clouding up my mind (ten on tuesday)

(retroactively posting for this week's ten on tuesday, because I was traveling all day yesterday! Hosted by Chelsea.)

1. How do you pronounce the word aunt? Does your pronunciation rhyme with ‘haunt’ or ‘can’t'? Rhymes with can't.

2. Do most of the people in your life know you blog? Or are you partially or totally anonymous?
I definitely don't hide it -- but whether or not they read it when I post the link on Twitter/Facebook/etc. is up to them! I do have a blog that I keep private from almost everyone, just so I have a place to write completely anonymously. But I don't use it very often.

3. When you grocery shop, do you prefer to bag your own groceries or do you like it when the store bags them for you? Paper, plastic, or reusable bags?
I'm fine either way? Sometimes the grocery store people like to put two things in a plastic bag and call it a day, which is not really a great way to bag things, in my humble opinion. We get plastic, so we can use them as trash bags!

4. Do you have a green thumb? I suck at keeping plants alive. Nate's parents gave me one, though, and it hasn't keeled over yet.

5. If you watch the Food Network, which chef/show host is your favorite? I love Food Network, but I don't think I particularly care for one chef. I like pretty much all the chefs on Iron Chef, though.

6. Do you like to take baths? Do you take them very often? I like baths, but the water always gets cold way too fast. I prefer the hot tub ;)

7. What color are the walls in your kitchen? Mmm...white? I think our apartment is white or off-white.

8. Do you prefer to dine outdoors or indoors? I like dining outdoors, when the weather is nice.

9. Describe your ideal weather. Sunny or mostly sunny, but cool. Like, with a cool breeze. But not so cold that I need a jacket.

10. If you could learn any foreign language, which would you choose to learn?
I've tried learning many foreign languages (ie: Latin, German and Arabic,) and I'm just not real good at it. But I would probably pick a romance language, like French or Spanish. I feel like I'd do alright with those. I did ok with learning ASL, but that's because it's so kinesthetic, so memorizing vocab is completely different than with a spoken language. I've pretty much forgotten it all now.
