Questions from Pinstriped Penguin 1. Read any good books lately? Tell us about them. I recently finished The Devil in White City and it was GOOD.  I didn't realize it was non-fiction for like the first half of the book.  I also finished The Silver Lining Playbook which was pretty good and made me excited for the movie.  I'm currently reading The Hobbit because my husband loves it so much and we just watched the movie so I figured why not. 2. Do you have any pets? Yes!  Two fur babies Tuffy and Gizmo.  Written about here and here. 3. Where was your last vacation? For Christmas, we went to my dad and step-mom's in Virginia.  Before that we went to Vegas with some friends before we moved to the East Coast. 4. What's your favorite number and why? 22.  It was always my number in highschool sports.  I think it was my sister's too. 5. If you could be any animal what would you be? A pug.  He sleeps all day, farts whenever he wants, and eats whatever he wants and gets cuddles all the time. 6. What is your favorite show of all time? West Wing (nerd) 7.
