January's TBB Asks - Monday, January 8

Today I'm joining a great group of bloggers over at The Blended Blog to answer the January TBB Asks questions.  It's such a fun way to get to know other bloggers!  I also find that while reflecting on my answers, I learn a little bit about myself at the same time.  So let's get started ~

1.  Resolutions or No Resolutions?

I'm definitely a resolutions girl.  Each new year I have a long list of things I want to focus on.  Some of them actually make it through to December!  

2.  Love snow or no snow?

I have a love / hate relationship with snow.  I absolutely HATE having to drive to and from work in the snow.  Snow can turn my normal 40 minute commute into hours.  But if it's a weekend that I can sit in my cozy house and look out the window at huge flakes floating to the ground I'm all about it.

3.  Name a New Place you want to go this year.

Italy.  Definitely Italy!  Eric and I are saving our change and hopefully will be able to book a trip there this summer.  

4.  Would you rather have a new hair cut or hair color?

Man, I would love a new hair cut.  But I have to be honest, it seems no matter how my stylist cuts my hair I always gravitate back to the same way of fixing it.  

5.  Name one special thing you want to do for yourself this year.

I really want to start eating more healthy.  Each week I stock our refrigerator with fruits and vegetables, and each week I throw most of it away.  Bad on so many levels!  This year I'm going to put more effort into actually using the good food I buy instead of tossing it out.

6.  Least favorite thing about January?

The days are so short!  Most of the time I leave for work in the dark and I come home in the dark.  

7.  Most favorite thing about January?

Fresh starts!  The new year is such a great time to start new things.  It's like hitting the reset button.  All things are possible!

8.  When do you take down your Holiday decorations?

Ugh.  This is a task I absolutely hate.  My goal is always to take them down the first weekend in January.  Then I spend the next few days missing them.  

9.  Do you diet in January?

Absolutely.  Me and the other 753485478 people that have resolved to lose weight starting in January.  Hopefully this year will show some results.

10.  What area of your home do you want to organize the most?

My pantry!  One of the main reasons we purchased our current home is because I fell in love with the pantry.  Unfortunately, it falls prey to stuff being dumped in there.  I need to spend some serious time getting it in order.  It's amazing the feeling I have when I step in there after it's all clean and organized.  

11.  Favorite Winter Comfort Food.

There are tons of comfort foods that I love, but one of my favorites is Loaded Potato Soup.  My recipe is HERE.  It's quick and easy to make and really warms you up on cold winter days. 

12.  Favorite Guilty Pleasure?

Hands down - Binge watching a new TV series.  I love setting aside a day and just watching the heck out of a show.  

Thanks TBB for providing the questions and I can't wait to learn more about other bloggers!
