Queen. 

I would have loved to see Freddie Mercury perform live.

FAVORITE MUSIC ARTIST/BAND

I love music but I don't keep up much with current artists/bands. I tend to just like random songs. To pick just one, though, I do like some stuff from Imagine Dragons.

HOW DO YOU LISTEN? STREAMING, CDS, VINYL?

In the car I listen to Sirius/XM (80's station, First Wave). At home I use my iPod or the iHeartRadio app.

WHAT'S THE FIRST CONCERT YOU EVER ATTENDED?

TBB Asks: Fall 2.0

The Blended Blog has weekly prompts and while I often find them interesting I've never taken part before. But I'm so happy to be welcoming Fall that I decided to jump on board with their Fall 2.0 prompt. 

1. FAVORITE FALL COLOR

It must be said: I loathe the color orange. It's vile. So even when decorating the house for fall I try to steer clear of orange tones. Same with the wardrobe. Instead I love deep plums and purples and wines. Sooo gorgeous.

2. APPLE CIDER - HOT OR COLD?

I love apple cider but unfortunately here at home I'm alone in that sentiment so I rarely buy it. Maybe this weekend I'll treat myself to some anyway. I love it any way at all, but hot is best.

3. CARAMEL APPLE - YES OR NO?

Meh. I'll say no. Not really a fan.

4. PUMPKIN DOUGHNUT OR APPLE CIDER DOUGHNUT?

Oh my. I don't really have a sweet tooth but even I think both of those options sound yummy. I don't know that I've ever had an apple cider doughnut but I'd be up to trying one. :)

5. LONG OR SHORT CARDIGAN?

Bring on the cardigans! I never met a cardi I didn't like and tend to wear them year-round - light-weight ones in the warmer months, chunkier ones in colder weather. And while I love a good long cardigan I find they can be trickier to style, so I'll go with short cardigans.

6. FAVORITE FOOTBALL OR FALL PARTY FOOD?

I don't know that this is specific to fall, but I love me some buffalo chicken dip. There are a million variations (and heat levels) but I keep it simple. And it's such a perfect game day snack. (And now I'm craving it.) 

7. ORANGE OR WHITE PUMPKINS?

Um, didn't we just discuss my feeling for the color orange? So even though orange is traditionally the color of pumpkins, I go for the white ones. They're unique, they're pretty, and they're easy to decorate with.

8. HAYRIDE OR BONFIRE?

Bonfire. When I think of hayrides all that comes to mind is itching and sneezing. 

9. FAVORITE FALL BAKED GOOD?

Again, no real sweet tooth, but maybe something on the not-too-sweet side like pumpkin bread.

10. MOST ANTICIPATED FALL ACTIVITY?

Birthdays! While it doesn't sound like a typical fall activity, fall to me has long meant a batch of family birthdays. From September 30 to November 10 there are five birthdays in my family and it helps make this a fun time of year.

Do you prefer orange or white pumpkins?

What's your favorite fall treat?

Do you have a special fall activity you're looking forward to?
