Fridays are for… questions
I always try to make it easy to get a sense of who I am & what I’m up to no matter when you find me in my story, but I’m sure I’ve probably missed something…. so I thought it would be fun to do a Q & A post!
Is there something you’ve been wondering about? Ask me anything & I’ll get back to you soon in an answers post. :)
I’ll even start you off with a potentially little known fact about me:
You wouldn’t know it from the pictures I post, but I wear glasses 99% of the time. Until this year I had really tiny frames that didn’t work well in pictures, so I always took them off. I’m still trying to break the habit!
See you next week with lots of pictures ( my finished tattoo + pretend wedding included!)
& my announcement too :)
Any questions?
What has been the hardest part of marriage so far? The easiest?
It doesn’t seem like anyone has asked the music question- what’s your favorite band and musician? What music inspires you? What’s on your workout playlist? :)
i think you’re one of those people that can pull off any look! you look really cute with glasses.
So, this is a bit of a technical question, but what plug-in (if its a plugin) that you use to automatically send emails to the commenter if you reply to one of their comments??
Where did your name come from? Do you like it?
I didn’t read through everyone’s questions, so if these are duplicates- sorry!!
1. What’s your favorite iPhone app?
2. I saw you tweeted that you put your blog on fbook. Was that weird?
Anywho, you are too cute in your glasses. Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday afternoon. :)
I know you’ve spoken of your home before but…
What would you say about the place you live to “sell” it to a prospective traveller?
Heya
Your blog is one of those I visit everyday. However, I don’t always comment. I guess I was wondering about your life, is it the one you always wanted, are you moving towards certain goals, how did you get where you are today, did you have a plan? Pretty random questions I know, but the idea of moving from the life I have to the life I want, and how to facilitate that, is in my head at the moment!
you’re so adorable in glasses. i can’t pull off wearing them that often!
I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend friend!
1. What’s your favorite book?
2. What’s your favorite way to spend an afternoon?
oooooOOoooOo! I love this!
I have two questions (one I’ve been dying to ask):
1. Now that its been a year, how are your wallpapered cupboards holding up? Do the wash well? Any tips or tircks? I love the idea for my own kitchen, which has the same fugly melamine cabinets.
2. What do you do with your Canadian Tire money?
Alright Kyla! This is really cliche but I often think about this when I’m on a plane – (Lost style) – if it were to crash and everyone on the plane were to be stranded in a deserted place – what role would you play in the group? The island builder? The hussy? The motherly one? etc etc and what role would Mister play?
Oh, my favorite kind of posts!
1. I’m sure you’ve probably answered this before, but how did you and the Mister meet?
2. If you could, describe the perfect Saturday.
3. How do you manage to keep up with all this blog work, comment on other blogs, and maintain an active outside life, being a wife, business owner, worker, etc.?!
i’m so stoked to see your finished tattoo and pretend wedding! eeek!
hhmm… i can’t think of any questions right now. but i know once i click out of your blog i’ll totally think of something, that’s how it always is. ;)
If you had to teach one subject for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hah–everyone wants you stateside! I agree!
What are your quirkiest habits and how do they mesh with your husband’s?
What was the first CD you ever got or bought? {mine was Hanson!}
What’s your favorite flashback TV show? {I’m currently reliving Felicity}
What do you do for work?
(I’m assuming you’re in the graphic design field since the graphics you use on your blog are always super cute! Am I right?)
I think you look cute in glasses! I hate mine ~ I always take them off for pics and wear contacts some of the time (I’d wear them all the time but pregnancy made my eyes really dry so they get to be painful after a couple of hours!). I’m trying to convince Nathan we need to save up for laser surgery for me instead of buy a new car :D
My question: You’ve commented on my blog a few times when I’ve posted about horsey things. What’s your horse experience? Any funny stories? Fall stories are always entertaining :D
I was going to ask the same thing as Liz… What do you do for a living. Never read anything about it. just curious…oh, and I love your blog.
even though your hair is super cute short do you ever think about growing it out and wearing it long?
I love Q&A posts… might do one myself pretty soon.
So, here’s my question:
What do you like MOST about blogging?
Before I got my magic laser eyes, I wore glasses all the time. I think I might have one photo (maybe two) of me with my glasses on. It was totally a vanity thing for me – I hated how I looked in glasses. It’s not the main reason I had corrective surgery but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t one of the reasons.
Alright. My question. When life gets overwhelming (as I’m sure it does Miss blogger, student, wife, puppy momma, employee, indie business owner, crafter, cook extraordinaire!), how do you de-stress? What calms you down and grounds you?
Why do you think you have so many followers?
Ooh, I have so many questions! I love your blog and your style, so much. You are an inspiration to me :)
1. As someone else mentioned, you are a bit of a blog hero and have so many readers. I love how open and honest you are in your posts, but do you ever struggle with how much to share on your blog? How do you decide what to share? Any advice for how to be open without feeling like you’re sharing too much?
2. My favorite posts are the ones with stories (you are a wonderful writer!). Can you share a little about your writing process? What makes a good story?
3. How do you balance it all– marriage, blogging, crafting, building an indie biz, a job, etc?
I’m all about getting more for less while still living a fabulous lifestyle. Any thrifty tips?
You look good with glasses! When I was younger I always wanted to wear glasses. I tried those fake ones but I didn’t last long with them.
Probably a stupid question but do you cuss?
What are your thoughts on having babies? I feel like I haven’t read anything one way or another – do you and Mister plan to bring little ones into the world someday?
What is your go-to, everyday wine?
And do you do all your web design work yourself?
You’re so cute with glasses! You should definitely wear them in all of your photos. I know what you mean, though, I have the WORST vision and ALWAYS have contacts in. When I occasionally do wear my glasses I’ll usually take them off for photos.
OK, questions, hmmmm:
1. I consider you a bit of a blogging celeb, I mean, EVERYONE knows who Kyla Roma is. How do you feel about that?
2. What made you decide to use your actual name as your blog URL?
3. I had just started reading your old blog when you stopped blogging for awhile. What made you take that break?
4. (Not a question) but PLEASE don’t move to the States!!! Canadian Girls FTW! ;)
I love your glasses! They look really cute on you. I’m always iffy about taking pics with my glasses on, I think mostly because I don’t have a pair that I’m really in love with for photos. But I hope to change that soon!
Let’s see…questions…
Ok! Cheesy, maybe, but, what’s your favorite movie? :P
Rhetorical question:
How did you get so friggin’ CUTE?!?!
Also, if you move to the States (As SO MANY of your readers seem to be keen on – SHAME ON YOU, PEOPLE! YOU HAVE ENOUGH COOL PEOPLE – GET YOUR STICKY LITTLE HANDS OFF OUR GIRL!), I will be very upset.
Boooo-urns to all the people who want Kyla to move to the States!
Winnipeg has few enough vegetarians as it is!
1. what made you decide to start blogging in the first place?
2. what are your top 5 pet peeves?
3. if you had all the money in the world but could only buy Mister one thing with it, what would it be?
This might be a silly question but what do you do as a job? Sorry, I’m a new reader. :-)
Would you & Mister ever consider moving stateside? And if so, to what city/state?
What’s your stance on soulmates/true love?
And lastly, is it possible to have a blog soul sister? ;-) (you don’t have to answer that one since it’s kind of silly.)
GOOD LUCK with your tattoo today!
Here’s a simple (maybe even mundane) question: why not wear contacts?
Have fun on the next step of your tattooing adventure!
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream or sorbet?
What do you think you miss most about not living in a big city? (I know, I know, Winnipeg is a city, I’m not trying to knock it, but even Boston has things Minnesota doesn’t have. As in, really good dim sum. Minnesota still wins on the Szechuan front, and Bloomington, IL wins for Indian food…but Boston being a big city offers a lot)
If you could spend an entire day, but just one day, anywhere, where would you go?
If I’m not mistaken, Mister is from Minnesota. Would you two ever consider leaving Canada for your southern neighbor? If so, what would it take to get you here? (cough cough)
You are gorgeous in glasses! If I weren’t a regular contacts wearer I’d have to sport them all the time, and did until after grade nine.
Where do you next want to travel?
My question to you is…
Do you think you would like England, and why/why not?
I’m trying to think of a good question, but the best I can come up with right now is can you please put up more puppy pictures? Those guys are just too cute!
I do have a question! You have such a wonderfully designed blog, with great vintage style that I just adore. Where do you find a lot of your graphics to create your images and such? Do you know of sites with free graphics, do you buy them, or do you make your own with PS?
Glasses look great on you! I love wearing my glasses but I don’t wear them very often because I hate running with my glasses on! I should have worn them today though since today is a rest day. maybe I will declare Friday “glasses day” for the rest of the summer. :)
Questions for you…
1. What’s your favorite Vegetarian Recipe.
2. What’s the best vacation you’ve been on?
3. Do you think you’ll get another tattoo? If so, what would you get?
Happy Friday!
