I Would Like This in a King Please

I am going to have to buy this beauty for my bed...actually it needs to be custom made from neutral shades of vintage chenille, quilted with 'Warm & Natural' and backed with something sumptuous - flannel or muslin. I think it's so lovely.

100 Things to Know About Me.

1. I can't think of 100 things!

2. I have grandchildren and that is my favorite role other than my main roles (of wife & mom which is cool but a lot harder!) -I love every second of it!

3. Related to 2. Each of my 4 children has a child quota to fill, of 4 each which will net me 16 grandchildren:-) minimum. Thanks to Sarra, we are well on our way.

4. I love to watch cooking shows...curiously I don't love to cook, but if you don't like my cooking, I'll cry. It's a twisted emotional place for me.

5. I miss my dog Poppy, she left a hole in my heart.

6. I love Persian food, and a particular Persian who is a good cook, and is the cause of my low self esteem in this area.

7. I love poppies, for obvious reasons.

8. I love pansies, because my great-grandmother loved them, my grandmother and my mother, so I plant a bed of them every Spring.

9. I don't wear shoes unless it's -10 or more outside. The first hint of Spring and I am sockless and shoeless.

10. I have WONDERFUL kids that are thoughtful, loving, strong, intelligent, productive, and headed in the right direction - They are a source of pure joy.

11. I love to call it quits for the day and get all 'snuggldey buggledy' (as Jane and I say) to catch my DVR'd shows...Bill O'Reilly, ...or read.

12. I love to read. I flit about though...too many books on the go at once.

13. I love photos, scrapbooks, blogs, biographies...

14. My favorite color is yellow.

15. I haven't seen my true hair color since about 1987 or so...

16. I love Farmers Markets.

17. I love Opera

18. I love to sing in the car...but not opera.

19. I am a little bit flakey...I have improved with time.

20. I am an ace shopper. I mean the best.

21. I am a loving person.

22. I like pretty things, and will get rid of a perfectly functional thing just to put in it's place a prettier version.

23. I like to sew, quilt, draw, garden, and paint, but I go in phases and never do them all in the same phase.

24. I love yoga, it makes me feel so good.

25. I wish I had the discipline to work out every day.

26. I love the ocean, and can outlast any of my children in the water, even my surfers. We're talking hours.

27. I love to travel, and have to find a happy medium with my home loving husband.

28. The husband is my best friend. He really looks out for me on every level. I am safe and loved because of him.

29. My daughter is my other best friend...I can say that now b/c she is all grown up. There is no one that I would rather be with than my husband, or any one of my children (including in-law children!).

31. I like to research everything...this is no joke. I will find the best, most reviewed, top of the line...whatever, b/c I will spend inordinate amounts of time researching. I should be a Harvard scholar by now, however I've been researching pots and pans and supportive and cute shoes rather than the cure for cancer. Sigh.

32. I love to be a home based mom and wife. It's fun...I rule my world and it's such a privilege and a blessing - another reason to love my husband.

33. I used to consider myself a good speller, but with spell check going off every minute I am having doubts. Maybe it's just my horrendous typing.

34. I like to sleep, but it seems like such a waste of time...

35. I like to eat a bowl of thawed frozen blueberries with Greek yoghurt on them at night (with a few chocolate chips).

36. I never get up to eat in the night, unlike some others I could mention.

37. I like herbal tea.

38. There are a lot of things I wanted to do that it seems I may not get to...mostly due to my own limitations...like play the guitar, at least a little.

39. I don't really like ice cream any more...that is practically family heresy.

40. I am conservative...and therefore a Republican...even though it's grossly uncool.

41. I love handmade!

42. I am wicked good at driving in reverse, and parallel parking.

43. I like to do puzzles, including Sudoku, crossward, and traditional puzzles.

44. I really enjoy the afternoon light on the north side of my home. It's beautiful, every single day.

45. I am a night person.

46. I love color, so every single room in my house is a different color.

47. I have in inordinate amount of make up - again, it's about all the pretty colors!

48. I used to be able to long distance run.

49. I am very organized...materially, but not so much time time wise. Remember I said I was a little bit flakey?

50. My favorite film ever is Pride & Prejudice, the BBC version, though I enjoy them all.

51. I like to make jewelry, and will often take off the cheap ear ring wire and replace it with a silver wire at home.

52. I sew.

53. I am a bit of a germ freak, and have a dangly hand sanitizer hanging from my purse.

55. Favorite shopping...the book store.

56. Someone once said that if you are not thin, then at least be soft. So I am soft.

57. I love my pugs.

58. I train my pugs.

59. I eat low carb.

60. I am interested in everything.
