A week or so ago, I asked a question on my blog: Which blog is on your list of must-reads?
People picked Amy. Here are her answers to some of the more pressing questions of our time.
1. What do you think of heated floors?
Heated floors sound wonderfully indulgent. Alas, in a house that is over 100 years old, one in which I can't both blow dry my hair and have any lights on without blowing a fuse, heated floors are not in the foreseeable future. So, unless my house starts on fire, my floors will remain unheated.
2. How about gas cooktops?
I've never cooked on any other kind of a stove other than a gas cook top. I especially love it when I have to light a match. I must be the only person in the world unable to light a match from a matchbook. If I had an electric stove, I'd have to forgo lighting candles.
3. Who was your favorite Spice Girl?
Posh Spice but only because she nabbed David Beckham.
4. What song on your iPod (or in your album/CD collection) do you feel best represents who you are at this point in your life?
"Don't Ask Me Why" by Billy Joel. I have a 4 year old...'nuff said :)
5. If you are out cruising around town at midnight, are you more likely to hit the drive-thru at Wendy’s or Taco Bell?
If ever I am lucky enough to be awake past 10pm and I find myself cruising around, I usually have a hankering for a cheeseburger. I've found, the best burgers, are McDonald's (sorry Wendy's). I'd happily order a double cheeseburger and a side of fries.
6. Have you ever played with electricity?
Does static electricity count?
I am not brave enough to fool around with electricity. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have a dad that is truly the jack of all trades. When it comes to anything electric, I bat my eyes and sweetly ask my dad for help.
7. Where is one place you have visited that you will definitely try to return to? (Or, if I’m using my English teacher grammar, to which you would like to return?)
I would return to Tahiti in a heartbeat. The world slows down there. You have no choice but to enjoy life, sip tropical drinks and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
Of course, there are so many places I haven't been, chances are Bora Bora will remain at the bottom of the list. I am desperate to get to either Paris or London next. And, don't let 'next' fool you, my last real vacation was over 6 years ago. Next could be 20 years from now.
8. Seafoam or chartreuse?
Chartreuse hands down.
9. Your HONEST opinion regarding burlap is…?
I'm more of a felt kind of a girl.
10. One blogger you love to read is---
This is like asking you pick your favorite child. Of course, I only have one child so that's a bit easier.
There are so many talented, amazing women, who blog, that I now consider friends, picking just one is nearly impossible.
(Kirby here) Thanks, Amy, for indulging me and letting me feature you at Women Who Blog. And have fun with your felt (in an appropriate way, of course).
I would love to go to Tahiti, maybe if Amy goes back she can take me. Cute interview!
ReplyDeleteI'd love too Laura!
DeleteAmy is the best and I am looking forward to meeting her in person!
ReplyDeleteIt's a date!
DeleteEnjoyed the questions. Enjoyed the answers. You guys are fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl.
DeleteThanks so much Kirby for sharing part of your inspiring and funny bit of cyberspace with me.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Amy! Wanna grab a lunch date at McDonald's when you finally decide to vacation in Maryland and visit me? ;) Ha!
ReplyDeleteI consider this a legally binding agreement. I'm packing my bags.
DeleteLove this! Amy is one of my favorite bloggers!! Thanks for featuring her :)

Thank you so much Elena. You know, the feeling is completely mutual.
DeleteAmy is one of my most favourite bloggers ever! And to admit that she eats McDonald's cheeseburgers - I heart her even more.
ReplyDeleteA gas stove? I'm envious. I've always had coil or ceramic cooktop. Not the same, I'm told.
Well done, Amy! :) You're rad-a-riffic!
I've never had anyone envy my gas stove before. Thanks Tara!
DeleteI love Amy, she's one of my faves! Can I tell you though I have a heated floor and use it as little as possible the damn thing costs a fortune to run.
ReplyDeleteYou really do have a mansion, don't you Mel? Heated floors, I'm jealous.
DeleteAmy... have you ever had In-n-Out burger at midnight? That sounds bad, to those that don't know it's a real place.
ReplyDeleteAmy is THE bomb!
Bliss
We need to send Amy directions to her nearest In n Out, even if it several states away.
DeleteBelieve me, my first choice would be In n Out but I'm in Illinois. I like mine animal style :)
Delete"Don't Ask Me Why"....love it...lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea :)
DeleteNice questions and answers ladies! Thanks for a great interview.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen.
DeleteThis is too fun! I can't wait for the next installment. What a fun blogger. How did she get a picture of me with my hair flying everywhere! I tried hairpspray, it just doesn't hold.
ReplyDeleteYou never know where I might be lurking :)
DeleteFun, fun, fun, Kirbs -- leave it to you to appease all the inquiring minds in the blogosphere!
ReplyDeletexo Heidi
Great interview! I am so struck by the depth of the questions! I am going to begin a dissertation on burlap and this is invaluable stuff! (snort)
ReplyDeleteLove, love this interview Kirby! Amy is so awesome ... and this is such a fabulous idea!
ReplyDelete:) Linda
Linda, you make me blush. Thank you.
DeleteAck! Word Verification!!!! Haven't run across one in ages ....
ReplyDeleteOnce I read B's comment I wanted to get in the car and drive to Dallas for an In-N-Out burger. Whenever we go to California, we pig out like crazy! Yum. I wish they'd come here.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do have a McDonald's thing, like Amy. Her little static electricity girl is too cute for words. Fun interview, Kirbs.
Thank you so much Tina!
DeleteObviously great minds think alike because my first thought about indulging in a late night snack was In 'n' Out. There is nothing like an In 'n' Out burger. They started in my home town, about the time I was born, so when McDonald's hit town everyone was in shock that people would actually go to McDonald's - no comparison.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for making me feel better about not having any burlap in my house - been there, done that - 42 years ago when we got married. It was all I could afford for living room curtains.
