I love #48.
Perfect.
35 ditto!
Ah, the sparky flannel sheets... I used to have some of those (in Minnesota where it was also super dry in the winter), and then I got some lovely warm flannel pajamas. I was waxing lyrical to my roommate about how snuggly and cozy I was going to be in my new flannel PJs, and she said "P/H, you're going to roll over in the middle of the night and set yourself on fire!"
Loved 13 - my husband's odd nature is what drew me in.
30 Rock - laughed at that.
I wish I had Tiger Balm in my pocket right now. Wish I had pockets right now.
(You do realize that this will now most likely find itself on my blog sometime in the near future...)
If I ever had any doubt as to your eccentricity it is gone. How on earth did you integrate a belly dancer into your wedding? And may I please come to your funeral?
p/h Moira and I are having fire safety issues on our blogs this week, I guess. Have a glass of water nearby.
Mella, I shall not be surprized.
Anna, I should say reception, at a Lebanese restaurant. The ceremony was in D's parent's living room, only parents and brothers present. Our friends were so disappointed not to have been at the wedding, we promised a reception when we could afford one. Seven years later...
Oh, and you are all invited to my funeral. I'll let you know.
Another damn bunch of questions.
Surely it is your desire to answer them that makes them so damnable? ;-)
You and D have the best song.
I'm impressed, but not surprised that you can do push-ups. And I look forward to the day that I can afford good sheets :)
The belly dancer delighted me too, and I can REALLY hear L of S on the bagpipes and S the B on accordeon, they sound great. You'll have to have both.
Wow. These questions really get to the heart of the matter. Each answer could be a blog post in itself!
Patry,
Yeah, I've already got three brewing in my brain.
These were fun. I slept through the New Year, too, and most every other midnight lately. High-count flannel in deep cranberry. :-)
I'm looking forward to sleeping through the night on a more regular basis again. It's an underappreciated pleasure.
