Hey and welcome Gingerjenn.

I scored VERY high on that list myself!LOL

My husband is a German Architect (went on the Frank Lloyd Wright tour last time we were in Chicago and it was the greatest...) have all of those Apple products listed. I couldn't believe it... Even the sticker on our car!lol

We are both coffee aficionados and I just LOVE 80's music. And I have a box full of scarves...SMH lol.

We own a lovely home that is almost 100 years old and it's decorated beautifully modern.

I am the appliance Queen and we can't wait to start our boys playing soccer.

Yeah, that list was funny and I was like oh my goodness...

And I was thinking who doesn't like to have (and be invited to) dinner parties? This is "white"? They're really fun as is trying new wines.

Really, I believe it's more of a class & cultural thing and "race" doesn't have anything to do with it.

It all has to do with how you were raised and who you associated with/were drawn to during your formative years.

I liked #20 "Being an expert on YOUR culture." Such as, for example compiling a list of things that another "culture" likes.
