I'm Sabrina, I'm 25 years old and from Ontario, 264/205/160-165
1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A SECOND HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE?
Banff, Alberta. It is amazingly beautiful there, and it's where I got engaged!
2. YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
Would have to be fleecy comfy pants. Mine are getting too big on me now, though, so I'll have to buy some new ones soon! Oh, and I also have the most cozy socks ever...they are fluffy and even softer than fleece!
3. THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT/ACQUIRED?
Can't remember, since I make my own music CD's from downloading songs online
4. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
9:30-10, but today I got up at 8, and I loved that I had more time to do stuff. I also felt better and more motivated to exercise!
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
Coffee maker...I'm a coffee nut!
6. IF YOU COULD PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I used to play the Clarinet, so it would be fun to get back into that again. I also love to sing, but unfortunately I'm too shy to sing in front of anyone. My fiance bugs me about it, because he comes from a musical family and would love to hear me sing...maybe one day...
7. FAVORITE COLOR?
Blue
8. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV ?
I like both, but if I could have one or the other I'd choose a sports car...I'd feel so sexy in a cool sports car!
9. DO YOU BELIEVE IN AFTERLIFE ?
I believe in heaven and hell, but I'm not too sure exactly how that would work. I don't think we're supposed to know. One of the main reasons I believe in heaven is because both of my parents have passed away, but I believe that my mom has still played a part in my life after she has died...because Andre, my fiance, seems to be a gift from her. It might sound ridiculous, but I believe it to be true. He has some traits that remind me so much of her, and also of my dad, and in some ways it is eerie. I know my mom would have absolutely loved Andre, too.
10. FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK?
The one that popped into my mind first was the hungry, hungry caterpillar...you know, the one where it looks like he's eating the actual book?
11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Spring, because it's nice to get out and enjoy exercising outdoors again. I'll enjoy it even more next spring, because I'm sure I'll be thinner and fitter by then, and I'll be able to last longer on rollerblades! Fall is my second favorite, because it's so beautiful here in Ontario in the fall, with the leaves changing and everything.
12. IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
To be able to change the carb count on food sometimes LOL
13. IF YOU HAVE A TATTOO, WHAT IS IT?
No tattoos here...my fiance thinks they are unattractive! I still want to try to convince him that they CAN be sexy, in the right places!!
14. THE ONE PERSON/PEOPLE FROM YOUR PAST YOU WISH YOU COULD GO BACK AND TALK TO?
My mom, to tell her all about how wonderful my fiance is!!!
15. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE DAY?
My birthday! I have a twin sister, and we always have fun enjoying our birthday together.
16. WHAT'S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR/TRUCK?
Battery cables, cigarette lighter air pump, CD player for car, oil, antifreeze
17. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER?
OOH, sushi? Just the thought is gross. Hamburger, all the way!
18. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL?
Andre is standing here watching me type, and he wanted me to say my favorite meal was him LOL!! My favorite "legal" meal is a big tuna salad with lots of stuff in it. My favorite "not legal" meal is pizza, with a big bowl of ice cream after!!
