Meme Time

I've been Meme tagged by Cat and I'm going to try to get this one done real quick, so I don't feel that I forget to do it.  I'm usually notoriously bad at getting back to these.


The 11 questions I want answered:

  1. Name the one product in your kitchen you can not function without.  Olive oil if we are talking food product.  My Kitchen Aid mixer if we are talking about a prep product.
  2. If you can change your career decision, what would you like to be (disregard training, money etc-  this is a dream job).  This is easy, but I pick two. A high-school math teacher and a yoga teacher.
  3. What is your favorite toy (as in gadget, craft item, etc).  My daugher's iPad.  It's even better than my iPhone.
  4. What is your favorite book of all times? (or just choose one for now)  Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
  5.  If you could give your 16 year old self one bit of advice only, what would it be?  - It will all be OK.
  6. Chocolate or vanilla cake? And specifically what type.  Chocolate, although my real favorite is carrot cake with real cream cheese icing.
  7. Meat, fish or chicken?  Fish! Especially salmon or tuna
  8. On what would you spend R300 or 40US$ or the equivalent thereof as a spoil for yourself? A massage.
  9. Which building in the whole wide world do you think is beautiful or have captured your attention? My favorite building is the Fine Arts Library on the University of Pennsylvania's campus.  It's by Frank Furness who I think was a fabulous architect.  This building was shown as a   law library in the movie Philadelphia.  This building is beautiful inside as well as outside.

  1. If you could go on a dream holiday right now, no costs spared, to which one destination will you go and who will you take along? (no world tours allowed - one destination).  Rome, Italy
  2. If you were a flower, which one will you be. And why?  A Chrysanthemum.  They are by far my favorite flower. 
Well, my putting in the picture messed up the numbers, but you get the idea.  I'm going to get a pass on tagging for the next round, as I have to go bug my husband to stop working so we can leave for the wake of my grandfather.

Enjoy!!!

How fun!
I went to college "next door" to Penn. :)
Does a cruise count as a one destination vacation? I would choose an Alaskan cruise, or Hawaii. I would take my family and a good friend who just lost her job.
I would be a tulip, because they are my favorite pretty flower, or a daisy, because I think they make people happy. :)
I usually prefer white cake over chocolate if it is nice and moist. I had a white chocolate raspberry cake recently that was amazing!
That was fun!

Your boys are getting so big! Where did the time go?

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
