And now the answers to my questions. You just may find out information you never wanted to know :)
1. What's your favorite non-blog related activity?
Decorating. That was too easy, so if not decorating, then going to the beach. In the summer, we buy an over-sand pass for our four-wheel drive. It's so much fun -- if you've never driven on the beach, I hope you get to some day. We drive way out and make a big campfire. the kids collect sticks and we do a cookout and s'mores with a group of friends. I did it as a child, and it is one of my favorite childhood memories that I'm so glad I can replicate for my children. Here is the beach we go to during Fourth of July weekend:

2. What's your favorite vacation spot?
I have to say the timeshare that my parents have on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. I've been going there since I was about 10, and it feels like a second home. My husband and I even got engaged there. Here is where we stay:
3. Who is your celebrity crush?
Oh, waaaaay too easy ;) Ian Somerhalder. Need I say more?

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?
People putting too much personal information on Facebook. You know what I mean.....

6. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you'd do?
Pay off my mortgage and put enough away for our kids schooling. Then take a vacation with my husband -- two weeks (at least) in Europe. I know that's three things...I guess first would be education.

7. Signature cocktail?
There is a blue drink at a local martini bar that I am wild about...it's called the "Bond Girl" and is made with Midori, Blue Curacao, and Vodka. Yum. I can only have one, because I can barely remember the times I've had two, and I'm no lightweight, but these babies are pure alcohol!

8. If I looked in your fridge right now, what would I find?
Oh, funny question (and embarrassing answer). Milk, 4 dozen eggs (no, I have no idea why), bread, taco sauce, beer, butter, and yogurt. Enough to give the kids a good breakfast, but absolutely nothing to cook with!

9. Are you a morning or a night person?
NIGHT! I routinely stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning. It's just when I like to be awake, nothing more complicated than that. It does tend to hurt the next day, though.

10. What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment?
Starting my own business and now blog. It was very scary to do that. I was "retired" from practicing law already, so it wasn't like we were relying on my income any more, but the thought of trying and failing was terrifying, and delayed me by years. I have a friend now in her 20's who is going through the same struggle, and I hope with all my heart that I can convince her not to wait. She's really talented, but just doesn't have the confidence (you know who you are TN)!

Nice getting to know more about you and funny about all the eggs in your frig. I don't get the egg thing either since we have two dozen in ours and we rarely eat eggs. I'm very sorry about your Mom and hope for the best foor your family. Keep thinking about the Europe trip instead of what you might not get.
Enjoy your day!

What a great idea...Loved learning the "not so public" things about you and I am truly sorry to hear about your mother...Keeping her in my prayers and hope that soon we shall hear the announcement of a cure..
Loved reading your answers, Stacy! Funny to see the similarities in each of us. I need to get busy on my answers too.
Happy Wednesday.

Stacy, first off...I have already said it but again so sorry about what you are going through with your mom, it cannot be easy. I wish you, your family and your mom the best during what must be a hard time. Sending a hug your way.....
I loved getting to know more about. 4 dozen eggs? What is going on over there? Souffles, omelettes and baking? Someone likes eggs over there! Bahamas...oh yea! Bond Girl has intriuged me, I will have to request one next time I am out! You have accomplished so much in your young life..you should be proud! So funny about the Facebook thing...I mean its crazy that people REALLY do that! This was great and a fun way to start my morning...will get cracking to carry it on!
Love your answers, Stacy! I'm drooling over your favorite vacation spot (and your celebrity crush)!
Hope you're having a great day,

We all enjoy learning about our blogger friends and we really don't know as much as we think we do. Women are exceptional at wearing more than one hat and we live in a world that pours is on at times. I enjoyed learning more about you and we do have our tender subjects as well and sharing that is part of who you are too. Looking forward to the answers to these questions from the lucky list of bloggers above.
It is a pleasure getting to know you better. Good answers.
Thanks for participating Stacy! This was a fun way to get to know you better, although I am terribly sorry to hear about your mother. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
What great answers, Stacy! I love learning more about you - and what a freaky morning... I actually tagged YOU TODAY in this crazy merry-go-round of a game. Blogland is spinning - hold on!!! LOL
Thanks so much for sharing so much... seriously, 4 dozen eggs???
Scary sad about your Mom. My thoughts and good wishes are with you.
The rest of the post was a treat...the best...and worst (Facebook) of life!
Take care,
B.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I will always remember your mom as being one of the tannest ladies at CBA and didn't she used to drive a red convertible mercedes? Best wishes for your and your family.

So nice to learn more about you, Stacy! Just the colour alone makes that drink a 'must have' ;-) And I appreciate your position with FB... oversharing is #notcool! I grew up camping on the beach, and in those days the rules were a lot more relaxed about driving on the beach - our family had an old pick-up truck, and friends had 'dune buggies', aka 'beach buggies'. They are so much fun, and to this day such great memories!
You seem to be a very nice, sweet, fun mother and wife...friend too I'm sure. I loved reading more about you. Sometimes I get "blogging is too personal" but that's what's fun about it!
Eat lots of spinach and almonds...good for the brain! And beets!
In fact: Brain Lunch
Tuna, tomato, spinach, almonds and a banana for dessert :-)
I especially enjoyed your post today because it humanizes our collective experiences from eggs to cocktails to Alzheimers. Due to a brain injury a couple of years ago, early Dementia is a real possibility for me... The gift in all of this has been that I am much more present...in my home and with my family. It is all wrapped up with deep gratitude for the life that I live right now. Stay the course, and know that there are so many out there supporting you as well as congratulating you...all part of life, right:)?
That facebook thing is so funny!
My Grandmother had Alzheimer's too- it is such a hard thing to deal with. I'm so afraid that My Mam will too!
well, nice to "meet" you... that Facebook stuff is crazy!!
sorry about your mother...there is always hope.
I am your newest follower..pls follow back if you can.
my kids would LOVE to drive on the beach!!
happy March.
Fun answers, Stacy! What a great family outing on the beach, I'm sure your kids will cherish the tradition, as well. The Facebook cracked me up! So sorry to hear such sad news about your mom, I wish you all strength during the rough days and much happiness during the good ones!
