10 Things “No One Knows About Me” Tag

I was tagged by Pink In A Sea Of Blue to list 10 things about me that people might not know. ‘Pink’ was also the winner of my give-away last week. We both have a son with the same name. I bet you didn’t know that! 🙂1.
I do not get my nails ‘done’. I’m a hands on kinda gal and I’m too active to keep a manicure looking nice and I don’t like to commit to weekly appointments for anything.

2.
I am a commensurate list maker when I am entertaining for a dinner or party. I make pages of them and even make a time table and work my way backwards to when I have to start my day’s errands and preparation work.

3.
I pack late at night the day before a trip. When it comes to travel I do not plan well.

4.
I hate emptying the dishwasher.

5.
I love the smell of a paperback and will flip the pages while I’m reading and drink in summer.

6.
I honeymooned in New England for 3 weeks in autumn and always wished I had lived there or on the east coast.

7.
I tend to procrastinate but to my credit I work best under pressure.

8.
I am becoming even more conservative, if that is possible (or rigid?) as I ‘mature.’

9.
In my early 20’s, I once borrowed my Irish coffee cup as a souvenir from the Buena Vista in San Francisco that I have not returned yet. It is the only souvenir I have ever ‘borrowed’ and now I feel like a derelict.

10.
I was born in Los Angeles in The French Hospital in Chinatown and was delivered by my uncle.

I would love to read your Top 10, so please grab this tag and play along!

“1,2,3” – Gloria Estefan

Crab Season.

If your man is going to wear critters this summer…. Please, wear these … Not these! I don’t know about you but this reminds me of a subtle PSA in middle school. Theme to Deadliest Catch – “Wanted Dead or Alive” – Bon Jovi

“SacreBleu!”

Just once I’d like to own a pair of CL red soled shoes. I really do love these. So Audrey. Even without the kitten heal. Perfect for the destination wedding this week.

How Could I Resist?

After all our celebrations last week I have been in an ‘after-parties-let-down funk’ and have resorted to eating mass quantities of dark chocolate and chips and salsa as college boy returned to Boston and the new graduate headed for the hills with his gf’s family to camp. Suddenly, I was faced with my first real taste of the empty nest. I hated it. To trade one vice for the other I crossed over to the dark side of retail therapy… [Read More]
