Eleven Tag


I have been having a huge writer's block as of late; whether it's for blogging, writing, letters and even my lame facebook status - I'm at a loss. I'm glad that I have a few questions to answer from being tagged in this chain-blog, because frankly, it gives me something to post about.

Here's what I have to do (and 11 other lucky readers):

1. Post the rules
2. Share 11 random things about myself
3. Answer the 11 questions from the post in which I was tagged
4. Create 11 new questions for my tagees to answer
5. Tag 11 people

11 Questions Asked of Me:

1. How do you relieve stress? I shower and I shave. I know it sounds weird, but it gets the day off of you. It melts away tension and it leaves you squeaky clean.
2. What would be your dream vacation? A honeymoon cruise!!! ;)
3. What is your favorite quote/saying? Almost anything from Mumford but I really like, "Love, it will not betray you, dismay you or enslave you. It will set you free." -Mumford and Sons
