Tan Lines & Wine: TGIF & Love Quiz!

TGIF!! I know I’m not the only one excited it’s Friday! I can’t wait to get this weekend started! Do you have big plans? We sure do! Sunday is Mr Tan Lines 29th birthday and I have a few surprises up my sleeve! I’m cooking him a delicious meal tonight, we are having dinner with friends tomorrow night and then going to some fun bars downtown and Sunday I plan to make his favorite meals all day! I love showering him with love, can’t wait for the fun to begin!

I’ve been hearing this story on the radio all week, apparently if you take the quiz below with your SO you are guaranteed to fall in love, Mr Tan Lines and I did something similar on one of our early dates but I definitely wouldn’t attribute that to the “reason” we “fell” in love. I put those in quotations because A you don’t need a “reason” to love someone and B we didn’t “fall” we gradually developed strong feelings for each other that matured over time and turned into love :)

Anyway, I love taking quizzes and surveys so I thought I’d give this one a go, enjoy!

1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?

Ellen DeGeneres! Not only is she someone who inspires us to become better people but I think she would be so much fun to hang out with.

Cell phoneeee I don’t know if this counts though because I always have it with me! Before you go judging me hear me out. Family & pet are safe, photo albums and clothes can all be replaced, I mean really everything in the home can be replaced. Except I have over 3,000 pictures on my phone that I don’t have anywhere else, also 70+ videos including tons of Miss Lily from when she was just a little puppy. I’d be devastated if we lost those! No, I don’t have my phone backed up and yes I know I need to do that! Look at how precious she looks!
