1. Have you made a new friend this year?

Why yes, of course! That’s what three weeks in a foreign country will do to you, after all.

2. Have you fallen out of love this year?

No and I couldn’t tell you how happy I am about it!  None of that junk going to happen this year.

3. Have you laughed until you cried this year?

Yes. See any moment with Cate for reference points.

4. Have you met someone who changed you this year?

Several, but I think the one who has probably had the most impact doesn’t even realize it.

5. How many kids do you want to have?

Three, maybe? Also: last night on my Facebook status, I mentioned that while I personally prefer abstinence as my main form of birth control, should I ever need a back-up plan, I can assure you that having someone force me to watch even one episode of Super Nanny would do the trick.

6. Have you ever wanted to change your name?

I love my name now, but there was a period where I wanted to spell it differently: third grade, Ame; fourth grade, Amie; fifth grade, Amye. I also went without the “Beth” part for awhile as well as tried to get people to call me Bridget.

7. When is the last time you saw your mother?

Well, I’ll see her later today — taking my itty bitty baby cousin to her hometown in a bit.  I love having a car seat in the back of my car, especially when little Avey is sitting in it!

8. What is one thing you wish you could change about your life?

Some family relations.

9. What are you listening to right now?

I’m gonna be honest: Live Your Life by T.I. Also, a message for T.I., since I’m sure he reads my blog: Sir, I hope your recent stint in prison taught you that, actually, you can’t have whatever you like.

10. What’s getting on your nerves right now?

The fact that my air conditioning in my new house isn’t working right. I do NOT want to talk about it.

11. What’s your most visited website?

Facebook, I’m sure, given the number of times I update my status each day.

12. What are your nicknames?

Hmm… some people call me AB or ABB. I used to beg people (I’m looking at you, former college roommate Jill!) to call me “Ducky.”  Do you remember that Amanda Bynes movie What A Girl Wants?  Her British grandmother called her “Ducky” in that darling little accent and ever since………. but you must call me that name in a British accent for it to really work, okay?

13. What’s your relationship status?

SAASOC. Translation: single as a slice of cheese.

14. What do you like about yourself?

I like the way I love the guy when I’m in a relationship.

15. Have you ever broken someone’s heart?

Yes, one person. I would still try to make it right to this day if I knew how.

16. Have you had your heart broken?

Oh, yes. And it sure does make it harder to put your heart out there again, doesn’t it?

17. Do you believe in love at first sight?

I believe it could happen, though it never has for me.

18. If you could pick a day from last year and relive it, what day would it be?

This one. Even after everything that happened after it, it was still an amazing moment in my life.

19. Are you afraid of falling in love?

Actually, yes. For the first time in my life, believe it or not. I need to talk to you about it sometime, no?
