My sweet, wonderful
friend Casey
Herringshaw tagged me in a 20 Random Questions post. So, here goes
everyone!
How tall are you? 5’0 even. Yep. I’m a shrub. Deal with it. I have to.
Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what is it?
It’s hidden. I don’t know. I’m well versed in quick-wit and sarcasm. That’s a talent, right?
3. What’s your biggest blog-related pet peeve?
I’m probably supposed to have one,
but I don’t. Oh wait, yes I do. It annoys me when I “friend” or “follow”
someone and they immediately ask me to read their blog. I don’t care much for
that.

4. What’s your biggest non blog-related pet
peeve?
I don’t like to be interrupted. It’s
true. When I’m in the middle of something and someone, anyone, starts talking to
me I cringe. And if they’re asking something of me, you can bank I’ll either say
no or I’ll make sure they know I’m not happy about it. I didn’t say it was
right. Is there a support group for this?

5. What’s your favorite song?
I love music. So I can’t really pick a favorite song. But I’ve
had David Archuleta’s “To Be With You” on repeat lately b/c it fits a story I’m
plotting.

6. What’s your favorite Etsy shop that isn’t
yours?
What is Etsy?
7. What’s your favorite way to spend your free
time when you’re alone?
Reading of course. Catching up on
shows I’ve DVR’d. Writing.

8. What’s your favorite junk food?
There are other kinds of food?
Huh. I’m a fan of French fries. I could eat them every day. Especially from
Back Yard Burger. O. M.W.

9. Do you have a pet or pets? If so, what
kind and what are their names?
This is not my favorite subject. I
so want to love animals but I can’t seem to make myself. But I do have a
Snorkie (part schnauzer/Yorkshire terrier) and her name is Sarah. That’s all I’m
saying about that.

10. What are your #1 favorite fiction and
nonfiction books?
nonfiction books?
I’m not sure I can give you a #1
fave in fiction, I love too many. As far as non-fiction, it really depends on
what I’m going through at the time and why I pick one up. Probably the Circle
Maker by Mark Batterson has really stuck with me and Beyond the Soiled Curtain
by David & Beth Grant.

11. What’s your favorite beauty
product?
I don’t really use beauty
products. My name is Jessica not Esther. But I like Vaseline’s Shea Butter
lotion and oil.

12. When were you last
embarrassed? What happened?
embarrassed? What happened?
Honestly, I rarely get embarrassed.
I probably should. Is there a support group for that too? But once I remember
total embarrassment and that’s when I cheated on my husband in front of the entire
church. You read that right. I blogged about it HERE.

13. If you could drink one beverage (besides
water) for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I drink Perrier. It is water but
it’s mineral water so it doesn’t count as water. Right? I do love a diet Dr.
Pepper with a shot of cherry from Sonic. I also like their Ocean Water.

14. What’s your favorite movie?
Ah! Toughie. The Princess Bride,
Clue, Jaws, I love all the Harry Potter movies. An Affair to Remember,
Philadelphia Story, It Happened One Night…I have way too many.

15. What were you in high school: prom
queen, nerd, cheerleader, jock, valedictorian, band geek, loner, artist, prep?
I didn’t fit into any of those
categories. I was just me. Some people liked me. Some didn’t. I was in Journalism
and really liked that, but it didn’t define me. Wow, that’s tough.

16. If you could live anywhere in the
world, where would you live?
I’d like to live in Vermont in the fall. But not
winter. I’d like to live on a yacht and go wherever whenever. Yeah. That’s what
I’d like.

PC because that’s what I have. I’m
scared of the Mac!

18. Last romantic gesture from a crush,
date, boy/girlfriend, spouse?
My husband surprised me with tickets to see The Phantom of
the Opera for an early birthday present. It was quite the romantic evening!

19. Favorite celebrity?
I don’t really have a favorite celebrity.
But I think Matthew McConaughay is a wonderful actor and I’ve seen almost
everything that he’s been in, minus Magic Mike and the True Detective show.

20. What blogger do you secretly want to be best
friends with?
Hmmm…I can’t think of one. Not
one. Is that bad? Not that I don’t want to be friends but I am friends with all the blog authors I read from!

***The winner of Sarah Varland’s Tundra Threat is Sandra Orchard!
***Have you signed up for the Patched In? Just jump up to the top right corner and subscribe! And to say thank you, you’ll receive an exclusive Christmas novella by yours truly! Hope Under Mistletoe!
Now, you tell me something about yourself!
Love these answers, Jessica! I think it's so romantic that your husband surprised you with Phantom of the Opera tickets! Love that! I like sparkling water too. In fact, I'm having one right now. 🙂
It was a lot of fun! I'm about to have me a Perrier as soon as I finish responding!
Hmm, what to share? I have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor that few people get. I've actually offended quite a few people with my droll comments. I probably need to work on that.
I find it weird your snorkie shares my name. Sorry, but it's true.
The hidden talent question is weird – if it's hidden, why would you know/share about it?
I need sleep, as evidenced by my random questions. Goodnight! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
~Sarah 🙂
Hi Sarah! Ooooh I totally get the dry, sarcastic humor. We can be peas in a pod. 😉 Although that doesn't sound fun. Being a pea. In a pod. My sister in law has the same name too. In the dog's defense, she had it before we met our human Sarah. My daughter was 2 when she named her and her little friend had just welcomed a baby sister into the world. Guess that baby's name. And there it is.
Jessica!! I LOVE this! You have a great voice, and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you better!!!!! And yes, I'm signing up now…. HUGS!!!!
Thank, Amber!!! I just read yours and loved them, too! Thanks for signing up! Hugs back!

Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?

Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go
for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any tips? Thanks a lot!
Fastidious respond in return of this question with genuine arguments and explaining all
regarding that.
Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise
so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously
appreciated!
I think the admin of this website is in fact working hard in favor of his
website, as here every stuff is quality based material.
Hurrah! In the end I got a weblog from where I be able to truly take helpful information concerning my study and knowledge.
Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic however I
needed to ask. Does building a well-established website like
yours take a large amount of work? I am brand new to
operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience
and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions
or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!
