Tagged

I was tagged by janine de waal a few weeks back and now I can't find the rules, etc. But I'm sure I had to share 7 things.
  1. I love wearing red, but don't want to be tagged 'that girl always in red'. So I force myself to buy other colours and am slowly weaning myself off it.
  2. When I was 16 I only wore black. That lasted for a few years. I'm thinking of doing it again, will make mornings easier.
  3. I like reality TV shows... cringe-worthy admission.
  4. My youngest son starts school tomorrow and he's been assuring me I won't cry. I will, all day.
  5. If I play basketball I think it gives me the right to eat ice-cream every night of the week. So I try not to buy ice-cream too often.
  6. I bought my very first tub ever of neopolitan ice-cream this week. The chocolate is already gone. Jack (youngest son who is a chocoholic) is going to be MAD when he finds out.
  7. I read to go to sleep at night. A few pages and I'm gone. So it takes me weeks (sometimes months) to finish a book.

Also Didine gave me this wonderful Award. Thank you! Here is the description that goes along with this award:
Give the award to up to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel so happy about blogland ! Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so that they can pass it on. Beware! You may get the award several times!

It's not fair just picking 10. I'm sure I could list 100. Here are some bloggers (other than sweet Didine and stack of blogs I read) that bring happiness and inspiration to me:

I'm with you on the reality tv. I'll be tuning in to another episode of Project Runway tonight before bedtime.

I can relate to the ice cream and the book reading right before bed. My boyfriend gets mad when I eat all the ice cream. I can't help it, it's my weak spot.

Love your seven things about you.
I can't believe you just bought neopolitan, my Mum had a rule that you HAD to scoop across the three colours or not at all. She like the icecream to be gone at one level.
Hope school goes well for you little one.
My youngest goes into Year 8 High school today, I WON'T be crying, I WILL be cheering.

hi kristen,

lovely bag as always.

reality tv... i dont care for most of them because it's too outrageous. but i do like seeing people make a fool of themselves and then remind myself how normal i really am (compared to tv ppl). :)

check out my blog if you haven't already to see pix of the things i made with your mollybird fabric.

also, mind telling me when you shipped my second order? i'm very impatient when i'm expecting packages and generally my australian orders have arrived fairly quickly.

thanks,
shirley

#7 it can take me a year to read a book. sad but true.

You certainly deserve the award, well done. I have a staple wardrobe of jeans with shirt and ballet flats. That way I can vary the shoes slightly, and the shirts! makes me feel like I actually have a wardrobe when in fact it is just shirts! My parent use to always by the neopolitan icecream tubs and I could never figure out why because none of us liked the strawberry!
