Favorite book, movie, and piece of music:

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch is a good read, I can quote the entire movie Coming To America, and lastly any and all Disney movie tunes make me smile.

Best advice I ever got:

"Good, better, best, never let it rest, til your good is better and your better is best!" –my mom

My last meal would be:

Anything prepared by my grandma Scott. She's the greatest cook on the entire planet! For dessert: a slice of strawberry, white chocolate cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.

First concert I attended:

Bye! Bye! Bye! … any guesses? N'Sync summer jam concert 2001 with two of my besties. I'm pretty sure we dressed up and thought we were grown although one of our parents dropped us off.

If I've learned one thing it's:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world."
-Marianne Williamson

The historical figure I admire the most:

Is my mother and while she’s not historical to the world she's in my history book as everything from best friend to mentor and #1 fan.

Favorite thing about an amusement park:

The long lines of course! No seriously the thrill of riding the biggest roller coaster, so tall, that once you reach the top you overlook the entire park. Oh and let’s not forget the junk food!

First beer:

Was just a sip and it was DISGUSTING- haven’t had any since… Gross!

Web site I cannot live without:

www.thepioneerwoman.com - Ree Drummond’s real-life 40 plus chapter love story is hilarious! First chapter entitled: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels- check it out.
