Taggity-tag-tag

My old student and future sister-in-law :) tagged me.

The rules:
1. Post these rules.
2. Post a photo of yourself and 11 random things about yourself.
3. Answer the questions set for you in the original post.
4. Create 11 new questions and tag people to answer them.
5. Tell them they've been tagged.

1. I don't have any pictures of myself alone since I've had kids.
2. I am really digging Downton Abbey. A lot.
3. I love being a mom. I suck at patience but I love being a mom.
4. I almost always find myself getting a crush on the main male character in any movie, play, or TV show.
5. I can't go a single day without drinking {a lot of} Diet Coke. It's a serious addiction. I'm not proud of it, but it does keep me sane.
6. I stalked Blaine. Then, married him. True story.
7. I crave creative projects. If I don't have something I'm working on, I get a case of "the funk".
8. I love to eat out. I love getting my drink and sometimes an appetizer and my very own meal that I don't have to make with my own two hands. I love it.
9. I am learning to get over the gloom of January and February but March seriously blows.
10. I am a sucker for pretty dishes, vases, and containers.
11. I have to pick up and organize the kitchen and family room each night. It's a sickness.
