Thanks to everybody who delurked. I adore you all. However, I know there’s way more of you than that. I get it though - you’re shy. I was the same way until I started my own blog. I just read from afar and never commented. That’s fine. I promise I don’t bite though, so if you ever feel inclined to comment, please do so. And then we can all sit around a camp fire holding hands and singing Kumbaya. Or something.
Anyway, ask and ye shall receive:
Clink asked: What’s your favorite mac and cheese recipe?
That’s a good question. My favorite mac and cheese ever is the homemade stuff my grandma makes but I, unfortunately, do not have the recipe. Yet. I’ll add that to my list of things to get the next time I’m home. As far as the boxed stuff goes, Annie’s Shells and White Cheddar is my favorite. I also usually throw a little lobster in there (thanks for the idea, Molly!) because 1) it adds protein and 2) it’s delicious.
Lisa wants to know: Any chance you could post a kiddie pic?
Absolutely! Again though, this is something I am going to have to grab when I’m home next. Sad as it is, I don’t think I have a single picture of myself as a kid here in Indiana. Gah, I am such a tease.
JenBun asked: What’s your favorite book?
Asking me to pick my favorite book is asking me to rank all of my favorite foods below macaroni and cheese. It’s virtually impossible. I will say though that right now I have two favorite books that I’ve read recently. The Girls by Lori Lansens and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. They were both books that I could hardly put down and both of them made me tear up at the end. Speaking of tearing up, I also love the book Marley and Me by John Grogan. This could seriously go on for days.
Hazel wants to know: Why do you have Kwarter spelled like that?
I wish I had a better answer for this other than quarterlifecrisis was already taken. Also, looking back, I wish I would have picked something different because ‘kwarter life crisis’ is pretty limiting. (Damn you, hindsight.) I was at a weird point in my life (having a quarter life crisis and all) but I wish I had thought it through a little more and picked something else. I guess now though my URL is just ‘klc’ and I suppose I could just change my display name and make those letters mean something else. Kites love cookies? Koalas living crazily? Anybody?? I’m open to suggestions.
Z asked: What are you wearing today?
Well Z, it’s Friday so I’m rockin’ the jeans. On top, I have a pink cable-knit sweater on with a little white T-shirt underneath it. I have on black and white plaid ballet flats. I’m also still wearing the tan North Face Denali (size Girls Large) that I got for Christmas and my scarf because it is always freezing balls in my office.
La wants to know: When are you going to come and visit, already?!
That’s a damn good question. You plan it, I’ll be there. With bells on. And gluten-free goodies in hand. Although really, I don’t think that you and I can have a sleepover because neither one of us can apparently sleep all the way through the night. I guess we would have a wakeover? Also, if I came, I might unintentionally shove Boots into my bag and then take him home with me by mistake. I mean, you never know. Accidents happen.
Erin asked: What color is your hair?
First of all, no, that’s not weird at all. I, too, have images in my head of people who’s blogs I read and am curious as to how accurately I am portraying them. However, if you do some digging around in the archives (hint: try August) you can find some anonymous-but-still-showing-a-little-bit-of-my-hair pictures. But, to directly answer your question, brown. My hair is brown. And bonus fact - TB’s hair is brown too.
In the words of Billy Madison (another random fact: my friend Sarah and I had that entire movie memorized in junior high), does anybody have any more brain busters?
Happy Friday, everyone.
