Rules: Try to answer the following questions, and leave your answers in the comments section.
I've made these a little tricksy since some of my close friends read this blog and I want to make it at least a little challenging! Whoever gets the most right answers first, will win their choice of owl print (8 x 10 print)! You will have the prestigious honor of being the first (besides my mom) to have an owl print by me. You'll be able to say... "I won the first owl print, waaaaaay back when, when she was just a struggling blogger..."

I wonder what it means that without looking at anyone else's answers, I SWEAR, I have the exact same answers as Erin, except I took the Shel Silverstein poem for the tie breaker.
You're all so good!! But nobody's hit 100% yet (I would be REALLY surprised if someone did...I kind of made this tricky to even out the playing field...).
Oh, this is hard!
1. b (you've probably mentioned this before but I don't remember and since I know you grew up in Oregon, logging seems logical)
2. d (I know The Terror was you favorite book of the year last year, but I think Little Women is your all-time fav)
3. a (totally guessing on this)
4. a (pretty sure on this one)
5. b (or is it c? no, b is worse)
6. c (this is a tough one since I know you like gardening and pets but the photographer and artist part clinched my choice)
7. b (I went with c first, should I have stayed with my first impression?)
8. b (maybe this is what I would listen to if I were painting!)
9. d (like winter in MN, rain in OR can't keep you indoors!)
10. c (seems more OR but I can see you in fairy wings too)
Bonus: a ( a complete guess but considering your babysitting gigs, I think this one is it)
How'd I do? (I didn't look at anyone else's answers before I did mine)
Time's up! Who won?!
(Who, me? Competitive, need-to-be-the-best-at-everything Virgo? I have no idea what you're talking about!)
