Wife in Hong Kong tagged me for this meme:
1. What are your current obsessions?
Obsessions? I never obsess about anything ;-)
2. Which item from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
Probably my comfy stretchy travel skirt from Coldwater Creek or its ripoff copies from Target.
3. What’s for dinner?
Dinner tonight was not typical. I finished off the pasta salad DS took to school for lunch because he only ate half of it, then I had half a PB&J. The kids had sandwiches. It was DDs night for Girl Scouts so dinner had to be quick.
4. Last thing you bought?
I went to the supermarket while DD was at Girl Scouts for more cold cuts, milk and Tetley's British Blend. Then I gassed the car up - so petrol was the last thing I bought. (Anyone else notice my schizophrenic code-switching there - American to English?)
5.What are you listening to?
The quiet hum of the computer.
6. Favourite kid’s film?
There are so many good ones! Ratatouille. Wallace & Gromit movies. Flushed Away. Chicken Run.
7. Favourite holiday spots?
The Dordogne, the Loire, and Acadia National Park in Maine. (Except for all the tourists!)
8. What are you reading now?
A mindless beach book that is so unmemorable I can't even remember the title.
9. Four words to describe yourself?
Talkative. Smart. Overweight. Unfocused.
10. Guilty pleasure?
Chocolate
11. Favourite author?
Again, so many to choose from.
12. First spring thing?
Daffodils
13. Planning to travel to next?
Possibly Montréal. Can't afford a trip to the UK right now, but we might as well get some use out of our passports!
14. a) Best thing you ate and b) drank recently?
a) Anything my husband cooked. b) Starbucks dark chocolate frappuccino
15. When did you last get tipsy?
Probably my husband's company Christmas party.
16. Favourite ever film?
Picnic at Hanging Rock (I finally found the book, but had to order it from Australia.)
17. Favourite band?
Not as big a deal in my life as in some people's as I find it hard to do other things while listening to music. Changes on a regular basis, but always 'oldies'. The Police, Les Négresses Vertes, The Housemartins, Pink Floyd . . .
18. What new blogs are you reading?
Haven't really added any new ones to my list recently - it's hard enough keeping up with the ones I already have on my RSS feed. The newest ones on my list are probably Brits'n'Bobs and Another ReDesign of the Wheel.
19. Biggest regret?
Not raising the kids bilingual.
Rules of the meme. Respond and rework. Answer questions on your own blog. Replace one question. Add one question. Tag 8 people. Now I tag
Boojam
Limey at Brits'n'Bobs
Tasha the Coding Mamma
Daffodilly
Nicola
And anyone else who'd like to do this because I see that at least one of the people I put on this list has already been tagged, so I give up . . .
