Meme

Thanks for the meme dear Duyvken! It's been a busy week and I just noticed that I haven't posted since Friday...crazy...So I'm jotting this down very quickly as it's way past my bedtime. I should probably put in some links but I'm running out of time and energy. Oh, and tomorrow I'll pass the meme on to some of you...hmmm.....maybe it will by YOU??!!

Good night all xxxx

Tapas nibblies at opening night of Spanish Film Festival, just a few sips of beer..had to drive home. Gave kids money to get pizza delivered.

That the ants currently invading the hallway of my house are, in fact, termites.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Eating chocolate late at night while standing at the kitchen counter in front of some crappy infomercial while the rest of the family is fast asleep.

Who or what makes you laugh?
The last time I had a really really good laugh was when I walked into the living room to find a softie my daughter made out of felt while I was sleeping, it was in the shape of a can of tuna with a face and it had a note on it that said “The shmexiest can of tuna you’ll ever see.” I ended up calling the can “Tina” and now she keeps me company as I cook dinner.

What is your favourite spring thing to do?
Wear my black birkenstock sandals.

My mother’s chicken soup last Friday night.

When was the last time you were tipsy?
Saturday night two weeks ago when we were invited to our neighbours’ house for an Indian dinner. Mr. Commentbox bought them an expensive bottle of wine (so as to impress them) and I ended up drinking far too much of it. We buy ourselves the cheap wine so I hadn’t realised how good a really good red can taste.

My fingernails look shockingly awful, I’ve been a biter and picker for many years, but I’m working on it, and it’s improving.
