1. If you had to could you take a vow of silence for 48 hours hours?
piece of cake. when you're quiet by nature, being quiet isn't really that difficult! wait...i could still email or text right...?
2. What is your favorite kind of soup?
New England Clam Chowdah.
3. How often do you cut your hair?
every six weeks. that's the downfall to short hair. it needs to be maintained regularly or i look like a shaggy dog. highlights are done every other cut.
4. If you had to could you do your own income taxes? And have them be correct?
i have always done my income taxes myself. i don't really have much that complicates them. and to the best of my knowledge there have never been any issues.
5. What is your method to reading a magazine?
i start at the front & work my way through. i don't always do this all in one sitting though. sometimes i mark my page & pick up where i left off at a later time. as i move through the magazine, i pull out anything that i want to file for future reference or make note of any recipes i want to try in a draft for my recipe blog. when i'm done, the magazine gets tossed. i really wish i could find a recycling bin for them though. living in an apartment my only option is the dumpster.

seven. i ♥ magazines!

let's consider this a little bitty preview with borrowed photos til i can get my own photos edited. and also? i'm obviously not in any of the ones i took. ;-)
1. the way Brad Paisley does "love songs" because they somehow come off as "real life" and not super sappy or contrived.
2. August issue of Real Simple!
3. i love that these posts capture a snippet of each of my days. i make a point of finding my five "graces" from each individual day (and yes, some days are more challenging than others) but a fringe benefit of these posts is that they work like a daily version of my monthly Snapshot posts as a result.
4. today Keri left a comment on yesterday's Grace post that made me realize what a charmed life i lead, as a result of it being filled with so many small blessings. i mean, i *knew* this already, on a subconscious level, and doing these daily posts certainly brings life's little pleasures into the spotlight, but for some reason her comment really drove it home for me, and it made me see, yet again...
5. ...that my life is so good. *so* good.
Visit Grace in Small Things
1. a surprise box of goodies in the mail from my Dad.
2. a sparkly clean apartment.
3. Good Housekeeping's August issue arriving in my mailbox!
4. tomatoes, basil & mozzarella cheese: one of the world's most perfect flavor combinations.
5. stretching out in my bed.
