I swore I was not doing this meme.
But Eleanor is a rock star in my world.
And she tagged me.
So here we go:

Jodi Picoult novels, Twilight/Flat Edward, Penguins hockey, cherry cordial Hershey Kisses
Which item from your wardrobe do you wear most often?
My Old Navy sweetheart-cut jeans – comfy, cute, and perfectly faded.

God only knows.
What's your greatest fear at the moment?
That we are out of rum. And that H won’t get home till 7pm, as is his wont lately.
What are you listening to?
Seg drumming in the basement, Primo smacking a hockey ball around the yard, and some neighbor playing a lovely concerto
If you were a goddess what would you be?
A goddess? Me? Surely you jest.
I’d be one of the Vestal Virgins and I’d be sacrificed.

What is your favourite spring thing to do?
Going to the park after school, with snacks, juice boxes, the soccer ball, and the boys. I optimistically bring my knitting AND a book. And everybody is up there, and I get to hang out with all my mom friends.
Where are you planning to travel next?
Oh, sweet Jesus. Who cares as long as it’s not with my children?
What is the best thing you ate or drank lately?
Ate: Panera’s grilled chicken Caesar salad
Drank: That cold Penn Pilsner last Monday night tasted awesome
When was the last time you were tipsy?
I truly can’t remember, which either means it’s such a standard state of affairs that it doesn’t register, OR I have remarkable self-control. (I will bet on A.)

That I was not cut out to be a mother.

“We Are the Champions”

My teeth are naturally so yellow it’s embarrassing?

"We are the champions" is now stuck in my head. Anything, anything but that!
(Heads off trying to remember the words to an innocuous Mary Poppins number...)
Just finished "Pants", rented the movie for this weekend and requested the second.
What do you think of "Nineteen Minutes"?
Mmmmm chocolate in bed! Best of all worlds.
I like those afternoons too.
They make cherry cordial Hershey Kisses??!! I seriously have to visit the US again, soon.
I also adore Moonstruck.
You made me laugh out loud with your answer to what you learn from your kids. I really really wish that I had written that myself.
14 times?!!! I think that's bloody fabulous. You are a LEGEND.
P.S. Please tell flat Edward I send my love....
I love Moonstruck too.
And know that I need to read Pants..
How do you like The Other Bolyn Girl? It has been on that pile of books I plan to read for a while now.
wv: process
Well, I finished New Moon and ... I still don't get it. I just don't get it. I DO NOT GET WHY ANYONE OVER AGE 14 LIKES THESE BOOKS. What is WRONG with me? Am I just an unimaginative, humorless git? A dried-up husk of beef jerky with no heart? WHAT?
How is Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie? It is on my wish list and don't know whether to hit"buy".
Oh and Happy Mother's Day!
You most definitely are cut out to be a mother! You rock.
I have the belly thing too. Do you also have the flat butt that goes with it?
