As a welcome to the many new readers over the weekend I thought I would do something a bit different and fun. Think of it as similar to the “speed dating” concept of getting to know someone but instead it’s just you and me. A bit of old school blogging. Hope you enjoy.
5 Things I have a passion for:
1. all things stationery 2. eating and being fit, and yes, they can go side by side 3. my God 4. letter writing 5. my family
5 items on my ‘bucket list’:
1. write a book 2. run a marathon 3. own a book store/purveyor of eclectic stationery 4. go to Italy 5. cook without recipe books
I say these 5 things a lot:
1. Get outta here! (as in shock or amazement) 2. Seriously! 3. Piece of work. 4. What do you say for supper? (looking for the polite ‘Thank-you’ ) 5. Guess what? followed by I love you (this makes my kids roll their eyes).
5 Books on my reading table right now:
Five movies that I have watched more than once:
1. Shaw Shank Redemption 2. The Red Violin 3. Away from Her 4. What’s eating Gilbert Grape 5. not a movie, but I was a complete fan of the TV series “House.”
Places that I want to travel – top 5:
1. Australia 2. Southern France (didn’t make it there on my last visit) 3. Kenya 4. The three territories in Canada – Nunavut, Yukon, North West Territories—so I can say I have visited every province and territory! 5. Hawaii
So, have we read any of the same books? Watched any of the same movies?
It is YOUR TURN now to SHARE 5 CRAZY things about you to help me get to know you. Any random 5 things will do. Ready, set, go….
1:Coffee and Chocolate
2:Music – all kinds streaming all day
3:All things Dachshund – cant get enough of them and love my two like babies!
4:Paper, Pens and everything in between. Finding my passion in paper crafts is a priority now!
5:Reading,surfing the Internet and all using techno gadgets
Absolutely loved House…get hooked on TV mysteries and medical shows. Love weekends to enjoy movie nights with my boys and hubby…hard to pick a favorite. Blind Side feel good movies are top and we look for funny ones to laugh together!
Annette, I love your list! I am right there with you on the chocolate although I am a bit of a tea gal myself. Perhaps you will be enjoying one of those funny ‘laugh out loud’ movies tonight with your lovelies. Thanks for stopping in for a visit, enjoyed your comments.
I love stationary too. And pens. Pretty much all office supplies make my love list.
House was a great show. I miss it.
Hi Tracie, ahh, a fellow ‘House’ fan! I did manage to scoop up some DVD’s of the series when a video store was closing but I missed so many. Still on the hunt. Glad you too enjoy all things paper! How can we not, such beautiful stuff out there. Thanks for your visit. Hope to see you again soon.
I am a big fan of stationery too!
Thanks for stopping by Alison. I can accurately say I have a bit of an addictive pull towards all things stationery. Some times hard to manage! 🙂
I just want to go to France, period (well, mostly Paris). And I just came back from western Canada, so beautiful!
I like your 5th, thing to do before you die… me too. 🙂
Hello Elaine, France is indeed lovely. I did see a lot of it, including Paris, about 15 yrs ago but ran out of time/money to go to the southern part. Where in Western Canada did you visit? It sure isn’t hard on the eyes on here, that is for sure. Thanks for stopping by to ritewhileucan. Hope you will visit again some time.
I use to fantasize about owning a very cool children’s bookstore. I tried to read Room last year but just couldn’t get into it.
Hey there Robbie! When I was in university I worked at a privately owned bookshop and started collecting children’s books. Since then it has been an addiction! I love the illustrations. As for the “Room” I have yet to crack it, but it sits waiting for me. Will let you know. Thanks for stopping by.
