So, the awesome Pandora has tagged me in the (joyful - because I love doing these things!) task of answering the following questions:
Ready? OK.
[I'm resisting the urge to break out into a Bring It On routine when I say that]
1. What is your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?
I can't answer this with just ONE... I love Christmas movies! Die Hard totally tops the list (like Pandora, Alan Rickman is the key here), but Love Actually (again with the Rickman) and The Family Stone come a close second and third. Oh and Scrooged. Bill Murray is awesome. And I always watch Meet Me In St Louis around Christmas time. And Bridget Jones's Diary. Oh and Better Off Dead counts as a Christmas-y movie, right?
2. What is your favorite flower?
Hmmmm... I would have to say hydrangeas. Blue ones and pink ones. But I love ALL flowers really (potential suitors, take note). Gardenias are another fave.
3. What is your favorite (non-alcoholic) beverage?
Well, coffee of course. Can't live without coffee. But I'm also a sucker for a bit of ginger beer. Or sparkling pink grapefruit juice.
4. What is your passion?
Just one? Come on... I have many! Travelling and writing would have to top the list. Movies and theatre would follow closely behind.
5. What is your favorite time of year?
Early spring when all the jasmine on my balcony is blooming.
6. What is your favorite time of the day?
Sunrise. Not that I see it that often... probably why I love it on the rare occasions that I do.
7. What is your favorite physical activity?
Dancing. I love to dance. And yes, I am channelling SJP in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun when I say that.
8. What is your favorite vacation?
That I've taken or that I want to take? Because there are so many places in the world I've still to visit that I'm worried I may not fit them all in... top of that list is walking El Camino de Santiago. THAT I must do in the next few years. In terms of my favourite vacation so far, that would be my trip to NYC last year for my 40th birthday. The combination of being in one of my favourite cities in the world and being with five of my best friends, made that vacation one of the best I've ever had.
OK. Do I need to tag? I probably should. Hmmm, let's see...

*waves*
Hi. Sorry. Been a bit frantic. Took on some extra work which I thought would be a doddle and it's turned out to be a time-sucking leech. My house is a tip, I have to fly to NZ on Saturday morning (for a day of work - ugh) and the following weekend I have to spend the whole of it at some horse show. Where I'm going to find the time to do the little things (like dishes, reading my books which are due back at the library, wax my legs and so on) is beyond me.
I know. Whinge, whinge, whinge. Suck it up sister, you're earning extra money. This is a good thing.
One thing I'm NOT going to whinge about (in fact it's what's kept me going the last 24 hours) is this:
So. Bloody. Happy.
I am a close follower of the US Elections - have been for years. Those of you who are my facebook friends will know this from bitter experience... and I do apologise for clogging your newsfeed with my running commentary over the last few days/weeks.
I'm just a little bit pleased that Obamarama and my man Joe get to spend another four years in DC.
I'm also just a little bit pleased* that my favourite VP will be making a guest appearance on one of my favourite shows next week.
In the meantime, I'm off to bed. More than four hours sleep would be nice, but I'll take whatever I can get at present.
Did I mention 28 Black is my new drink of choice? I couldn't have survived the last two weeks without it.
As you were.

* When I say "little bit pleased", I mean I actually squealed in excitement when I saw the article. Yes, SQUEALED. Like a kid at Christmas when they get a bike, a puppy AND a drum kit.
