For everyone else, its time for a wee bit of wednesday!





{one} do you collect anything? if so, what and how long have you been collecting?

not really. I love anything bunny or cute bird or peacock... but I don't really collect them myself.
I would like to have the money to further add to my collection of vintage beautiful books with multiple copies of Pride and Prejudice.

{two} what is one cleaning tip that you swear by?

Put a scented dryer sheet at the bottom of your trash can. Use baking soda on carpets to help with pet smells before vaccuming. Use white vinegar to clean many things. Use aluminum foil and suddsy water to help make polishing silver a little easier. Play music - it will make it less chore-like and possibly even enjoyable. Pick up a little each day. And always rinse off the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. When folding linens, place sets into one pillow cover to make the linen cabinet look neat and organized. Again more than one, is it obvious I try to be a Martha?


{three} who would you call for bail money?

I'm pretty lucky in that I have a lot of good friends and family members I think I could rely on.



{four} what is one thing you miss about being a kid?

Having more money than I needed, getting to spend that money on fun stuff, not paying bills, having someone else pay for and make the meals, getting to eat icecream often, having my birthday be a big deal. That is more than one thing.



{five} name a few of your guilty pleasures.

Rereading parts of Pride and Prejudice, or watching the movie or mini-series often. Chocolate. Lattes. Hot toddies. sleeping in. TV shows and movies. Bubble baths. Champagne. Massages.


{six} how early do you start your holiday shopping?

Right now there is really no such thing in our household. But usually, I just pick things up that I see throughout the year and all my shopping is done in advance with gifts I know the person will really enjoy.



{seven} what is a family tradition that you would like to pass on to your significant other/children?

My maternal side of the family does a waffle breakfast (made from a family recipe) with icecream and strawberries for all birthdays and big holidays. My husband is already in love with the tradition. I think we might plan on having tons of kids just so we can count on having more birthdays to eat waffle breakfast for!



{eight} what do you consider your greatest achievement?

I'd say my greatest achievements are made up of many little achievements throughout each day.



{nine} what do you do to pamper yourself?

If I had money I'd spend it at a spa or a ski resort or both.



{ten} if you were to start your own restaurant, what would it be called?

I'm not terribly clever with naming things. Maybe just an ingredient or something... Fennel. Cardamom.

Now its YOUR turn! What are your answers to some or all of these?
