for lack of imagination...

...i am lifting this from Krystyn's blog.

1. Name: Dawn

2. Pink - Love it or Hate it? i like some pink, but it depends on the shade & what it's being used for.

3. Signature shade of lipstick, lipgloss, etc.: i have one but i don't know what the name is. it's a warm reddish color, just a shade darker than my natural lip color, light with a little gloss. i don't wear it often though. i usually just wear some vanilla-flavored SoftLips.

4. Do you have a best girl friend? yes. and i am quite lucky. =)

5. Do you have a woman mentor? no... used to look to my Gram for that sort of guidance, but no one anymore.

6. Are you a woman mentor to someone else? not that i am aware of!

7. Tomboy or Princess? all of the above. i don't like to get dirty or sweaty all that much. not a fan of bugs or camping. i like to have my nails done, and i hardly ever leave the house without makeup. but i *love* me some football & baseball. i am happiest in track pants or jeans and a t-shirt. i would rather go to the Baseball Hall of Fame than to a spa, any day. and unless i love you an awful lot, i have no patience for drama.

8. Favorite Girl Band: don't really have one to be honest with you.

9. Are you a mom? Do you want to be one? i am not a mom, but if it's in the cards for me one day, i am up for the challenge. children are blessings.

10. Do you and your mom have any rituals? yeah... not so much.

11. Fashion magazines - yea or nay. sure, if it's laying around & i'm bored, but i am not paying for a subscription or anything.

12. Do you have a feel good outfit? my black yoga pants & my Mike Lowell batting practice jersey.

13. Have you called your grandma or special aunt, or special older lady lately? my Gram passed away five years ago this coming Saturday, and i don't have any other special older ladies in my life, so... no! ;-)

14. Signature Scent? Vanilla Bean Noel

15. Favorite female tv character: Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy (yeah, i know she's whiny sometimes, but i identify well with the character. take that as you will.) or maybe Marin Frist on Men In Trees

16. Favorite place to hang out with gal pals? Disney World! =)

17. Did you ever ditch your girl friends to be with a guy? Do you still? i did for a while but... i think that was partially immaturity & partially to avoid one of the people i considered a friend back then. (should've told me something, huh? took me another year or so to figure it out though.) i wouldn't do that now, at least not in a way that would be considering "ditching my friends." more like make special time for all the important people in my life.

18. Friend you call when you need a laugh? usually Heather or Alison

19. Friend you call when you need a shoulder to cry on? while i know there are several people ready, willing & able to be that shoulder, i tend not to call people. i might text a little or drop an email, but mostly i get kind of quiet & "pull into myself" which usually leads to one or more of them calling *me*.

20. Have you reminded your friends of how much they mean to you lately? some. but i think that's one of those things that can never be done too much.
