I've been tagged by Cath....here is my answers to her questions:
1. What is your current obsession?
My new house. I am a very excited and proud first home owner. Everything in our lives seems to revolve around this purchase....sometimes not always in a good way, like I have been restraining my self from going shopping today, even though that is the ONE thing I would love to do more than anything right now :) I even resisted while in Melbourne last week! Now that is control my friends!!
2. What are you wearing today?
Lorna Jane pants and a single with my huggies.
3. Whats for dinner?
Good question! Chey is with Jamie for the night and so I struggle to cook when i am by myself....bad habbit but it just doesn't feel worth it for one person!
4. What would you eat for your last meal?
Another good question. I am a shocker with food. I love it, don't get me wrong, but trying to decide on what i want to eat at the best of times is a challenge. But if it was my last meal, i think i would want a massive spread so i could eat just a little bit of everything! And wash it down with a nice bottle of white.
5. What was the last thing you bought?
I did splurge just a little bit the other weekend, but it was totally justified, of course....I bought a cute skirt from Review (on sale!! and I needed one for work), a nice jacket (had to have one for my regular trips to Melbourne for work of course!) stockings....really loath buying stockings, i inevitably wear them once and put a hole in them! Which i did, for one pair i wore out that very night!
6. What are you listening to right now?
The next door neighbour washing his car....it is very quiet in my house right now (no one home but me) Although Jen will be here soon! Hoping to get a feel of this lively baby in her tummy she keeps talking about.
7. If you could go anywhere in the world in the next hour, where would you go?
Honestly, i think i would just go down the road to Aspley and pick my girl up from her daddy....haven't seen her much in the past 2 weeks so i am missing her. Then i would get on a plane to the next destination available OS. A surprise!
8. What do you love most about where you currently live?
If you are talking about country? I would have to say, climate, opportunities and it is home for me now...been here 16 years and have no desire to live anywhere else.
If you are talking about suburb, Carina, i love living here because it is central to majority of my friends. I am sad to be moving away.... but excited about being closer to some people I haven't had a lot to do with for a while. Hopefully my friends will come visit.....:)
9. What is your favorite color?
I am with you Cath....I have never really had a fav color. I do love pink, but i also love green. However....I wear alot of black!
10. What is your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
Again, with you Catch -nothing beats a good pair of jeans!
11. What were you doing 10 years ago?
Man...that is a long time ago! In 1999 I was....still thinking....Ummm....living at home with my parents, about to move to Sydney where i stayed for 3 months before coming home early 2000 pregnant with Chey. I must have been working as a nanny to Oska, Alexander and Oliver.
12. If you had $300 right now, what would you spend it on?
Hmmmm, so many options. I would probably buy some new boots - I love shoes!! But i would also probably buy something for Jen and Tony's baby as well....I can't wait to meet this bubba!!
13. What are you going to do after this?
Jen is on her way over for a catch up and then i may get some movies and watch them with a nice glass of wine.
14. What inspires you?
People who love people and life. Like you Catch, i am inspired by people who are selfless and put others first.
15. What are you favorite films?
Pretty much any of the children's movies, I think it is really clever when they add a bit of adult content to keep us just as amused as the children.
16. Who's work/designes are you inspired by?
That is a hard question. I am not much of an art goer - I have some very talented friends who have done some beautiful paintings which i love and have asked to do something for me for our new home.
17. Your favorite book?
I LOVE reading! I don't have a single favorite book (i sound very cultured don't i? No favorite books, no favorite art work etc). I will read almost anything....I love nothing more than settling down to a good book on a cold night. Wonder if this is why i am still single....maybe i need to get out more :)
18. Do you collect anything?
No...unless you can count shoes?
19. What makes you follow a blog?
I enjoy reading about my friends and catching up on what is happening in their lives. I love seeing photos - life is so busy, sometimes it is hard to keep up with everyone and so i find this a really nice way of keeping in touch. Specially with family who are overseas.
20. What was the most enjoyable thing you did today?
Lay on my bed with my best friend and feel her baby kick my hand, while eating home made short bread and discussing what movie the lucky boy Tony is going to take his girls to see tonight.
21. Whats one thing you dream of doing?
Opening my own beauty store. I will be starting up my salon from home in our new house and I am very excited about this.
