enJOY it

…I am filling out the American Express "My Life is _______".

• my name is Elise Joy Blaha.
• childhood ambition to work in a tall building and wear a suit.
• fondest memory most recently, it was screaming my lungs out and dancing at ZBT with the girls.  Overall fondest?  Whenever the fam goes out to dinner and we are all in a good mood.
• soundtrack should be "I get knocked down but I get up again" on repeat.  With occasional pauses for some quality Enya.
• retreat = books
• wildest dream to be a professional scrapbooker and website designer.  And have little children with curly hair that will let me put them in dresses and tights (only the girl).  And have a house with fabulous Christmas decorations (only in December).
• biggest challenge is most certainly, without a doubt, the development of patience.
• alarm clock is internal.
• perfect day involves waffles.  All kinds.
• first job babysit the children.
• indulgence ribbon & m&ms.
• last purchase photographs from snapfish.
• favorite movie "She’s the Man" or "Shakespeare in Love."  They are so similar, it is hard to decide.
• inspiration colors, cool websites, store windows, packaging, greeting cards, catalogs, ikea, most things paper, cloth, plastic, wood, metal.  Oh.  I also am inspired by words.  And photos of words.  And my all time favorite font: Century Gothic.  Recently, I have really enjoyed polka dots.  And lace.  Black and white photos in general.  Waffles.
• my life is blessed.
• my card is a Bank of America Debit Card that actually decided to stop working just two hours ago, making this whole little exercise very ironic.  I think.  I am never sure if I am using irony correctly.  Either way, my new and improved card with a working magnetic strip will be arriving in 5-7 business days.

So, Blogland, I am going to read now.  Thank you, for that.
