOL

5. What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life? 

OMG, another toughy! Okay, well I don't know if this answer the question exactly, but here are some songs I’ve been listening to a lot lately...

Fool for a Lonesome Train by Ben Harper
Low Road by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas
Dreams by Fleetwood Mac
Stay Together by Al Green
Hearts Collide by Little Boots
The Dirty Glass by Dropkick Murphy’s
I’m Ready, I Am by The Format
Tyler by Toadies
Birds by Kate Nash

**Also, let me tell you - I tried to make a playlist for you on several sites and I couldn't!  There were always at least a couple songs they didn't have (and they were my favs!) so pfffft.  Anyway, here is a video of the first one, cuz I love me some Ben Harper.
