Sunday Social

What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Ooo, I LOVE ice cream and I love all the different flavors! But I'd have to say it's a tie between chocolate chip cookie dough and the different chocolate flavors. 

What is your favorite smell? Fall fragrances, balsam,  cookies baking, cooking fragrances, the sweet fragrances, and so many more! I love fragrances, they connect me to past memories and make me happy. I love candles too! 

What is your favorite TV commercial? I love the Geico commercial with the tree. It's so funny!

What is your favorite day of the week? Hmmm.... I like Friday and Saturday. 

What is your favorite way to waste time? Blogging, watching tv, shopping, watching movies and videos online, baking, looking up free samples, entering giveaways, and OMG, I could go on forever. I have a lot of free time right now! 

What is your favorite article of clothing? My white cable knit sweater from Urban Outfitters and leggings.

This weeks themes:

watching, reminding, searching, waiting, regretting

I'm currently watching nothing; just flipping the channels right now. I was watching behind the scenes of the making of The Sound Of Music with Carrie Underwood. Extreme Cheapskates will be on soon! Yay! I love that show and how crazy people can be!

I'm currently reminding myself to watch Extreme Cheapskate tonight and Breaking The Faith about the  FLDS religion on Sunday.

I'm currently searching for free samples, jobs, and my ancestors. I've been doing my family tree since I was in the 7th grade. I love finding new ancestors and new great-whatever grandparents and distant cousins.

I'm currently waiting for Thanksgiving! I can't wait to spend my first year with my fiance, dig into some yummy food, and eat my Chocolate Pecan Pie tomorrow!

I'm currently regretting nothing right now. Tomorrow I'll regret eating so much food though!

This weeks themes:

missing, reading, drinking, eating, planning

I'm currently missing my fiance (like always) and my debit card. I had to cancel it last year because I was going a little crazy with it. 

I'm currently reading new blog and all the posts on my dashboard this morning. I used to read books, but blogs have replaced that. 

I'm currently drinking nothing. I did have water this morning though. 

I'm currently eating some caramels. I shouldn't be though. I need them for when I bake cookies tomorrow.

I'm currently planning on my wedding (like usual) and baking cookies.

Sweater Weather Tag

I saw this post over at Sweet Happenings and I knew I had to do it. 

Favorite candle scent?
Hmmm...probably Autumn Wreath from Yankee Candle. But I also love Pumpkin Spice candles just as much. Ok, I  love all the fall scented candles out there. 

Coffee, Tea, or Hot Chocolate?
Hot chocolate! I hate coffee and tea. I only drink tea when I'm really sick and even then I hardly drink it. I take like a few sips and I'm done. 

Do you switch up your makeup routine for the season?
Nope. I like makeup, but I don't wear a lot or wear it that often; even though I have a ton of it. 

Favorite Thanksgiving food?
Stuffing (my grandfather makes the best kind, it's better than the box), pecan pie, 

Hats or scarves? 
Scarves definitely! 

Most worn sweater?
I have this cable knit (I think it's that) white sweater top from Urban Outfitters that I absolutely love! It's warm, comfy, and it looks great on me. 

Must have Fall nail polish?
I don't have one. I just wear whatever color I like. 

Football games or jumping in a pile of leaves?
I'm not a fan of football or any sport for that matter, so I'm going to have to go with jumping in a pile of leaves. 

Skinny jeans or leggings?
Leggings. I used to hate them, but ever since I put on some weight, I've been in love with them and living in them. 

Boots or Uggs?
Boots. I have a pair of Uggs, but I hate them and I dread wearing them. They're not comfortable and I feel like I'm wearing moon boots. Plus, they're not stylish in my opinion and when it gets really cold here in NYC, they don't keep my feet warm. 

What is your #1 favorite thing about Fall?
The scents! 

Do you have a song that gets you in the Fall mood or just a song you're loving at the moment?
Hmmm...not really. I haven't actually sat down and listened to new music in awhile. But I've been listening to Applause by Lady Gaga and The Saturday's new CD non stop. 

What is the Fall weather like where you currently live?
It all depends on what mother nature's in the mood for. About a year or 2 ago, it was really mild. We had 50-80 degree weather. Some years it's really cold and winter is a continuation of fall, they just mesh together. Other years, like this fall, it's a mix. Some days are mild, in the 
60's, and other days it's in the 30's and 40's. NYC fall is crazy and moody. Mother nature has mood swings and is bipolar at times.
