1. Ever had any run ins with the Library police?

Only if you count having to pay huge library fines, the worse was the $92 fine I had to pay while at Uni!!!

2. Do you have special organizational plans and a place for wrapping paper, gift bags etc, or do you just purchase whenever you need as you give gifts?

Nope I have a stash of wrapping paper and bags always on the ready, mainly because I usually forget about the wrapping and it usually ends up a last minute thing.

#3 Have you ever been in (first -hand witness to) a natural disaster?

I did witness the Canberra Bushfires, it was scary, could actually see on of the fires from our bed room window.

#4 What’s your favourite Barry Manilow song?

Can’t say I have one.

#5 What’s the best costume you’ve ever worn?

The only one that I can remember is when I went to a friends party dressed as a Hippy in one of my Mum’s old orange and brown afgans from the 70’s.
#6 What’s your favourite breakfast food?

Croissants with Jam or failing that toast made with Bakers Delight White Loaf with sesame seeds, YUM!!
#7 Which do you use more a dictionary or a thesaurus?

The dictionary, I am a terrible speller.
#8 Have you ever purchased anything from an infomercial?

Yes, we bought some knifes from Danoz Direct ages ago. Daniel would love the Magic Bullet and I would love the Sham-Wow!!

#9 Have you ever crawled through a window?

Yep, but its not that exciting it was just through Mum and Dad’s kitchen window whenever I locked myself out of the house.

#10 Do you believe in love at first sight?

Yes.

#11 How many pairs of jeans do you own?

A couple and none of them fit!!

#12 If someone were going to bake a cake to honor/represent you, what would it be?

Death by chocolate mud cake!!!

Random Dozen – 2nd Cup of Coffee

1. How do you feel about “Gladiator” sandals also called “Roman” or “Jesus” sandals? A fashion yea or nay?

That would be a definite NAY from me.

2. What is your favourite pizza?

BBQ Chicken on thin and crispy base.

3. There are plans to sell roughly 1,000 items from Star Trek:The Experience in Las Vegas. This means that you could buy Picard’s chair for your family room. If not a Star Trek, what prop, background, set from what movie would you buy if you could?

Hhmmm good question, I’d take Edward Cullen’s Aston Martin Vanquish. Not that you get to see it in the movie but it should be in the movie!!

4. Name a local food or restaurant that your area is famous for.

Central Cafe on the main street is famous for its King Size meals, they really are HUGE!!! But the Rendezvous, also on the main street, does King Size meals as well and is much better then Central Cafe. Rendezvous also provides free garlic bread and after dinner mints!!

5. What is your current favourite snack?

I’ve just discovered Weight Watchers Cookie Crunch Ice Cream Bars, YUM!!

6. Hypothetical: You are required to be a reality show contestant. Which show would you choose based on your probability of success? (You cannot choose ‘none’)

A. Dancing With The Stars

B. Biggest Loser

C. Survivor

I’d have to choose Biggest Loser, cause I couldn’t dance to save myself and I refuse to go anywhere where I can’t plug my hairdryer in )

7. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being uninhabitable and 10 being cleanliness that meets the standards of OCD, how clean is your vehicles interior?

At the moment I’d given my car a 6, it needs to be vaccumed.

8. It doesn’t feel like Spring until ……..

I see blossoms on trees or like Kirsty I’ve popped a few Claryntine )

9. Something that made you laugh really hard recently is….

Can’t remember but it was probably something that Daniel did, he cracks me up )

10. Tell me about a goal you’re working toward.

Its all about weight loss, I’ve lost 14kg so far, 6kg to go to reach my next goal (I’m working in 10kg increments).

11. Share a thought provoking or inspiring quote this week

When I read this one my favourite little saying immediately popped into my head its not really inspirational but it always makes me smile:

“I’d like to be a glow worm cause a glow worms never glum, cause how can you be grumpy when the sun shines out your bum”

12. Name one thing you do as a parent that you absolutely know will make your kids happy. If you’re not a parent, feel free to substitute ‘friend’ or nomenclature that works for you.

I’m at a loss on this one, I’m not a parent and I can’t think of anything else, sorry!!

I am constantly amazed that I am apart of something that is so wonderful, Daniel is so patient, tolerant, understanding and patient with me even when I really don’t deserve it.
