Yes to Talledaga Nights…I usually hate crude over the top humour but I have a weird soft spot for Will Ferrel movies. I think it’s because they don’t try to pretend that they’re not totally ridiculous. Carmel Brûlée is my go to Starbucks treat this time of year too, so tasty!

I’m a huge NASCAR fan and Talladega Nights speaks to my fast-car-loving-soul. Hahaha. It’s funny even if you DON’T watch races. I’m not usually into WF movies, but this one gets me.

I didn’t like pink for a long time but I’ve come back to again, although not pale pink so much. But the more vibrant pinks. I love Clue! And I don’t think HP obsession is geeky at all! 😀 My favorite candle scent is Jasmine, although it can be tough to find high quality ones. Some stink. Jasmine grows in CA, so when it is in bloom, I’ve been known to loiter outside businesses, homes, Churches or wherever it grows. LOL! I love this and will definitely be borrowing it in the future!

I’d say the HP obsession and high-school-music-career are the two geekiest things, but it’s not as “geeky” to be a band nerd now since it’s our livelihood. Ha!

These are such fun questions!!! I had to laugh at Talladega Nights! I haven’t seen it in awhile, but Chris and I quote things from that movie from time to time.

We own it, but we usually only watch it when it’s on TV (which is dumb since it’s so edited, ha). I don’t mean to always have wine on hand, but we typically do. And it’s gets drank 😉
