tag

Okay, here's how bad I am... I don't even remember who tagged me or how long ago it was! But I've been laying around with extra time on my hands, alternating a hot pack/cold pack on my back, so here are my finished answers once and for all! I'm not going to tag anyone specifically either, because some love to play and some just don't. So if you want to play, I'd love to hear your answers! If not, that's ok too :)

What is your current obsession?
anything creative and colorful

What is your weirdest obsession?
reduced fat Ruffles potato chips - I think I’m slowly trying to kill myself with salt

What are you wearing today?
usually jeans and a tie dye shirt but today my jammies

What's for dinner?
probably corn quesadillas w/ guacamole but I never think very far ahead

What would you eat for your last meal?
spaghetti w/ meat sauce and mushrooms from Lombardi’s in Cambria, corn on the cob w/ butter and salt & pepper (I know - you normally wouldn’t eat that w/ spaghetti, but this IS my last meal.....), and homemade flan from Sandpoint Idaho.

What's the last thing you bought?
multi-colored polka dot dishes from Pier 1 Imports

What are you listening to right now?
the fan

What is your favorite ice-cream flavour?
no ice cream for me unless I want to be ill for days

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
Wow. That’s hard. Definitely somewhere in the mountains but I haven’t been to enough mountainy places around the world. I'm going to say Switzerland, British Columbia, or Sandpoint Idaho.

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Edinburgh, Scotland

Which language do you want to learn?
I don’t

What's your favorite quote (for now)?
It’s from Gandhi and I’ll paraphrase:
“You can tell the greatness of a nation by the way it treats it’s animals”

What is your favorite colour?
Color is my bliss and I love all things colorful. But my big favorites are yellow, red and turquoise. I have another favorite, which is pink, but it’s like my sacred favorite or something - I rarely use it or decorate with it. Perhaps it’s because I lead a life surrounded by boys that I keep pink seperate, all to myself. Wow, that was a long answer.

What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
I think my tie dye t-shirts are half my identity and half my security blanket

What is your dream job?
a writer, photographer, artist, and singer all mixed together

What's your favourite magazine?
for years it was Country Home, which just folded :( But I do love Guideposts - it restores my faith

If you had £100 now, what would you spend it on?
It totally depends on my mood - it could be any of the following:
a) coffee table books
b) something from an antiques store (probably a quilt)
c) arts & crafts supplies or gardening supplies
d) fun stuff for my dogs
e) eBay or Etsy

Do you admire any one's style?
Strangely, no. I wish I did.

Describe your personal style?
casual to a fault, super colorful, earring-conscious, perhaps a little too groovy

What are you going to do after this?
visit some blogs and then take a nap

What are your favourite movies?
I have lots of favorites. After years of all types of movies though, I pretty much stick with light-hearted ones now. The state of the world sucks my emotional sanity out of me - I enjoy movies that restore it. "Chocolat" is an example.

What's your favourite fruit?
bananas and strawberries - almost all berries actually. oooh - and seedless watermelon

What inspires you?
music, color, art, crafts, photos, a well done display, textiles, visiting other blogs I admire. Kind-hearted people.

Your favorite book?
probably To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, but I have a LOT of favorites

Do you collect something ?
old quilts and vintage croquet balls
