More About the Chick

June 28th, 2008

Anna at Cookie Madness tagged me!

1.) LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATER
You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. J. is a huge Adam Sandler fan. I usually find him funny enough, but thought this was one of his worst movies. I laughed anyway!

2.) WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING?
I’m between books, but I’m either going to restart Nicole Krauss’ The History of Love, or begin Heat by Bill Buford next.

3.) FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Trivial Pursuit

4.) FAVORITE MAGAZINE?
Real Simple, though I find the articles and suggestions less and less real or simple as the years go on.

5.) FAVORITE SMELLS?
Sunscreen that doesn’t wash out of the boys’ clothes. My mom’s holiday cooking. The cologne J. wore in high school. Milky baby’s breath.

6.) FAVORITE SOUNDS?
J.’s key in the lock. The boys’ giggles. Hard rain on the roof.

7.) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD?
Regret.

8.) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU WAKE?
Please, let it be at least 6 AM!

9.) FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE?
Any will do in a pinch.

10.) FUTURE CHILD’S NAME?
None! I just want to be an aunt to a few more babies.

11.) FINISH THIS STATEMENT - IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D…
Take our extended families on vacation.

12.) DO YOU DRIVE FAST?
Usually 5-10 miles over the speed limit on a highway. Not on local roads.

13.) DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL?
Nope.

14.) STORMS – COOL OR SCARY?
Very cool.

15.) WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
An Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.

16.) FAVORITE DRINK?
Strong coffee.

17.) FINISH THIS STATEMENT - IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD…
Go back to school.

18.) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI?
I did last night.

19.) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOUR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE?
I’d try blonde highlights again, but I wouldn’t dye it.

20.) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS U HAVE LIVED IN?
Rockland County, NY; Ithaca, NY; London, England; NY, NY; Washington, DC; Milford, CT; Oxford, England; Stamford, CT; and now in Westchester County, NY.

21.) FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
I’ll watch anything in person if I’m with friends, but nothing on TV.

22.) ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?
Anna has incredible self-restraint, because she bakes nearly every day and only takes a taste.

23.) WHAT’S UNDER YOUR BED?
An acid-free box holding some of the boys’ special baby outfits and sweaters.

24.) WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN?
Sure.

25.) MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL?
I like staying up late and getting lots done before bed. But then G. tends to wake us up around 5. Not a good combination.

26.) OVER EASY OR SUNNY SIDE UP?
Over, cooked until the yolks gel.

27.) FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX?
In a spa, any spa.

29.) FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

30.) OF ALL THE PEOPLE U HAVE TAGGED, WHO IS THE MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND FIRST?
They’re all very busy, so I’ll be surprised along with you.

    Oh good! You got the tag. I meant to email my tags and never got around to it yesterday.

    I checked Heat out at the library but never got around to reading it and had to take it back. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it.

    Thanks for complimenting me on my restraint ;). It’s not as good as you might think. LOL.

    I am in the final pages of Eat Pray Love and am just about to start - Dear John the new Nicholas Sparks book.

    Cheers

About

DaraI'm Dara, the chick in the kitchen. Living in the suburbs of Manhattan with my two boys, ages 2 and 4, and husband. Trying to feed my family something more diverse than a different shape of pasta each night. Reach me at .

Want to Try

Mini Caramel Apples: J. makes "apple grapes" for A. by using a melon baller on a Red Delicious. This idea goes one caramel-dunked step further -- perfect as an autumn snack activity.

Cook to This

"Rocketship Run" by Laurie Berkner. From her new album. We've only listening to it a couple of times, but this track keeps popping back into my head. (And sometimes I forget to turn it off when the kids aren't even in the car.)
