Q & A

How fun! I've just been emailed an 'interview' by a fellow blogger -Sizzle, from Sizzle Says. Sizz, I've read your entire blog; you've brought me to tears, you've had me laughing out loud, and you've had me getting in touch with my own deeper self after having read some of your posts. I interweb love you to bits!! Sizzle's original post can be seen here:

Without further ado ~

Questions:

1) Do you have a "happy place" and can you describe it for us? I'm a self-confessed 'home body', so I would dare say my "happy place" is my comfy couch, with a cozy blanket and my two kitties nestled in with me. I have either my laptop or a good book in my hands, and a steaming cup of coffee or tea by my side.

2) What's one food you simply cannot resist? Gosh so many...I recently started a New Years "goal" to try to eat healthier, and it's such a struggle! I'm a sucker for a lot of things, so I can't possibly narrow it down to just one food, so I will list a few of my all-time favourites: my Mom's homemade spaghetti; shrimp/feta/penne from Boston Pizza; chicken shawarma & Lebanese rice from Cedars (and only there, because anywhere else I've tried it cannot possibly compare); I looooooooooooorvvvve me some cheese - all kinds really, but have a true love relationship with havarti and those little mini Babybel things; and, no list is ever complete without chocolate, with Lindor truffles by Lindt being le creme de la creme for me :).

3) If you had to choose between these three options, which would you pick and why?

A) A weekend alone in a cabin with a roaring fire, a stack of books and your thoughts.

B) A weekend in Las Vegas full of debauchery and gambling with a friend.

C) A weekend at home with friends visiting.

Mmmm, option A without a doubt. It sounds fantastic, especially this time of year, after the busy-ness of the holiday is over and the economic strain that is Christmas --not to mention the economic state that everyone is facing....It's a scary world out there. I saw Suze Orman on Oprah the other day and she was advising everyone that they should have 8 months of savings soiled away for an emergency (ie, job loss situation). 8 months; as a girl living cheque by cheque and depending on overdraft before each cheque comes in, that terrifies the bejebus out of me.

4) What band/musician are you currently digging on the most? I'm a huge fan of Matt Andersen; he's a local artist from the Maritimes. Hailing from New Brunswick, he has a jazzy, bluesy, folksy flair that is unmatched by anyone. His guitar skills are amazing...

5) As a child, what was your favorite toy? Without a doubt, Ms. Barbie. I collected the latest Barbie every year, but I also collected furniture for Barbie. I had a whole house of furniture that I would set up in my bedroom and my friend Melissa and I would play for hours and act out soap opera-style drama amongst our dolls.
