Ask Away Friday

I do love it for the feel that it gave the front of the house. In another sense I think it is a bit bare but I know it will fill in after time. Once the spring arrives and things start to bloom I’ll evaluate whether or not a few more bushes need to be added. Now I want to paint the door and the shutters…we’ll get to that eventually.

I don’t want to talk about it! We had an issue with the contractor and a water pipe and spraying water. So yeah. Right now that project is on hold and my bathroom has a wheelbarrow in it that I have to climb over whenever I need to get in my closet. *throws things*

Community hands down is my favorite part of blogging. My least favorite would have to be the clicks. I understand that naturally everyone will click up based on their interests but I can’t stand when people refuse to go out of their click to support other bloggers. I find it terribly disturbing that there seems to be a color line as well. I don’t have nearly as many white readers as blacks considering that I read a plethora of blogs by women of all colors who blog about the same things I do but yet and still… I suppose we  have nothing in common *smirks*

I want my blog to grow organically. I don’t really seek blog readers like I should because I want them to come here because they wanted to not because they were forced. I am thinking I may need to put a little more effort into marketing my little piece of real estate here on the interwebs. I think my blog has had some amazing opportunities but there could be more if I put more effort into it. Overall I am proud of my blog because it’s purpose is to share my rants and raves. Everything else is extra.

I love Facebook. Twitter used to be my favorite but I find Facebook more engaging especially when I have a lot to say!

In a chair by my fire place. My favorite locations vary. I normally blog within my home. I am looking forward to finishing our office space so that I can have a dedicated area. I don’t know when that will happen!

Both! Funny I am drinking tea now but from time to time I get a craving for coffee. Technically I suppose the answer should be tea because I have lots of tea bags and no coffee maker.

I am natural but I love my hair straight. Being natural isn’t a soul searching epiphany for me. I just didn’t want to perm anymore so I have no qualms with straightening my hair. I take horrible care of my hair, I usually just go to the hair stylist. I maintain by wrapping at night. I only put heat on it once a month.

I’ve been told I dress like an old woman. I love classic and functional looks. I don’t like a whole lot of trendy items. Give me a good oxford, a cardigan, a scarf, a good jean and a stiletto and I’m good. I’ll mix and match those pieces and add accessories. For the items I don’t thrift I spend good money on. I would rather build my wardrobe with quality pieces than every trendy item to hit the scene. I have a few trendy items but I normally grab them from Target or Marshalls. Oh…and I love my Uggs!
