I got this award from my fellow Swiss expat and bloggy friend Linda, and a while back from the lovely Erin– thank you ladies! The rules dictate that I:
AWARD RULES:
1. Link back to the person who gave you this award
2. Complete the form below
3. Award 5 other blogs and let them know in a comment or email
4. Share 7 random thoughts about yourself
So here we go….
1. NAME YOUR FAVORITE SONG: Eeek! Just one?? ok, ehm… lately I have been listening to Keane’s Under The Sea album, and have had A Bad Dream on repeat a few times. So let’s take that for today’s favorite, though I reserve the right to choose a new favorite in a few days! This is a really great song however, so if you want to check it out you can
2. NAME YOUR FAVORITE DESSERT: again, just one? I have a major sweet tooth, I could name a few… right now I’d have to say tiramisù. The proper one, with mascarpone and liquor and savoiardi biscuits, not pale imitations or worse, those pathetic “let’s play fusion” versions with mango or something.
Why mess with a good thing??
3. WHAT TICKS ME OFF: people who are full of themselves.
4. WHEN I’M UPSET I: crave chocolate cake, want to be alone, can use a nice walk in the countryside.
5. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PET: dogs. I am not a cat person.
6. BLACK OR WHITE: black.
7. BIGGEST FEAR: Losing my family. And snakes.
8. EVERYDAY ATTITUDE: Whatever the modern-gal spin on “The hills are alive with the sound of music” is
9. WHAT IS PERFECTION? Loving deeply and knowing you are loved in return.
10. GUILTY PLEASURE: watching shows like “The Secret Circle” and “Little Liars”.
SEVEN RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. I haven’t cut my hair really short since I was very young. The shortest I’ve had it since was an angled bob in 2009.
2. I don’t have TV connection at home, on purpose. It’s easier to keep our TV watching in check and to be more discerning (except for guilty pleasures, see above.) I watch some stuff online, buy our favorites on DVD and a lot of stuff… I simply don’t watch it.
3. Which I could live without TV, I coulnd’t live without books. I am an avid and voracious reader and I like a lot of different genres; I’ll be reading chick lit one day, then follow it with a classic, then follow that with a nutrition book or a travel book.
4. I hate the way I sound son the phone. My voice sounds like I’m about 12 years old.
5. I haven’t had chewing gum for nearly 8 years.
6. I hate going to the dentist. Like, really hate it.
7. As much as I miss New York and love the East Coast, California will always have a piece of my heart and I would really, really love to live in
San Francisco!
I GIVE THIS AWARD TO:
Now it’s your turn!!
