What is the first thing you do when you get up in the morning?
10 pushups, 100 crunches and 7 minutes of meditation. I mean, I think about doing those things after I hit my 9 minute snooze button. I only hit it once, though!

What is YOUR karaoke song?
Proud Mary by Ike and Tina. Usually, I am with a male friend that will be my Ike. If pushed, I will go it alone. Much like Tina, if you know what I mean.

What was your most embarrassing hair style?
Third grade, terrible perm on my very fine hair. I wanted to look like Steph from Full House, but I just looked bad.

What food makes you think of Christmas?
Fajitas! Also, my mom makes these ridiculous three-layer-brownies that have to be refrigerated bc there is a cream cheese layer. They are the best and she refuses to make them any other time of the year.

What movie can you watch over and over again?
Dirty Dancing, arguably the best movie ever made, period. LOL - JK. It's not arguable.

What is the best invention during your lifetime?
I don't know how moms mommed without IPads. I admit it.

How old were you when you got your first computer?
One that was all mine? College. 18. Also, my first cell phone was when I was a junior in college! Can you believe it? Kids these days, amiright?

What was your first car?
My dad's old Mazda 323 - hatchback, pale gold. If I went more than 60 miles an hour, the steering wheel would begin to shake furiously. It was a good little car!

Who do you think you are most like in your family?
I'm turning out to be a lot like my mom, I think! Which is fine, because she is awesome. Except for her refusal to make three-layer-brownies more than once a year.

What do you have an irrational fear of?
OMG- SHARKS. Someone (my uncle Chuck, on my mom's side) let me watch Jaws when I was 8 and I was never the same. To this day, I have not been in the ocean past my waist. And I never will be!

Who taught you to swim?
I took swim lessons at a young age, I remember that. Before that...I don't know...probably my parents.

What music are you embarrassed that you like listening to?
I am not embarrassed that I listen to the Hamilton soundtrack. But I am a little embarrassed that for the past year, it's pretty much ALL I've listened to. I am absolutely obsessed and when it comes to Dallas or Fort Worth and I see it, I am confident it will be one of the best days of my life.

What do you love the smell of?
It's cliche, but I love the smell of fresh cut grass. And baby heads. And chocolate chip cookies baking. And gasoline. All the cliches, basically. I'm a sucker, what can I say?
