Me me me me meeeeeeeeeme….

I saw this meme on Jenty’s blog and then on Alida’s, Laura-Kim’s and Angel’s…

My turn!

  • Right now, I am lying on my bed, trying to get warm.
  • I’m currently obsessed with the Merry Gentry novels by Laurell K. Hamilton.
  • Cannot live without hugs.
  • I’m reading Seduced by Midnight – Book 3 of the Merry Gentry series.
  • I’m listening to my dogs eating what was their breakfast.
  • Favourite place in Joburg dont really have one exactly. I love discovering new places though.
  • Favourite place in SA is Jozi.  I love everything about my city.
  • Favourite place in the world the Kotel in Jerusalem.
  • I’ve lived in Jozi and Israel.
  • Next up on my bucket list perhaps I should actually make a bucket list…
  • The last thing I crossed of my bucket list see above
  • I realized I was an adult when I looked into Aaron’s eyes for the very first time.
  • I realized I’d never be an adult when I accepted that I love animated films!
  • In the movie of my life, I want to be played by Julianne Moore.
  • Best invention since the wheel: PVR.
  • A house is not a home without dogs.
  • This week I’m crushing on my very warm feather duvet!
  • I’m currently working on not much.
  • I’m really proud of Aaron, for being the politest little boy I know!
  • You’d be amazed if I showed you my teeth before I had braces.  The stuff of nightmares.  No really!
  • I cannot survive winter without hot chocolate.
  • Signature dish Sjoe… No idea.  I love testing new recipes and very seldom make the same thing twice unless it was very very good.  But after a few times I move onto something new.
  • Guilty pleasure soppy romance novels.
  • When no-one’s looking I sing. Loudly.  And badly 🙂
  • In my next life I want to be a dog in my house.  Spoilt brats.
  • Every morning I am late.  I hate waking up.
  • I believe that anything is possible and that things, good or bad,  happen for a reason.  Also that Karma is a bitch and you will get back what you dish out.
  • I’ve really got to work on building my immune system.  At this point it feels like I dont have one at all.
  • Best advice I was ever given Do the right thing, even if it hurts.

  4. I cant sleep with my feet out the blankets, they have to be tucked in.
  5. I always wanted to own a book store with a fire place reading nook, just so I could curl up with any book I liked and read all day.
