Gabrielle's Twenty Answers

If you'll recall, we've asked each member of our illustrious design team to answer a series of 20 questions. In the last installment we learned that Robbie should've been a contestant on Rock of Love considering her questionable taste in men and her "talent".

We continue our series with Gabrielle Pollacco, My Creative Scrapbook's resident Prima junkie.

1. What is your stupid human trick?

I do the monkey feet thing rather than bending down and picking up dirty laundry, tissues, etc. off the floors. I use my toes to pick them up! Can you tell I'm bare-foot a lot?

2. Most embarrassing moment?

It was probably when I congratulated an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time on being pregnant. Deadpanned, she looked at me and said, "I'm not pregnant." I nearly died! I started blubbering about how awful I've felt when people have said that to me and apologized profusely. Eventually, she took pity on me and admitted that she was, in fact, 7 months preggers!

3. Proudest moment?

I know it's sappy, but giving birth to my two girls. Any other moment pales in comparison.

4. Nick name or hubby's pet name for you?

Sweet Ride. HeeHee, I know TMI!! (Wow... you ain't a kiddin') But he also calls me Potser, Woodhead, Wingnut... **sigh** ...you'd think I was dumb! And worst of all, you'd think I talked too much!!

5. Worst crime of fashion?

Being over 40 and still wearing leggings. They're comfortable, what can I say?!

6. Favorite song?

I like cheerful music and my favorite changes constantly. But I'd say at the top of my list right now is Black Eyed Peas 'I Got A Feelin'. It's a great summer fun song. I also like Jason Mraz's, 'I'm Yours'.

7. Favorite movie?

The Notebook

8. Celebrity crush?

I usually say John Cusack but since Liz already named him, I'll go with Jason Statham.

9. Guilty pleasure?

The Canadian Girls will know what I mean by this one... Tim Horton's Ice Capp. I understand they're LOADED with calories! I love them in summer and winter!

10. Elvis oil painting on velvet, pink lawn flamingo or garden gnomes?

Pink Flamingo. Garden gnomes scare me... kinda like clowns!

11. Bad habits?

I'm bad at taking compliments. If someone says something nice to me I have a habit of immediately running myself down somehow. Like... 'You have a nice smile'. Me... 'Oh no! My bottom teeth are crooked!' LOL!

12. Dream vacation?

It would be somewhere tropical and expensive, like Belize, at one of those exclusive private resorts. Well you did say dream vacation! I had to pick something I can't normally afford.

13. Favorite color and why?

When scrapping I would say it's probably green. Although lately I really like smokey grey. It goes with almost any other color as contrast.

14. What are three non-scrap related items you can't live without?

TV (is that a bad thing?), my computer, and my 'rain' sound machine. DH sometimes snores and I'm a light sleeper.

15. If you had a super power, what would it be?

The ability to be in two places at once. I feel as though there's just not enough time in the day.

16. If your life were turned into a movie, who would play you?

Sandra Bullock. She's kinda quirky and funny like me and I think she's got a German background like I do too.

17. What genre would the movie be?

Comedy

18. What's the best advice you've ever been given?

To try to find the humor in things. Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

19. Biggest pet peeve?

Tweeting! It's way too self absorbed! Isn't it enough that we all post blogs about our more interesting activities? Do we now have to share what we ate for supper, where we're shopping at the moment or that we just flossed 97 our teeth? Jeepers! LOL! Don't get me started!

20. Share something interesting about yourself that most people don't know.

I love anything with ginger in it. I'll eat pickled ginger (the shaved pink ginger you find with sushi) by the jarful as a snack. Love it in most of my cooking. I've even chopped up fresh ginger and put it in my chocolate ice cream. Not sure one would consider this interesting, but there you have it.
