5. Other than the main colors in your home now, what colors would you like to change to? I'd love to have the nerve to do something like a navy blue in the south-facing living room, but I just don't.

Wasn't thinking ahead for lunch today so I grabbed the results of grocery shopping while you're hungry. :) I don't know what's for dinner tonight. I'm not really a fan of cooking. I don't think it's really the cooking as the TIME it takes and CLEAN UP involved. DH takes his turns.

I don't know what I want next. I do a ton of driving so it has to get good gas mileage and I'd rather have a car. Ask me again once we have kids. I'll admit vehicles are the one thing I could care less about.

1. What are you wearing right now?
Purple knit short-sleeved top, black slacks, fuschia socks, black flats (I'm at work -- shh! don't tell anyone!).

The last rehearsal of the season for an orchestra I'm in -- concert this weekend.

10. What type of car do you drive and the color?
    1995 Ford Escort, Barney purple (Ford calls it "Deep Iris"). I rarely drive more than 20 miles per week, so it has very low mileage, and it has been reliable, though unfortunately is looking a little sad (paint faded, rusting around the edges, an obscene word scratched on the side by an unknown perp). Keeps it from getting stolen, though!

1. What are you wearing right now?

An aquamarine linen blouse and a blue/aquamarine plaid skirt with strappy leather sandals-when I get home from work it's going to be a pair of cotton shorts and polo shirt and flip flops :).

2. What have you eaten today, if it's morning when you read this, what do you plan to eat for dinner?

Let's see, breakfast this morning (and every morning) was OJ, coffee and oatmeal. One more cuppa joe and a lowfat yogurt as morning snack, then a Healthy Choice turkey meal and water for lunch. Dinner-not sure, had planned to go to the grocery store before dinner but losing steam. Maybe a salad and homemade cheese/olive pizza with a glass of ice water.

3. What did you have for dinner last night?

Leftover shrimp scampi over rice pilaf and green beans with toasted almonds. And a glass of ice water.

4. What is your favorite flower in your flower garden?

Flower garden?

5. Other than the main colors in your home now, what colors would you like to change to?

Some really nice soothing whites or off whites. Unfortunately I am bored with white and off white always looks like dirty beige to me.

6. Are you an online shopper or do you prefer to go to a store in person?

Online mostly, who has time or inclination to fight the crowds and aggravation at the mall? Don't like to buy clothes or underwear online though so have to make a couple of power shopping trips annually for those. Otherwise I stay out of stores as much as possible.

7. If you do shop online, what is your favorite website, other than Amazon? :)

Landsend-my one exception to no online clothes shopping.

8. Do you paint your nails?

No, buff them once in awhile but no paint. Did for years but it is a time drain and eventually your nails look nasty from all the chemicals.

9. What one thing this week are you looking forward to doing?

Picking up a batch of books being held at the library tonight. Then figuring which one I want to dive into first.

6. Are you an online shopper or do you prefer to go to a store in person?
I like trying on things, so for clothes it's mostly in store unless I've bought enough to know the exact fit. I do love a bargain though, so I bought a ton of the stuff for my kitchen remodel online. And I love sniping things off ebay. $11 lax gloves. woohoo!
7. If you do shop online, what is your favorite website, other than Amazon? :)
Victoria's Secret, darn them for sending so many coupons!
8. Do you paint your nails?
Who has time?

Nothing! A blissful nothing! Spring season is ending this week and Summer won't start for a couple of weeks, so the mommy taxi can take a break

10. What type of car do you drive and the color?
    Just bought a black Chrysler Town & Country minivan with the touring package to replace my blue Dodge Caravan that had an unfortunate encounter with a deer. Teenaged boys w/ lax bags(think hockey bag, or body bag) take up a whole lot of room. No fun sleek cars for this mom.

Just realized I said "1/2 chocolate cake." Well no, 1/2 of a slice of chocolate cake. It was so good I wish I could've scarfed the whole thing (not a whole slice but the whole cake!)

kelly: I was thinking, "man that girl can eat -- must be nice to have that kind of metabolism" LOL ....

"Just realized I said "1/2 chocolate cake." Well no, 1/2 of a slice of chocolate cake. It was so good I wish I could've scarfed the whole thing (not a whole slice but the whole cake!)"

Darn, I was thinking of posting that you were a girl after my own heart.

With DH out of town, my typical diet is always fruit in the day, a slimming protien at night...followed by half a chocolate cake.

Try it, you'll like it. :)

Blue jeans and teal shirt

2. What have I eaten today? Oh gee... For breakfast I had a smoked salmon salad, snack: watermellon and almonds lunch: orange and 80 calories worth of ice cream, snack: more watermellon and almonds.

watermellon and almonds

a 14 foot high jasmine

5. Other than the main colors in your home now, what colors would you like to change to?
I would really like to someday own a gray Neoclassical with a slick black front door. Maybe that is just a reflex because it is the complete opposite of the yellow country Victorian we are finishing building now.

6. Are you an online shopper or do you prefer to go to a store in person?
Either. I *love* to shop, but I never buy much. Getting out and visiting shops is thrilling enough for me that I don't feel like I need to buy the proverbial t-shirt.

7. If you do shop online, what is your favorite website, other than Amazon?
Is Craigslist shopping?? I have been looking out for several things and prefer to buy vintage or antiques. Antique stores (in real life) just thrill me to no end.

I break my nails on the darn piano and I only paint my nails when they are long... so not very often.

9. What one thing this week are you looking forward to doing?
It is a weird week here, so I am just hoping that everything runs smoothly. A win would be no more poisonous snakes this week.

10. What type of car do you drive and the color?
    We just bought a new vehicle wild color. All our vehicles end up some crazy color. They can't make a color that is too wild for us! :O)

(Once I made a chocolate cake for DH's B-Day and I ate the entire thing in two days. He likes cheesecake. DD just busted me and said I have done that to her too. She likes pie.)

DH and DD aren't even cake people. I am! (Just chocolate.) Who puts candles in cheesecakes and pies, anyway? Anyone else think a container of Ben and Jerry's is a single serving?

I do not have a weight problem, six times on the chalk board.
