The lovely Mrs. Smith tagged me in 11 questions, and these are always fun, so join in.

I like Mrs. Smith am going to ‘break the rules’ and answer the questions I think have the most interesting answers.

1. Favorite concert?

Easy peasy while in Vegas in February I saw George Strait at the MGM Grand. Amazing concert, he did over 60 songs! If you ever have the chance to see him go! It was worth every penny.

2. What is your favorite book of all time?

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, for what it was for me at the time I read it, it was my grand entrée into the world of chick lit. I am still bitter about the movie. Once upon a time I had a fan site called Shopaholic Life with fashion news and a list of all the places Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood shopped.
P.S. Friend me on Good Reads!

3. What do you do for work, or if you’re not comfortable sharing on the internets, what is the industry in which you work?

4. Did you go Greek in college? If so, which house?

5. Sweet or salty?

Alternation is key, my favorite method, Popcornopolis Zebra popcorn. I love it sooo much I dragged my parents into the dungeon that is Excaliber in Vegas so I could get some! (Popcornopolis is available seasonally at Costco, sooo good!)

ME and my Zebra corn, totally worth going into Excalibur for

3.  Vegas is always a fun place to be…

11. How do you drink your coffee, and when did you start?

I love me some Columbian with 1 splenda, I started like most people in college, but it wasn’t until I met coffee addict Andrew that I really gained my addiction. He does have a 12 cupper in his cube…

The Shopping Cycle (Like the nitrogen cycle but not)
"A bit like a farmer's crop rotation system. Except, instead of wheat-maize-barley-fallow, mine pretty much goes clothes-makeup-shoes-clothes. (I don't usually bother with fallow.) Shopping is actually very similar to farming a field. You can't keep buying the same thing-you have to have a bit of variety."
