I seem to be letting the blog lapse these days - a week between posts! Maybe that will all change in the winter? This week I was tagged by
lina so here goes...
The rules are:
1. Respond and rework. Answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your own invention; add a question of your own.
2. Tag eight other un-tagged people.
What is your current obsession? Finding new vegetarian recipes to make at home.
What are you wearing right now? Black shorts, green tee... very plain.
Do you nap a lot? Yes, but not at much as I'd like to!
Who was the last person you hugged? A boy whose name starts with S.
If you were a tree, what tree would you be? A pine tree so I could smell like Christmas! Strange question.
What’s for dinner? I just tweeted about it so you'll have to look
there.
What was the last thing you bought? Bed sheets yesterday (not counting the cocktails last night).
What are you listening to right now? Charge Group because a friend just gave me the CD.
What is your favourite weather? Summer for the beach, Autumn for the leaves, Winter for the knitting and Spring for the flowers. Yep, pretty much all of it.
What’s on your beside table? A few books, paper, a pen,
frankie magazine.
Say something to the person/s who tagged you. Hello Lina! Your blog is very sweet :)
If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? Easy: New York City.
Where are you typing from right now? The desk in my kitchen.
A book you're currently reading? Just started "
Holy Cow!" by Sarah MacDonald (on loan from a friend).
What would you like to have in your hands right now? One of the banana choc-chip muffins I made yesterday. They're actually only an arms length away but saving it for the couch with a cup of tea.
What is your favourite tea flavour? Lady Grey.
What would you like to get rid of? My worst case scenario tendencies and the ominous sense of doom for the world. Sometimes it's better to just be happy with 'now'. Sorry, too heavy?
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? I'm actually looking forward to relaxing in my living room!
What did you want to become as a child? I kept changing my mind, and still haven't decided for sure...
I'm breaking 'the rules' and won't tag anyone this time but feel free to tag yourself.
I can't remember if I've ever used this photo for a blog post before. I've had it as my profile picture all over the place for a long time so I think it's almost time to go; a new beginning and such. My February resolutions will stand (including #3!), I'm just postponing until March, or maybe April. Seeya then!
I'm slowly getting back into some kind of routine, but life is busy at the moment! To recap 2009, these are my favourite posts of each month from my blog (no explanations, you can just peruse them if you feel like it):
My little Macbook is so clever - it has a built in camera that's opened me up to the world of Skype video chatting to friends all over the globe! It also has a nifty little program called Photo Booth, where you can either take regular photos or use a preset effect like this one, which has turned my kitchen into a comic! I'm easily amused.
Happy New Year everyone! I'm looking forward to 2009, and sticking to my new year's resolutions this time. I finished crocheting the blue beret but not 100% happy with it so have started creating version 2.0 (if it works out I'll post the pattern). I'm also wearing my gorgeous new cardigan and a favourite necklace today. So far, this year is grand!
I've been away for a few days, enjoying the country air and coastal waters... now I'm home and refreshed, it seems like a good time to share my new year's resolutions for 2009:
I've taken a few days off blogging, and may take a few more... I wish I could say I was spending time in the fresh country air, but unfortunately this photo was taken over a year ago. Alas, it's just the general feeling that I'm too busy with everything all at once and something had to give. Hopefully not for long!
I unexpectedly had a wisdom tooth out today (not the actual reason I went to the dentist), so I'm destined for soup and DVDs tonight. Might try to finish my mini crochet project too (So on my desk = on my couch... again).
It's been a while since I picked up my guitar. I often feel discouraged since so many people I know are far more advanced with their musical talent! The harmonica was harder than it looked, so I'm taking a step back to something I've actually done before. By summer I intend to be all of the following:
