Erika's Questions for Me
1. If you weren't doing what you are doing now (a particular career, being a homemaker, etc.), what would you want to do?
I'm doing everything I want to do... and probably losing my mind in the process ;) Photography business owner, student (starting on finishing my Bachelor's degree on the 21st), SAHM :)
2. What's the best, no-fail recipe you have (hey- I need all the help I can get!)?
Anything frozen that I can pop in the microwave. Haha. There's a reason why I don't cook and when I do, it's something a 5 year old couldn't screw up. 
3. Not an original question, but what three things (family and pets not included) would you grab in a fire?
iMac, iPhone, and camera bag (that has all my camera gear in it... at least the important stuff)
4. What book has made a big impact on your life? You're allowed to name more than one.
"Handle With Care" by Jodi Picoult... 
I'll be honest. The only reason I picked that book up was because of Sammy. If you don't know who I'm referring to, go back to December in my archives. I'll be even more honest... I haven't been able to finish it because I'm afraid of how it ends.5. If someone handed you a front row seat to any concert, who would you want to see?
Trace Adkins. 
6. Imagine someone describing you to a stranger- what would they say?
Crazy, but in a good way. and blunt. with a foul mouth and an inappropriate sense of humor.
:D7. What's something you've always wanted but never gotten? (An accomplishment, a possession, a feeling...anything.)
Yes... but I'm going to keep that to myself. Hind sight is 20/20 and it's a very good things I did NOT get what I wanted (that time).
8. What's something you've always wanted and did get?
To live in another country.
9. You are magically handed your own birth certificate to type in any name you want. Do you stick with what you have, or change it?
I'll keep what I've got. :) There aren't too many Bonnie's around and I love my name.
Well, I love it now as an adult... I got teased a lot as a kid for my name.10. What gives you the most comfort? Where is that place? Is anyone there with you?
Alone time. I can be anywhere as long as I'm alone and can recenter myself... that's what gives me the most comfort. 
11. And finally- if you go to England someday, can I stow away in one of your checked bags? (Hint: the answer should be YES.)
Yes! :)
