Jessica over at Kitchen Belleicious was so incredibly sweet to pass along this award to me.  I LOVE her blog and feel so special that she appreciates mine.  Jessica posts the most amazing recipes on her blog!!!  You must go over and check it out!!

1. We were required to take Home Ec in high school.  I loved it so much that I took the second level of classes including an advanced sewing class.  When I was a freshman at Loyola, I sewed my own formal dress for my first Delta Gamma formal.  It was a black one shoulder satin gown with an extra high slit because I had to take it up and forgot to account for that when I sewed the slit.  Oops!
2. When I was in eighth grade I asked for a subscription to Bride's magazine.  I would trace all of the dresses and then imagine that I was a wedding and formal wear designer.  
3. I took a speech class in high school where we had to give an extemporaneous address.  I gave an Oscar acceptance speech holding a baseball trophy and shed real tears through  my speech.  If your interested, I won for the role of Katie Raspanti in the adaptation of the book Night Jasmine (my favorite book of all time).
4. I love accents!!!  I played a character from Boston in a play once and had to listen to hours of tapes on the Mid-Atlantic dialect.  Since then, I have developed a knack for accents.  Now if only I could develop a knack for learning to speak French.  
5. If choosing between a pool and a beach, I would always choose the pool.  I don't actually like the feeling of sand between my toes.  I know, I know.  
6. I have a collection of perfumes.  For each birthday and Christmas, I ask for a new perfume.  I love waking up each day and looking at all of the pretty bottles and how different they all are.  I also love deciding what scent I feel like that day.  I know some people have a signature scent, but I love that every day is a little different.
7. I would like to one day be the mayor of New Orleans.
