happy valentine's day lovers! i hope that however, and whoever you're spending the day with, that you've been spoiled and treasured as much as you deserve. enough with the love-in, i want you to meet the very first sponsor of being erica, tiff of ramblings of a southern belle.
hi tiff! welcome to being erica, and thank you so much for being my very first sponsor. now, for my readers to get to know you a bit better, i've come up with the 10 most important 'need to know' questions i can think of. are you ready? let's go!
[erica] what is your middle name, and would you change your name if you could?
[tiff] Well...my middle name is Frances. Growing up I hated the name...then one day...at my Memaw's house she called me by my full name - which meant I was in trouble...in the South...that usually involves a switch. Anywhooo... I said "I hate my middle name!" She stopped, turned around, looked at me...tears in her eyes and said "You were named after me". Needless to say I was a rotten horrible kid that deserved that switch that day. After that day, I became a fan of my middle name...because after all I was a HUGE fan of my Memaw! I love my middle name even more now...since she is gone. So nope...wouldn't change it for anything!
[erica] i had to google switch. it means what i thought it would... so would have loved my name after that too!
[erica] describe your style in 3 words.
[tiff] ummm...which season and what day of the week? LOL! General: Trendy, Flashy, Not Trashy! LOL! No...seriously I can't answer that in three words. During the week at home...it's jeans, a t-shirt, Coach tennie's and a Juicy Couture handbag or a Michael Kors handbag. But on the weekends I love to get dressed up...either for a night out in a cool pair of jeans, a hip top and HIGH HEELS! OH and I can't forget the perfume...either Juicy Couture or my newest obsession Prada's "Candy".
[erica] what is your favourite movie, and can you recite a line from it for us?
[tiff] That is easy...Steel Magnolias "Weeza, you sound almost chipper. What happened today - you run over a small child or something?" I'm convinced I will be Weeza when I'm old! Can I tell you another line?
[erica] of course!
[tiff] I use this...seriously use it because I mean it; "I have a strict rule, nobody cries alone in my presence!"
[erica] tea or coffee, and how do you take it?
[tiff] COFFEE! At home I like it with sweet-n-low and fat free creamer. At Starbucks...oh...that's a whole other ball of wax..."Venti Vanilla Frappuccino with 2 sweet-n-lows and the whipped cream BLENDED in NOT on top" I usually get weird looks...but hey...I wanted to sound "Trendy too" LOL!
[erica] scrambled or poached, and with what on the side?
[tiff] OOOH...Fried (I'm a Southern girl) with bacon, grits and hashbrowns! oh...and Ketchup too...for the eggs. I KNOW...I'm weird!
[erica] ooh girl, i put sauce on everything too. it's all good, you're safe here.
[erica] what inspired you to start blogging?
[tiff] Well...I've had so many blogs...about shelties, family, scrapbooking - even had my own shop...digital that is...for a while...I miss it...but none of them were ME. So...I deleted all the blogs and decided that I wanted to write a blog that was about WHAT I LOVE! I'm learning to find my voice!
[erica] what one food would you survive on forever, and can you cook it?
[tiff] Hmmmm....Chicken and yellow rice...and yep...I know how to make it! I'll be back...now I'm hungry! LOL!
[erica] what's your secret to staying so young - i can't believe you have a 23 y.o son!?
[tiff] Secret to staying young...well...yes, I do have a son who will be 24 the day before Valentine's Day. I had him when I was 18 so that kinda keeps me young in years! LOL! Seriously, I look at myself as being young. I dress young, and feel fabulous when I do. I used to say I would NEVER quote my parents...but in this instance...they are right..."You are only as old as you feel!" and most times I feel as if I'm in my 30's! I wouldn't want to go any younger!
[erica] if you won the lottery, what's the first selfish thing you would buy?
[tiff] OH I know this off the top! I'd buy the most amazing emerald and diamond ring that Tiffany's has to offer! I've seen one...even tried it on...but the $250,000 price tag...and the cop standing next to me...made me hand it back! LOL!
[erica] gutless! haha!
well darlin', i definitely feel like we all know the 'real tiff' after those brilliant answers! you're so energetic and youthful, and i especially love that you call your grandmother memaw - just like sheldon in bing bang! thanks again for stopping by and sittin' a spell (is that the right expression?) on my side bar this month. yeeehaaaaaw, little lady!
